Chapter 12: Patrols
"I'm telling you, you're wrong for confiscating your money. Two shawls were stolen, and now it's twenty-nine dollars. Su Wen told Su Xiaomei what happened just now, and she didn't treat her as a child who didn't understand anything just because she was young.
Chen Weimin was stunned as he watched from the sidelines, thinking that the big girl of the Su family was really good. It's too good to say, he has sold things so many times, and he has never seen anything more than the big girl of the Su family. Not only is he eloquent, but he is also very measured in doing things.
The woman who had just stolen something was a repeat offender. often come to steal things, and if they are caught, they will bite back, and the whistleblower will speculate.
Everyone knows it, but they can only endure it.
"The big girl of the Su family, not bad!" Chen Weimin's sincere praise.
"Brother Chen, you're polite." Su Wen smiled modestly, like a mirror in her heart.
When something was stolen just now, Chen Weimin really saw it.

At noon, the sisters bought three white-flour buns to pad their stomachs, and Su Xiaomei ate them with relish. When she is thirsty, she drinks the water she brought, but Su Wen has been very picky since she was a child and doesn't like to drink boiled water. I drank very little, and I thought about going back to see if I could go into the mountains to pick some wild fruits and come back, and make some fruit tea to drink.
After inquiring with Chen Weimin, there are wild kiwi fruits, snake fruits, wild hawthorns, honeysuckle, wild persimmon trees and so on.
Su Wen's heart bloomed when she heard this.
In the afternoon, there were no people in the black market, and it was not until four or five o'clock that the peak season was ushered in. Su Wen shouted at the top of her throat for a long time and sold twenty-one pairs of sleeves. Because one person bought a lot, he also gave two shawls.
It made customers smile, and repeatedly praised Su Wen for being able to do business, and she would have to take care of business when she had the opportunity in the future.
"Here comes the check." With a loud roar, the people in the black market were like startled rabbits, rolling up things one by one and running fast.
Su Xiaomei's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly helped Su Wen clean up her things. The swarm of people who fled almost knocked Su Xiaomei down, but fortunately, Su Wen grabbed it quickly.
"It's too late, I don't want anything." Seeing that the way to escape was blocked by other tofu and egg sellers, Su Wen was extremely decisive, hugged the small cloth bag that collected the money, and pulled Su Xiaomei to run.
"Sleeves, shawls." Su Xiaomei burst into tears in distress, and followed Su Wen to run desperately while crying. For her, these are all made by the eldest sister and the second sister staying up late, each of which is hard work and hard-earned money.
It's even more distressing to lose it like this, than to cut meat from her.
"It's okay, it's worthless." Su Wen didn't blink her eyes, for her, today's income has basically met the requirements. For that little thing, it would be more than worth the loss to be caught.
And they are secretly selling things, so they can't let the people in the village know. According to her understanding, the grandparents of the seven sisters of the Su family in the novel, as well as the second aunt and the third aunt are not good things.
If she and her little sister are caught, those people will definitely fall into the well.

After successfully running out, the sleeve shawl was also lost and he hurried home. On the way back, I passed by the pork shop, because there was a little left in the end, the boss didn't want meat tickets, Su Wen bought two and a half catties of tube bones, and a catty of seven taels of pork belly.
It cost a total of two dollars and five cents.
The main thing is that pork belly is expensive and bones are cheap. In these days, everyone lacks oil and water in their stomachs, and there is no meat on their bones, and there is no oil and water, and no one is rare.
Two and a half catties only cost five cents, and it was the first time that the owner of the meat seller met someone who mainly wanted to buy tube bones, and he was deeply impressed by Su Wen.
"Let's go, let's go home."
Carrying the heavy bones and flesh, Su Xiaomei finally stopped crying. Burst into laughter, already fantasizing about what meat tasted like.
It must be delicious.
Walking all the way back, I was full of energy.
When they arrived at Sanjiaying, it was just dark, and the sisters happened to meet the third aunt Chen Guihua at the head of the village.
