Ah-Yao still didn’t quite understand.

His memories hadn’t even started yet, let alone experienced the bitterness of life.

His parents fed him most delicately. Even when he was about to feed him soup, they had to scoop off the oil slick, the vegetables had to be chopped up, and the chicken breast had to be boiled before it entered Ah-Yao’s mouth.

He was smart and well-behaved, but he was also very scheming.

He just never suffered “hard work” in his life before.

There were still many things he didn’t understand. Han Qiao may have lectured him twice, but he didn’t pay attention to it because he was still young.

But after this trip, Han Qiao knew that although her son was young, he was very scheming.

“Ah-Yao, did you see that roasted sweet potato?” Han Qiao carried Ah-Yao.

This child ate well and was very strong. He was a little heavy to carry.

Ah-Yao nodded, then shook his head, “It’s not tasty.”

This kid. He still remembered the sweet potato he ate yesterday, but he doesn’t remember being scolded.

“Oh, you.”

Han Qiao kissed Ah-Yao.

Ah-Yao giggled.

However, his eyes immediately noticed the hot pancakes sold in one of the stalls. He wanted to eat them.

It was the kind of food Han Qiao would not allow him to eat. It was too hot for his mouth to handle. It wouldn’t taste as good when it cooled down.

But, she gave the purse to Ah-Yao.

Ah-Yao tore open the purse forcefully and looked at the few copper coins inside. Then his eyes were immediately attracted to a snow-white fox in a cage.

“Mother, cat! Cat!”

Han Qiao could tell at a glance that it was not a cat but a fox.

She didn’t want to bring the animal home.

But Ah-Yao kept asking.

The money in the purse was definitely not enough. Han Qiao asked Ah-Yao to take out all the money to buy the fox. Cui Guo immediately and secretly handed a tael of silver to the hunter.

“Thank you, Marchioness! Thank you, Marchioness!”

Although the white foxes were precious, they weren’t worth that much money.

Especially in Guizhou, where the disaster had just passed, many people were displaced. Many of the people Han Qiao bought were from Guizhou.

Those who had some ability to hunt, yet refused to join the military, could make a living through hunting in the nearby mountains. However, the white fox had been put up for sale for several days, and nobody had bought it.

Everyone was a little anxious.

Seeing that there was no money left in his purse, Ah-Yao acted cutely towards Han Qiao. “Mother, it’s gone!”

“If we don’t have any money left, let’s just wander around. We won’t buy anything.”

Ah-Yao nodded at first.

However, there were all kinds of things sold at the vegetable market. Ah-Yao quickly found many things he had never seen before.

He wanted this and that, but he found that no matter how cute he acted, his mother wouldn’t buy it for him.

He understood one thing: nothing could be bought without money.

He angrily glared at her with his big watery eyes, “Mother is bad.”

“If I don’t buy it for you, then I’m bad. Then do you know how hard it is to make money?”

Han Qiao didn’t immediately take Ah-Yao home. Instead, they went to the workshop to help check the cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

She asked Ah-Yao to pass the rope to one of the working aunties.

At the end of that small errand, the aunt in charge gave Ah-Yao two copper coins.

Ah-Yao’s eyes widened in shock.

He didn’t know what two coopers could buy. But he got money.

“Our Ah-Yao is amazing. He knows how to work and earn money.”

Ah-Yao was also dancing happily.

He kept asking Han Qiao to take him shopping.

But what could two coppers buy?

One meat bun, two steamed buns.

He was also a little hungry. He smelled the hot wontons and couldn’t walk anymore, “Mother, that smells good!”

Han Qiao carried him and sat down.

“One bowl of wontons, please.”

“Alright, wait a moment.”

The wontons were quickly served to Han Qiao and Ah-Yao.

Han Qiao scooped a few into a small bowl for Ah-Yao and blew on it to cool it for him to eat.

Ah-Yao scooped up the wonton with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth before bringing his spoon to Han Qiao’s mouth.. “Mother, eat!”
