Yingbao drove the mule cart into town, and Chunniang got off to buy daily necessities. She also went to the butcher’s stall to buy a piece of pork, preparing to make pork and chive dumplings as a treat for the family.

The butcher was still old Tu and his son.

Tu Xiong had become completely honest since his father redeemed him with money. It was said that he had already married and become much more stable than before, not messing around with bad company anymore.

Although it wasn’t a market day, due to the busy farming season, there were still quite a few vendors selling goods on the street.

It was the twin boys’ first time coming to town, and they were so excited that they insisted on getting off the cart to walk around, but Yingbao ruthlessly restrained them.

These two boys were hyperactive. Once let off the cart, they could quickly disappear into the crowd, and even a dog wouldn’t be able to catch up with them.

“Whatever you fancy, your sister will buy for you.” After suppression, appeasement was a must, and Yingbao handled it smoothly.

Xiaojie pointed at a water buffalo resting by the road and shouted, “Sister, buy the buffalo! Buy the buffalo!”

Yingbao slapped his little hand without pleasure, “Choose another one! ”

Xiaojie then pointed to a stone carved flying beast on the roof of a house by the street, “I want that! That!”

Yingbao: …

She seriously suspected that this little guy was doing this on purpose.

“Puppy! Puppy!” Xiaowu tugged at his sister’s sleeve, pointing in a certain direction.

As Yingbao turned her head to look, her eyes lit up instantly.

There was a raggedy man squatting by the side of the road with a bamboo basket in front of him. Inside the basket, there were two fluffy puppies.

Yingbao quickly jumped off the cart, ran over to the man, and asked, “Are you selling these puppies?”

The man nodded, “Yes.”

“How much for one?”

“Ten coins.”

Yingbao pulled out ten coins and handed them to him: “I’ll take one.”

The man happily took the money and pushed the basket towards her, “Pick whichever you like. They’ve already opened their eyes. Just feed them some porridge every day and they’ll live.”

Yingbao picked a light yellow puppy.

The puppy was soft and fluffy with droopy ears and eyes as black as polished black obsidian. It was incredibly adorable.

When she returned to the cart with the puppy, Xiaojie and Xiaowu immediately pounced to snatch it. “I want it! I want it!”

Xiaowu, quick and agile, snatched the puppy away and twisted his body to prevent Xiaojie from touching it.

Seeing that he couldn’t win against his stronger younger brother, Xiaojie got upset, tilted his head back, and burst into tears, starting to complain to his sister, “I want a puppy! I want a puppy too.”

Having been worn down by the two boys, Yingbao had no choice but to return to the man and spend another ten coins to buy the other puppy as well.

What other choice did she have? If she didn’t buy it, she’ll probably turn the two boys into sore eyes.

This one was a black haired dog, but it had a patch of white fur on its forehead that cunningly extended to one of its eyes.

Xiaojie wasn’t picky; once he got hold of the black puppy, he wouldn’t let go. When Xiaowu reached over to have a look, Xiaojie twisted and turned to hide it from him.

Xiaowu gave a snort, cuddling his yellow puppy next to his sister and whispered, “His puppy is so ugly.”

Yingbao: …

When Chunniang came back from shopping, she was surprised to see that her daughter had bought two puppies.

“Your father and I have been thinking about getting a dog to guard the house for a long time, but we never came across anyone selling them. It’s quite a coincidence that you managed to buy two today.”

In the remote South Slope, keeping one or two dogs at home had the benefits of home guarding and nighttime alerts.

Hearing this, the two boys protested in unison, “It’s my puppy! It won’t be guarding the house! ”

Chunniang ignored her silly sons, packed away the items she had bought, climbed onto the mule cart, and headed home.
