Chapter 85 That Girl Is Not Ordinary

The shopkeeper took the silver and weighed it in his hand, smiling: "No need to weigh it, this is two taels. I have been doing this for decades, and I have handled a lot of silver, and I have never made a mistake."

"Change you five hundred coins--"

The shopkeeper took out a string of copper coins and put it on the counter.

Gu Fei took it and put it in her arms.

The shopkeeper looked at her with a smile: "Why don't you count it? What if there are a few missing?"

Gu Fei smiled: "I can see that you are a kind person. Besides, you have such a big business, how could you be short of a few copper coins? No need to count."

After saying that, Gu Fei went out to help Chen.

The shopkeeper looked at her from behind and said to the waiter beside him, "This little girl is not an ordinary person. She is generous and open in her actions."

The waiter smiled and said, "Why is she not ordinary? I think she is no different from other girls."

The shopkeeper shook his head and pointed at the village chief who was still hesitating, "See, these farmers counted and pinched a few copper coins and were reluctant to take them out."

"Look at the girl's dress, she is not rich, but she is generous and speaks in a pleasing way. If someone marries her, she will definitely be a good manager of the family."

"Also, which family would give money to a little girl for safekeeping? What does this mean? Either she is favored at home or she has her own ability, neither of which is easy."

The young man in green brocade was passing by the counter. Hearing this, he looked outside and saw only a slender back wearing a blue floral jacket and skirt.

The village chief was reluctant to pay the money in the end.

He came out to discuss with the other families.

Several families were shocked to hear that Gu Fei's family spent only 1 tael and 5 cents for accommodation and water.

In the past, the family had food to eat, and this much money was enough for half a year.

Qian was the first to shout, "It's so expensive, I don't have money to live, I'd rather live in the wild."

Zhang Lao Da also shook his head, "I can't afford to live, I can't afford to live, 50 cents per person, and 150 cents per bucket of water. If this goes on, it won't take a few days for the family to be empty."

Shanzi's mother tightly grasped her trouser waist. It was so expensive that she really couldn't live there.

Everyone discussed what to do.

Finally, it was Gu Zhong who came up with an idea, "I think we should talk to the shopkeeper, we can rest in the yard at night, but we still have to buy water, and the mule has to eat grass."

Everyone nodded, this is a good idea, and each family can save hundreds of cents.

Finally, the village chief talked to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper finally agreed that they could sleep on the floor in the corner next to the stable.

The animals were defecating and peeing near the stable, which was smelly and stinky, but there was nothing they could do. At least this place was windproof and safe.

With Lian'er, Gu Zhong didn't even bring water, and ordered Lian'er to follow the waiter to fetch water.

Lian'er's mother and brother didn't dare to enter the door of the inn. They found a sheltered place on the corner of the street and were cooking cornmeal porridge.

They followed the caravan today and finally got water.

Chen started cooking.

Li Chunhua was cutting sauerkraut and planning to make sauerkraut soup.

Gu Fei came to her mother, "Mom, aren't you going to eat meat today?"

Chen shook her head, "No, I can't eat it."

"Didn't you see? Only our family can sleep in a dormitory and eat white flour buns. Who wouldn't be jealous? You'd better find a way to secretly eat the meat later."

Gu Fei licked her lips. Alas, it's miserable to have meat but not be able to eat it.
