Killing Pigs

Su Li said, "I'll buy another catty of pork. Give these things to me. If you still think it's a loss, I won't buy any of these things."

The pig intestines could not be sold for much because the smell was too unpleasant. If one did not know how to deal with it, they would feel like they were eating sh*t!

"Alright then!" The pork shop owner reluctantly agreed. Seeing that Su Li had bought so much, it was not a loss to not charge for the pig intestines.

Twenty catties of pork lard and one catty of streaky pork cost a total of 535 copper coins. It was really too expensive. The money she had just earned was gone before it warmed up in her pocket!

When would she be able to realize her freedom to eat meat?

However, when she thought of the free pig intestines and pig lungs, Su Li's depressed mood improved a little.

"These things are a little heavy. Can you do it?" the pork shop owner asked.

These things added up to more than 20 catties. Although the girl in front of him looked chubby, she was definitely a weak chicken. He had never seen a fatty that was so strong.

"No problem!" Su Li threw the basket full of things on her shoulder and left swiftly.

The pork shop owner looked at Su Li's back and muttered, "I didn't expect this girl to be so agile, and so strong although she's so fat. Also, the way she swung the basket on her back just now was so handsome. If only she could help me kill pigs!"

His son was about the same age as Su Li. If Su Li could marry his son, the child Su Li gave birth to would definitely be very sturdy. In the future, he could even bring our pig slaughtering business to new heights.

"Oh no, I forgot to ask her name and where she lives!"

The pork shop owner was a little vexed, but Su Li had already walked far away. It was not appropriate for him to chase after her, so he could only give up.

Su Li did not know that her suave throw just now had successfully changed the opinion of the pork tycoon and even made him want her to be his daughter-in-law.

However, this was not her fault. Every married woman here would wear a woman's hairpin to let others know that they were married. The original owner had no feelings for He Yufeng and was disdained to wear He Yufeng's hairpin.

Su Li, who came from the future world, had no idea that there was such a thing. The hair she was combing now was still a bun used by unmarried girls, so the pork shop owner misunderstood.

It was still a little tiring to carry more than 20 catties of things. Su Li found an empty place and placed the things in her interspace. In order to avoid being noticed, she only threw a large portion of the things into the interspace, leaving a small portion in the basket.

The soap mold could be made by herself, so Su Li did not plan to buy ready-made ones. It was mainly because she was short of money, so she had to scrimp!

It was still too early to go back. Su Li recalled the pitiful gazes of the two little fellows at home and the patched clothes on their bodies. She decided to go to the ready-made clothes shop to take a look. If there was a suitable one, she could buy clothes for each of them and bring them back.

Su Li chose a relatively remote shop that didn't look too expensive. After all, the money in her pocket was limited. She couldn't afford anything too expensive!

Before Su Li could enter the shop, a slightly plump woman walked out with a smile on her face.

"Miss, do you want to buy clothes?"

The woman who spoke was called Wang Guifen, the lady boss of this ready-to-wear shop.

Su Li nodded. "Just looking around."

Wang Guifen, who was familiar with her, pulled Su Li in. "Come, come, come. My family has the most styles. Every year, the popular styles in Beijing will be with me. Other shops don't have them, only mine have them."

"I can't guarantee anything else. As long as you wear my clothes, I guarantee that you'll be more beautiful than everyone else. Matchmakers would even trample and break your house door."

Su Li was speechless.

Although she had lost some weight, even if she wore a gorgeous dress, she would not be more beautiful than everyone else. However, it was possible that she could crush a large group of people!

Wang Guifen casually picked up a dress. "Miss, try this. Your skin is fair and you're tall. You're definitely the best-looking person on this street."

Su Li only wanted to laugh now. Wouldn't her conscience hurt if she said these words?

"I won't buy it myself. I'll buy two sets for the children at home."

When Wang Guifen heard that Su Li wasn't buying, she was a little disappointed. After all, adult clothes were more profitable than children.

"What do you want? I'll introduce them to you." Wang Guifen was still very enthusiastic.

Su Li said, "There's no need. I'll take a look myself."

She didn't like someone nagging beside her.

"Then take your time to browse. Call me if you need anything." Wang Guifen turned and went to greet other guests.

Su Li heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Wang Guifen leave. This passionate attitude made her a little overwhelmed!

Su Li chose two sets of clothes. One each for He Dahu and He Erhu.

"How much are these two sets?"

Wang Guifen took a look and said, "I hit it off with you. Just give me 300 copper coins for these two sets of clothes!"

Three hundred copper coins?

Wasn't this asking for her life?

Now, she could not fork out 300 copper coins at all. Su Li only felt a headache. As expected, you can't be a hero without money!

"A hundred copper coins," Su Li said.

The corners of Wang Guifen's eyes twitched. She had seen people bargain, but she had never seen someone bargain like this!

"I really can't sell it at this price. Look at our fabric and workmanship. They're all top-notch. If you manage to purchase them, it's your gain. I'm not bragging. Look, our shop is full of repeat customers…"

Wang Guifen was still talking non-stop when Su Li walked out of the door.

"If you can't, then forget it. I'll go somewhere else to take a look."

Wang Guifen quickly pulled Su Li back. "280 copper coins. It's really the lowest price!"

Su Li continued walking out.

"Two hundred and forty copper coins. If it's any lower, I'll really lose money!" Wang Guifen looked troubled.

Su Li turned back to look at Wang Guifen and said, "120 copper coins. If it works, I'll buy it. If it doesn't, I won't force it."

Wang Guifen patted her thigh and looked like she had been tricked. "Sigh, we hit it off today. I'll sell it to you at a loss. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't sell it to her!"

Su Li was speechless again. She made it sound like it was real!

She spent another 120 copper coins. The 500 copper coins she had earned just now and her original amount of money were about to be completely spent. She had not bought anything else yet. This money was really not enough.

There were too many things lacking at home. Su Li bought a few more bowls. She originally wanted to buy some seasoning, but she realized that there were no shops selling seasoning in town. There was not even a small vendor!

Su Li couldn't help but wonder if the people here didn't use seasoning.

Since she couldn't find what she wanted, Su Li carried the basket and walked to the original place. She could still use the other things at home, but she had to save as much money as she could.

If she spent all her money now, she would not be able to do anything!

When she returned, Old Zhao was already waiting at the same spot. Old Zhao was an honest person and did not talk much. When he saw Su Li, he only took a glance before continuing to smoke.

It was almost time to go back. Everyone returned one after another, whispering to each other.

When everyone saw that Su Li's basket was filled with a lot of things, a trace of jealousy flashed across their eyes.

Su Li was so fat and had such a bad temper. She even wreaked havoc all day long. Why was she so lucky to marry a capable husband?

The heavens were really too unfair!

Wang Jinxue sniffed and said exaggeratedly, "Cousin-in-law, did you buy pork? I can smell the fragrance of meat."
