"Aunt Dong, I won't give it to you if you don't go."
Yu Mobai smiled and blocked his way, "If you don't go, I might really take it home."
"Where did you learn to be so shameless?"
Dong Muhong glared at him and said, "Old Yu and your mother aren't like that either."
"As for me, I'm a school of my own."
Yu Mobai chuckled and turned slightly to the side. "Aunt Dong, let's go."
He had a good plan; he would use this to trick Dong Muhong into getting into the car.
However, Dong Muhong's actions surprised him; she walked straight towards the side door without looking back.
What's going on?
Yu Mobai was a little dumbfounded.
Dong Yike and he exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. "I'm going back with my mom first. The road is slippery, so drive carefully."
"Aunt Dong, are you really not going to take those New Year's treats? Then I'll take them home and eat them!"
Yu Mobai still planned to make one last struggle, but in the end it was all in vain.
"Holy crap."
As he turned around, his down jacket bumped into a hazelnut basket at a nearby stall, spilling the entire basket of hazelnuts all over the ground.
The ground is already dirty in winter, let alone when it's covered in snow. Once inside the market, the snow melts and turns into black water.
The hazelnuts on the ground were all covered in it.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The stall owner immediately became unhappy, "How am I supposed to sell these hazelnuts now that they've all fallen to the ground?"
Yu Mobai glanced down at the stall owner. He had no time to haggle and said domineeringly, "How much is this per pound? I'll buy it."
"One hundred and twenty per jin, this basket weighs twenty jin."
"That's what the stall owner said."
"Wow, what kind of hazelnuts are so expensive?"
Yu Mobai smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll buy these twenty pounds of hazelnuts. Can you help me put them back in the bag?"
The stall owner was surprised by the young man's straightforwardness and his anger turned to joy. "Okay, okay, right away!"
Yu Mobai stood aside and watched silently. What was he doing, riding a bicycle to a bar? He should save money where he should and spend money where he should.
These hazelnuts are so expensive, there's no reason not to take them home and eat them, since I've already paid for them myself.
If he turns around and leaves, the stall owner will definitely pick it up immediately, wipe it clean, and continue selling it. Wouldn't he be a sucker?
After receiving the money, the stall owner didn't stand on ceremony and directly used a broom to collect all the hazelnuts scattered on the ground into a bag.
Without saying a word, Yu Mobai took it and left.
When he drove back to the residential compound, the mother and daughter were waiting for him at the entrance of their building.
He seemed certain that the man wouldn't dare actually take it home.
Yu Mobai didn't intend to take these New Year's goods home, so he obediently helped carry them upstairs.
But even though it was hard work to please my future mother-in-law, it was worth it.
Just as he was about to enter, Dong Muhong refused him entry, so he had no choice but to take the hazelnuts home.
"What are you carrying? It's all black."
Zheng Zhaoxia saw Yu Mobai as soon as he entered the door.
He started spouting nonsense again, "Mom, you've never seen this before, have you? Let me explain. This is a hazelnut, a specialty of the black soil region. Its main characteristic is its black color."
