Chapter 14

When Wang Jinxue looked at Su Li, a dissatisfied smile appeared on her face. “Cousin-in-law, are you going to the market too?”

Su Li glanced at her and nodded.

She didn’t want to talk to Wang Jinxue, but there were so many people there. Wang Jinxue had already greeted her. If she didn’t reply, it would seem like she was looking down on her.

Wang Jinxue said, “Cousin must have earned a lot of money from selling a wild boar last time. I’m afraid you’re going to make a huge purchase on the streets!”

“But you have to buy less. It wasn’t easy for Cousin to earn so little money. You still have two children at home. If you spend all the money, how will your family live in the future!”

As soon as she said this, everyone present looked at Su Li.

Su Li was famous for cheating her husband’s money in their village. She did not stay with the family obediently but insisted on splitting up. In the end, she even promised to give Wang Chun a monthly pension of seven taels. No matter how good He Yufeng was at hunting, seven taels a month was not easy. When they entered the winter season, there would be even less prey. Wasn’t she planning to tire her man to death?

As the old saying went, one had to marry a virtuous person. If someone marries Su Li, the family blood would have suffered bad luck!

There were some whispers on the ox cart. Because Su Li was present, no one dared to go overboard.

When Wang Jinxue heard the discussion, the corners of her lips curled up smugly. As long as she could step on Su Li, she would be happy.

Su Li glanced at Wang Jinxue and said, “If you’re so free, you might as well think of a way to have a child.”

Wang Jinxue choked. This was her Achilles’ heel.

The woman in the car started to change the topic again.

Su Li coldly took out five copper coins for Old Zhao, who was driving the carriage, and said, “You can leave now.

The journey was bumpy. The women in the car chattered non-stop. Everyone was discussing the new things that had happened in the village.

Su Li had been resting with her eyes closed along the way. Wang Jinxue had wanted to mock her many times, but she had never found a chance.

When they arrived in town, Old Zhao stopped the ox cart and said, “We’re here. As usual, we’ll go back at 12:00 pm. If you want to buy something, hurry up and buy it. If you want to sell something, you have to close the stall when the time comes. Otherwise, I won’t wait for anyone.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. This rule had been going on for a long time. Every time there was a market, they would return at that time. If they were any later, the sky would turn dark.

Wang Jinxue got off the ox cart and was about to say something to Su Li. However, Su Li did not give Wang Jinxue a chance at all. After she agilely jumped down from the ox cart, she patted the dust off her butt and left.

Wang Jinxue snorted and walked away too.

Su Li looked at everything in front of her. Everything was so illusory and real.

There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the town. In the middle of the road, there were vendors pushing carts and hawking. There were also small vendors setting up stalls at the side. There were not many styles of things, and there were only a few things that were the same when you walked through the market. However, the noisy voices gave the aura of the mortal world.

Su Li still had the restorative incense that she had picked previously. She planned to make a trip to the medical center first to see if she could sell the restorative incense.

With surplus money in her hands, she would not panic. If she did not have money in her pocket, she would be restricted from doing anything.

Su Li asked around and found out that the most famous medical center in town was called Huiren Hall. There were also physicians there. Usually, the villagers nearby would go to Huiren Hall to have their headaches and fevers treated.

Moreover, Huiren Hall’s price was fair. From the moment it opened until now, there had never been a situation where the shop bullied customers.

Su Li decided to go to Huiren Hall to take a look. The town was neither big nor small. Huiren Hall was in a prime location in town, so Su Li found it without asking for directions.

She stood at the door and looked up at the words “Huiren Hall” on the plaque.

Su Li closed her eyes and sniffed. A medicinal fragrance assailed her nose. This familiar smell made her feel as if she had returned to her previous life.
