This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

One hundred and fifty copper coins, Bi Qiao didn't have that much on him.

She took out everything in her pocket, and after counting, she only found about fifty coins. "I don't have that much with me. I'll give you the rest tomorrow."

Hu Ya had no objection.

He also knew that no one would go out with so many copper coins.

In fact, if it weren't for Sister Bi Qiao's initial words, he would not have planned to take out fifty baskets of bayberries at once.

He knew how many days the bayberry could be stored.

I plan to give Sister Bi Qiao as much as she wants and sell it slowly.

Hu Ya asked: "Sister Bi Qiao, whenever you want bayberries again, just tell me and I will pick them for you."

Bi Qiao glanced at him, a little surprised.

In fact, if he didn't say this, she would also say it. Fifty baskets of bayberries are too many and they will definitely not be finished in a short time.

She was still thinking that if Hu Ya brought fifty more baskets tomorrow, she would really not be able to eat them.

Unexpectedly, Hu Ya already knew it before she said anything.

They agreed to send the remaining bayberries directly to Su's house, and the two of them left separately.

The person who brought Yangmei was not Hu Ya, but other children. Those children were from needy households in the village. If they hadn't relied on the village's constant relief, they might not be alive now.

Mr. Su had no objection to Bi Qiao asking them to pick bayberries.

He even asked the old woman to settle the bill.

However, the money was obtained from two baskets of three pennies from a child, and she had to make up the difference from Hu Ya's price.

What if it’s not enough?

Bi Qiao found Su Lin and said, "Lend me some money."

Su Lin dug into his pocket and took out four cents for a long time, "I'll lend it all to you."

Bi Qiao looked in disbelief, "That's it?"

Su Lin shrugged his shoulders.

Just these four coins are still left over after eating two meat buns.

Bi Qiao said "tsk tsk" twice, "You really embarrass the time-travelers."

Su Lin did not deny the statement of the 'time traveler', and said to her: "Can you take out four coins now?"

"..." Bi Qiao was now even poorer than Su Lin and scratched his head, "I'm still short of twenty cents, and I have to give it to Hu Ya tomorrow."

It's not that you can't reach out to Mr. Su.

But once he reached out, he would always ask why, and it was difficult to explain what happened to Hu Ya.

From the outside, Hu Ya doesn't need sympathy.

When Yin Huan picked him up, he could be regarded as "rich". Many people in the village said that the Yin family had made a fortune because they saw that she still had spare money to raise the child she picked up.

Children who are struggling to survive in the village can be taken care of, but there is really no need for such 'rich' ones.

Especially at three cents for ten pounds, at this price, the Su family would rather spend their time and energy picking it instead of spending money to buy it.

But if she couldn't get the money from Mr. Su, how could she give Hu Ya money?

"Wait a moment and I'll think of something." Su Lin said and went to the back room.

After a while, he walked out with thirty copper coins and said, "Remember to pay back the money."

"You got it from dad?" Bi Qiao was a little surprised.

Su Jianyi must have some private money in his hands, even more than she imagined, but what she didn't expect was that Su Lin could actually plunder it from him, which was considered a skill.

Su Lin nodded.

But he thought in his heart that after the first time, there will be a second time, and he will definitely come up with various ways to make money from Su Jianyi.

Before, I worked as a son for my father to take the imperial examination.

Now it is only natural for a father to spend money on his son.

With the bayberry sent by Hu Ya.

Bi Qiao decided to be bolder.

She made bayberry cakes from half of the bayberries at one time and piled them into several bamboo baskets, a total of two or three and a half people high.

"With so many, can it really be sold?"

Aunt Su Er, who was standing in front of the door, looked at the few people leaving with bamboo baskets on their backs and couldn't help but feel worried.

Although the cost is not much, it would be a pity if it was really wasted.

"It's okay if you can't sell it. The worst thing you can do is eat it yourself." Jia was not worried at all and even wished there were some left.

