Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Bought Quite a Few Things
Shopkeeper Li nodded understandingly, "Of course, of course." He paused before continuing, "However, I have a request, which is that I hope Miss Yang’s drunken crab will only be supplied to our shop."
"Of course, there’s no problem. I can sign a contract with you."
"That would be best." Shopkeeper Li then went downstairs to fetch a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, followed by a young assistant.
The young assistant was literate and wrote two contracts according to the opinions of both Shopkeeper Li and Yang Chuxia. Each of them took one copy.
The characters in this era were similar to the traditional characters in ancient times, so Yang Chuxia could almost understand them. Still, she handed it to Yang Dachuan first as a formality. Yang Dachuan, who hadn’t read for many years, actually had a hard time identifying the characters.
Only after waiting for Yang Dachuan to read painstakingly word by word did Yang Chuxia take it back and go over it again before signing and sealing it.
After everything was settled, the shopkeeper paid her eight taels of silver. As for the clay pots, they would be fetched next time.
Considering that they might need more money when going to the county town in the day after tomorrow, she had been worried about not having enough money for bribes. But now that she had silver, Yang Chuxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, let’s go to the town to buy some things before going back."
"Alright, Dad will listen to you."
Yang Dachuan naturally had no objection. In fact, his mind was still on the silver coins he had just received, and he hadn’t even heard what Yang Chuxia was saying. He just followed her out.
With the silver, Yang Chuxia first bought some ingredients to make drunken crab and some clay pots. Then she went to the market to buy some meat, chicken, and ribs. She also bought some candy and snacks for her younger siblings. Finally, they went to the rice shop and bought thirty catties of rice.
Seeing the ox cart full of things, she thought that it was good to have borrowed someone else’s oxcart. Otherwise, she and her father wouldn’t have been able to carry everything back.
After buying everything, father and daughter led the ox cart back to the village. When they arrived at the village, it was already late in the day. People squatting at the entrance of the village saw the father and daughter coming back from town and just greeted them. Since Yang Chuxia had covered the items on the ox cart with some straw and was sitting on top of it, no one bothered to take a look or ask about it.
But when the ox cart stopped in front of the old Yang family’s house to unload the items, the people of the old Yang family did see them. However, due to Yang Chuxia’s increasingly violent behavior these days, hitting anyone she caught, no one dared to come up and ask.
Even Ms.Liu didn’t dare to say anything about the Third family not providing some provisions for their parents. In fact, after all the chaos in recent days, even if Yang Chuxia and her family were not at home, Ms.Liu wouldn’t dare to sneak into the house and take things anymore. The reason is that this little girl, regardless of the exact situation, as long as she has made up her mind, she would beat anyone she caught.
As for relationships with elders, acts of filial piety, and the reputation of a virtuous girl, she simply doesn’t care about them, so Liu Shi had no leverage and was already thinking about giving up antagonizing Yang Chuxia.
Ms.Wang, Yang Qingrui, and the others were initially shocked when they saw all the items Yang Chuxia had brought back, but when they heard that it was the money from selling the clay pots filled with crabs, they were immediately overjoyed.
Young Yang Qingrui and Yang Qingtong could hardly contain their excitement, while Yang Xiayun held on to a bag of candy and a bag of preserved fruits, unwilling to put them down.
Of course, Ye Zi’an, who was still recovering from his injuries at Wang family’s, was also delighted for Yang Chuxia.
