The Lucky Farmgirl

As soon as the city gates opened, everyone’s life gradually returned to normal. Although the inspections at the city gates remained stringent, at least vegetables were supplied within the city.

There were no officials setting up posts on the streets, arbitrarily stopping and searching any able-bodied men they saw.

Zhou SiLang waited for another two days, and after confirming he wouldn’t just be arrested walking down the street, he took Zhou Lijun to the market.

Manbao could also occasionally visit the bookstore, and everyone’s busyness returned to the way it had been before.

Zhou SiLang asked Manbao for the money the family had given her, and along with Zhou Lijun, he bought quite a few things in streets and alleys, planning to take them back to Luojiang County to sell.

Mr. Zhuang knew he was heading back and thus wrote a letter, giving him more than half of his silver, entrusting him to deliver it to his son.

Others had things they wanted to send back as well.

Zhou SiLang was used to this by now and simply loaded the goods onto the cart before heading out.

Heading out of the city as soon as the gates opened in the morning, he could just about make it back to Luojiang County by sunset; he delivered Mr. Zhuang’s letter and money to the Zhuang Family overnight, and the next day he wasn’t in a rush to return home but wanted to sell the goods he had on hand first.

This didn’t require much effort on his part; Junior Ms. Qian and Zhou Xi had put down roots in the county town and had met quite a few people, and the goods he brought back, which were mostly bright fabrics, sold quite well.

In just half a day, Zhou SiLang was able to sell all the goods he had brought, and then he prepared to head back home with his cart.