Aunt Su on the side gave her a blank look and didn't even bother to talk to her.

However, I was busy making bayberry cakes before, so I didn’t listen to Jia’s gossip.

Now that I had some free time, I couldn't help but get curious, "What on earth were you talking about yesterday? Could it be that Yin Huan really tricked a child into coming back?"

"No way. Why is Yin Huan so stubborn? She tricked a child into raising her for no reason. Isn't it too much money?"

Jia shook her head, "I don't know what she thinks, but the child really wants to go home."

When leaving the village chief's house yesterday, Zhu Si gave her the cakes he brought with him in order to thank her.

Incredibly delicious.

I was still thinking about it when I was dreaming last night.

Zhu Si really wanted to go back to the Zhou family.

She is still young, but after a series of events, she completely knows that she is not Yin Huan's biological sister at all.

The Yin family has no little daughter at all.

Yin Huan used a lot of lies to deceive her from the Zhou family, which made her particularly uneasy and just wanted to leave immediately.

"Village Chief, I have already explained that although I told some lies, all I did was to wish Sihao good luck."

Yin Huan was a little irritable.

She came over yesterday to explain, but the village chief refused to let her take Zhu Si back at all.

As a result, she had to give up making money, and went to the village chief's house early in the morning to explain.

"Look at the things I bought for her. If it wasn't for her own good, why did I spend so much money?"

When I came here, I specially brought Zhu Si's things.

Just to prove myself.

Not to mention, Yin Huan is indeed a person who is willing to spend money.

There are two or three sets of brand-new clothes, all made of good materials, as well as shoes and socks, and there are several headbands that the girl likes.

Other female dolls in the village are not treated so well.

But just like this, it felt even more strange. Village Chief Su said to her with a dark face, "Then you can't tell lies to trick people into coming here."

"Don't I think Zhu Si is pitiful? How can he live a good life in a foster home? What if the Zhou family has another son and a half daughter? Will Zhu Si still have a good life?"

Village Chief Su really felt that Yin Huan was a bit messy.

There are so many poor children in the world. Is it possible that because they are pitiful, they have to be deceived and raised by themselves?

Let’s not talk about whether Zhu Si’s original life was miserable or not.

What Yin Huan did is no different from abducting a child. If this matter really spreads, their entire village will be implicated, "I don't care what you think, you must send this child back to me."

"No." Yin Huan refused without thinking. She finally brought back the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, so how could she send her back? "I gave fifty taels of silver to the Zhou family, so I treat it as the Zhou family's. If someone sells it to me, I will never send it back.”

"Fifty taels of silver?"

"You spent fifty taels on a child?"

"Is there something wrong with Yin Huan? She spends fifty taels for a child for no reason?"

"Is it possible that the child really has something to do with Yin Huan?"

A lot of people gathered outside the village chief's house to join in the fun. At first, they didn't want to join in. They just wanted to listen to the fun.

As a result, Yin Huan's words completely blew them away.

Don't blame them for making such a fuss.

Fifty taels of silver!

These days, a family can barely earn two or three taels of silver throughout the year. Fifty taels of silver can allow a family to live for many, many years.

You can even build a brick house.

Yin Huan spent so much money just to bring a child back. Most people really don't believe it if there is no relationship between them.

Said Zhu Si was too pitiful.

But even if they are pitiful, they are still from the city.

Can it be compared to the fatherless and motherless orphans in their village? It was really a waste of time, and it was the orphan's luck to survive all these years.

If Yin Huan is really a kind-hearted person.

Why did you leave the people in the village alone and not provide relief, but instead went all the way to the city to pick them up?

In other words, there are so many poor children, why is Zhu Si the only one?

There is definitely something they can't think of.

"Is it so profitable to sell pastries?"

"Dad Yin Huan really never left a son or a half of his daughter outside?"

