Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Return by Ox-cart

“Then… I’ll have eight vegetable buns, eight meat buns, and nine plain buns! Wrap four of the meat buns separately and the rest together. We want to take them with us!” Lin Xiaoyue immediately said.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was buying so many, the owner of the steamed bun stand glanced at Liu s.h.i.+ behind her.

Seeing that Liu s.h.i.+ didn’t say anything, he smiled and said, “Okay, little girl, wait a moment!” Then he quickly started to pack.

Lin Xiaoyue saw the expression of the owner of the steamed bun stall and turned her head to give her mother a mischievous smile. Seeing this, her mother gave her another look.

Did she want to spend all the money she earned today?

Very quickly, the seller wrapped everything that Lin Xiaoyue wanted with oil paper.

“Here, it’s a total of 37 cents. Please count them!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly paid the money.

The seller was surprised to see a handful of copper coins in Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.

Then he took the money and counted it to make sure it was correct.

“No problem. Here, take them, little girl!” Then he handed the steamed buns over.

Lin Xiaoyue didn’t take them, but turned around.

Only then did Liu s.h.i.+ come forward with a smile and put the steamed buns into Lin Xiaoyue’s basket.

Then, they left the steamed bun stand and went to get vegetables.

Their family really didn’t have a single vegetable plant. They had to buy them.

Liu s.h.i.+ was much more generous when it came to buying vegetables because she remembered that they wouldn’t spoil in the interspatial ring.

Lin Xiaoyue went to get a few catties of pork before she was called by Liu s.h.i.+ to walk towards the city gate.

On the way, Lin Xiaoyue saw a cloth shop, and she rushed into it to buy materials for her mother to make clothes for them.

Liu s.h.i.+ was helpless.

Thinking that Lin Xiaoyue was going into the mountains, if the clothes were damaged, it would be difficult to mend them again, so she agreed reluctantly.

So they bought some more linen.

After leaving the cloth shop, Liu s.h.i.+ told Lin Xiaoyue that if they were late, they wouldn’t be able to get on the ox-cart, so she stopped Lin Xiaoyue from looking around.

Outside the city, there was indeed only one ox-cart left beside.

Coincidentally, the one driving the ox-cart was the same old man who had sent them here in the morning.

It was already close to eleven o’clock. The sun was scorching hot, and Lin Xiaoyue was sweating profusely from the heat.

Liu s.h.i.+ was even more uncomfortable than Lin Xiaoyue, but she endured it.

“Yo, the girl who hunts! Want a ride?” The old man recognized Lin Xiaoyue and asked her with a smile.

Seeing them carrying so many things, he knew that they had made a lot of money today.

“Yes, old man. We are going to Dais.h.i.+ Village. How much do you charge?” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

The old man looked at the mother and daughter. This time, they didn’t have as many things as they did in the morning.

“5 cents. But we don’t have enough people. We have to wait before we set off,” the old man said.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at her mother, who was so hot that she didn’t want to speak anymore, and then looked at the sun.

“It’s getting late. It’s time to go back and eat. How about I give you 8 cents and we leave now?” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Liu s.h.i.+ glanced at her daughter and didn’t say anything.

The people who came to town from all the villages must have gone back by this time. They didn’t know how much longer they would have to wait.

Two more cents would do. They should go back earlier so that the w.a.n.g family didn’t have to make food for Zhi’er.

“Sure!” The old man replied with a smile.

“Get on!” As he spoke, he came to help the mother and daughter carry the basket into the ox-cart.

After getting on the ox-cart, the old man rode away with them

The sun was high in the sky, so they took some branches to cover the basket and their heads. Fortunately, there was some wind, which made it more tolerable.
