From beginning to end, Jin Qianqian hadn't noticed that the little boy who had been silently following her all the way had silently turned and left.
Holding the keys, she pushed the door open. "Little Donkey, go eat some grass yourself. When my husband comes back, I'll have him take the cart off your back. I can't lift it by myself."
"HEE-HAW! HEE-HAW! HEE-HAW!"
"It's no use even if you keep yelling," Jin Qianqian said. She closed the door and hummed a song as she headed to the kitchen, preparing to try making a few more types of pastries.
「Meanwhile.」
"Xiao Dongzi, why did you come back empty-handed?" Big Beard narrowed his eyes at the little boy. "Are we not planning to eat?"
Xiao Dongzi replied, "That woman ran into an acquaintance. I wasn't confident I could pull it off alone. Uncle Hu, you don't want me to get beaten up and then have to buy medicine for me again, do you?"
