Although the mother and son were hungry and cold while they were with the slave trader, they were actually quite at peace.
Because we no longer have to worry about debt collectors coming here to cause trouble.
"Then... Stone, eat more food from now on, grow up quickly, and protect your mother, okay?"
Wei Yuyan thought that if it weren't for the child, Yu Niang would have been freed long ago.
"Hmm~".
Shi Tou nodded heavily. He would definitely protect his mother and never let anyone bully her again.
“Stone, come with me to my home to pick up my younger brothers and sisters, let’s bring them all here.”
Seeing that it was almost time, Wu Chen prepared to go pick up his eldest sister and the children, and also teach Shi Tou how to drive a carriage.
"good".
Stone obediently followed Wu Chen out the door.
"Boss lady, where's the stone?"
Yu Niang got up, but couldn't find the stone in the room, so she asked Wei Yuyan.
"You went to pick someone up with Wu Chen, why did you only sleep for a short while?"
Wei Yuyan checked the time; it was still early, at least half an hour before she could go out to sell steamed buns.
"I've had enough sleep; I don't need as much sleep as I'm getting older."
Yu Niang casually began tidying up the tables, chairs, and benches in the steamed bun shop, arranging them neatly.
"Are your new clothes ready?"
Wei Yuyan noticed that she was still wearing tattered clothes and asked her.
"The stone one is done, but I'm not in a hurry for mine. I'll do it tomorrow when I have time."
Yu Niang responded immediately.
"Yes, don't be sad. You'll have new clothes every year from now on, both thin and thick."
Wei Yuyan cleaned up the sunflower seed shells; she felt a little thirsty after eating them.
"Please have some tea."
Yu Niang has already come to pour the tea.
"Sister-in-law~".
"Auntie~".
Hearing the voices of a group of children, Wei Yuyan knew that things were going to get lively, with Yueyue making a total of seven children.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here too."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua walked in happily.
"Children, slow down when you're playing. Sister Xiuhua is pregnant, you know?"
Wei Yuyan quickly gave an explanation.
"Come on, come on, I'll take you out to play."
Brother Licai and Sister-in-law Zhang also got up. Seeing that the children had all come over, they wanted to take them out to play.
"Hey girl, I'll go sell myself tonight, you go have fun."
Seeing that the steamed buns were ready, Sister-in-law Zhang offered to sell them.
"No need. Tonight, just the three of us—Wu Chen, Chen Yu, and I—are enough to sell."
You must be tired this morning. Take the children and go play.
Xiao Lei and Qian Qian followed their older sister and sister-in-law Xiu Hua, and would stroll around and then find a teahouse to visit.
Wei Yuyan put twenty coins in each of the children's pockets.
"I'll help you, Stone, go have fun."
Yu Niang refused to go no matter what, so Wei Yuyan had no choice but to let her come along. Since there were four of them, they decided to split into two stalls to sell the goods.
"Half for each of us, let's go."
Wu Chen used a horse-drawn cart to transport the steamed buns over, and then carried them down.
"Selling steamed buns! Steaming hot steamed buns!"
………………
At this moment, there were quite a few people by the river and on the streets, and the aroma of Wei Yuyan's steamed buns attracted everyone.
People kept coming to buy steamed buns, and Wei Yuyan felt that time was passing quickly; before she knew it, it was dark.
"Look, fireworks!"
Brilliant fireworks danced in the sky, and it was only then that Wei Yuyan and the others finally caught their breath.
"How much is left?"
Wei Yuyan hoped to finish work early and join in the fun.
"There are about thirty left. Boss lady, you go ahead and have some fun. I can sell these few by myself."
Now, only one or two people come to buy things intermittently, and one person can handle it all, so Yu Niang told her to go play.
"I'll go see how their sales are going."
Wei Yuyan and Yu Niang were by the river, while Wu Chen and her brother-in-law were on the street. Wei Yuyan was about to go and check on them.
The brightly lit streets were lined with stalls selling food, drinks, toys, and accessories.
There are many beautiful lanterns, but the lotus lanterns are the most beautiful.
"Hey little sister, are you sold out?"
Chen Yu was somewhat surprised.
"It can't be that fast. There are still twenty or thirty left. What about you guys?"
Wei Yuyan noticed that their business seemed to be doing better than the business by the river.
"We have more than ten left, almost done."
Chen Yu was pleased to see that the stock was almost sold out.
"Once they're sold out, you and Yu Niang can go play with them. Wu Chen and I will take the wooden buckets back."
Wei Yuyan knew that her brother-in-law must be worried that it was not safe for her older sister to walk here with Yueyue in her arms.
After she finished speaking, Wei Yuyan returned to the riverbank and continued selling steamed buns with Yu Niang. After about 15 minutes, there were only four steamed buns left.
"Yu Yan, are they sold out yet?"
Wu Chen has arrived.
There are four left.
Wei Yuyan pouted, "Why aren't they sold out yet?"
"It's just right that the four of us can each have one."
Wu Chen picked up the steamed buns and handed them to everyone.
"Mmm, it's delicious."
The steamed bun in Wei Yuyan's hand is a spicy and fragrant one with stir-fried pork and chili peppers.
"Go home, you guys go have fun, I'll be there in a bit."
Wu Chen quickly loaded all the wooden barrels onto the carriage and urged the three of them to hurry up and join the fun.
"I'll stay with you."
Wei Yuyan got into the carriage. The fireworks were over, and there wasn't much excitement left. She was a little tired after standing for so long.
"What's wrong? You must be tired?"
Wu Chen noticed that Wei Yuyan seemed listless.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I've done this, and I'm still not used to it."
