Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Shu drove the mule cart and stopped at the Xie family’s pastry shop. He went in and bought a few pastries. The price was indeed much higher than ordinary pastries.
After coming out of the shop, he did not shop anymore. He sat on the mule cart and walked towards the village.
On the mule cart…
Chu Ziluo opened the pastry box and looked at the beautiful pastries inside. She was reluctant to eat them just by smelling the milky fragrance.
“Mother, are all these new pastries?”
“Well, try it. There’s no oven at home, so it won’t be so fragrant.”
Chu Ziluo quickly took the wooden fork beside the pastry box. A pastry cost 50 copper coins. It was definitely not cheap, but there were still people eating it.
Business was still very hot.
For example, those wealthy families would buy a large box every time and spend a few taels of silver without blinking.
Although the cost was high, their profit would be at least double. The small wooden forks were also customized by carpenters in batches. It did not cost much wood, but it was a waste of eyes.
“Wow, Mom, it’s so delicious. Hurry up and try it.”
Ye Muyu looked up and was fed a mouthful of sweet cream. There was a soft cake outside, and it was as popular as a candy.
“Mother, is it delicious?” Chu Ziluo was so happy that her eyes curved into crescents. She only ate two mouthfuls and decided to bring the rest back for Chu Jin.
“My brother will definitely like it too. When we go back later, he will definitely scream happily.” Chu Ziluo was very confident.
“Don’t you feel sad if you have to give so much to your brother?” Ye Muyu smiled.
“I don’t feel sad. Lilt Jin is my younger brother. I love him more than anything. Oh right, Mother, let’s go outside the school to see him later. Let’s go see if he’s paying attention to the lesson.” Although Chu Ziluo said that, she actually wanted to surprise her brother earlier.
“Sure.” Ye Muyu nodded.
Naturally, Chu Ziluo was happy. She held onto the pastry tightly, afraid that it would break.
They returned to the village.
The county school was beside the stone road by the river at the head of the village.
The mule cart stopped silently beside the village school.
Ye Muyu brought Chu Ziluo down from the mule cart. Chu Ziluo was still holding some pastries in her hands.
Suddenly, a person came out of the village school’s gate and ran straight into her.
Everything happened too quickly.
Ye Muyu did not even have time to stop her daughter.
On the other hand, Nenya standing beside Chu Ziluo quickly reached out to support her. However, the impact of the person’s collision was too strong, and the two ladies fell to the ground.
Nenya was pressed under Ziluo, and both of them let out a cry of surprise.
“Ah!”
“Miss, are you alright?”
“Ah, I’m really sorry.” It was a young man who had knocked into him. There was a medical kit beside him. Inside, acupuncture bags, prescriptions, medicine bottles, and so on were scattered to the side.
Ye Muyu could not help but take a second look at the other party.
“Zhang Shu, help the girls up.” Ye Muyu was blocked by the man and could only ask Zhang Shu for help.
Zhang Shu had just finished setting up the mule cart. This was also a matter of the blink of an eye.
He quickly walked over and pulled Nenya up. Nenya ignored the pain and pulled the child up.
“My pastries!” Ziluo looked at the crumpled pastry in front of her and tears instantly came out. She was looking forward to it before, but now she was sad. She did not need to look to know how she was feeling at the moment.
Ye Muyu did not look too good either. How could she allow her daughter, whom she doted on, to be bullied by outsiders?
If it was an accident, then forget it.
However, the person who bumped into her did not seem to be apologetic at all. He just stared at Ye Muyu. This action was very rude..
