Chapter 40: Do You Want to Make Friends?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Xiaolian smiled proudly. "I know a lot. How about it? Do you want to be friends with me?"
A barrier was erected in Su Jingchen's heart. He felt that Yu Xiaolian was plotting something against him, but he couldn't understand. What was there for her to scheme against?
Seeing that Su Jingchen was deep in thought, Yu Xiaolian directly pulled his hand and placed the pill in his palm. She sat on Jiang Lin's ox cart and left.
"Xiaolian, who was that person just now? Was it a man or a woman?"
Good lord, Jiang Lin was even more ruthless. He could not even tell if it was a man or a woman.
Was Su Jingchen that weird? So weird that he could not be differentiated between a man and woman?
"A man!"
"A man? A man has to cover his face. What a sissy."
"Pfft…" Yu Xiaolian couldn't help but laugh. After all, there was no such thing as a dust mask in ancient times.
They drove the ox cart to the east of the market and saw Madam Sun standing on her tiptoes and looking around. She looked in their direction and saw many things on the ground.
The things Madam Sun bought were all discussed with Yu Xiaolian in advance. She could take out the things in the space openly, use them and refill them indefinitely. Therefore, Madam Sun only bought a small amount of each.
It looked like a lot, but the quantity was actually small. It was filled with wrapping paper.
After carrying the things Madam Sun bought into the car, the three of them prepared to go home.
Yu Xiaolian specially asked Jiang Lin where his favorite pastry shop was. When she passed by the pastry shop, she ran to buy two catties of pastries for Jiang Lin.
She didn't buy it at the store. She had it in her interspace.
With Madam Sun's cooperation, she could easily take these things out in a packet of oilskin paper.
As for the oilskin paper, Madam Sun had already bought a thick stack according to Yu Xiaolian's instructions and placed it in the basket on her back. In a while, she just had to secretly put the oilskin paper into her space while Jiang Lin was driving.
Madam Sun had specially bought many small white bottles to separate toothpaste and her favorite snow cream. There was also shower gel and shampoo. As long as these things were changed from their external packaging, no one would be able to tell if these things were modern or ancient.
She put the small white bottles away and took out two pure cotton white towels to put in the basket on her back. She would use them to wipe his face in the future.
He took out three small white porcelain spoons and three ordinary porcelain cups without patterns. Washing powder, ladies' underwear, dried fruits, candied fruits, a large bag of eggs, and fruit candy…
Yu Xiaolian's divine sense shuttled back and forth between the ox cart and the space. She was very busy.
She was like a diligent bee, afraid that she would not get everything.
Yes, she took out two thin electric blankets and cut off the wires. One was for a single person, and the other was for two. When the weather turned cold in a few days, she would lay one for Madam Sun and Yu Changhe.
Her supermarket only had this kind of electric blanket and not normal blankets.
Although she was not afraid of the cold, that was only for a certain period of time. Her body had activated the protective mechanism. If someone put her in a fridge to freeze for a few days, she would definitely freeze to death.
Old Madam Yu didn't allow them to eat the vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard, so they ate wild vegetables the most. Yu Xiaolian had long wanted to eat something like eggplants, beans, and cucumbers.
Yes, she put them all in the basket.
Only when Madam Sun stopped her hand and shook her head did Yu Xiaolian stop.
Sigh, she really wanted to use everything openly.
She wondered if Yu Changhe would say that they were spending money recklessly after they 'bought' so many things.
Yu Xiaolian had once told Madam Sun that she wanted to lay her cards on the table with Yu Changhe. After all, Yu Changhe was so good to her that he would definitely not betray her.
However, Madam Sun said that if Yu Changhe had money, he would think of Old Madam Yu. He would think that he ate well, but his parents were poor. Yu Changhe would definitely not ignore her.
If Old Madam Yu found out that they had money or that they had such a supermarket space, this family would definitely not be quiet. Perhaps with a tremble of Old Madam Yu's mouth, the entire village would know.
Yu Xiaolian felt that Madam Sun definitely knew Yu Changhe and Old Madam Yu better than she did. It was definitely not wrong to listen to her.
Jiang Lin kept driving the ox cart and sent them to the Yu family's door.
It was noon, and there was no one in the courtyard. Old Madam Yu was probably taking an afternoon nap at this moment. Madam Sun carried her basket and entered her house.
Yu Changhe was not around. He had probably gone up the mountain to cut willow branches.
Madam Sun took out everything one by one. She put away certain things and took out what she needed.
Yu Xiaolian took advantage of Yu Changhe's absence to fill up the rice bag. She then took out a bag of five catties and poured it into Madam Sun's newly bought bag.
Madam Sun had gotten a catty of vegetable seed oil from the oil press, but there was only a little in the jar. Yu Xiaolian opened a bucket of non-genetically modified vegetable seed oil and poured it into the jar.
Madam Sun stopped her and said, "Alright, alright. Your father is easy to fool. It would be bad if your grandmother came to our house and searched."
Yu Xiaolian took out another lock with six small keys on it. "In the future, when we're not at home, lock the door and don't let my grandmother in."
Madam Sun saw something new again. "This is a lock? Why is it like this?"
Yu Xiaolian showed Madam Sun how to use the lock. Madam Sun said that it was simple and useful, "But… we don't seem to have this kind of lock?"
"Mother, don't you know how to lie? Just say that a Western merchant in town sold it. Say everything that can't be explained this way."
"What if they ask where the Western merchant's shop is?"
"Just say that he's a businessman. After clearing the goods in his hands, he left."
Madam Sun smiled and nodded. This was a good idea. Let's do it.
In that case, she didn't have to bother to split her toothpaste and toothbrush. She could use them openly. After all, they were sold by Western merchants.
Yu Xiaolian and Madam Sun hit it off immediately and happily walked around the room.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside the house. Yu Xiaolian looked out of the window and saw that it was actually Yu Changfu who had brought Madam Cao back. However, she did not see Yu Ziyi.
As soon as Madam Cao returned, Old Madam Yu began to curse, "I took some copper coins from you and it's as if I want your life. How dare you return to your parents' house? Do you still want your Zishu to continue studying?
"How can you throw all the work at home and outside to an old lady like me?"
Father Yu said, "Alright, she just came back. Don't scold her away again."
After scolding her away, there was no one to cook or wash clothes.
"I've been feeding chickens, pigs, cooking, and washing clothes for the past few days. I'm exhausted. I can't even mutter a few words."
Old Madam Yu was happy that Madam Cao had returned, but she was very unhappy with Madam Cao's provocation.
Father Yu looked at Madam Cao. "Don't be like your mother. All these years, you know that she cries when she's tired. Why didn't Brother Yi come back with you?"
Yu Ziyi was in the village of Lady Cao's maiden family. He had taken a fancy to a girl and circled around her house every day. Whenever she had work to do, he would be the first to rush out to do it. When Lady Cao asked him to go home, he did not return. His son was old and could not be helped by his mother. Lady Cao had no choice but to come back herself.
"Brother Yi will be staying at his grandma's house for a while."
"Oh." Father Yu did not think too much about it. "In the next few days, prepare for Changyu's engagement with your mother so that you can settle the marriage with the Qi family as soon as possible."
"Father, what Miss Qi wants is a betrothal gift of twenty taels. How do we find the money to give her a gift now?"
