Chapter 35

Xiaoxiao’s tone was gradually filled with temptation. “Brothers, let’s go buy something for the family?”

Ning Erlang immediately came back to his senses. He wanted to walk around but didn’t intend to spend money! He knew the situation at home!

However, the reason Xiaoxiao gave was too reasonable and convincing. “Even if you don’t buy anything else, you must look at the jars. Otherwise, what will you use to store the bamboo shoots tomorrow? How can you earn money if you don’t have anything to store the bamboo shoots with? Besides, think about it. It’s only a few copper coins to buy a jar. After buying a jar, you can earn two hundred copper coins. Second Brother, you can understand such simple maths, right?”

Ning Erlang didn’t know the maths, but he was pulled into the store by Xiaoxiao and chose six jars of various sizes in one go. Good, 20 copper coins were gone. However, his sister was still smiling cheekily. “Look, two copper coins were short when I bargained just now. Did I make a profit?”

D*mn! Ning Erlang gritted his teeth and pulled the money-spending girl away. He tried to persuade her again before paying the bill to see if he could get her to give up on this crazy idea of shopping. “Sister, look, there are so many jars. We can’t take them away. If we break them along the way, our hearts will ache. Why don’t we buy less first?”

Xiaoxiao looked at him with disdain. She took the small jars and stuffed them into the big jars. She even raised her eyebrows at him. Everything was under her control.

Alright, Ning Erlang had nothing to say. He could only mutter, “200, 200.” Then, he grabbed his sister, who was still looking at the other things in the shop with interest and walked towards the agreed gathering point.

Xiaoxiao was not angry that her desire to buy was interrupted. There were plenty of opportunities, so she did not want to be too hasty. She pretended to be honest and followed her brothers to the city gate. Soon, they saw Rong Yan and Yun Yi. When she saw the three, Yun Yi quickly stuffed three still-warm oil paper bags into their hands.

Xiaoxiao opened it and saw that it was white bread. When she took a bite, the hot broth rolled to the tip of her tongue and slid into her stomach. The fragrance had yet to dissipate.

Ning Dalang immediately pushed things back. “How can I accept this? We’ve already troubled you.” Ning Erlang was also very polite. “That’s right, that’s right. It’s not suitable.” However, his eyes could not bear to leave the bun. This meat bun was fragrant!

Xiaoxiao paused in her chewing. She lowered her head and looked at the big meat bun that she had already been bitten until there was a curved gap. Then, she looked at her brother’s rejection gesture and silently looked up at the sky before taking another bite.

She had already eaten it. She couldn’t return half of it to them, right?

Rong Yan smiled when he saw her small actions. Compared to the usual deception he had seen, he felt that Xiaoxiao’s pure and straightforward attitude made him feel more comfortable interacting with her. Moreover, she looked very interesting when she ate. Her cheeks bulged, and the bumps moved around as she ate.

Ning Erlang was dumbfounded as he watched his sister finish the entire bun and then look at the one in his hand. He didn’t know if he should return it. Ning Dalang also looked helpless, but he thought he should give them the money.

Rong Yan glanced at Yun Yi unhurriedly. Yun Yi hurriedly said, “It’s us who have been under your care for the past few days. We feel sorry. We wanted to give you some wild boar meat to thank you, but I didn’t expect we eat them in the end. Even the breakfast for today was prepared by Miss Ning early in the morning.”

Rong Yan thought about it carefully. Although he might not be a gentleman, he definitely could not pretend to be ignorant and still accept others’ kindness with a clear conscience.
