"The rich wine and meat smells bad, and there are people freezing to death on the road. I'm afraid that if we continue to be extravagant like this, the world will be in chaos." The thin merchant sighed.

The fat merchant hurriedly waved his hand and told the thin merchant not to say such things, lest others would hear him and cause trouble.

Although they didn't talk anymore, An Ran had a preliminary understanding of the current imperial court based on what he had heard several times before.

It is said that the emperor favored a pair of sisters, and the sisters' natal families became extremely powerful and lived a luxurious life, which led to the development of luxury in the capital.

The people were also envious and jealous, wishing they could have a few powerful girls in their family and marry the emperor or powerful people, so that they could become famous and prosperous.

After listening to these words, An Ran thought to himself, just like what the thin merchant said, this world is probably going to be chaotic. Even if it is not chaotic for the time being, if there are no experts, the imperial court will not be able to sustain a hundred at most. Year.

This is a historical rule. When a dynasty becomes more and more extravagant, it often reaches its peak and then begins to decline.

Once the world is in chaos, the life of the people will definitely be bad. Sometimes the chaos is too severe, even if the original place is a small mountain village, it will be affected. After all, the people will suffer when they prosper, and when they die, the people will suffer.

But Enron is just a small person, and his mission in this world is not to save the imperial court that is about to collapse, so Enron will not meddle in other people's business and only do his own thing.

At that moment, An Ran heard a lot of gossip and rested with her daughter, so she wandered back with Xiaoya.

There are two roads from the town back to the village, one is a slightly larger road, coming in from the front village entrance, and the other is a road in the back mountain, coming in from the back mountain, the road is smaller and steeper.

Walking in front, to the place where An Ran lives, she has to pass through all parts of the village. She will have to be asked about what she bought by then. She will also have to disperse when she sees familiar people. When she gets home, there may not be much left. , and she went to the town just to buy some food and drink to save for later. She was stupid and was willing to waste her money and go all the way in vain.

So An Ran took the road at the back of the mountain. Although the road was a bit difficult to walk, there was no one around and it was convenient. Moreover, for her, the difficulty of walking was not a problem at all. Even if the child was tired from walking and needed a hug, it didn't matter. The problem is, after all, I have practiced martial arts for such a long time, and I still have the strength to hold a child.

Finally, when we arrived at the door of the house, we met someone - it was Sister-in-law Li, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family.

An Ran looked at it and couldn't help but frown secretly.

Whether it's the Li family or the Chen family, there is only one theme, and that is to suck blood.

Speaking of which, these two families are embarrassed. They suck the blood of orphans and widowed mothers. There is no one in the countryside more shameless than them. For example, Liu Laosan's family. When Liu Laosan died, the Liu family took Liu Laosan's wife and son back to take care of them. , they did not leave their orphans and widowed mothers living outside, struggling to survive. They would not be like the Chen family and the Li family, who not only failed to take care of their orphans and widowed mothers, but also came to suck their blood.

Thinking of this, An Ran asked Xiaoya to wait aside, then An Ran went around to the back of the house, put the things on the windowsill of the window behind the house, holding only a little oil and salt in his hand, and then turned to the front, taking Xiaoya with him. Rush home.

When Aunt Li saw An Ran coming, she said, "I said I knocked on the door, but no one answered. Have you gone to town?"

An Ran nodded and remained silent. The enemy was immobile, but I was immobile to see what the other party was going to say.

Sister-in-law Li didn't care when An Ran remained silent. She just stared at An Ran's bag and said, "What did you buy?"

People in this era like to carry a basket wherever they go, but the basket takes up space, so An Ran used cloth to make a carrying bag. It is much more convenient to put things in it when shopping, and it does not take up space. There are many in the village. When people saw the bags she made, they also made a lot of them.

An Ran opened the bag and showed it to her and said, "There is no oil or salt. I bought some oil and salt."

This stuff is a condiment. An Ran thought it should be relatively safe, so she kept some in the bag.

But that's it, I didn't put too much in it, for fear that Sister-in-law Li would be too ambitious and would even ask for oil and salt.

But now, she only puts the small jar of oil and salt that the oil merchant and salt merchant installed for her outside, so Sister-in-law Li wouldn't want it, right?

As a result, she still underestimated human nature. At that moment, Sister-in-law Li saw that the oil and salt An Ran bought was much better than that from the Li family. The salt she bought was snowflake salt, unlike the yellow coarse salt that the Li family bought, which had a bitter taste when cooking; The oil was also clear and clear, unlike the cheapest oil bought by the Li family, which was very turbid. He immediately felt hot and said, "Mom and dad are out of oil and salt. You have so much, give half of it to mom and dad. Anyway, There are only two of you, so it won’t take much.”

An Ran put the bag in her arms and said coldly: "You seem to be quite filial, so go to the town to buy it. You are not filial as a sister-in-law, but you want me, a widowed brother and sister who has lost her husband, to be filial. How do you look on your face?" So big?"

Father Chen, mother Chen, father Li, and mother Li are the elders of the original body. She is too lazy to pay attention to them and will not give them face. What's more, what qualifications does a commoner like Mrs. Li have to ask her for this or that? An Ran naturally does it mercilessly. Fight her.

After hearing this, Sister Li couldn't help but said: "Don't I have no money? You have money, shouldn't you respect your parents-in-law? Besides, our family is not divided. Logically, all the money you earn should belong to the public. In this way First of all, the things you bought with money should have been kept in the public school for everyone to use together. Why do you ask me to ask you, a widowed brother and sister, to be filial? After all, why should the money earned by the rest of us have to be turned over to the public school, and you don’t? ?! That’s not fair!”

The more Mrs. Li talked, the more she felt that what she said was reasonable. Her voice became louder, and she even felt aggrieved. She felt that her family was so pitiful. All the money she earned was given to the old couple, so why should Chen Anran not have to pay it.

An Ran said coldly: "Who asked my father-in-law and mother-in-law to kick me out? I have been kicked out by them, why should I hand over the money to you? Why do you think so beautifully? If you are willing, I can do it Go back and live there, and the money you earn can be paid to the public school."

But she knew that Mrs. Li and the others would not dare to let her go back. After all, her original husband had died a violent death, and they were afraid of her to death.

Even if it was for money, and she was really not afraid, she would let those kind-hearted ghosts cause trouble, scare them to death, and then drive her out.

Sure enough, after An Ran said this, Mrs. Li didn't dare to agree. After all, An Ran's husband was dead and they were scared to death. Who dared to live with her anymore, so she immediately said: "Who makes you an unlucky person? There's nothing you can do about it, but it's your own business. How can you not hand over the money you earn to the public for your own reasons?"
