Chapter 133 Then I’ll forgive you this time

At this time, there were five or six books in front of Jian Shiming, while Jian Shiyi and Jian Shiwu each picked two books. Jian Erni had just read two story books.

There are eleven books in total, which are not something ordinary people can afford.

Tao Xi nodded firmly, "Of course I'll buy it, the shopkeeper can do the math."

As she spoke, she used her sleeve as a cover to take out the silver ingot from the last time she sold vegetables from the space and placed it in front of the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper:!!!

His eyes widened, he hesitantly touched the silver ingot Tao Xi placed in front of him, and asked cautiously:

"Little lady, are you really sure?"

"Sister-in-law, I won't buy mine."

Jian Erni was sensible and wanted to take the storybook back. This was not a serious book, only the ones bought by her eldest brother and younger brothers were useful.

"I also want to read this book, buy it!"

Tao Xi looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, "Of course I will buy it, but shopkeeper, you have to give me a discount."

"Of course!"

The shopkeeper moved his abacus excitedly. There were eleven books in total, totaling one or two dozen articles.

As he spoke, he found some pieces of broken silver and nine ounces of copper coins for Tao Xi.

The price is not expensive, but one tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family to eat for a year. It is no wonder that many people in ancient times could not afford to read.

Tao Xi put the money he had paid into his money bag, and when he turned his head, he saw several surprised looks.

Several children were amazed, wondering why Tao Xi had so much money.

As for Jian Shiming, he felt very guilty when he thought of the pieces of silver he gave to Tao Xi that day.

Alas, they ended up being raised by her.

After leaving the bookstore, Tao Xi and the others lost interest in continuing their shopping, but they passed by a blacksmith shop on their way out of the city.

The shop was extremely deserted, with almost no one around. The blacksmith in the shop sat there with a sad face and sighed.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Tao Xi parked the oxcart at the door of the shop, and the blacksmith immediately stood up excitedly.

"Little lady, do you want to buy something?"

The blacksmith's body was dark and he was so hungry that he had no flesh left, but his eyes were particularly bright.

Tao Xi walked in and saw that there were not many things in the shop, and Dafeng did not allow private forging of weapons, so they were mostly farm tools.

"How to sell these farm tools?"

Tao Xi took a small iron pick with a hoe and a few sickles, and a smile immediately appeared on the blacksmith's dark face.

"The iron puller costs you twelve cents, the hoe costs forty cents, and the sickle costs ten cents."

"Um."

Tao Xi put down what he was holding and wanted to ask Jian Shiming. The clinker hadn't been exported yet, so the blacksmith was afraid that Tao Xi wouldn't want it, so he immediately said:

"Little lady, can I give you a penny less?"

The price is already a good deal. If it weren't for being so hungry, the blacksmith wouldn't sell it.

Tao Xi looked at Jian Shiming, and Jian Shiming nodded slightly to Tao Xi, "You all listen to my wife."

"Okay, we bought it."

Tao Xi took out one hundred and two coins from his money bag and gave it to the blacksmith, while Jian Erni put the farm tools they bought on the bullock cart.

"Little lady, I gave you too much."

The blacksmith did not expect that Tao Xi would buy it at the price he initially said.

Tao Xi smiled: "It's not easy for everyone. I know you still made a loss at this price."

These were all beaten before the disaster, but now the blacksmith just wants to exchange them for silver to buy some food to cope with the situation.

"Thank you, thank you, you are a good person."

The blacksmith was moved to tears. It was only when something big happened that he could see clearly who were the good guys and the bad guys.

He was lucky to meet such a kind-hearted young lady today.

"You're welcome."

Tao Xi drove the ox cart away from Yun County. The ox cart rattled towards Taomu Village. Before he could reach his house, a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old suddenly came out.

Tao Xi looked familiar, but Jian Erni tightened her face and looked a little nervous.

It turned out that this was Wang Youcai, the grandson of Wang Laogen's family. He nervously stopped Tao Xi's cart and said, "I'm sorry, Erni!"

Turns out he was here to apologize.

Tao Xi and Jian Shiming looked at each other and silently agreed to leave the matter to Jian Erni.

Jian Erni looked into the young man's serious eyes and pursed her lips slightly, "Since you know you were wrong, I will forgive you this time."

"Ernie, I really mean it."

Wang Youcai stood there with his back straight, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Tao Xi and Jian Shiming, but said to Jian Erni seriously:

"I won't give up. I will work hard and grow into a man. Just wait for me!"

He put down his declaration and ran away quickly, as if he was afraid of hearing Jian Erni's rejection.

This look was inexplicably cute, and Jian Erni's pretty face turned red. Fortunately, due to her skin color, it wasn't very noticeable.

The two children, Jian Shiyi and Jian Shiwu, didn't know why. Jian Shiyi's big eyes were full of doubts.

"Sister Erni, did Wang Youcai bully you?"

"Why did he apologize?"

Jian Shiwu's voice was a little cold, and Tao Xi knew that the second brother valued his family very much, and he was probably angry.

Jian Erni waved her hands quickly, "It's not a big deal. Don't worry, it's been solved."

Fortunately, the two children did not ask any more questions. The oxcart stopped in their own yard. Tao Xi turned to Jian Erni and said:

"Erni, ask Wang Zhou to come for lunch later."

"Hello!"

Jian Erni jumped off the bullock cart and ran away. Tao Xi moved all the farm tools into the house, and Jian Shiming followed her to help.

I've been a little greedy recently. I've been busy growing seeds for the past two days. Tao Xi found that the fish in the spatial stream have grown a lot.

So he caught one specially and cooked it in fish soup. Jian Shiming was responsible for lighting the fire. He was too smart to ask where the fish came from.

"I will work hard to make money."

Jian Shiming spoke abruptly, which stunned Tao Xi who was handling the fish. She raised her eyes and looked over.

"Don't be anxious, don't waste your knowledge."

Jian Shiming is the future chief assistant, and Tao Xi also hopes that he can rise like he did in his previous life, but not change his life just to make money.

"I know."

Jian Shiming's self-esteem has been severely hit recently. Sometimes he wonders, if it weren't for Tao Xi, would they still be able to live such a comfortable life?

He owes Tao Xi, no, the entire Taomu Village should owe Tao Xi.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Tao Xi keenly noticed that Jian Shiming's mood was not right. He lowered his head to light the fire and his voice was a little hoarse.

"It's nothing, I just feel useless."

The disaster made him realize his own insignificance and incompetence, but he would never give up on himself.

"Don't think so."

Tao Xi put the fish into the pot and cooked it, with a smile on his face, "Everyone has his or her own strengths.

You're just not good at what I'm good at, but you have skills that I'm not good at."

The male protagonist in the book is very smart. If she hadn't come from modern times, sometimes she wouldn't be able to keep up with his brain circuitry.

She looked very serious when she spoke, and her glass-like eyes were full of trust. Jian Shiming felt that her heart was shaken, and she was instantly filled with strength.

"You're right, I should use my strengths."

When the provincial examination is resumed, he will work hard to take part in it, hoping to pass the examination and get the official robe.

Only in this way can we give her and her brothers and sisters a better life.

Dear friends, who do you think is the more suitable official match for Er Ni?
