Jiang Jiang ate one skewer, and gave the other to Ye Lingyu.
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Qingyan went back and bought all the candied hawthorns from the vendor.
In a few days, Meng Chuying will be back to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
Since we don't go to town often, we buy more so that Jiangjiang and her wife can also have candied hawthorns to eat at home.
Jiangjiang's stomach is nothing like that of a three-year-old!
They want to eat everything they see, and they're never full!
I can afford to feed them, but won't they get sick from eating them?
When she was staring at the pastry shop and couldn't move on, Cheng Qingyan had no choice but to resign herself to buying pastries.
I bought ten portions of each; that should be enough for her.
Handing Jiang Jiang a packet, Cheng Qingyan asked her, "Jiang Jiang, you keep eating and eating, don't you feel your stomach getting too full?"
Jiang Jiang chewed on a pastry and shook her head: "This plum blossom cake is so delicious! I'll have another one!"
It was really unnecessary to ask that question. She's a monster! There's no way she could possibly die from overeating!
Ye Lingyu was also somewhat helpless, but fortunately, she brought Jiangjiang out when living conditions had improved.
If it were a few months ago, she probably would have dug up all the wild vegetables on the mountain, but it still wouldn't have been enough for Jiang Jiang to have one meal.
The prerequisite is that Jiang Jiang has to be willing to eat it.
I bought Jiangjiang several outfits. She's so fair-skinned and looks adorable in everything. Thanks to the shopkeeper's recommendations, I ended up buying too much.
Of course, he also bought some for Ye Lingyu and Meng Chuying, and Cheng Qingyan himself didn't forget to buy some too.
Besides Jiang Jiang who bought four or five sets of clothes, everyone else bought two sets each.
The shopkeeper all know Cheng Qingyan. Every time he comes, he buys several sets of clothes by himself. He's a big customer!
When settling the bill, they gave Cheng Qingyan an extra pair of boots.
Walking through the town, I felt like I was being watched.
At first, Cheng Qingyan thought it was her imagination, but after leaving the town, the feeling of being watched came back, forcing her to take it seriously.
He whispered to Ye Lingyu beside him, "Wife, I feel like we're being watched. Shh, don't turn around, or we'll be discovered."
Ye Lingyu clenched her hands. Who was it? Was it someone sent by her family?
"Ayan, I'll hurry up and get the oxcart. Let's get back quickly. You and Jiangjiang, hold on tight!"
Her voice sounded calm, but her expression was very serious.
Jiang Jiang chimed in with a grin, "Dad, Mom, don't be afraid! There are only three or five of them. Dad can take them all down by himself!"
Cheng Qingyan quickly covered Jiang Jiang's mouth: "Little darling, you'd better shut your mouth! I knew it, you must be a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket that leaks the wind!"
Jiang Jiang looked aggrieved: "Dad, if you say that to Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang will be sad!"
"Go ahead and grieve in silence, and look forward to some good things for your father. My good days have just begun, with a wife, kids, and a warm bed. I don't want to die!"
Ye Lingyu sped up the oxcart, but they had only been out of town for a short while and were still far from home!
Jiang Jiang sighed, "Father, can you stop being so weak? You're not some kind of doctor. Haven't you noticed that you and Mother have become much stronger lately?"
Cheng Qingyan was taken aback: "You found out? But what does it matter? I can't fight!"
"Father, you're too modest. With your current strength, you could easily take down a bull!"
Cheng Qingyan shook her head rapidly: "I don't believe it, you must be lying to me."
Jiang Jiang took a bite of pastry: "The oxcart is about to be overtaken, Father. You'd better find a handy tool quickly, otherwise you'll be catching a blade bare-handed!"
A glance confirmed it: a tattered, drafty cotton-padded coat. Even in this critical moment, Jiang Jiang could still eat.
There were hoes and some weapons in the space, such as the decorative sword in the room.
He casually took out two hoes from his spatial storage, keeping one for himself and placing the other in the car for Ye Lingyu's occasional needs.
If what Jiang Jiang said is true, and she can take care of five people by herself, then we should really thank God.
Cheng Qingyan jumped off the oxcart and urged Ye Lingyu to hurry up.
The reason she didn't put them into the space was because she didn't know if the space would disappear after she died, or if Ye Lingyu would be able to come out.
At least if you run further away, your chances of escaping will be greater.
Ye Lingyu stopped the oxcart, grabbed a hoe, and stood beside Cheng Qingyan.
The five men chasing after them were masked, their gleaming broadswords at their waists were truly eye-catching.
Standing on the oxcart, Jiangjiang shouted, "Father, Mother, don't be afraid! Jiangjiang is here, no one can hurt you. If they dare to come any closer, feel free to swing your hoes!"
Cheng Qingyan was immediately speechless. How could the people chasing after him not hear him when he shouted so loudly?
The five men rode over on horseback, brandishing the large swords that had been hanging at their waists, and without saying a word, they slashed at Cheng Qingyan.
Cheng Qingyan picked up a hoe to fight back, but Ye Lingyu knocked the horse to the ground with a single blow.
Jiangjiang clapped and cheered happily from the oxcart: "Mom is awesome! Dad, left, left, watch out on the left!"
Cheng Qingyan felt that not only were her hands busy, but her ears were also very busy!
After Ye Lingyu swung her hoe and knocked a horse over, she was stunned for a moment. She never imagined that she would have such strength!
No wonder Jiang Jiang was so confident, letting Cheng Qingyan take on five opponents at once.
If Cheng Qingyan knew even a little bit of martial arts, he could easily take on five people at once!
He defeated the five men in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, relying solely on brute force.
Several horses were driven away, and the people were lying on the ground.
Jiang Jiang jumped off the oxcart and went over to kick each of them.
Cheng Qingyan also viciously kicked him, then plunged the knife that was aimed at him into the ground beneath one of the men: "Tell me, who sent you? If you don't talk, I'll cripple you!"
The man was drenched in cold sweat and trembling. Who the hell told them it would be resolved easily? A weak and timid fellow?
One hoe felled a horse; what kind of horse was this, Wenwen Ruoruo?
The knife stuck in his crotch forced him to tell the truth: "We were also acting under orders. You just came out of the pawnshop today, and we were sent to keep an eye on you."
Ugh, what bad luck!
She didn't make a fuss at all! A mere three hundred and fifty taels of silver, and a thief has already set his sights on her?
Cheng Qingyan's face darkened, and he said sternly, "What does your manager intend to do?"
The man trembled like a leaf: "The shopkeeper said that the beads you pawned might only be a small part. According to his deduction, you should have many more pieces of jade for decoration. The shopkeeper said that as long as we can escort you back, we will be well rewarded."
Sure enough, I hate dealing with these cunning and treacherous old foxes!
These seasoned veterans can spot the origin and purpose of things at a glance, and they can even tailor their dishes to the individual!
If this item being pawned today were any familiar face who frequents the town, it wouldn't even attract attention!
