Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Auntie Zhang

“Here, eat.” Xuexue placed the torn bun into Chuner’s hand.

“Mmm.” Chuner happily accepted it, took a small bite, and then offered it to Xuexue’s lips, “It’s really delicious, sister, you eat too.”

“All right.” Xuexue smiled warmly and bit into the bun as Chuner suggested, chewed a few times, and said in content, “It really is delicious.”

“Right?” Chuner truly felt joyous now, sitting beside Xuexue and enjoying the bun.

“Chuner, sister is full now, I’ll go relieve our mother for a while.” Xuexue quickly stuffed the bun into her mouth and mumbled indistinctly.

Madam Xie had been busy all morning, not only had she skipped breakfast, but she had also not even had water to drink; Xuexue couldn’t bear to see her mother overwork herself.

“Sister, sister.”

Just as Xuexue was about to turn around and help Madam Xie sell river snails, Chuner’s voice sounded somewhat anxious.

“What’s wrong?” Xuexue turned her head, puzzled.

“That… that… why is that person always staring at us?” Chuner pointed towards someone in the distance.

Following her gesture, Xuexue was taken aback, it was the simpleton who had followed her home; he hadn’t left but was squatting not far away, staring at them eagerly, continuously wiping drool from his chin – his appearance hinted at hunger.

“Sister, is he hungry? Being hungry is so uncomfortable, let’s give him a bun to eat.” Chuner, having often been hungry at the Mo family, knew all too well that being belly-to-back was an unpleasant feeling and suggested with sympathy.

“Our Chuner really has a heart of a Bodhisattva. Okay, you sit here and eat nicely, sister will take a bun to him.”

After speaking, Xuexue took a bun and walked over, stopping in front of him, “Are you hungry?”

“Mhm.” The simpleton’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Xuexue and he eagerly nodded.

“Here you go.”

“Hehe…, I knew my wife would treat me the best.” The simpleton took the bun and bit into it voraciously, his face brimming with satisfaction.

“You….”

Xuexue was infuriated, even a simpleton knew to take advantage; seeing him covered in dirt and squatting awkwardly on the ground, wolfing down the bun, she knew he was famished, and she didn’t bother arguing with someone of his mental capacity. Turning around, she went back to the stall to relieve Madam Xie.

Because they had come twice, everyone knew their river snails were delicious and affordable; whenever people passed their stall, they would buy some. In this cold winter day, the spicy river snails could also warm them up.

Soon, by the time it approached noon, they had sold all the river snails they had picked, and they had collected a big bag of Copper Coins. Madam Xie, fearing someone might get greedy upon seeing it, purposely covered it up with other things.

That made sense; the three of them, mother and daughters, were all women without a man to support the household – if they could keep a low profile, they did so, to avoid the attention of those with ill intentions.

“Chuner, let’s go! Time to buy pork lard cakes.”

Xuexue shouted gleefully, pulling Chuner’s hand.

“Okay.”

Seeing her sister happy, Chuner also beamed with joy.

After packing up, they greeted Auntie Zhang, who sold jewelry, and the mother and daughters from the Mo family picked up their carrying poles and left.

Taking advantage of the early hour, Xuexue discussed with Madam Xie that they needed to buy many household supplies, as they were lacking in practically everything.

As they passed a general store brimming with goods, both edible and usable, they had everything one might need.

“Mother, let’s buy from this shop, it has a wide variety, and we won’t have to walk back and forth, which is exhausting.” Xuexue tugged at Madam Xie’s arm, suggesting.

“Hmm, that sounds good.”

Madam Xie put down the carrying poles and walked into the shop, looking here and there, feeling that everything was so expensive, she was somewhat reluctant to buy.
