Chapter 50: Soaring Vegetable Prices



night.

After returning home from school, the little girl chattered with Song Qianning about what happened in school.

Compared to the chattering little girl, Da Wang was much quieter, standing aside and responding from time to time.

Song Qianning glanced at the sky outside, patted Xiaoya's head, and said, "You guys play in the yard for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to cook."

Seeing Song Qianning go to the kitchen to cook, Da Wang, who had been quiet all the time, followed her and went to the kitchen together.

Behind him, Xiaoya also followed her brother and walked towards the kitchen together: "Xiaoya also wants to help mother."

Without waiting for Song Qianning to say anything, Da Wang took the dishes she was going to cook and started picking them seriously with his little face.

Next to her, the little girl followed suit and pinched off the yellow tips at the top of the leaves.

Seeing that the two cubs were working seriously and picking vegetables was not a tiring job, Song Qianning let them do it.

While the two cubs were picking vegetables, Song Qianning asked casually while lighting the fire, "Da Wang, Xiao Ya, what did you learn in school today?"

Facing Song Qianning's question, Dawang put the selected dishes aside and answered honestly: "The teacher in the school taught us to recognize the characters and also taught us to write those characters."

The other female cub also nodded, stretched out her little hand, and counted carefully: "The teacher taught us several characters today, including the character for 'person', the character for 'one', and..."

After Xiaoya finished speaking about the characters she had learned today, she raised her head again and asked for praise: "The characters that the teacher taught us were taught by the teacher my mother hired before. Xiaoya and my brother were praised by the teacher."

"Xiao Ya is awesome." Song Qianning praised her politely, and added, "Da Wang is awesome too."

After talking about the characters they learned today, Da Wang looked troubled for a moment before saying, "Mom, when the parents of my classmate from the academy came to pick him up today, they said that the prices of vegetables on the street have gone up recently."

"It's not just the streets near our home, but also the other streets. All the vegetable stalls have raised their prices a lot."

After a pause, Da Wang continued, "Although we have money at home now, it's only Mom who earns money. My sister and I can't make money and have to save money. We have a big yard, would you like to grow vegetables in the small vegetable garden?"

Today, when Song Qianning came back from fishing by the river, she learned about the soaring vegetable prices from the conversation between the vendors and passers-by.

She originally thought this was an isolated phenomenon, but after listening to her son, it seemed that all vegetable vendors had raised their prices.

While the fire was burning, Song Qianning supported her chin and began to think.

The Song family still had a lot of money left, and she had also made some money from selling fried fish recently, so it wouldn't be spent all in a short time.

However, what Xiong Zaizai said does make some sense. Planting some vegetables can be a precautionary measure and save a lot of trouble. In the future, you don't have to go to the street to buy vegetables when you cook.

Thinking of this, Song Qianning immediately made a decision: "Okay, I'll take some time to plant some vegetables in the vegetable garden some other day."

It doesn’t take much effort to grow vegetables anyway.

Seeing that Song Qianning agreed, Dawang added: "I can help my mother grow vegetables."

The little girl beside her looked at her mother, then at her brother, and said, "Little girl also wants to help mother plant vegetables."

After picking the vegetables, the two cubs did not go out, but stayed in the kitchen to help Song Qianning pass the firewood.

"Did the teacher assign any homework today?"

"Yes." Xiaoya shook her head: "But Xiaoya and her brother have finished it."

Immediately afterwards, Song Qianning learned from the little girl's chatter that the school would be closed tomorrow and there would be no classes.

It just so happened that Song Qianning had nothing to do tomorrow. After thinking for a while, she decided to take the two cubs out with her tomorrow.

At the same time, Chunyue Tower.

Song Wanyu sat in the room, glaring impatiently at the little maid who was massaging her. "You can't even give me a good massage. It's like you haven't eaten. If you can't do it again, I'll have Mom sell you off."

The little maid shuddered and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Miss Wanyu, I know I was wrong. Please don't tell my mother."

Unhappy, Song Wanyu kicked the little maid. Just then, Wantao came in from outside with a happy face: "Miss Wanyu, there is great news."

Ignoring the little maid on the ground, Song Wanyu looked at Wantao: "What good news?"

"A high-ranking official has come to our Chunyue Tower, and mother specifically asked you, Miss Wanyu, to serve him."

As she spoke, Wan Tao lowered her voice and leaned close to Song Wanyu's ear: "It is said that the senior official is quite prestigious."

Hearing this, Song Wanyu's eyes lit up and she grabbed Wantao's arm: "Are you serious?!"

“Truer than gold.”

Impatiently driving out the little maid who was kowtowing and begging for mercy on the ground, Song Wanyu immediately ordered Wantao to dress her up and even took out her most precious jewelry.

Helping Song Wanyu put a hairpin on her head, Wan Tao said in a flattering tone, "Miss Wanyu, you are more beautiful than the fairies in the sky when you are dressed like this. That master will definitely like you very much."

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Song Wanyu's eyes flashed with pride.

At the same time, the madam of Chunyue Tower came in hurriedly from outside. Song Wanyu stood up and said, "Mom, I'm ready. When are we going to see that master?"

Looking at Song Wanyu with satisfaction, the madam twisted her waist and led the way in front of her, all the way to the outside of a room.

Before Song Wanyu went in, she specifically reminded him, "If you can please this master, you will definitely receive many benefits."

Finally, he whispered a few words to her.

Song Wanyu became increasingly agitated and hugged the madam's hand: "Don't worry, Mom. I will never embarrass you."

Thinking of the high-ranking official she was about to serve, Song Wanyu's heart was pounding with excitement. After entering, she looked at the man on the bed with affection: "Sir~"

Glancing at Song Wanyu, the man said arrogantly, "Come and serve me."

After learning that the man's surname was Li, and remembering the madam's instructions, Song Wanyu leaned against him like a boneless person and massaged his shoulders: "Master Li, Yu'er felt that you were different from those ordinary people the moment she saw you..."

Under Song Wanyu's deliberate flattery, a surge of evil fire rose in Lord Li's belly, and he pushed her directly onto the bed.

Soon, ambiguous panting sounds were heard from under the tent.

The next morning, Song Wanyu leaned softly in Lord Li's arms, her cheeks flushed pink, and she said in a coquettish voice, "Lord Li is not only handsome, but also has a strong and powerful figure."

Reaching out and caressing Song Wanyu, Master Li noticed the sadness on the beautiful woman's face. Feeling comfortable and at ease with the care, he asked, "Who made Yu'er unhappy?"

After an awkward refusal, Song Wanyu frowned and said, "Yu'er has an older sister. She took advantage of my father's love and not only took away our family wealth, but also drove Yu'er, my father's concubine out of the house."

Seeing the beauty in tears, Lord Li's heart was once again stirred. He waved his hand and said directly: "How could there be such a hateful person in this world? Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
