After the marriage was broken off, the whole village next door regretted it

Chapter 199 The illness comes like a mountain

After talking about the medicine, Su Tai pointed to another bundle and said, "This contains the bread and cakes I prepared. They can be kept for seven or eight days, which is enough for you to use as dry food on the road, and they won't choke your throat.

I feel more at ease knowing that you have a weapon for self-defense. Please take good care of my father. He can't even remember who he is after being praised a few times."

Shen Yi wanted to laugh when he heard this, "My father-in-law is quite a thinker. Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

After the two finished talking, Shen Yi took his things and went out. He still had two hundred taels of silver for emergencies, and there was also a batch of brown sugar on the ox cart. He could accomplish a lot of things on this trip.

Su Tai took the child and sent Shen Yi out of the village before returning.

Shen Yi and Su Chunlin kept rushing all the way and finally arrived at Zhaohua County when it was almost dark.

Su Chunlin didn't want to say anything about his complaints. He only asked the question in his mind after entering the inn, "What on earth did you put on that ox cart? The ox can hardly move! Don't you have any compassion for the animal?"

They could have arrived more than an hour earlier today, but because Shen Yi's ox cart was not moving fast enough, they were almost blocked outside the county town.

Shen Yi leaned over and whispered to Su Chunlin, "I got a large cart of brown sugar out. I'll sell some of it in the county town tomorrow morning, and then go to the prefectural city."

"What? You even made some brown sugar?" Su Chunlin was stunned, then frowned, "This is the Bai family's territory, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Shen Yi didn't care. "What are you afraid of? At the end of last year, Prefect Qin sold a batch of goods, and the Bai family didn't make any moves. They definitely won't think too much about me selling goods now. Besides, we are going to the prefectural capital, what are we afraid of?"

Su Chunlin figured out the key and gave Shen Yi a thumbs up. "You are really getting more and more cunning now. I am not as thoughtful as you. But how much did you bring out?"

"One thousand pounds." Shen Yi showed his big white teeth.

Su Chunlin took a deep breath and felt full of pity for the Shen family's cows.

In order to sell out the brown sugar as soon as possible, the two got up early, checked out from the innkeeper first, and then asked him if he needed brown sugar.

The shopkeeper didn't expect Shen Yi to have such a good thing, and he immediately became interested, "Yes, yes, yes! But the price is..."

"Sixteen cents." Shen Yi said decisively: "I know that one or two kilograms outside is eighteen cents. If you buy a lot, I can give you a discount of two cents."

The shopkeeper hurried over with Shen Yi to check out the goods. He was really satisfied with Shen Yi's brown sugar, but he was also really stingy. The two bargained for a long time and finally settled on a deal of fifteen cents per ounce.

The shopkeeper bought 200 kilograms by himself, and no one knew what he was going to do with it.

Shen Yi took the money and immediately drove the ox cart to a dim sum shop.

The snack shops need a lot of sugar, but the price of brown sugar is too high, so the prices of all snacks in the shops that use brown sugar are particularly high.

When the shopkeeper learned that Shen Yi could sell high-quality, low-priced brown sugar, how could he miss this opportunity?

He ordered five hundred kilograms immediately.

Something like brown sugar can be kept for a long time as long as it is stored properly. If you don’t stock up more this time, where will you find it next time?

Because Shen Yi's brown sugar is of high quality, the shopkeeper has been trying to find out more about him in a roundabout way.

Shen Yi only said that they were going back to the provincial capital and didn't say anything else.

The shopkeeper really couldn't get the answer so he had to give up.

There were still 300 kilograms of brown sugar left. The two of them went to the streets to shout out for it. At the price of 15 cents, everyone wanted to buy some. Some bought one or two kilograms, some bought two or three kilograms. It was sold out in less than half an hour.

It was just past mid-morning and the streets were beginning to become lively.

The two bought two bowls of steaming noodle dumpling soup to warm their stomachs and set off.

But in just one morning, Shen Yi earned another 150 taels. Su Chunlin really admired his ability to make money. He felt very happy. He thought that his son-in-law was capable, and his daughter's life would be prosperous, and he, the father-in-law, would also benefit from it.

Bai Feng didn't receive the news until they left Zhaohua County. He immediately got down from his concubine's bed and asked, "You said there were two people selling brown sugar this time, and they went to the capital?"

The steward nodded respectfully, "This is what I heard, but the accents of those two people don't sound like those from the city. I don't know if they are really going to the city or just bluffing!"

A dark light flashed in Bai Feng's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly. "Let's take another gamble. If I still get nothing this time, I'll consider myself unlucky! Send someone to guard the entrance and exit of the county town, and pay close attention in the next two days to see if those two people show up."

The steward responded and left.

As for Shen Yi, after two days of travel, they finally arrived at the provincial capital.

Looking at the towering city wall, Su Chunlin felt terrified, "Shen Yi! Can we really get in?"

Shen Yi came back to his senses and nodded slightly, "Father-in-law, look at those people, it shouldn't be a problem for us to follow them."

"Oh, that's right! We haven't done anything illegal, so what should we be afraid of!" Su Chunlin encouraged himself and drove the ox cart into the crowd.

Soon the two of them entered Lizhou City.

Su Chunlin followed the directions Su Chuan gave him and asked his way to the place he had been looking for, and finally entered a crowded alley.

Can you still see children running out of the alley, laughing and playing?

Su Chunlin handed the ox cart to Shen Yi and went in himself.

After a while, he came over with Su Chunsen and Su Chuan.

Shen Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Chunsen frowned when he saw that they brought a bunch of things with them, "What are you doing here?"

Su Chunlin grinned, "Of course I came to see you! Look, I brought you a lot of food!"

Su Chunsen held his forehead helplessly, "The city has everything, aren't you guys messing around?"

Wan came in with tea and said, "Achuan's father, please stop talking. It's rare for my brother-in-law and Shen Yi to come here, so we have to entertain them well. However, Kang Cheng has been sick these past two days, so I have to help Yunyun take care of the child. I'm afraid I can't take care of you guys."

When Su Chunlin heard this, he immediately became concerned, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Wan sighed, "The child is usually in good health, but every time she gets sick, it's very serious. She's had a fever for two days and it won't go down. Yunyun has cried secretly several times. I don't know what to do."

"Go find a doctor quickly!" Su Chunlin got angry when he heard this.

Su Chunsen looked tense and said, "We have looked for the doctor three times and given him medicine, but the fever won't go away. You know how important this child is. We must not let him get confused by the fever."

Su Chunlin was now extremely anxious.

Seeing this, Shen Yi quickly opened his bag and said, "When I went out, Xiao Tai prepared some medicine for me. One of them is for headaches and fever. I wonder if the child can take it."

"What medicine?" Everyone came over anxiously.

When Shen Yi opened the medicine bottle and took out a large white pill from it, everyone was stunned.
