Yutang Town is unusually lively, with wide streets, numerous shops, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.
Mo Qingcheng chuckled: "Sister-in-law, don't get excited."
Liu Cuihua chuckled and shook her head awkwardly. Li Changgeng smiled, thinking that his silly wife had a shy side.
To make things easier, Mo Qingcheng decided to divide her forces into three groups.
Li Changgeng's family of three bought rice and flour, Liu Wenhui and her son went to buy vegetables, and Mo Qingcheng took Shangguan Yichen straight to the grain and seed shop.
Shangguan Yichen narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Mother wants to pull off a big heist?"
Mo Qingcheng chuckled: "Yeah, what's wrong, scared?"
What's there to be afraid of? If you do something wrong, they won't bring you food. The young boy's thoughts drifted, wondering why his stepmother had sent everyone else away.
Mo Qingcheng gave the young boy a meaningful look: "Do you know how to buy the most suitable thing?"
Shangguan Yichen paused, his brows furrowed deeply, and he lowered his eyes. Wasn't this asking the impossible?
If my second sister were here...
Mo Qingcheng parked the oxcart in a secluded spot on the street corner, then led Shangguan Yichen to a nearby tea stall and ordered two cups of tea.
The tea seller was an old man, probably in his fifties, whose clothes were faded from washing but were exceptionally clean.
"Uncle, is it convenient for me to ask you something?" Mo Qingcheng asked the old man while drinking tea.
"Young lady, are you from out of town?" The old man was a little surprised. "I may not have any other skills, but if it comes to asking around about the gossip of the Zhangs and Lis in town, there are really few people who can compare to me." The old man smiled, full of self-admiration.
Shangguan Yichen was somewhat anxious, but he didn't interrupt rashly, knowing that his stepmother was a woman of principle.
"Old man, you have a good eye. You can tell at a glance that you're a kind-hearted person. In our Yutang Town, which shop sells the best quality seeds?"
“Young lady, you’ve come to the right place. See that? The Lin family shop across the street is the most honest.”
Mo Qingcheng quickly thanked him, showering the old man with compliments until he was dizzy with delight, and he answered all her questions without reservation.
After drinking a cup of tea, Mo Qingcheng had a pretty good grasp of the situation of the shops in town.
Shangguan Yichen was shocked. His stepmother was really capable; this way, it was not easy to be deceived.
The shopkeeper of the Lin family shop was a girl in her early twenties, warm and composed, named Lin Feifei, who hit it off with Mo Qingcheng at first sight.
"My dear sister, what kind of seeds do you want to buy?" Lin Feifei looked Mo Qingcheng up and down with her beautiful eyes.
Shangguan Yichen remained calm and stepped in front of Mo Qingcheng, asking, "Auntie, what kinds of seeds do you sell?"
Mo Qingcheng suppressed Xiao Peng's impulse and awkwardly touched her nose: "Manager Lin, cough cough... my boss is the head of the family."
Lin Feifei nodded. This mother and daughter were clearly not related. Interesting.
No, Lin Feifei's eyes flickered slightly. The young woman looked even younger than herself. She had just rashly called her "sister"...
Mo Qingcheng smiled and casually ruffled the little boy's hair, her face beaming with a happy smile.
Lin Feifei explained everything one by one, patiently and meticulously, leaving Mo Qingcheng speechless with amazement. How precious!
Shangguan Yichen remained expressionless, his small face covered with frost. As he watched Mo Qingcheng buy rice and other seeds, his heart ached.
What a spendthrift mother!
Mo Qingcheng picked out several kinds of seeds, not worried at all about whether they could be grown. The interstellar farm had been upgraded, and there were dozens more boxes of seeds. Except for living people, they couldn't grow them, cough cough...
You're thinking dirty thoughts...
“Sister, here are some seeds from overseas. Would you like some?” Lin Feifei walked over carrying a small cloth bag.
Mo Qingcheng glanced down, her eyes narrowing...
