Chapter 370: 370: The Hustle and Bustle of the Busy Market Day

Even though the land was fertile, she didn’t know how to farm. Given that Ye Lei had a decent income from his job at the government office, she was considering finding a reliable long-term tenant to farm the land. As for the hot spring farm on the property, she hadn’t quite decided the best way to handle it.

As soon as Liu Sisi made this proposal, it was immediately endorsed by the people around her.

“Is Sisi serious about this? If she is, we will definitely choose her land first for tenancy.”

“Your newly purchased land is quite far from Upper Village, isn’t it? It seems inconvenient for us to travel to and from for farming.”

“I happened to hear about this too. Apparently, it’s on the official road not far from the county, and it’s prime land.”

“Moreover, it’s mentioned there’s a hot spring adjacent to a farm on the land. Sisi, how much silver did your family spend to buy it? This is good land.”

People were chattering away, laughing and discussing as they made their way to the small town.

The Aunt leaned in close and whispered in Liu Sisi’s ear, “Sisi, I heard that your father received some good land as well. How about leasing it to my family for farming? Your father is very meticulous about farming. You don’t have to reduce the rent, just give it to me at the original price. We will still adhere to the village’s customs and pay you an annual rent, okay?”

Liu Sisi was taken aback. She had forgotten that her father had also received a share of wet and dry land. If fully cultivated, it would certainly be enough for her family’s needs.

“Eldest Sister, it’s not that I’m unwilling to lease the land to you. But this land ultimately belongs to my father. Even if I wanted to lease it out, I, as his daughter-in-law, would have to ask him carefully first, right? However, I can promise you that if my father agrees, I will immediately draft a contract with you. What do you think?”

Li Susi’s words naturally left the other party speechless. With a forced laugh, she said, “Agreed! It’s settled. Please ask your father when you get home. If Elderly Di agrees, please lease the land to me. I am the second daughter-in-law of the Sun Family who lives at the entrance to the village. Please tell Elderly Di, he will surely know my houseowner.”

The second daughter-in-law of the Sun Family? She made a mental note of that.

Naturally, Liu Sisi agreed repeatedly. She cheerfully arrived at the small town, then headed straight for the bookstore.

Following her, along with Guihua, was of course Miao Cuihua!

No matter where Miao Cuihua went, her loud voice could be clearly heard, even in the bustling market.

“Sisi, my family slaughtered a fat pig yesterday. Does your family like ‘blood Wang’? Shall I send a few pieces to your home tonight?”

‘Blood Wang’ referred to pig’s blood, and ‘a few pieces’ meant a few blocks of it.

Miao Cuihua’s comment amused Sister Guihua, “Miao Cuihua, we hunt. We won’t be lacking a few pieces of your pig’s blood. Stop joking, will you?”

“This… this is different from what you have. I know you have meat to eat, that’s why I said I’ll send ‘blood Wang’, isn’t it?”

Miao Cuihua, not feeling embarrassed in the slightest, was grinning wide when talking about food, “It’s very filling. Especially during the New Year, it’s great for making soup. If you don’t understand food, then stop talking nonsense.”

“Who, who do you think will cherish your measly blocks of pig’s blood? Every house that slaughters a pig for the New Year will have a basin full!” Guihua muttered, refusing to submit.

“Alright, stop fighting, look at the crowd. Let’s hurry and go.”

The reason Liu Sisi said this was because the bookstore was arrayed with people wanting to buy things. It was jam-packed and impenetrable.

Ignoring everything else, she quickly pulled Sister Guihua to the back door and went into the inner room, while the towering Miao Cuihua had long been lost in the dense crowd.

In the bookstore, Liu Zhi’er, who was in charge of selling spring couplets and window paper-cuts, was covered in sweat despite the light snowfall, entirely due to being surrounded and barricaded by the crowd.

Liu Sisi didn’t bother about anything else either, she quickly pushed her way in and immediately began to busy herself with all sorts of tasks, working herself into a state of confusion and exhaustion.

Only when it was getting dark in the afternoon did the number of customers coming to the bookstore start to decrease.

“Oh no! I haven’t bought the items needed for the New Year yet, I wonder if there’s anything left to buy now!” Liu Sisi said, annoyingly slapping her forehead.

“Don’t hurry, look, I think I’ve bought everything that needs to be bought, haven’t I?”

A voice suddenly came from the corner. Liu Sisi turned around and saw Di Yelei walking towards her with a large basket on his back, a smile on his face. He put down the basket, spread out the items inside, revealing firecrackers, incense, rice, flour, salt, oil, as well as various toys and gifts for the children. It looked quite complete.

“Where are the fireworks? Didn’t you buy a few to bring back? At least leave something for the children to remember.”

Only after looking did Liu Sisi say: “Buy some more red paper and burnt paper in the shop, and after we go back, I’ll write the spring couplets and you’ll seal the money, which could save us some silver.”

Sealing money refers to the practice in old times of imprinting the design of burnt paper onto paper money using a tool.

“All right, I’ll get it and then settle the accounts.”

Di Yelei worked quickly, quickly getting enough quantities and paying.

Miao Cuihua, who was standing next to them, squeezed in and said: “Sisi, isn’t this your shop? Why do you still have to pay silver?” It was really hard on her to have waited until now.

The Thin Monkey, who was busily working next to them, glared at her: “If you can’t talk, shut up! No one thinks you are mute!”

“You? Eh… I say, have you eaten bear’s heart and leopard’s gall or what? You…” Miao Cuihua, regardless of the customers in the shop, was about to start cursing with a raised voice.

Liu Sisi next to them couldn’t help but reprimand: “Shut up! This is a shop, if you two, husband and wife, want to quarrel, go home and do it. If it’s not enough, you don’t have to come after the New Year!”

This person was really good at taking advantage of the situation. The more you gave in to her, the more vainglorious she became.

When Miao Cuihua heard these words, and realized things were about to go south, she immediately moved closer with a smiling face. “Sisi, don’t be mad at me. I, Miao Cuihua, naturally have a loud voice. I’m not arguing with the Thin Monkey. Thin Monkey, you’re not dead, you know how to speak, don’t you?”

When the Thin Monkey heard that his job was at stake, he hurriedly came over and chimed in: “Yes, yes, Sisi, you know what Cuihua’s personality is like… she’s just not worth fussing over.”

Well! It turned out that I was meant to be the bad guy!

Liu Sisi simply played the villain to the very end: “This shop belongs to Brother Nan, and I only hold a small share. If you don’t learn to watch your mouth, I will directly fine the Thin Monkey by deducting it from his wages!”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ve remembered! It’s just my mouth, inviting trouble! Inviting trouble!”

Miao Cuihua pretended to slap herself twice, giggling foolishly.

In her heart, however, she truly regarded Liu Sisi for the first time. It was only now that she noticed that the seemingly harmless girl could be terrifying, she was indeed frightening!