"What are you thinking about? The age doesn't match up. Yin Huan's father has passed away a long time ago. How can it be possible to give birth to a five-year-old child?"

"Didn't she just say that the Zhou family also adopted Zhu Si? Is there something wrong with Zhu Si's identity?"

The person next to him laughed, "It's really possible. Maybe Zhu Si is the lost daughter of a wealthy family. Yin Huan brought her back and waited for her to repay her kindness."

The person who said this must not have taken it seriously and was just joking.

But just saying this frightened Yin Huan to death, and she quickly denied it, "Of course not. What good status can an abandoned son who no one wants have a good status? If he didn't pity her, who would care about her?"

Perhaps because of his guilty conscience, he spoke very loudly.

Zhu Si, who was staying in the room, could hear it clearly, and his face turned red from suppressing it.

She is an abandoned child, but it is not that no one wants her. Her parents are very good to her. Yin Huan tricked her here for no reason, otherwise there would be people willing to take care of her.

Zhu Si is still young and doesn't quite understand what it's like to hate someone.

But now she really hated Yin Huan so much that she wanted to pounce on him and take a few bites.

Clenching her fists, Zhu Si pushed the door open, holding her breath and yelling: "My mother planned to give me the money to protect myself, but I secretly kept it for them. They didn't sell me for the money. It was you who told me about the birthmark on my body and confirmed that I was your biological sister. My parents thought you were my relative, so they allowed you to take me home."

The little girl stood up bravely for the first time.

By the time he finished speaking, his face was already red from holding back.

She couldn't even remember what she said, but she knew that if she didn't say something, she might not be able to go back.

And Zhu Si didn't notice that she made an important point.

"How do you know the birthmark on her body?" Village Chief Su looked suspicious.

"...I, I just heard it casually." Yin Huan lowered her head, not daring to let others see her panic expression.

"How can I just listen to it casually?"

"Except for family members who know such a private matter, who would tell it outside?"

"I guess Yin Huan must have something in mind."

"Speaking of which, Yin Huan was doing business outside during this period. Did she hear something? Could it be that a certain family really lost their daughter and she happened to have a birthmark on her body?"

“I thought it was a joke before, but now I think about it, it’s really possible.”

"Don't talk nonsense, how could this be possible?" Yin Huan shouted loudly.

Suddenly, a voice came, "Is it true? The village chief can go to the Yamen and ask."

It was Bi Qiao who spoke.

It was such a coincidence that the Su family went to the town to do business with baskets on their backs, and happened to pass by the village chief's house and heard such a good show.

Bi Qiao was not afraid of Yin Huan's eyes staring at her, and continued with a smile: "If it is a child from a wealthy family, he should find a way to find someone in various towns, right? Why not trouble the village chief to go there and find out the situation."

Village chief Su was silent.

People in the government office are not easy to deal with. If you want to ask a question, the tribute money for entering the door is not small.

Besides, it's just something that came up in the conversation. You can't take it seriously, right?

"I think it's feasible."

At this time, a young man walked out of the crowd. He was dressed in a farmer's house, but he had the air of a scholar. "If it's not, there's no harm. But if it is, we will suppress this matter. When the truth comes out, I'm afraid someone will vent his anger on the village."

"Brother Yan, why are you here?" Village chief Su took the initiative to greet him.

He might hesitate for a while if it was someone else's words, but Su Boyan was the most knowledgeable person in the village. If there was really a scholar in the village, it would definitely be Su Boyan. He didn't listen to other people's words, but Su Boyan's words still had some weight.

Even if he was just a young man now.

But it is precisely because he is young that he has a long life ahead of him, and sooner or later he will have a day to come out.

Village Chief Su did not hesitate, he nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go to the town now."

As he said that, he called the old woman to his side and whispered a few words in her ear.

After a while, the old woman brought Zhu Si into the house, as if asking something.

Village Chief Su asked about the birthmark on Zhu Si's body.

