She glared at Ling Chaofeng, his eyes seemingly saying: ”See, you came to ask for money.”
Ling Chaofeng, on the other hand, remained indifferent as he stood up and walked out the door.
Xiaowan was unhappy to see Madam Xu and wanted to hide upstairs. Aunt Zhang held her hand and said: ”Are you not afraid of her? Why not personally chase her away and let her know how strong she is so that she won't dare to come back again?”
Furthermore, the Ling Xiao Inn was given to him in the town yesterday, not only was he given the porridge, he was also given a hundred gold coins. Very quickly, people brought this scene back to the town and spread it, saying that the Master Mu had an extraordinary son-in-law.
Madam Xu almost drooled when she heard this. It was said that even a few nearby villages could get dozens of gold coins from their children. After a whole day, they would at least give twenty silver coins.
The Madam Xu loved them for their extravagance, and also hated them for having the money to give to outsiders. She also didn't know how to give some to her parents, but after the couple came to sweep the tomb, they couldn't wait for the arrival of La Yue. They didn't even hear the sound of the copper coin.
Before daybreak, he dragged the two children out of the house, from Qingling Village to Baisha Town by donkey carriage. Afterwards, the two children walked over five kilometers while treading on the snow, and were so tired that they were half dead.
When Ling Chaofeng went out the door, he saw that Xiaowan's brother and sister were trembling with cold all over, their faces were flushed red from the cold. Madam Xu's lips were also purple from the cold.
There was a fire burning inside the shop, it was as warm as spring. Even Aunt Zhang s were wearing simple jackets, it was already warm enough when they saw their stepmother walk in, their eyes were all wide open.
The two children ran to the table and saw the porridge, buns and oily poached eggs on the table. They licked their lips and asked Xiaowan, ”Big sister, you guys are having breakfast.
Madam Xu went up to chase the two children away, put down the pot of porridge she was carrying and said: ”Look at how meddlesome I am, I was thinking about Xiaowan's love of eating porridge and sending it over. How could I have known that there would be a lack of food in the inn.”
She chuckled, and raised her head to look at the people around her, and was shocked by the strong and rough looking Uncle Biao, and realised, could it be that the people around them were talking about this?
He saw the two people next to him, the beautiful middle-aged woman. It was impossible to tell her age at a glance. She wore clean and decent clothes, and her skin was very white. She had a smile on her face, which was quite polite. There was another young brother, someone from Madam Xu had heard about him before, and passersby would always see him sweeping the ground in front of the inn.
”Evening, the porridge is cold, do you want to warm it before eating?” Madam Xu had a kind mother's heart and said to Xiaowan, ”Your father knows that you love eating peanuts. He even picked up the peanuts in the pot and told me to definitely watch you drink a bowl before coming home. ”He won't be able to leave today, or else he would also come to visit you. We all know that the inn is busy with business, and you all will not be able to leave.”
Xiaowan's face was cold. She did not even look at her and really did not understand what face this woman had. Ling Chaofeng was too courteous. Previously, when they were sweeping the tomb, if Hubby still threw Mu Wen Bao out instead of giving him money, this woman wouldn't have the guts to come and pester him. At this moment, he even invited them in.
young lady looked at her husband unhappily, as if to say: ”You handle this matter, I don't care.”
This person had clearly promised herself that they would never be able to see each other in the same place again, even if they had to say that they would never meet again in their entire lives. Xiaowan felt that he might have forgotten.
Ling Chaofeng did not forget, he was thinking that these problems could be easily solved through violence, but Xiaowan had once suffered so much, and now that the heavens had made them a husband and wife, alleviating her suffering, it must be out of consideration for her kindness, piety and strength, that it was a blessing for her.
If they were to use violence or design to hurt others, they could truly vent their anger, or scare the Madam Xu until she did not dare to bother them anymore. But like this, they could perhaps blame the industry report on the Xiaowan.
If Madam Xu had retribution, the heavens would send it to her sooner or later. Now it was enough as long as she could ensure that this woman wouldn't hurt Xiaowan again. He was unwilling to commit sins for the sake of such an evil man.
Ling Chaofeng was a person who wandered in between black and white. He had impulses and passion, and might be able to survive for a long time.
”Big Sis, we're hungry. We haven't had breakfast yet.” Mu Wen Bao hid behind his mother and stared fixedly at the poached egg on the table. He said to Xiaowan, ”Big sister, can we have a bite to eat?”
The Aunt Zhang was still the most enthusiastic one. She immediately said, ”Eat, Aunt will bring the two of you a bowl and chopsticks.”
However, the two children were very unruly and immediately climbed onto the table to grab it. The poached egg was so fragrant that they couldn't eat it at home even a few times a year.
Their eldest sister ate a few dumplings a few days after she got married, but her days soon became short again. Their mother loved to hide her money, and only then did she feel at ease. The words that were hanging on her lips were always, ”In the future, won't this silver be used for your marriage?”
They ate the egg in a few bites, and there was even one lying on the plate. The siblings looked at each other, who was faster than them, and they quickly fought over it.
