The contract not only specified the price of the candy and his commission, but also stated that Mo Qianshang would give him ten taels of silver for the renovation of the shop's facade and interior.
"Young lady, this won't do..."
Mo Qianshang put down the ten taels of silver: "It's fine. Consider it my investment in your shop. It's written on the contract that this silver is a gift, and you don't have to pay it back no matter how your business performs in the future."
Meng Zhuo was even more frightened. Mo Qianshang was also at a loss with his temper, so she simply asked him for a basket and poured all nine catties of sugar from her own basket into it: "There are nine catties of sugar. I'll put it here first. You don't need to sign the contract yet. You can go back and think about it carefully. I will come to town from time to time recently. You can tell me whenever you have thought it through."
This time, she didn't argue with Meng Zhuo: "I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer today. If you've made up your mind, you can use this money immediately without telling me, but you must keep track of how it's used and it must be used for shop repairs."
After saying these words, she quickly left; otherwise, given Meng Zhuo's personality, she might have lingered there for much longer.
After she came out, Xiao Yaoshi and the children were waiting for her at the door. Although Mo Qianshang told them to wander around as they pleased, Xiao Yaoshi was timid and didn't dare to take the children to run around, so she just looked at the nearby stalls and waited for her there.
They were all curious about what Mo Qianshang had gone to do. Mo Qianshang said that she had bought some snacks, but did not mention the candy.
This time, she hired a cart again to buy things from various shops and stalls, and bought a lot of brown rice, which puzzled Xiao Yao.
“This isn’t for us to eat ourselves, it’s for the people who are building our house. Our place is up in the mountains, and it’s very inconvenient to get around. People who want to come and work can only bring some dry food. It’s better if we make them something hot so they can work properly.”
Little Yao felt sorry for them, but seeing that it was all brown rice and coarse flour, she didn't say much. She then followed Mo Qianshang to buy some meat and vegetables for her family.
Thinking about how to nourish the children, Mo Qianshang even bought some bones at a low price, planning to make soup when she got home.
She managed to fatten up all the people around her, making them all plump and healthy.
As Mo Qianshang walked, she saw the fabric shop again: "By the way, I came by myself last time and didn't know what to buy or how much to buy. Now that you're here, let's go in and take a look."
Little Yao quickly grabbed Mo Qianshang's sleeve: "No need, that amount of fabric is enough to make clothes!"
Mo Qianshang grabbed her hand and said, "Why don't you need it? I bought clothes last time, but I didn't buy underwear or shoes and socks. Let's go."
As soon as she entered the fabric shop, the shopkeeper recognized Mo Qianshang. She had only been there a few days ago and was still wearing the same clothes.
Seeing that she had brought another person and a child with her this time, she knew that she was here to buy something again: "Oh, Madam Mo is here again? Are you going to buy the same fabric as last time?"
Mo Qianshang had compared prices before, and this fabric shop had reasonable prices and good quality items.
"Yes, I haven't finished using the last batch, but I was thinking of buying some shoe-making materials. Could the shopkeeper recommend something?"
The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and introduced each item one by one. Mo Qianshang didn't mind spending a few coins, so she chose items that were comfortable and durable, but not too flashy in style.
Especially these shoes, they must be sturdy and comfortable underfoot, otherwise if your feet are uncomfortable, your whole body will feel uncomfortable.
After buying everything, she had the cart go to where the carriage was, and then she let go and played with the children.
When the time was almost up, they returned to Uncle Niu's place.
"Oh, Lady Mo has arrived first." Uncle Niu was sitting in the carriage, drinking water. "Come on, get in and rest for a while!"
Mo Qianshang and Xiao Yaoshi first reported the children to the carriage. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she heard someone across the way shouting about silk flower hair ties.
Mo Qianshang glanced at Qianya's little head, then turned and went to the other side.
"Young lady, would you like to buy a hair tie?"
Mo Qianshang bought a few stems and two silk flowers.
To be honest, she couldn't understand the aesthetics of these silk flowers, but along the way, she saw that only women who were dressed slightly better wore silk flower jewelry, so buying two for Xiao Yao wouldn't be bad.
She returned to the oxcart and gave the hair tie to Qianya. However, Qianya was too young to understand that the hair tie was pretty, but she didn't know how to comb her hair or use it herself. She just held it in her hand and fiddled with it.
Little Yao loved silk flowers very much, but she was reluctant to wear them. Besides, her current simple clothes made it inappropriate for her to wear silk flowers.
Liu Xiaoyun is a grown woman now, and when she was given one of the silk flowers, she felt embarrassed to wear it.
When the time came and everyone was present, the oxcart set off, with Mo Qianshang holding Qianya and sitting on her lap.
Looking at her from across the way, Xiao Yao chuckled as she thought of something: "I must say, you're beautiful, and Qianya is a lovely and clever child. You two really do look alike!"
Xiao Yao knew that Qianya was not her biological daughter, which is why she said that. She meant that although they were not actually mother and daughter, they looked surprisingly alike.
But the others in the carriage didn't know, and Aunt Shen chimed in from the side: "That's right, other people's daughters all resemble their fathers, but your daughter looks like you, so she's very lucky. She'll definitely be a rare beauty when she grows up!"
No matter what age or personality a woman is, she will never be unhappy when others compliment her on her looks.
Mo Qianshang turned Qianya around and held her in her arms. The mother and daughter looked at each other with big eyes and long eyelashes. Although Qianya was young, you could tell that she had a small nose and a high nose bridge.
Mo Qianshang couldn't resist giving Qianya a big kiss on the cheek, thinking that this child was going to melt her heart with cuteness!
If this really is her daughter, I wish it were so sweet and adorable, she's like a little angel. I wonder if being a mom without pain is really this wonderful?
Qianya was delighted to be treated so intimately. She put away the hair tie in her hand and stretched out her arms to hug Mo Qianshang's neck: "Mother, kiss me!"
Mo Qianshang looked down and her daughter kissed her on the cheek. She immediately thought of petting other people's cats, and the feeling of cuteness in her heart was about to burst out.
Damn it! Even if Qianya's biological father comes back, can't she just detain this daughter?!
Qin Heming and the others watched as Mo Qianshang hugged her sister, and they didn't know which side to envy more.
They also want to be hugged by their mother and younger sister, but they are different from their sister and cannot act like girls.
Once Mo Qianshang hugged her, she didn't want to let go. Holding her soft daughter in her arms was a special feeling, as the child was too young to handle. Once the child grew up, the feeling wouldn't be the same.
Seeing how good the mother and son's relationship was, Aunt Shen was very envious: "Oh my, that's so nice. I only have two sons who are good at picking fights, and I really envy other people's daughters."
She sighed, while another uncle burst out laughing: "Others are envious of you. People just don't think about anything!"
