Chapter 139 Take a few small apples from the basket for them to eat

Without Xie Huaian's restraint, Ruan Mian decisively took out the horses from the space in an empty corner and installed two large baskets on each of them to load the goods.

In addition to daily food, she also purchased some special items.

For example, there were puppies that could guard the house, domestic piglets that could improve wild boar genes, and some chicks, filling two large baskets.

In addition, she also bought some seeds for spring sowing, and then planted them interspersed with the seeds in her own space so that those people would not become suspicious.

Having a new baby in the family is always a happy occasion, but there had never been the conditions to prepare for it. Now that the baby has arrived, Ruan Mian bought a lot of red candles, red cloth, combs, pens and ink for the one-year-old celebration.

She bought them one by one, and soon the baskets on her two horses were full.

She fed the horses some spiritual spring water and stroked their manes. "You've worked hard. Originally, these things could have been moved to my space, but we can't let anyone suspect anything."

The horse seemed to understand what she was saying, moving its ears and stamping its feet.

Ruan Mian smiled slightly and took a few small apples from the basket for them to eat.

Listening to the crunching sounds of them eating, Ruan Mian became interested. At this moment, a furry kitten came to Ruan Mian's feet.

It rubbed her back and forth with its tail held high.

She picked it up in surprise and found that it was brought by Xie Huaian.

"Did your Excellency buy a cat in addition to the military rations?"

He didn't buy any of his own things.

Xie Huaian smiled slightly: "Don't you, Madam Ruan, help me with everything I need to buy?"

Ruan Mian laughed: "My lord, you are relying on me."

But she didn't care, it was just a matter of supporting one person.

Seeing that it was getting late and Xie Huaian still had to transport military supplies to the military camp, Ruan Mian did not waste any more time. The two of them each took two horses and four mules and left the city.

Thinking of giving Jing Ge'er a simple half-moon banquet, she also specially invited Xie Huaian.

"Thank you, sir, for coming to my house for dinner in two days. My son Jing is already one month old, and we haven't had any wedding ceremonies yet! I bought a lot of delicious food today. You can tell me what you want to eat in advance."

At this time, Ruan Mian was already thinking about what delicious food to make that day.

Braised pork elbow, roast goose, crispy duck, and ginseng chicken soup. I have recently harvested some cabbages and cherry tomatoes in the space, so I have everything I want to eat.

Now that spring has arrived, there are countless wild vegetables on the mountain. Meixi dug up quite a few of them a few days ago. Needless to say, they are so delicious that I am drooling just thinking about them.

However, at such a beautiful moment, an uninvited guest blocked the way.

Soon after they left the city, they were blocked by some rough guys.

The leader had a scar on his face and looked ferocious. He stared at Ruan Mian's bulging bag and snorted.

"That bitch really made a lot of money. Look at all the stuff she bought. I bet she still has a lot of money left over, right?!"

"You set up a stall on that street in the East Market without my permission and didn't even pay me the money I owe you as a filial son. Now you think you can just walk away after making a profit? No way!!"

After hearing this, Ruan Mian finally realized that someone was jealous of his business.

They didn't stop her when she was selling, but now that she has made money, they come to collect stall fees?

She chuckled and said calmly.

"Sir, I have no grudge against you. I'm just running a small business. How can I afford to give you a gift?"

"If you..."

Before he could finish his words, Ruan Mian suddenly saw something flashing with smoke being thrown from behind him in front of the group of people.

She immediately turned around and pulled Xie Huaian back a little!

"careful!"

Xie Huaian's eyes tightened and he took her hand into his arms. The next moment, there was a sudden loud noise behind him, like a small gunpowder bomb exploding.

With a bang, the gangsters who were blocking the road were scared and retreated one after another.

Then a woman in bright red clothes rushed out, holding a knife, and roared angrily: "You bunch of bastards! Instead of being good people, you have to be beasts worse than pigs and dogs!"

"You're all robbing people of their money every day. I think you're tired of living! I'm warning you, I've already reported this to the authorities. None of you are allowed to leave. Get ready to be caned at the government office! Damn it! You'll piss off your ancestors so much they'll want to flip over their coffins!"

What a fierce old woman.

How could those villains stand this fight? They were burning with rage and were about to fight back when a tall and strong man, like the woman, rushed out with a machete in his hand and blood all over his hands.

The people blocking the road were so frightened that their legs went weak. They had no time to resist and ran faster than rabbits.

He disappeared into the woods in shame.

Xie Huaian subconsciously protected Ruan Mian behind him, and the two of them looked at the middle-aged woman.

He bowed politely to express his gratitude, but before he could finish his words, the woman grunted, threw the knife to the ground, and put her hands on her hips.

"I came here to ask for an explanation, but you had the bad luck to run into those bastards."

"Well, I helped you drive away those beasts, so I deserve a little thank you money. You shouldn't be stingy, right?"

The two were stunned, obviously not expecting her to ask for money.

To be honest, it was she who stepped in to help and drove those stupid guys away.

Ruan Mian was in a good mood today and was willing to give some tips, but she was curious about something.

"Auntie, you just said you wanted to ask me for an explanation. What do you mean?"

The old woman took a few steps forward, raised her chin and was about to speak, but her face suddenly changed!

She immediately looked shocked and looked at Ruan Mian's face in disbelief.

"You are...Mianmian?"

Ruan Mian frowned slightly. She didn't recognize the woman in front of her. She tried hard to search the original owner's memory in her mind, but there was no useful information.

When she was confused, the old woman suddenly grabbed her arm with great joy and burst into laughter!

"Oh my God!! You are really Mian Mian!! Oh God and Bodhisattva, my sincerity can move mountains and open up new horizons! I unexpectedly found you in this damn place! Mian Mian, my Mian Mian!"

She hugged Ruan Mian excitedly, tears streaming down her face.

Ruan Mian looked confused, but the woman was so emotional at the moment that she didn't give her any room to react.

"Mianmian, it's been years since I last saw you, but I still remember what you looked like! You haven't changed at all since you were a child, you're still as lovely as ever."

"My aunt has suffered so much and gone through so many hardships. I thought it would be difficult for me to meet your family in this lifetime. My brother..."

When talking about Ruan Mian's father, the woman's eyes suddenly turned red, and her excitement eased a little.

"Are your father and mother well?"

After hearing this, Ruan Mian realized that the person in front of him was actually his aunt.
