C9 To Catch Up

Bai He swallowed the hard cake down, and started to ponder. This was a good opportunity. If he went to the market, he might be able to find a better way to earn money.

As he mumbled to himself, Bai He couldn't care about his wet clothes at all as he fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day and looked at her half-dried clothes, she realized that she had actually slept in her wet clothes.

"Mother, has father left?" she asked at once.

Lady Baisong shook her head and said: "Not yet, I'm borrowing a cart from Bai San."

"A cart?" Bai He had doubts, just what was that thing?

"When your dad goes to the market, he has to buy some things. He can't bring them back without a cart." Hearing her question, Lady Baisong started to explain.

Bai He frowned and asked: "Are you not going to give it to me?"

"You, granny, will not be willing to part with a cart that requires money from a carpenter." Lady Baisong said straightforwardly: "Quickly go and bring a bowl of porridge over, it'll be gone once you get to the back."

When Bai He heard her words, she was quite excited. It was not because of the bowl of porridge, but because he thought that they cared so much about the bowl of rice before. It could be seen how precious the rice was.

Bai He followed the mud path and arrived in front of the mud house, where she saw three children squatting at the entrance.

One of them was his little radish brother.

"Bai Yuanxiao." Bai He shouted.

He looked at Bai He and shouted, "Big sister."

"The ugly bastard is here." A girl beside him was holding a bowl as she shouted.

Bai He frowned slightly. This girl was called Bai Yue Lan, her second uncle's daughter.

Bai He was thinking about how stingy granny could take out those things, but she ignored them and walked straight in.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing Bai He coming in, Lady Baiqian immediately said unhappily.

Bai He said magnanimously, "Come and have breakfast."

"It's gone, it's gone. Why didn't you come back earlier?" Lady Baiqian immediately covered the pot with the lid.

Bai He saw that she was admitting her mistake and did not give up. She said: "I see that there are still a lot in the pot."

"No, I finished eating a long time ago." Lady Baiqian pressed down hard on the lid of the wok, so that Bai He wouldn't see it.

Seeing that, Bai He's eyes turned and she shouted: "Ah, is there a tael of silver on the ground?"

Lady Baiqian immediately looked at the ground. Was it her mother who accidentally dropped it?

Bai He took the opportunity to remove the lid of the wok while she was relaxing. Seeing that there was still a small wok inside, but there was a large amount of water, she unceremoniously scooped a spoonful of water.

"Good, you actually lied to me!" Lady Baiqian reacted and grabbed Bai He, intending to snatch her bowl.

How could food be stolen from the mouth? Moreover, she had given up such a huge amount of thought. She, who was never willing to suffer a loss, would have to avoid it.

"Bai Yuanxiao, run!" When he jogged out with the bowl in his hands, Bai He didn't forget to let his little radish brother follow him out.

He didn't know what had happened to the little radish, but since it was his sister and he was being called, he picked up the bowl and ran.

In the end, Lady Baiqian was still a bit older, and after running a few steps, there was nothing she could do.

"Run away! You can't even run away fifteen times in the first place! You little b * tch!" Lady Baiqian couldn't catch up and started cursing loudly from the back.

Bai He smiled at her from afar. Did she really think that she was afraid of her words? What a joke.

But it didn't matter anymore. She looked to her younger brother, who was blinking innocently but was covered in dust, and said, "How about it? Are you happy? "

Carrot nodded, then looked at her blankly.

Bai He only laughed to herself.

Seeing that there was not much left of the congee in the bowl, she handed it over and said, "I just ate it. I'll give you the rest." Actually, those were all thrown out while running.

The little radish eagerly looked at the bowl, his hand tightly grasping his bowl. He was ready to move, but he said, "Sister, eat."

Bai He shook her head, and said: "I've already said, I was full just now. Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away. " She pretended to throw it away.

The radish immediately pounced on him, took the bowl, and began to drink.

Looking at his skinny but sensible appearance, Bai He was somewhat emotional in his heart. A child who was only a few years old had already turned into this current state, it could be seen that this house ?

There wasn't much left in the bowl. Seeing that he had finished drinking, she said, "You can take it and return it. Oh right, you must take advantage of second aunt's weakness."

He nodded and walked slowly with the bowl in his hand.

Just as Bai He was about to leave, she turned around and wanted to remind him, but she discovered that his fingers were actually placed inside a bowl, and placed the remaining rice soup into her mouth while touching it.

