After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 200: Freeloading?

"So they made this self-heating rice. Whatever, let's find a place ourselves."

Fang Tong drove the ox cart, turned the ox's face towards the wall, found a deserted place, took out the cake, put it directly on the cart, and started shouting.

Not only cakes, they also brought sugar-roasted chestnuts. There are not only candidates around here, but also family members or servants who came with the candidates. They sell everything they can!

"It's cake, fresh cake, just out of the oven this morning!"

The county's restaurants and teahouses have been selling cakes for a long time, and this thing has become quite famous, attracting people immediately.

When I took a closer look, I saw that there were not only the cut ones, but also a small round one with words written on it!

"This cake has 'Successful Success' written on it! It's a good start for everyone, so everyone can share in the joy!"

It's not uncommon for ordinary people to see food with words written on it, but it's rare, especially when it's so appropriate for the occasion and sold during the provincial examination, it's something everyone finds very curious.

"Give me two small ones!"

"How much is this writing? I'll take a piece!"

"Give me a big one!"

Before he had shouted for long, a long line had formed in front of the ox cart. Fang Nanzhi also helped to collect money and pack cakes, and was very busy.

The bustle of this stall makes one jealous, but it’s not surprising once you know what they are selling.

As for cakes and sugar-roasted chestnuts, these two things are good things in their county town and many people like them. Even if you have never eaten them, you have heard of them.

However, no one thought that this ordinary-looking father and daughter were the producers of these two foods. They just thought they were one of the sellers. Some people were curious about where they got them, but no one asked, thinking that it was their ability to make money and they would not tell.

There are a lot of people near the examination hall today. Even the county yamen runners are all present today, either patrolling nearby or taking turns guarding the door.

"We sold quite a lot. Fortunately, we bought an ox cart that can pull so much here. Otherwise, it would be so painful to just watch people not make any money."

Fang Tong leaned against the shaft of the cart, feeling very happy, thinking that this business was getting more and more successful.

Fang Nanzhi was a little tired from the busy work. She sat on the ox cart and was about to lean over to take a nap when she saw He and Fang Qingya coming over. She hurriedly tugged at her father's clothes.

Fang Tong saw that He was walking in front and was obviously coming for them. He knew at a glance that she was up to no good!

He walked around the shaft of the cart and thought that He was seeing them coming to do business and was going to use the same old Fang family tricks. Unexpectedly, He came over and reached out to take the leftover cakes on their counter.

"Hey!"

Fang Tong was startled and quickly stopped him. This guy didn't even say hello and even robbed him?

"What are you doing? Isn't this the cake from your house? Take one and try it!"

Fang Tong was speechless and rolled his eyes: "Then why don't you just pay? What's the point of just reaching out?"

He curled her lips and said, "Oh, I have to pay for your food. This is the first time I've heard of a family paying for food!"

"Don't try to get too close. We're not even a family. Does your man know you're talking like that?"

Fang Nanzhi also helped her father in the car: "Who are you and your family? My family has adopted her, and my father has married into the family. We are not even ordinary relatives now."

He ignored the little girl. She had suffered a few losses and knew that she could not beat others in talking, but she had to take advantage of this.

She pushed Fang Tong directly, but when it didn't move, she tried to take it by force. She just couldn't believe it. In broad daylight, how could a grown man dare to bully a woman and a little girl?

If he really dared to do that, she would call someone and say he was a hooligan!

Of course it was not convenient for Fang Tong to take action, as he was a family man. With He's character, who knew what she could do?

But is he someone who can be easily provoked? Don't underestimate him. He hasn't lived in vain for all these years!

He opened his mouth first and started shouting at the top of his voice: "Someone come here! There is a scholar's wife eating here without paying! She is bullying the common people!"

The little girl also shouted: "You are bullying!"

Her voice was louder than her father's, and since she was still a child, everyone around her looked over at once, and people on the street gathered around directly, wanting to see what was going on.

Why are there people who take things without paying?

Scholar’s wife? Whose wife?

These shouts attracted the yamen runners nearby.

"What are you arguing about! Don't you know that today is the provincial exam? What if you disturb the candidates inside? Who is eating for free?"

When He saw the yamen runners coming, she was about to fight with Fang Tong, but the fight ended in an instant. She quickly tried to explain that she didn't do anything.

But suddenly someone among the onlookers recognized her: "Yes, she is! Her husband is a scholar. I came early and saw her escorting people in line!"

Fang Qingya felt that her mother was quite embarrassed and was recognized by others. She quickly took out her private money and paid for the cake that He had just held in her hand during the scuffle.

He was still dissatisfied and grumbled as she was dragged away: "I'm leaving, why are you still giving me money? This is what you have to give, don't ask me for it!"

Fang Qingya glared at her fiercely, "Shut up now! If this gets out of hand, Dad won't let you off!"

"What's so great about that? They're just a bunch of nothing..."

"Mom, stop talking! Besides the small vendors, there are also relatives of scholars here. Maybe there are families of Dad's classmates here. They will be our connections in the future!"

If you embarrass yourself in front of these people, it will be difficult to hold your head up.

He felt a little guilty, but it was only towards Fang Jin. She was mostly angry now.

A little girl was yelling at her?

Seeing them leave in disgrace, the people around them dispersed with contempt on their faces. Some people were curious and came over to buy a small piece of cake to try.

After selling almost all the goods, Fang Tong closed the stall.

"Let's go, your second uncle should be almost done with the acupuncture by now."

When Fang Yin was mentioned, the little girl perked up: "Let's go! Dad, I'm hungry, let's go get some food!"

Finally, the father and son went to Zhou's house carrying buns and sesame cakes.

I didn’t expect it was not over yet. The needle was inserted, but it would take a while to remove it.

Old Zhou looked at Fang Nanzhi running in, with a loving look on his face. He quite liked this little girl.

"Is the little girl here this time?"

"Hello, Grandpa Zhou!" Fang Nanzhi hadn't seen Grandpa Zhou since the first time. She felt that this grandpa was very kind and powerful!

"I heard from your father that you went to study at Songhe Academy?"

"Yes, I go there every day!"

Mr. Zhou asked her what she had learned in the academy. Fang Nanzhi counted on her fingers and named a few books, all of which she had memorized from her teacher.

"Also, I recently started learning chess!"

Seeing her serious look, Mr. Zhou laughed: "Chess? I know a little bit about that. Why don't you play a few games with grandpa?"

Fang Nanzhi is a young and fearless person. She has never beaten the teacher in the academy, so she wants to try playing chess with others!
