Family Ye's Older Daughter

The warm and beautiful golden rays of the setting sun scattered on Qi Mo's face and on the old man who was carrying the ox-cart on the road. The road was winding and their bodies swayed regularly as the ox-cart moved forward.

Her lips constantly curled upwards as her fervent gaze swept over the large and small bags of spoils on the oxcart again and again. She thought back to what she had experienced in Wutong Town and sighed with emotion, "As expected, the person who has made preparations will definitely be the luckiest one."

Actually, there was someone who came looking for her to buy the minced blue that even Hundred Herb Hall didn't want. It wasn't that there wasn't any doubt in Qi Mu's heart, she didn't know who that person was, but she clearly knew that person not only knew of the minced blue existence, but had definitely also seen her before.

The last time she went up the mountain, she fell off a cliff. The first time she found the blue one, Qi Mu had used his fingertip to gently stroke the scar on her left cheek. Why was there a minced blue in his hand?

Why did he keep staring at her face? Showing such a pitiful and sympathetic expression, really...

The attitude of a servant often represented the attitude of his master. She only knew that that person meant no harm and that he even had the heart to help her. That was enough. No matter how many there were, she was powerless to investigate …

Relying on that five taels of silver, she bought a candied fruit. Not a single candied fruit, but an entire twenty candied fruits!

At that time, the old granny who bought the candied fruits saw that the sky had gradually darkened while her candied fruits had only been sold for less than half of their total amount.

"Do you want me to buy a stick of candied fruits? I've been making candied fruits for decades, and I'm the sweetest one in this town. Buy a bunch? "

Unfortunately, sometimes, the more one sold something, the more unwilling people were to do so, and perhaps, the more they felt in their hearts, the more they loathed it …

They were all people that struggled to make a living. If they could help, then help out, so be it. He walked forward and bought all of the remaining candied fruits that the old granny had left.

When Qi Mu wanted to pay the old granny twenty copper coins, the old lady actually shook her head. With a grateful and apologetic expression, she said:

"Little girl, you bought so much, I can't accept this amount of money from you. Just give me eighteen copper coins, and the remaining two will be my treat."

"Nanny, no need. My family has a lot of siblings, so these twenty candied fruits might not even make it past tonight. If my parents knew that I didn't pay, they would definitely break my legs when I returned!" Grandma, you should just take her in! "

Qi Mu smiled as he rejected her offer. Originally, he wanted to help her out, but how could he not pay up. He said this simply because he wanted his mother-in-law to feel more at ease after receiving the money.

After that, he went to the butcher's shop to buy five catties of pork, three pots of 'burning knives' at the wine shop, three or four pieces of good cotton cloth at the cloth shop to make clothes for his cheap parents, and along the way, he bought a large bamboo basket that was about the same size as the one his grandfather and grandson were selling, but with a tougher update …

In short, he really did return with a great harvest this time. If he had to drag so many things by himself and let Qi Mu slowly walk back, as someone with money in her pockets and someone who didn't panic, she would definitely, absolutely, be unwilling!

Thus, on the way back, Qi Mu hired an ox-cart with fifty copper coins. This was definitely the highest price he could pay. Firstly, it was dark, secondly, it was far, and thirdly, it was not a good road … Niu Zhuang was a remote place in the mountains that no one else wanted to be.

"Here, it's dark now. Grandpa, be careful. Let's go."

After he paid the money, he bid farewell to the old grandpa who was driving the oxcart.

"Okay, little girl. If you still want to go up to town next time, remember to ask me to pull you!"

After receiving the money, the old grandpa didn't forget to pull the next business opportunity with a smile. Pulling this little girl over was the best he could earn in the next few days!

"Alright, next time you have to make it cheaper for me. Otherwise, I might only be able to travel half the way. I'll have to get out of the car and leave by myself!"

As Qi Mu tidied up the items and put them in the basket, he joked.

"Alright!"

The old grandpa who was driving the carriage left on his original route. Qi Mu also carried his heavy basket and headed home.

Before he even entered the house, a familiar voice could be heard.

"Mu Er, Mu Er, you're finally back!"

"Big sister, Yang Yang has been waiting for you. Why did you come back so late? You've made us all very worried!"

"..."

"I'm back."

His eyes were like water, no longer at the Wutong Town. The deepest part of his eyes could not shake off his caution and restraint, he took off his hypocritical and polite mask, and only had the warmest and truest heart, as he softly spoke.

He went home. In that instant, he felt the weight on his body, his exhaustion, and his tears falling into the alleyway … It's not important, it's not important!

This moment was precious, not even exchanging a thousand gold coins!

Ye Dazhuang, as a man of his family, quickly stepped forward. He wanted to help Qimu remove the basket. Seeing his daughter's frail and frail body carrying a big basket on her back, he, as a father, felt bad too.

When he took it, he realized that the basket wasn't his own. Furthermore, it wasn't light at all. Even though it was dark outside, he could tell that there were quite a few things he could see just by touching it.

Immediately, he put down the basket on his back and hastily turned his head. He looked somewhat anxiously at Qi Mu, who was being surrounded by Yang Yang and Yang Li.

"Mu Er, what is this?" What's going on? "

Ye Dazhuang was really afraid that something would happen.

Qi Mu hugged Yang Yang affectionately and laughed. Hearing Ye Dazhuang's tone, she knew what he was worried about. Wasn't he afraid that she would be tricked for not knowing the origins of these things?

"Dad, I bought all these things. Have you forgotten about the grass I picked on the mountain?"

"You bought it? Buying so much?! "

He believed in his daughter. Since his daughter had said so, he naturally would not doubt her. Then, he murmured to himself:

"I didn't expect that grass was so valuable. My daughter is really quick-witted …"

When Qi Mu heard this, he found it funny. A trace of craftiness flashed through his eyes. With a slight smirk, he mischievously said:

"Am I usually a fool? Is dad hating me? "

"No, no, no. Mu Er is the best child …"

Ye Dazhuang shook his head, afraid that Qi Mu would be angered.

"What about me?"

Yang Yang was a small child, and also blinked his large watery eyes, looking at his sister and then looking at his father, with a "I'm waiting for you to praise me" expression, he asked in a tender voice.

"..."

The family stood outside the house and chatted and joked about for a while. On the other hand, Yang Lili had a serious expression on her face as she pushed her way into the house and said:

"Alright, alright! Mu Er hadn't returned since entering the house, so how long would she have to wait outside? Are we not eating here today? "

Everyone responded with a smile and entered the house one by one. Ye Dazhuang also walked in with a big basket in his hands. Once he entered, the candlelight shone on him and Yang Yang immediately widened his eyes.

"It's a candied fruit, a candied fruit! So many candied fruits! "Cucurbit …"
