Chapter 191 Mother, Don’t Think So Much
Except for little Yuanbao who slept twice, everyone else hardly slept the whole night. At daybreak, everything was settled, and Cai took the children home.
Manager Ji of Four Seasons Grain Store promised to provide Cai's family with a year's worth of food, but Cai, at Dabao's instruction, refused.
"No need. Your grain store has also suffered a lot of losses. We have a lot of grain coupons at home, and we can't eat them all. Besides, you bought the talisman drawn by my daughter, and spent more than ten taels. This is not a harming evil ghost or something. It's not a big deal for my little Yuanbao. Next time you have something to do, come to us. You don't need to collect grain this time."
Shopkeeper Ji sighed and said that Xiao Yuanbao's family were really good people.
It was said that she could summon ghost soldiers, kill hundreds of bandits, save villagers, and also put up many amulets. She was the reincarnation of Bodhisattva. He didn't believe it before. Businessmen thought that profit was the most important thing in this world and nothing would happen without profit. It turned out that there were people who did not ask for anything in return. She was really the reincarnation of Bodhisattva and had accumulated great virtue and kindness.
On the way back, the beggar boy still drove the carriage.
Cai was sitting in the car holding her daughter. After the daughter had eaten and drunk her fill, she took a nap in the tiger.
Sanbao couldn't hold on any longer, the work was done, and he was dozing off, but he wasn't sleeping soundly.
Only Cai was in a complicated mood, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
She just found out today that her children were not actually Mr. Tang’s children!
And she is the second wife of Tang Laosi. If the children are not Tang Laosi's children, then is she, the stepmother, still a legitimate stepmother? In the future, when the biological parents of the children come to her house, what will she do?
"Sanbao, do you still remember your biological parents? How come you were adopted by Mr. Tang? The old Tang family thought you were really their children..."
Sanbao opened his eyes and said, "Mom, don't think too much. We don't even remember who our real parents are! We only recognize you as our real mother."
Cai consoled herself, "How can that be possible? We are blood relatives. If your parents come to visit you one day and need you, you can go back with them. Don't worry about me. If I am the only one left, I am not afraid. I still have a place to go. I can go back to my parents' home..."
San Bao immediately said seriously, "Mother, what are you talking about? My biological parents must have died a long time ago, otherwise, I would not be left alone at such a young age, hanging out with my elder brother and second brother. My sister and I are both like that, and my elder brother and his family are orphans. How could there be any biological parents coming to our house? Even if they came back to life and came to our house, I would only recognize you. If they didn't raise me, what kind of parents are they? Giving birth to a child but not raising him is a bad person! We will live with mother forever, mother, please don't abandon us on your own. If I can't find mother by then, I will not live anymore. I will just run into a wall and die. Without mother, what's the point of living..."
This made Cai laugh.
"Mother is just teasing you, don't talk nonsense. Don't worry about life or death. As long as you don't abandon mother, mother will never leave you. Mother will definitely watch you grow up, get married, and help you raise your grandchildren..."
Although Sanbao's words are not very reliable and are just nonsense.
However, the meaning of the expression completely put Cai at ease.
She was overthinking it.
She treats the children sincerely, and the children treat her sincerely too.
That's enough.
Who cares about the future?
Who knows what will happen in the future?
No matter how the world changes, the feelings between people will not change. Even if it really comes to the end and the children want to leave, she has a way out. She can go back to the Cai family. Cai the peddler will probably still take her in. She has hands and feet, can cook, is healthy, and will not starve to death.
As soon as Cai figured it out, he was immediately full of energy again.
When the sky is just getting light, the morning market in Baili Town is at its busiest.
Cai asked the beggar boy to stop his carriage, and she went to the morning market to buy twenty chicks, ten ducklings, and one goose.
Go home and raise it.
Now is the time to raise these. Raise them for a year, and at the end of the year, kill them and eat the meat.
Normally, we can eat eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs. Eggs are good things. There are so many children in the family, so we can make as many eggs as we want.
As soon as the chick got on the carriage, little Yuanbao woke up.
She was very happy. "Wow, Mommy, the chicks are so cute! The ducklings are cute too, and the goose is the fattest..."
"Yes, when they grow up, they will lay eggs for us Yuanbao to eat..."
“Yeah!”
After returning home, Cai locked the chicks in the chicken shed in the backyard.
Little Yuanbao and Little Baimao squatted in the chicken coop and watched, not going anywhere, so Cai just let her do as she pleased.
When I returned to the village, it was already bright. The villagers had all gotten up and were cooking. Chickens and dogs were barking in every household, and there was a familiar rural atmosphere.
Cai and her friends had already had breakfast in the grocery store and did not cook. Sanbao could not stand it any longer and went to sleep.
The beggar boy accompanied Xiao Yuanbao to look after the chickens in the backyard.
Cai was also preparing to pack up and go to sleep when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
When I opened the door, it was Tang Xiangui who brought a few people. When I asked, he said that they were his wife's family, and they used to grow peaches on the mountain...
Cai quickly asked them to go into the house to talk.
Taoshan was just bought, but the peach blossoms all over the mountain are in bloom and are about to bear fruit, and I’m worried that I can’t find anyone to take care of them.
If you have an experienced person, you don't have to worry about it.
It was introduced by an acquaintance in the village, so you should be able to rest assured.
After asking around, I found out that everything met Cai's requirements, so I tried it for a year and paid them the same salary as before. If the harvest was good, I could increase the salary appropriately.
Country people are not after money, so it’s good enough if they are given food and have enough to eat.

Zhishu Academy.
Not long after the two brothers Dabao and Erbao returned to school, the bell for morning classes rang.
The students got up one after another and started their morning exercises and jogging.
Dabao and Erbao went directly to the playground and waited.
The school's gatekeeper, a middle-aged man dressed in a short shirt and serene, stood not far away, straight and upright.
"Brother, this Master Lu is not only a gatekeeper, he seems to have some kung fu skills as well, and he also works as a security guard in the school. Wouldn't it be better for a man like him to work in a martial arts school or an escort agency? Why did he come to our Zhishu School?" Erbao asked Dabao in a low voice.
At this time, most of the students were still getting up and washing up, and had not yet arrived.
No one is afraid that others will hear what the two brothers are saying.
Dabao only glanced at it and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Who knows? Maybe the salary offered by the school is high?"
"That's right. Although Master Lu is serious, he is easy to talk to..."
As he was speaking, he saw Master Lu stopping a few dishevelled students who had not had time to comb their hair, and scolding them harshly with an iron face.
Erbao silently took back the rest of his words.
Maybe it's because they are good to their brothers!
