Chapter 219: 219 seems to have heard Chapter 219: 219 seems to have heard “Shop assistant, please grab these clothes for me, and this one, this one…” Ye Jiu picked out three sets, in three different colors, then selected a few for herself, but those were men’s clothing.

She deeply understood that, in this era, men had an easier time getting things done than women. Otherwise, just seeing her as a girl, people wouldn’t even think of speaking to her.

It was only after she had made her selections that Ye Jiu remembered that her family was still wearing their old clothes from before. Even though they now had money, no one had thought to buy new clothes.

Thus, she also picked out several bolts of fabric suitable for her family to wear, all fine cotton, comfortable to wear and not too extravagant for a peasant household.

After making all her choices, Ye Jiu asked, “How much silver for these?”

The shopkeeper had been quickly working on his abacus, “Altogether fifty-two taels and three coins. You’re buying a lot, little girl. I’ll waive the three coins, just give me fifty-two taels.”

Ye Jiu couldn’t help but click her tongue, it was indeed quite expensive.

However, it was the ready-made clothes she prepared for herself that were comparatively pricey, the ones she bought for herself and her family were not as good.

“Shopkeeper, since I’m buying so much, why don’t you just give me those scraps of cloth down there?” Ye Jiu pointed to several large bundles of cloth scraps beneath her feet.

“Alright, if you want them, take them all,” the shopkeeper agreed readily.

They were just scraps left over from tailoring, and she was a major customer. The shop had certainly made a good profit from her purchases today, and it’s rare to find someone who doesn’t bargain; giving away some extra scraps wouldn’t be a loss.

“Then thank you, shopkeeper.” Ye Jiu paid the money and moved her goods to the doorway, seizing the moment to store the clothes for the checkup directly into her space. Then she sat on the cloth scraps and waited for Old Man Ye to come back.

Suddenly, her gaze swept across and Ye Jiu saw two familiar figures.

But those two figures looked somewhat disheveled, spirits downcast, their faces even appeared darker from the sun, especially the stubble on their chins, which had grown long without being shaved.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, I’m right here…” Ye Jiu ran towards Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui in the middle of the street.

“Big brother, did you hear Little Sister’s voice?” Ye Gaoshui rubbed his ears and asked Ye Gaoshi suspiciously.

In this time period, due to searching for people, he often heard such hallucinations, but whenever he turned around, there would be no one calling him.

Thus, he was suspicious.

“I…I think I heard it too?” Ye Gaoshi responded.

Then, the two turned around and indeed saw a lean, dark figure running towards them.

“Is this Little Sister?” Ye Gaoshi hesitated to recognize her, for the girl was drastically different from his own little sister.

Although Little Sister was also dark and not very pretty in the past, she was plump, while the girl before them was as thin as a stick, which is why he was hesitant to recognize her.

Similarly, Ye Gaoshui was thinking the same thing.

It wasn’t until Ye Jiu ran to their side and stopped, calling out, “Big Brother, Second Brother, how come you are here?”

Only then did Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui confirm that the person before them was indeed the little sister they had been searching for, for months.

Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui looked at each other, both uncontrollably joyful.

The two had initially gone separately to search for her. They hadn’t found her and had returned once already, by then they had already harbored some thoughts.

Little Sister had been lost for so long, they couldn’t find her. Even if she hadn’t met with harm, they had no idea where she might have been sold. The world is vast, searching for one person is like searching for a needle in a haystack, how could it be easy?
