Waking up from a dream, Su Yun transmigrated from a modern office worker to a young wife in an ancient rural village. Not only did she have an elderly and frail mother-in-law, but also two young an...
Song Muqiang was somewhat surprised; Su Yun'er had been doing some unexpected things these past two days.
"I want to buy some wild vegetables that I dug up in the mountains to exchange for some money. I need to buy medicine for my mother-in-law and also buy some firewood, rice, oil, and salt for the family," Su Yun'er said.
Song Muqiang nodded. Wild vegetables in the mountains usually taste quite bitter and are not very tasty. Only poor families who don't have money to eat will eat wild vegetables. Even if someone buys them, they are not worth much.
However, Song Muqiang didn't say it aloud. These things were too hurtful. His family couldn't help much, but at least he didn't want to discourage her. It was a good thing that Su Yun'er wanted to change her family's circumstances.
"There's a street in the county town where people set up stalls to sell things in the mornings. It's located on Lingque Street near the West Market. I heard that you can set up a stall there temporarily without needing to ask the officials for documents."
Having obtained the information she wanted, Su Yun'er noticed that it was getting late and began making preparations.
She found some common green vegetables in the space. The vegetables produced in the space were of good quality, and the space also had a preservation function, so they were still very crisp and tender.
If these were truly wild vegetables dug up from the mountains, Su Yun'er wasn't really sure she could sell them for money, but looking at these fresh vegetables, she still had some confidence.
After picking out some vegetables and putting them in a basket, Su Yun'er prepared to go out.
"Mother, where are you going?" Xiao Cao was sitting by the window in the inner room when she saw Su Yun'er about to go out and quickly asked.
"Mother is going to the city," Su Yun'er said.
But to everyone's surprise, Little Grass came running out, tilting her little face up with a nervous expression: "Mother, will you come back from the city?"
"Of course I'm coming back, why do you ask that, Xiaocao?" Su Yun'er found it a bit strange.
But Xiaocao still pouted and reached out to grab Su Yun'er's clothes.
"Mom, don't go. Little Grass doesn't want you to go. Before, Mom wouldn't feed Little Grass, Brother, and Grandma. Now Mom feeds us rice and meat. Little Grass doesn't want Mom to go to the city. If Mom goes to the city, she won't come back."
By the end, tears were welling up in Xiaocao's eyes.
Su Yun'er was touched and remembered something: Once, the original owner heard that there was a wealthy family in the city who wanted to take another concubine. In order to get rid of poverty, the original owner wanted to leave her child and mother-in-law to try. However, she was exposed by someone she knew and returned in disgrace.
Therefore, when Xiaocao heard that Su Yun'er was going to the city, she was afraid that Su Yun'er would abandon her again and never come back.
So Su Yun'er squatted down, pulled the little grass into her arms, and sat down under the eaves with her in her arms.
"Mother went to the city this time to try and get some food, but I won't not come back. Mother will bring back the food to Grandma and make delicious food for Little Grass and Little Tree. Don't worry, Little Grass. Here, Little Grass, watch the sun. When the sun is directly overhead, Mother will come back with delicious food."
The little grass looked to the east, where the sun had just risen above the horizon, like an egg yolk; then she looked up at the sky above her head, thought for a while, and nodded.
"Mom, what delicious food are you going to bring us?"
At this moment, the sapling also came over.
"What does Xiaoshu want to eat?" Su Yun'er stretched out her arm and pulled Xiaoshu over as well.
Xiaoshu tilted her head, her big eyes darting around. It was clear she had thought of many things she wanted to eat, but she just shook her head: "Xiaoshu doesn't know what she wants to eat. Mom will buy it for Grandma and my sister."
Little Grass nodded in agreement: "Mom, Little Grass doesn't want anything to eat either. Mom can buy it for Grandma. Little Grass isn't greedy."
This is because they know their family is poor, so they don't ask for things casually.
