"Wife, I told you, don't be angry."
"Hurry up and tell me, I'm not angry." Zhang urged.
"When we were in the city, Yiyi helped the owner of the cloth shop, recovered his stolen money bag, and caught the thief. That's why the cotton and coarse cloth I bought were so cheap."
"Under normal circumstances, they would be much more expensive. The shopkeeper is giving us such a favorable price just to thank Yiyi."
After Yun the butcher finished speaking, he looked at Zhang and saw that her face was a little dark.
"Come on, you're going to town to buy something, right? Why are you catching a thief? What do you think of me, kid?"
"If you're like this, how can I dare to let you take the children out next time?" Zhang became more and more angry and annoyed as she spoke.
Not far from the mule cart, Boss Yun heard Zhang's angry voice and was about to go over to take a look. Yun Yiyi grabbed him.
"Yiyi, Dad and Mom are arguing. I'm going to try to stop them."
"Brother, there's no need to go over and try to persuade her. This is my problem. Mom will stop being angry soon, so don't go over and ask for a scolding."
"Brother, don't go over there. It's Yiyi's problem, no doubt. Let me talk to you about it." Xie Zirui also advised.
"Zirui, please tell us, what trouble did Yiyi get into today?" It has to be said that the person who knows Yun Yiyi best is Third Brother Yun.
Yun Yiyi looked at Third Brother Yun unhappily, but she didn't say anything.
Xie Zirui began to tell everyone about how Yun Yiyi caught a thief.
The atmosphere on the mule cart here is still very tense.
"Wife, it's not that I don't care about the children. When we were driving and shopping, Yiyi heard someone shouting, 'Catch a thief!' She jumped out of the car and went to catch the thief."
"I didn't even have time to catch him. Then Zirui followed suit. By the time I found them, Yiyi had already snatched the purse back. The thief was knocked to the ground."
"Later, we learned that the person whose money bag was stolen was the owner of the cloth shop. So, the owner took us to his shop to buy coarse cloth and cotton."
"He forced the cotton cloth on us when we were leaving, saying it was for the children to make clothes. I had no choice but to accept it."
"Wife, you see, I really didn't mean to ignore the child. Don't be angry with me." Butcher Yun carefully looked at Zhang's face.
"Humph, who said it's none of your business? If you hadn't spoiled the child, would he be so bold?"
"Wife, the child is not just mine, and I am not the only one who spoils her." Yun the butcher looked at Zhang's sideways eyes and his voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
"Okay, okay, I'm used to it. But I won't be used to it in the future. Is that okay?" Yun the butcher changed his words.
"You can be said to have met a grateful shopkeeper today. However, Yiyi is too brave. If the thief is not alone, Yiyi will be in danger."
"I still have to give her a good scolding and teach her a lesson." The more Zhang spoke, the more unsatisfied she became.
"When I'm scolding a child, don't protect her. Otherwise, I'll scold you too. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it, wife. Yiyi realized her mistake when she was in the city, and she also promised me that she would not do that again. Otherwise, shall we not scold her this time?" Yun the Butcher looked at Zhang cautiously.
"Really? You didn't lie to me? You two are not trying to trick me, are you?" Zhang looked at Yun the Butcher suspiciously.
"That's impossible, wife. I'm such an honest person. Wife, look at this cotton cloth, what kind of clothes can I make for Yiyi?"
"I just checked it out. The pattern and color of this fabric are beautiful and the fabric is soft. It can be used to make Yiyi a single layer of clothing or a cotton-padded jacket."
"In a couple of days, I'll make two sets of cotton-padded clothes for Yiyi. I'll use this fabric."
Seeing that Zhang had finally changed the subject, Butcher Yun let out a deep breath. He secretly wiped the sweat from his face. "Alas, being a father is so hard. I always have to face my wife's wrath."
"Okay, put these two rolls of cotton cloth on the new mule cart in the back. Remember to wrap them with old coarse cloth to prevent them from getting dirty." Zhang handed the cotton cloth in her hand to Yun the butcher, and did not forget to instruct him.
"Don't worry, daughter-in-law. You can rely on me to work."
Zhang gave Yun the butcher a blank look and said nothing.
Butcher Yun was walking towards the new mule cart holding cotton cloth, and Yun Yiyi came over in a few steps.
"Dad, is my mother still angry?" Yun Yiyi looked at Yun the Butcher cautiously.
"Hmph, I won't tell you." Yun the Butcher turned his head to the other side.
Yun Yiyi walked around to the other side and continued to stare at Yun the Butcher.
"Dad, Dad, tell me."
"Okay, your mother is no longer angry. But before going to bed, you have to apologize to your mother and don't make her angry." Yun the Butcher whispered to Yun Yiyi.
"Dad, you are so capable. You are so nice, Dad." A bunch of nice words came directly to Yun the Butcher.
After hearing this, Yun the Butcher was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Okay, stop saying nice things to me and go have fun." Yun the Butcher looked at Yun Yiyi with disdain.
"Okay, Dad. I'm going to play." Yun Yiyi flew away like a happy little bird.
Butcher Yun shook his head and continued to work.
By the time Zhang and Yun the Butcher had packed up the three carts, it was almost dark.
"Dad, our family now has three cars, so we can carry more firewood in the future." Boss Yun sighed.
"The firewood on the top of the donkey cart is enough for us now. When the weather gets colder, we will bring more firewood. That's it for now." Yun the butcher made the decision.
"Your father has a point. It's still hot during the day, and firewood is easy to find. We don't need to store too much firewood."
"By the way, wife, when we bought the cart, they gave us some beans and fertilizer that can be eaten by mules and donkeys. Did you see them? I put them in the old mule cart."
Zhang deliberately glanced at Yun the butcher and said, "By the time you remember, the daylilies will be cold. I've already asked the villagers and found out that they were sent to give away mules and donkeys."
"Haha, I was so busy going into town to buy things that I forgot to explain everything to the boss and the others. I really didn't mean to do that."
"I know you didn't mean to keep it a secret. But they gave us quite a bit, enough to feed us for a while. The little donkey can also have some."
"As for hay, you can cut a basket of it every time you go to collect firewood and keep it for feeding slowly. Fortunately, there is no shortage of hay now." Yun the butcher looked relieved.
"Our family has gained a big item. Before we fled the famine, we could only afford to buy a small donkey, but after we fled the famine, we bought two mule carts. It's really fate that plays tricks on us." Zhang sighed.
"Mom, this is a good thing. It means our family is getting better and better."
