Early the next morning, her mother took her little girl, and the two of them set off for the county town to sell their goods, each with a wicker basket strapped to their back.
Originally, Yuan Si had offered to go by herself. That way, she could put the goods in her interdimensional space on the journey, which would be much easier. However, her mother worried that her daughter was too young and, not having gone to school, would make mistakes with the math. Besides, no matter how capable her daughter was, she was still a child. It was better for an adult to be the one selling things. Yuan Si couldn't exactly tell her mother she was already an adult who knew her arithmetic, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring her along.
Just as the two of them left their house and turned onto the main road at the village entrance, they saw a young man walking toward them. At first, Yuan Si didn't pay him any mind, but as he drew closer, she felt his hostile gaze.
