Chapter 239 Exiled Man's Sister-in-law 12
Linzhi found an old lady on the street with ten cents, told her what she needed and asked her to lead the way to buy them. The old lady had never expected that she could have such a job just while basking in the sun with her grandson in her arms. She happily took them to familiar shops and bought a lot of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, flour and grains.

Clothes, shoes and socks for Liu's mother and Liu Xiaomei, and they also bought more than a dozen pairs of thousand-layer soles.

He bought all the other odds and ends he could think of, such as a sewing box, oil tarpaulin, etc., and yet it only cost him more than thirty taels of silver.

Yu Wan's face looked grim, thinking back to when she went to the town to buy things, people probably saw her as a stranger and asked for a high price, more than ten taels for just a few dry biscuits.

He became more and more unhappy and said directly that he was going to buy something.

Liu Yang was a little worried and wanted to go with her, but she was still carrying Lin Zhi's things, so she could only remind Sister Wan'er to be careful and come back quickly.

Yu Wan turned around and walked straight to the pawnshop. In the shopkeeper's puzzled gaze, she said that she wanted to buy the jade pendant. When the shopkeeper heard it, he suddenly understood, and without saying a word, he directly offered a price of five thousand taels!

??? "One thousand two hundred taels, shopkeeper, no one else will come to buy except me."

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Miss, five thousand taels, no bargaining."

He was just wondering why the lady who was pawning the jade pendant said "just name your price" before leaving. He thought he had misheard. It turned out that she knew that the young lady would come back to buy it. Haha, he deserved to make the four thousand taels today!

Yu Wan was almost angry to death. She turned around and left. She didn't believe that the shopkeeper would not lower the price.

As a result, even after leaving the pawnshop, the shopkeeper was still calmly calculating with an abacus inside. He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He had no choice but to go in with a dark face and spend five thousand taels to buy back the jade pendant.

Here, Linzhi bought some sugar and tea.

Liu Xiaomei hurriedly said that it was too expensive. In the past, as a rich girl, she naturally didn't care about these things. But since she was exiled and suffered hunger every day, she felt distressed when she saw her second sister-in-law spending so much money.

They were even more worried that the money would not be enough for them to make it to the border.

What's more, when they arrived at the border, they were also prisoners and it was difficult for them to earn money, so they had to be frugal.

Lin Zhi said, "How can you reach the border without eating and drinking well? Your third brother and mother are both in poor health right now, so neither of them needs to be taken good care of."

Liu Yang was stunned, and finally pursed her lips and followed her silently without saying anything. She knew how hard her mother had worked along the way. She was hungry and her body could not bear it anymore.

The third brother also injured his leg. During this period, he had not tasted any meat except the chicken legs that the second sister-in-law exchanged for him.

In just over ten days, the whole family suffered all the hardships they had ever experienced in their lives.

"But, we buy so much, can the officers and soldiers just sit there and do nothing?" After all, they are still prisoners. The officers and soldiers will not watch them enjoy themselves. It is normal for them to suffer.

Lin Zhi turned to look at Yu Wan who was walking towards them: "This depends on your sister Wan'er."

Yu Wan didn't understand at first, but her face turned dark after hearing this. She hadn't even settled the score for Lin Zhi cheating her into spending five thousand taels to buy a jade pendant, and now she was trying to trick her again!

"Sister Wan'er must have a way, right?" Lin Zhi smiled beautifully.

Yu Wan wanted to say no, but Lin Zhi had already taken the initiative and told the officers and soldiers who had just come into the city to buy things that she had bought them. She was very touched and said, "Sister Wan'er is really kind. I was mean before, and I will never misunderstand her again in the future."

Yu Wan...thought of Liu Jing and Liu Yang standing beside him, she could only choose to admit it.

I really hated Linzhi in my heart.

Liu's mother and others were shocked to see them bringing so many things back.

Lin Zhi said to Liu Jing who was looking over, "You pawned your jade pendant for 100 taels, and spent half of it." Liu Jing was instantly so angry that he felt dizzy and shouted, "50 taels, you spent it all? Do you know that we still have to keep going? It will take at least another half a month to get to the border, you!" He turned around and questioned Liu Yang, "Why didn't you stop us?"

One by one, they all give him a lot of worry.

He originally thought that this woman probably knew as well as he did that Yu Wan had space, so she trusted her more.

I even speculated that she had known that Yu Wan had space before, so she kept making a fuss along the way. I thought maybe she had changed it now, but she still didn't think about the consequences! She actually spent so much.

Thinking of a possibility, he asked tentatively: "Alive?" If it was dead, he would strangle Lin Zhi to death.

Lin Zhi said impatiently: "You have been exiled, what's the point of living."

Liu Jing nearly fainted from anger, but he gritted his teeth and held back, letting Xiaohu's father help him get off the carriage. He wanted to see what they had bought, holding on to the last glimmer of hope that at least they had bought something to fill their stomachs.

As a result, refined rice, flour, sugar, tea salt, several sets of clothes, and more than a dozen pairs of thousand-layer soles.

Liu Yang was afraid that he would be angry, so he quickly explained: "Third brother, Second Sister-in-law is thinking about you and mother. Mother has not been in good health recently, and you need to recuperate after your injury. You need to eat something good. As for the shoes, Second Sister-in-law said that the embroidered shoes that mother and I wore were all rotten, so..."

Liu Jing: "...Forget it, just buy it." When he saw the shoes, he had nothing to complain about.

His mother and little sister had injured their feet, so he was thinking about buying new shoes for them, but he forgot to remind them. Now that Linzhi had bought them, it was just right. Although he felt that the refined rice and flour were not suitable for eating now, but... fifty taels was fifty taels. However, he had to keep the rest of the money and couldn't let Linzhi continue to squander it!

Yu Wan saw that he had been asking about Lin Zhi since they came back, but had not asked about herself. She felt embarrassed and called out "A Jing."

Liu Jing looked over and she smiled and handed him the medicine: "This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. After you use it, you will get better soon."

Liu Jing just smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Then he turned around and asked Liu Yang to give him the remaining money.

Liu Yang then realized that he had not explained yet, so he quickly whispered to him that in fact he had exchanged it for one thousand taels, but his second sister-in-law was afraid that if she said too much, it would make others jealous and put the officers and soldiers in an awkward position, so she said it was one hundred taels.

Liu Jing subconsciously looked at Lin Zhi with surprise.

Lin Zhi walked over slowly, took out a banknote from the nine banknotes, and threw the rest into his arms: "Travel expenses." She turned and walked to Liu's mother, who was happily looking at the things she bought, took out a pair of shoes and asked her to change.

Liu's mother was embarrassed to change her shoes in front of outsiders, so she took her shoes and walked to the back of the carriage to change them.

Liu Jing blinked slowly, and the tense expression on his face could not help but relax. He sneered, "It only costs one hundred taels to go to the county town. Her entry fee is really expensive!" As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose, and he taught his younger sister, "Don't learn from your second sister-in-law."

Liu Yang knew that his third brother was happy now, so he also smiled: "Third brother, second sister-in-law is really amazing." He chattered to him about how second sister-in-law bargained with the shopkeeper for one thousand taels.

Yu Wan, who was completely ignored and could only watch them, could no longer keep her smile on and left with a wave of her sleeves.

Liu Yang noticed the movement and turned around, surprised: "Sister Wan'er, wait!"

The other party seemed not to hear and kept walking.

Liu Yang wanted to chase after him, but Liu Jing stopped her and said, "Forget it."

Liu Yang looked at him in surprise: "Third brother?"
