But before Li Mengyue paid for it, the cheerful voice of the Little Foodie System rang in her mind again.
[Host, it's a candied haws. I heard it tastes sour and sweet. I really want to try it.]
Sometimes Li Mengyue wondered why she was bound to a foodie system that would pop up at any time as long as she touched food.
[Okay, stop being so frivolous, I'll buy you a bunch.]
【Ah! Only one string. Well, something is better than nothing.】
Li Mengyue ignored the system and asked the vendor to buy four strings of candied haws, one for each of the twin brothers.
"Sister, I'd rather not eat this expensive candied haws. I'll leave it for your sister."
Mingyu heard from the adults that his sister used to be a rich lady. He didn't know how rich ladies lived, but he knew it was definitely not the same as his own family.
Now that my sister is back, there is no money at home and we cannot buy her delicious food. Therefore, we have to save the delicious food for her.
"Eat it. I can even let you eat one less candied haws."
Li Mengyue saw Mingyu's dilemma, but she didn't intend to point it out.
"Yes, brother, sister told us to eat, so we just eat it, otherwise sister will be angry."
Li Minghao took the candied haws and couldn't wait to take a bite. He felt so happy as he tasted the candied haws that other children had mentioned.
The three of them continued walking, eating candied haws. Seeing that someone liked the snack, they would buy some. After walking down the street, the three of them were all stuffed. Even so, there was still a lot left, which Li Mengyue planned to take back for her parents.
However, when shopping, Li Mengyue not only took her two younger brothers to eat, but also consciously bought daily necessities.
Since the family had not split up and they were still eating from the same pot, they did not buy rice, flour, grain, oil, etc. Instead, they each bought three quilts, one for their parents, one for the twins, and the rest for themselves.
Although there was only one bed in her room, Li Mengyue noticed that there were vacant rooms in the Li family compound. She went back to find one and lived there temporarily until the family was divided and a house was built.
The owner of a shop selling bedding and clothes was sitting on a chair behind the counter as usual. There was no customer in the shop and he was just feeling bored when he heard a sweet sound like a clear spring.
"Boss, how much would it cost to buy three quilts like this?"
The shop owner looked up and saw a little girl and two children came into the shop.
"Oh! One ounce of silver."
"Hiss, it's so expensive. Sister, we won't buy it. We can still use the bedding at home." Li Mingyu heard the price. Even though he didn't have a clear concept of money, he knew that one or two taels of silver was too much.
You should know that one time, my third uncle bought a book and it got wet by accident. He put it on a stool in the yard to dry. I took a look at it out of curiosity, and then my grandmother grabbed my ear and scolded me, saying that this book cost one or two taels of silver and that I, a little bastard, was not worthy of reading it.
One tael of silver can buy a precious book, but it is a waste to buy bedding.
Li Mengyue didn't quite understand why one or two taels of silver was so expensive to buy a set of bedding. It might be because she had never worried about money before.
So he ignored Li Mingyu's little thoughts and asked the boss's wife for three brand new quilts.
We bought some things, including bedding, two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for each person.
Although buying cloth to make it would save a lot, Li Mengyue knew that her parents were definitely no match for Old Lady Li, and the cloth she bought might even be taken away by Old Lady Li.
In order to avoid trouble, she would buy ready-made clothes at one step.
Li Mengyue saw that there were a lot of things to buy, and her two younger brothers were too small to carry so many things. She was strong enough and had a lot of food in her hands, so she asked the store owner if they could deliver it to the ox cart in front of the Xintang Pharmacy.
The shop owner didn't expect to sell so many things at once today, and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. When he heard Li Mengyue's request for delivery, he quickly agreed and promised that all of them would be delivered, so she could rest assured.
After leaving the clothing store, Li Mengyue saw that it was almost time, so she took her two younger brothers and rushed to Xintang.
Just as he walked to the door of the Xintang Hall, he heard his mother's voice praying. She told his two younger brothers to go to Grandpa Lao Gen and wait first.
She walked quickly into the hall without hesitation. Seeing the situation inside, even she, who was usually calm, could not help but get furious.
