[QTC] MBDT Chapter 77

The next day, when Bei Yutang got up, Xiao Zimo was no longer around.

“Mo’er.” Bei Yutang called out, but there was no movement.

Bei Yutang put on her clothes and walked out of the house when she heard movement in the kitchen.

When she walked into the kitchen, she saw that Xiao Zimo was already lighting the fire to cook.

Bei Yutang looked at Xiao Zimo in surprise.

Xiao Zimo looked at Bei Yutang timidly, “Mother, you wash up. You can eat later.”

Bei Yutang washed her face and Xiao Zimo had already opened the pot.

Bei Yutang took a look and saw that it was still the wild vegetable soup from yesterday.

“Did you pick this up in the morning?”

Xiao Zimo nodded.

This is not the solution to eating this all the time. Not to mention whether she can tolerate hunger or not, but also the nutrition is not able to keep up. After having breakfast of wild vegetable soup, Bei Yutang took out all the dozen copper coins in the cabinet.

These copper coins are all the belongings of this family.

The reason why this family is in such an embarrassing situation is all Mu Zhitao’s fault.

Mu Zhitao is a standard type of good-eating and lazy-cooking type. The three acres of land allocated from the Yang family, excluding taxes, are enough for the two mother and son to live frugally. However, that woman doesn’t know how to manage and spend money lavishly. Every time after the autumn harvest, she would sell the little grain she got for money and squander it.

Now shortly after the autumn harvest, Mu Zhitao got two taels of silver from selling grain, which she, a woman, used to please the man. Now the family only has this half of the money.

A dozen copper coins is really a bit small, but it can also buy some food.

Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo to the town to buy food. It was more than 20 miles from Nanxi Village where they were located to the town. It would take at least an hour to walk.

Bei Yutang walked for half an hour and was already panting from exhaustion. This body is really not ordinary. If it were any other peasant woman, she would not be like this even after walking for several hours, let alone more than 20 miles.

At this time, there was the sound of wheels rolling behind her and Bei Yutang turned her head in surprise. The driver was Uncle Niu from the same village. When Uncle Niu saw Bei Yutang and her son on the side of the road, when passing by them, instead of stopping, he accelerated his speed.

Bei Yutang wanted to shout, but her voice got stuck in her throat.

Come on, this obviously doesn’t want to see them.

You can’t rely on others, you can only go by yourself. By the time Bei Yutang and the two arrived in town, the sun was already high.

It is said to be a town, but from Bei Yutang’s point of view, the scale is like a more prosperous village in the modern world. The main street is only about a hundred meters long and all the shops are on both sides of the street.

It was the first time for Xiao Zimo to come to the town. He was very excited. He stared at both sides of the street with his dark eyes. When he saw the small stall of the candy seller on the street, his eyes were shining, but he quickly lowered his head.

Bei Yutang noticed it, held his hand, and walked to the candy seller’s stall. She lowered her head and asked, “Mo’er, which one do you like?”

Mo’er suddenly raised his head, and his black pupils shining brightly, “Mother, do you want to buy it for me?”

Bei Yutang was suddenly seen by his black grape-like bright eyes and her heart skipped a beat. Looking at this little fellow’s eyes, the innocent look, it was simply cute.

“Yeah.” Bei Yutang rubbed his little head lovingly, “Choose the one you like.”

Xiao Zimo did not choose but asked the stall owner first, “Uncle, how much does a candy man cost?”

“Two cents a piece, buy two for three cents.” The stall owner looked at the pink and tender Xiao Zimo and replied with a smile.

Xiao Zimo raised his head and said to Bei Yutang: “Mother, Mo’er doesn’t want to eat.”
