Chapter 39 Go to the underworld and ask your son for money (Seeking monthly votes)
Xu Qingmo quickly sensed something was wrong. She and her daughter had just passed by several men who looked like thugs and were obviously up to no good.
Xu Qingmo grabbed Wang Jing's hand, her eyes indicating that she was being watched.
Wang Jing nodded, and the two of them pretended not to notice and continued walking inside.
The black market had a complete range of goods, including everything available at the supply and marketing cooperative, though the prices were higher. But considering that no coupons were needed, Xu Qingmo felt it was a good deal.
The mother and daughter strolled from one end to the other, choosing some fruit trees, such as jujube trees, apple trees, peach trees, and pear trees.
I also bought corn seeds, wheat seeds, soybean seeds, black bean seeds, and mung bean seeds...
All the ones we could see were selected.
We also bought vegetable seeds.
Seeing that they were buying a lot and were a mother and daughter, the vendor couldn't help but ask, "How did you get here? Do you need me to deliver it to you?"
Xu Qingmo refused, "No need, you just need to pack it up, I'll carry it."
The vendor noticed that Xu Qingmo was small in stature and spoke in a childish voice, saying things that adults should say, and couldn't help but take a second look.
She praised, "The little girl is so young, yet she already knows how to share the burden with her mother. She's so sensible."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "My daughter is indeed sensible."
After packing the goods, the vendor asked again, "Are you sure you don't need any help?"
"Of course not, these are too light and easy."
The vendors saw a five-year-old girl lifting a fifty-pound sack with one hand as easily as if she were carrying a chick.
Even street vendors can't do it this easily.
Xu Qingmo deliberately glanced at the road she had come from; those thugs were still there.
Moreover, he intentionally approached the mother and daughter.
Wang Jing tried to take the heavy object from Xu Qingmo's hand, but was refused.
"Momo, aren't you tired?" Wang Jing was still worried.
Xu Qingmo shook her head. "Mom, I'm not heavy. You don't need to worry about me. These things are too easy for me."
"Momo, don't try to be strong in front of your mother."
"Of course not, don't worry. I'll definitely tell you if I feel tired." Xu Qingmo said as she walked forward. They had already bought almost everything they wanted.
Now all we need to do is find a place where no one will notice and put everything into Wang Jing's space.
Wang Jing and Xu Qingmo walked out of the black market. Not far away, there was a dark alley. Xu Qingmo plunged into the alley, and Wang Jing followed.
The figures of the mother and daughter were quickly swallowed up by the dark alley.
The thugs rubbed their hands excitedly. "This mother and daughter are not only beautiful, but also quite sensible. They sneak into dark alleys at night, so we brothers don't have to bother trying to scam them."
"I just noticed that the woman took out a lot of money. She's rich and beautiful, which is really great."
"Hurry up, don't keep them waiting."
The thugs immediately rushed into the dark alley. The leader was kicked out as soon as he entered, and he flew out of the alley and knocked the two people behind him to the ground.
The three of them slumped down in a huddle.
"What happened? Big brother, how did you fly out?" The henchman, who was trapped at the bottom, asked through gritted teeth.
"I don't know, I suddenly felt something touch my lower abdomen, and then I was thrown out."
"Could it be that I saw a ghost in the middle of the night?"
"I think that's possible too. A beautiful mother and daughter daring to go out to the black market so late at night, without a man by their side, what do you think? Isn't that suspicious?"
The thugs grew increasingly frightened, so they braced themselves on the ground to their feet and fled in a panic.
Xu Qingmo walked out of the dark alley and looked at the group of people who had fled in panic, speechless.
With that kind of guts, you still dare to go out and cause trouble?
She had only punched him once, and before she could even finish the punch, he had managed to scare them both away using his imagination.
You're so useless!
Wang Jing put everything into her spatial storage and immediately went out to look for Xu Qingmo, worried that she might be bullied.
But they saw three people fleeing in disarray, and Xu Qingmo with a look of disdain.
Her Momo is really amazing; she can protect herself on her own.
Wang Jing stepped forward, squatted down, and hugged Xu Qingmo tightly.
Xu Qingmo felt a lightness in her body, and the feeling of being held in Wang Jing's arms was both strange and familiar.
She had been hugged like this before when she was at the county hospital.
Xu Qingmo felt a little uncomfortable and instinctively tried to jump to the ground, but Wang Jing held her tightly.
"Momo, let Mommy hug you." Wang Jing's eyes were full of longing.
He longed to be close to Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo felt strange; she wanted to refuse, yet she also wanted to accept.
It's very contradictory.
Meeting Wang Jing's eyes, he ultimately didn't utter the words of refusal.
Before Xu Qingmo could refuse, Wang Jing happily kissed her on the cheek.
Xu Qingmo was filled with shock, while Wang Jing carried her toward the car.
After placing the child in the seat and fastening her seatbelt, Wang Jing got into the driver's seat and drove to the police station to pick up Shen Jiang and take her back to the village.
When they arrived at Wang Xiuzhi's house, the door was bolted from the inside.
Xu Qingmo patted the door. "Open the door quickly, I want to come in."
Wang Xiuzhi was standing in the courtyard enjoying the cool air when she heard the noise, but she pretended not to hear it.
Xu Qingmo repeated herself, but still received no response. Losing her patience, she urged, "If you don't open the door, I'll tear it down."
Wang Xiuzhi's expression changed, and she had to temporarily put aside her idea of going inside and pretending to be asleep.
Xu Qingmo is determined to do what she says she will do.
Wang Xiuzhi, seething with resentment, went to open the door, her face dark. "Weren't you taken away? Why are you back?"
"I still have a lot of things here. How can I leave before I've packed them all up? Why would I leave them here for you and Xu Yuanyuan to enjoy?" Xu Qingmo said irritably.
Looking at the cured meat under the eaves, Wang Xiuzhi felt a pang of sadness at the thought that it would soon be taken away.
“Some houses in town are now available for rent, but they charge money. You’ve stayed here for so long and I haven’t taken a single penny from you. You can keep this meat to pay for the rent.” Wang Xiuzhi was making her own calculations.
Xu Qingmo was very dissatisfied with what Wang Xiuzhi said.
She raised her head and retorted, "Did I ask to stay here? It was Xu Yuanlong who told me to stay here. If you want money, go ask your son in the underworld."
Mentioning Xu Yuanlong made Wang Xiuzhi feel uneasy, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest.
Her eyes quickly welled up with tears. "He's still your father, how could you say that to him? Without him, you might still be living on the street."
Xu Qingmo reminded her, "You're wrong. I should live in the cowshed and fend for myself."
Wang Xiuzhi was speechless and couldn't say anything in rebuttal for a moment.
Wang Jing was unaware of Xu Yuanlong's situation; she simply hadn't seen him yet. On her way back, she wondered if it would be too awkward to meet him.
Xu Qingmo led Wang Jing and Shen Jiang back to their room.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Wang Jing asked, "Mo Mo, what did you mean by what you just said? Why do you want to go underground to beg for money?"
