Ma Yan was a shrewd person. When it came to money, she was more calculative than anyone else. Of course, she was unwilling to fork out for it.
Liu Fang was not stupid either. She was unwilling to give Chen Li the money either. With that, the matter was unsolved, so the group of children had to disperse.
“No way. I want to go to the market… Boo-hoo…”
The second son’s children were all obedient. Once Ma Yan gave them a look, they went back to their rooms to do their own things.
However, Yun Lang had been pampered by his father and mother ever since he was young. The couple would try their best to buy their precious son anything to satisfy him.
When Yun Lang found out that he might not be able to go to the market to eat delicious food, he squatted down on the ground and began to wail loudly. Tears and snot flowed down his face, making him look unkempt.
When Yun Yang saw his cousin in such a state, an indiscernible look of disdain flashed across his eyes. What a useless thing.
“Be good, Yun Lang. We won’t go to the market today. I’ll bring you there next time.”
Liu Fang was in a hurry to play mahjong. She only wanted to coax her son so that she could play mahjong as soon as possible.
Nevertheless, how could the pampered Yun Lang be coaxed with just a few words? He sat on the ground and cried, unwilling to let it go. Five minutes later, Liu Fang could not settle the issue. She had no choice but to take out one yuan from her trouser pocket and handed it to Yun Xi. The one yuan was Yun Lang’s fare. There was no surplus money left.
When Yun Lang heard that he could go to the market, he stopped crying. He stood up and used his sleeve to wipe his snot and tears off his face. He then patted the dust on his clothes and pants.
Since Liu Fang had already taken out the money, it was not a big deal for Yun Xi to bring Yun Lang along. However, what Yun Xi wanted was not that simple. She compared herself to Yun Lang. Apparently, she felt the need to change this spoiled and bad temper of his. Yun Xi thought this was something that she, as his cousin, could help him with.
“Mom, can I go to the market with my siblings too?”
Yun Lian was still a little unconvinced. They were both children. Why was Yun Lang able to eat the dragon fruit that she had never seen before last night? When Yun Lian wanted to go to the market today, Liu Fang only paid for Yun Lang’s fare. Yun Lian was like an invisible person who always got ignored.
Liu Fang was about to step out of the house, but Yun Xi called her back. It made Liu Fang rather dissatisfied.
Yun Gang had spent most of the money in the family to send out gifts. Today, Liu Fang went to play mahjong with the money she had saved over the years. Even if it was just one yuan, Liu Fang was not willing to spend it on Yun Lian.
“Why are you always comparing yourself to your younger brother? If you go out with them, who will do all the household chores? You can stay at home and look after the house.”
After saying this, Liu Fang did not give Yun Lian a chance to refute. She dashed toward the mahjong table that she had been eying.
“Let’s go, Yun Lang.”
Yun Xi called out to Yun Lang. They set off on the journey to the market together.
Hearing Yun Xi’s impatient tone, Yun Lang was a little unhappy. However, when he thought about how he would be able to eat delicious food, he did not mind her attitude.
Apart from sending things for Old Master Yun, Yun Xi had her own matters to attend to during the trip to the market.
When she treated Zhou Lin’s leg injury previously, the space had given her another section for changing fabric. Yun Xi wanted to use this ability to find a way to earn some money for herself. She hoped to give Yun Yang a chance to study in the future.
In her previous life, Yun Yang had not been given the chance to study. He had started farming at a young age. The child, who was only 15 or 16 years old, had yet to see the evil side of human nature. Once, when he was working in the fields, he met a crazy woman who was wandering around the village. The crazy woman saw that the young man had delicate features, so she molested him. This left a trauma in Yun Yang’s heart, causing a healthy and sunny child to become very gloomy ever since.
However, Yun Yang’s determination to protect his sister had not changed. When he learned that Yun Lian and Zhou Mo were trying to cheat his sister’s kidney, he suddenly became very agitated and wanted to fight these two people to death. However, he had hurt himself and ended up in prison.
In this life, Yun Xi would never allow such a tragedy to happen again.
Of course, the most important thing this time was to complete the second mission that the space had given her.
It was to give Zhou Lin her hair.
