She handed two coins to Lao Gentou and led Sanya directly into the car.
Old Gentou looked at the copper plate in his hand and was surprised.
This Li Tannian never used to take his car without credit, but this was the first time it was so smooth.
Looking at these two copper plates, Lao Gentou looked a little better.
"Sit down, let's go!" he yelled, waving his whip, and drove the bullock cart off.
The oxcart was surrounded by wooden boards of different lengths. As it swayed along the way, Li Tannian would sway this way and that from time to time. Every time she leaned on the uneven wooden boards, her back hurt.
She really had no choice but to hold on to the frame of the car and endure it silently.
After waiting for about half an hour, the ox cart stopped at a big rock.
Li Tannian jumped out of the oxcart with Sanya. When he looked up, he saw three traditional Chinese characters written on the big stone.
She struggled to identify it for a while before she recognized the three characters as Qingshi Town.
"Stepmother, do you understand?"
Sanya smacked her mouth and glanced at Li Tannian suspiciously.
She remembered clearly that the stepmother was illiterate at all.
Li Tannian frowned and gave her a meaningful look: "Do you understand?"
Sanya shrugged and was very proud: "My father can understand it. When he wakes up, you want him to teach you how to read?"
Li Tannian didn't do what he thought.
The two of them entered the city one after the other, and what they saw was a long street that could not be seen to the end. Both sides of the long street were filled with various stalls.
It's the morning market now, and the stalls are bustling with people shouting and drinking.
Qingshi Town is not a small town, but there is only one street in the market. After the stalls selling groceries, there is the vegetable market, the meat market, and then the chicken market and duck market.
Because it was getting late, there were no suitable stalls in the vegetable market, so Li Tannian reluctantly set up a stall at the end of the street.
However, as soon as she set up her stall, she received strange looks from all directions.
"Why is that man selling eels? Can the eels be eaten?"
"No, there must be nothing the family can do, ugh."
There was a discussion in the distance, and Li Tannian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, for more than an hour after that, there was not a single customer who asked about the price.
Knowing that the situation was not good, she simply closed the stall and planned to go to the restaurant to ask while it was still early.
Sanya was mentally prepared and followed her boredly without saying a word.
When the two of them were about to leave the long street, they saw a thief stealing someone's money.
Li Tannian never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, and he had no intention of reminding others.
But before she could go far, she suddenly heard Sanya yelling: "Hey! Why are you stealing people's things!"
Li Tannian's eyelids twitched.
The little thief had just untied the old man with a white beard's money bag. When he saw someone meddling in his own business, he was still a little kid, and a look of fierceness suddenly appeared on his face.
"Stinky girl, you are looking for death!" The little thief grabbed the knife used to cut the money bag and rushed towards Sanya.
"Stepmother, run!" Sanya kicked off and started running, with indescribable tact.
Li Tannian:······
She watched the little thief running towards him without moving, and when he was about to run past her, Li Tannian stretched out her legs and kicked him directly into the hollow of his legs.
She used her skill and skill, and the little thief was unprepared for a moment and was kicked to the ground by her on the spot.
Li Tannian stepped on his creaking spot, bowed his head and picked up the short knife on the ground, put it on the little thief's face, and asked him coldly: "Do you still dare to do it in the future?"
The knife was about to cut through the flesh, and the little thief was so frightened that he cried out in fear, and repeatedly promised: "I don't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore, heroine, please spare my life, please spare my life!"
Li Tannian put away the knife, picked up the money bag from the ground, and handed it to the old man with a white beard who looked at him dumbfounded.
Soon there was a sound of clapping in the crowd.
The old man with a white beard bowed his hands and said gratefully to Li Tannian: "Thank you very much, Miss Yuntian, for helping me."
Li Tannian coughed uncomfortably, and at this moment, Sanya sprang out from nowhere.
"Grandpa, you don't even know how dangerous it was just now. My stepmother and I haven't eaten for several days. We were almost killed by that little thief just now!"
Li Tannian glanced at Sanya in surprise, and saw that she was staring at the money bag in her hand with a clear look, and there was clearly a calculating look in her eyeballs.
Li Tannian was speechless again.
She thought this girl was yelling at the injustice, but she was waiting here!
After hearing this, the white-bearded old man next to him suddenly had a look of compassion and concern on his face.
He wiped away his tears, took two silver coins from his money bag, and stuffed them directly into Sanya's hand.
"Good boy, I'm sorry for you. Go and have something to eat with your mother!"
Sanya also wiped the corners of her eyes without any tears, and pulled Li Tannian away with a lot of gratitude.
Li Tannian looked at the little drama queen in front of him and suddenly felt a sense of shame.
"You haven't eaten in several days?"
Sanya paused and smiled dryly: "Stepmother, don't I want to help you share some of the burden?" After saying this, she neatly put away the dime, as if she was afraid that Li Tannian would come and snatch it away.
Li Tannian endured and endured: "Who taught you to lie? You don't even understand the principle that a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way?"
Moreover, in such a dangerous way, what would she do if the little thief caught her today?
Sanya tilted her head, looking innocent.
"If we hadn't helped him, his money bag would have disappeared long ago. What's wrong with his two silver coins?"
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something, and reluctantly took out a silver dime and gave it to her: "Stepmother, I can only give you one, and I have to keep the other one for daddy's medical treatment."
Li Tannian's face darkened: "Who wants your money? It's wrong to lie to people. If you want to come out with me in the future, don't lie to people again. Also, don't do such dangerous things as today!"
"
Sanya was still in shock that something was wrong with her stepmother. Didn't her stepmother love money the most? Now she didn't want money. When she heard this again, she could only purse her lips: "Oh."
Although she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, since the stepmother said so, she should accept it.
Li Tannian gave her a look that said, "Think carefully" and turned straight to the busiest street in Qingshi Town.
There are two restaurants and three tea shops in this street. Li Tannian went in one by one with eels on his back to sell eels.
As a result, the eel was harder to sell than she imagined.
After being rejected by several shops in succession, she finally entered a restaurant called "April Day". Before she could explain the situation to anyone, she saw three or two waiters who respectfully shouted: "It's the shopkeeper."
When Li Tannian turned around, he saw the old man with the white beard from before.
The old man looked at Li Tannian, then at Sanya, with a concerned look on his face: "Girl, what do you want?"
"Grandpa, my stepmother and I are here to sell things. My father is seriously ill and is waiting for money to treat his illness. We have been rejected by several shops."
"I happen to know Wu Banchang, the owner of April Day. Tell me, what are you here to sell?" The white-bearded old man's eyes were red, and he was even more excited than Sanya.
