The pumpkin seedlings are growing longer and longer, and are gradually climbing the mountain shelf. At this time, it is approaching the end of the month.

One month passed in the blink of an eye, and she would be unemployed at home in two months! So she had to find a way.

People in the city do not have the habit of eating mushrooms, so it is difficult to surround the county with her mushrooms.

In the days approaching the end of the month, Tangchi would go into the mountains every day, firstly to deliver mushrooms to the city at the beginning of the month, and secondly, for his own food for the past half month.

Perhaps because of the good conditions in the forest, plants grow very quickly. Many plants have grown out of the path that Tangchi stepped on half a month ago, but they can still be identified.

After filling the bamboo basket with mushrooms, she walked inside, following the original path each time, but she didn't find anything yet.

On the first day of the month, Tangchi got up early and went into the city.

Liu Shi was waiting for her alone at the city gate.

He said that Wu Shan would not come again and that he alone would be enough to send her away.

Tangchi thinks about it too. With the county magistrate here, those gangsters don't dare to do bad things. One person is enough.

The magistrate seems to really like eating mushrooms, so every mushroom is personally checked by the housekeeper.

Still the same as before, Tangchi got forty-eight coins.

When she went back, she refused Liu Shi's escort. She planned to walk around the city by herself. If Liu Shi accompanied her, she would be treated like a county magistrate.

Tangchi found a stall selling oil.

"We pressed this oil ourselves from rapeseed, so it's sure to be fragrant!" The oil buyers came from other villages outside the city.

Tangchi bought a small can of oil for thirty cents. When she paid, she counted the money and found that the housekeeper gave her two cents more.

Since it was extra money, why didn't she want it? Tangchi was happy for a long time about getting two more cents.

Just when she was about to leave the city carrying a bamboo basket, Zhong Cheng appeared.

"Hey, why are you alone?" Zhong Cheng crossed his arms and looked at the soup pool.

Tangchi smiled at him and said, "Brother, aren't you alone too?"

"Haha..." Zhong Cheng was taken aback by Tang Chi's cold humor and sneered twice.

Seeing Zhong Cheng slowly walking towards her, Tang Chi was worried that the small jar of oil in the bamboo basket might be knocked over by the ruffian, and he felt a little anxious.

"Wait! Wait!" Tangchi stretched out a hand to stop him from stepping forward.

Zhong Cheng stopped, crossed his arms and said with a smile: "What, you want to run again?"

Tang Chi quickly shook his head. "No, I won't run away. Speaking of Brother Zhong, can we talk properly?"

"Why didn't I talk properly?" Zhong Cheng asked.

"……"It was my fault!

Tang Chi tried his best to smile and said: "Brother, Brother Zhong, I was ignorant before and I was wrong. Can you make up for it now?"

Zhong Cheng sneered, walked to Tangchi and spread his palms.

"I understand, I understand!" Tangchi smiled insincerely, then took out the remaining twenty cents from his arms and handed it to him.

"That's all." Tang Chi looked at Zhong Cheng carefully and said, fearing that he would not think it was enough.

If it's not enough, she has no choice but to grab the money back and run away!

Zhong Cheng took the money and weighed it twice in his hand.

Tangchi's eyes followed the string of money up and down. "That's really all there is."

Zhong Cheng held the money in his hand, took it back, and said, "I'll barely let you go."