He did not ask about the specific situation, but just asked Zhu Si to tell him the location roughly, and after asking, he planned to go to the town.

Village Chief Su's decision made Yin Huan completely panic.

Before she crossed into the book, she was an ordinary girl, a child who was spoiled by her parents and had not experienced too many twists and turns.

Because of this scare, many people saw it.

"No way? Is it really what Mrs. Huang said?"

"Looking at Yin Huan's expression, it's really possible."

"This girl is really smart. If she brings the person back, if Zhu Si's family comes to find them, wouldn't they owe Yin Huan a huge favor?"

Yin Huan was still arguing that it was not the case.

But no one listened to her at all, and they all started to talk.

Even when she wasn't paying attention, the village chief disappeared. It was obvious that he really went to the town to inquire about the news.

"Brother Boyan, I really didn't mean that. I just..."

"Don't, if I remember correctly, Yin Huan, you are older than me, right?"

Yin Huan was interrupted by Su Boyan before she finished speaking, "I really don't deserve you to call me brother."

"..."Yin Huan's face flushed with embarrassment.

She really didn't expect that she was older than the male protagonist.

But it's just a little older, so there's no difference.

It's a pity that he can't call him brother in the future.

She was still thinking about complaining to the male lead, but he didn't give her a chance. Just as Yin Huan came back to her senses, Su Boyan was surrounded by a group of women and aunts, and she didn't have a chance to interrupt.

She didn't have time to talk to the male lead. The village chief went to the town, and she didn't know if he would ask anything. If she had known earlier, she would have...

She would have brought him back earlier.

Even if Zhu Si was found by the people in the Marquis' Mansion like this, the Marquis' Mansion would still remember her kindness, right?

The most important thing now is to get along with Zhu Si before the people from the Marquis' Mansion come.

And here.

The Su family has arrived in the town.

They used to set up a stall at the busy alley. The longer they sell, the more repeat customers they will inevitably have. The business in the old place is pretty good.

But at most, they only sell 200 bayberry cakes a day.

They brought so many today, and they definitely can't sell them all just by putting them at the alley.

So Bi Qiao had planned long ago, intending to act separately, "Uncle, you continue to set up a stall in the old place, and second uncle, you go to the east to find a busy street corner. If it doesn't work, just go around the direction of the east and west to sell."

Su Daneng nodded, "What about you? Where do you plan to set up the stall?"

"Each of you take 150 bayberry cakes, and Su Lin and I will take the rest to the dock."

The dock is the best place to sell things.

But from the beginning, Bi Qiao didn't plan to expand her business so much at once.

It was Hu Ya who forced her to work harder.

If she didn't sell so many bayberries quickly, they would go bad.

Su Daneng was a little worried: "There are more than two bamboo baskets left. Can you sell so many at once?"

"Let's try first, and we'll talk if it doesn't work." Bi Qiao said, and called Su Lin to the dock.

Su Lin didn't ask about the business at all.

Because his idea was the same as Bi Qiao's.

The town was so small, and there were many rich families, but they were definitely not many. Not every household could afford to eat cakes every day.

But the dock is different.

There are ship merchants passing by the dock every day. These merchants have a lot of money in their hands and have the vision to find ways to make money.

They took so many bayberry cakes, and they didn't plan to sell them retail from the beginning.

Bayberry cakes can't be stored for too long, but it's okay to keep them for a few days.

After staying at the dock of the town, the ship merchants will go into the sea along the river to the surrounding coastal towns. Some will pass through several towns along the way. As long as they want, they can definitely sell the bayberry cakes.

However, most ship merchants look down on this kind of small business.

After they arrived at the dock, they didn’t sell every boat, so they had to look for it first.

The two of them had just arrived at the dock when Village Chief Su also walked to the front of the government office. Looking at the majestic gate, he began to tremble and didn’t have the courage to take a step forward.

This, should we go in?
