Chapter 7 The Town

Wang Chuan wiped the water on his face and said angrily: "You shrew! Our family likes you just to give you face. Your family is now poor and destitute. Don't be shameless."

"Wow!" Another basin of water was poured out, and it happened to be poured on Wang Chuan's body.

"Pfft~ Hahahaha, Brother Wang is so miserable!" A child from an unknown family on the roadside laughed out loud, his childish voice innocent.

"Take a pee and see what you look like!" Qiao Xuan walked out of the door, folded his arms and mocked Wang Chuan.

"She looks pretty ugly but thinks she's pretty!"

Wang Chuan's thin body trembled slightly, which showed that he was angry. Xi Yan came out with a broom and waved it, "Get out! Get out of here!"

Wang Chuan cast a vicious look and ran away. Sooner or later, he would deal with these two shrews.

The spectators dispersed when they saw that there was no more excitement to watch.

Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan returned to the courtyard.

"Why don't we stop living in the village? Let's go to the town and find a job as a maid for a rich family! Food, accommodation and wages will be included." Xi Yan suggested in a low voice as she sat on a stool in frustration.

Qiao Xuan: "..."

"It feels like there are people coming here every day to deliberately make trouble and bully us." Seeing that Qiao Xuan didn't speak, Xi Yan tried to persuade her to change her mind.

Qiao Xuan coughed lightly and cleared his throat, "It's better to say goodbye! I'm used to being free and casual, but I can't live with being ordered around and yelled at."

It's good to be a villager in a small mountain village, she likes it.

"Then what are we going to do? We have to find a way to survive!" Xi Yan sighed helplessly, "Do you have farmland at home?"

Qiao Xuan nodded first and then shook his head, "I have land, but I don't have any seeds."

The original owner had land at home, but in the past he only picked the best piece of land to grow some vegetables.

Xi Yan held her forehead and began to worry about the rest of her life.

"Don't worry! I will take you to make money tomorrow." Qiao Xuan couldn't help but patted Xi Yan's arm and comforted her.

Xi Yan originally didn't believe that Qiao Xuan, a girl younger than herself, could have an idea, but thinking about her ability to talk and talk, she felt that she could trust her.

In the evening, the two picked some vegetables from the garden, cooked a pot of vegetable soup, drank it, and then went to rest.

In the town, under the eaves of a cosmetics shop, Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan closed their umbrellas and stood under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.

"Why can't we change the day? We have to come to town on a rainy day." Xi Yan shook off the water drops on her umbrella and asked in confusion.

Her feet were wet, her shoes were soaked, and Qiao Xuan felt uncomfortable all over. She stamped her feet, "This opportunity must not be missed! If you want to make money, you must come to town today."

It was raining lightly, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The occasional people who passed by were holding umbrellas and running home quickly.

"You two ladies, please come in and take shelter from the rain! It's cold outside."

The proprietress who was about to close the door felt unbearable when she saw Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan at the door, and greeted them with a smile.

Xi Yan looked at Qiao Xuan, who nodded imperceptibly and said with a smile: "Then it will cause trouble for the boss lady!"

The makeup shop is not big, but it is very clean. There is a faint fragrance in the air. The wooden counter is low and low, and people can see the colorful rouge and gouache inside at a glance.

The landlady took out two low stools from the back and said, "Sit anywhere you want!"

Qiao Xuan thanked Xi Yan and sat down.