Bai He had mixed feelings about this, but she did not say anything as she returned to her thatched cottage.

"Xiao He, you're back! Your father is leaving, he was waiting for you just now." Seeing that she had returned, Lady Baisong immediately said: "I just told you, granny, that she agreed."

Bai He heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she could get to the market, that would be good.

"Hurry up and leave. Your father is waiting for you." Seeing her like that, Lady Baisong thought for a moment, then filled a pot of water for her and said: "The market is a bit far, I can only bring you some water." Of course, Mrs. White Sun wouldn't provide her with any food.

Bai He received it and also understood Lady Baisong's current mood. She thanked her and then walked out.

Not far from the door, he saw his father standing next to a wooden cart. It was definitely not a fake. Even the wheels were made of wood!

"Father." Bai He shouted.

As if he had just regained his senses, Bai Chengzhi's face was filled with a simple and honest look. He rubbed his hands together and smiled at Bai He, "Xiao He, you're here."

Seeing this father, Bai He did not know what to do, but their blood relation could not be changed. He walked forward and said: "Mn."

"Xiao He, this is your first time rushing a market, you have to be careful." An uncle from the same village beside him reminded him.

Bai He did not have much of a feeling towards these people. To be able to be with Bai Chengzhi, either they were kind, saw Bai Chengzhi more pitiful, or gathered together like a group of animals.

Bai He nodded slightly towards them as a response.

The uncle looked at Bai He's smile and sighed, saying: "What a pity about Bai He's face."

Bai He curled her lips. What's a pity, it wasn't as if she couldn't get rid of that scar? When she had enough money, she would definitely use all sorts of methods to get rid of it. Of course, the most important thing was to make money!

After Bai He arrived, all the preparations were made.

Bai Chengzhi pushed the empty wooden carriage forward.

Bai He followed beside him and thought about how he should earn some money. Everything had to be funded, and she had to earn it herself.

She began to ponder on what she had on her right now. The things she had on her body were worthless, not even worth a single pawn.

The only thing he could rely on was the fruits in that space.

This was also the only method that Bai He could think of.

He had to think carefully about how to arrange it so that no one would find it strange.

As she walked, she was thinking about things. She didn't feel that far, though. The mountain roads were rugged, and she didn't notice it.

When she finally reacted, she felt a pain in her foot. Her toes moved in her shoes, and she knew that she was grinding blisters.

At first, he didn't think much about it, but this time, he felt a sudden rush of pain through his fingers.

"Xiao He?" Seeing that Bai He had not left, Bai Chengzhi stopped and asked with concern.

Bai He shook his head, clenching her teeth, he continued to walk forward. However, in the end, she was still trying to be brave. Not long after taking a few steps, her foot started to limp, as if her head was starting to hurt as well.

She looked at the uncles by her side, who seemed to be fine. She gritted her teeth and continued walking forward.

The stone continued to poke at her foot, but she held it back without saying a word.

If she couldn't even handle this kind of suffering, how would she survive in this world? She would definitely work hard to live a good life in this world. She would definitely live up to her rare rebirth!

"Xiao He?" Bai Chengzhi saw that Bai He did not say a word along the way, and looked at her worriedly.

Bai He just shook her head at him, unable to say a word. She also couldn't say anything, even saying that her ten fingers were connected to her heart, even her toes were connected to her heart, the pain made her head feel a little dizzy.

She just stepped numbly on her legs, then endured the pain in her feet. Step by step, she suppressed it.

One must suffer hardships in order to become an outstanding man!

she said desperately.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bai He felt that they had already walked for far too long. Finally, a door made of wood appeared before their eyes.

Upon entering, one could hear the hubbub of noise.

The market had arrived.

Bai He clenched her teeth, and felt that she had persisted enough.

"Xiao He, you go in first. I'm going to buy some salt. " Bai Chengzhi said to her.

"You don't bring Bai He? It's the first time she's been to the market. " the uncle at the side asked.

Bai He also nodded her head, and said: "Father, I am not familiar with the market, you should let me go with you." The most important thing was that she didn't have the slightest understanding of the monetary value of this place. Naturally, she didn't know what the actual value of money was.

Bai Chengzhi looked at her and said: "Your feet are hurting, I'll walk really fast later."

Bai He shook her head and said: "Father, I'm fine, I will definitely keep up with you guys."

Seeing that she was so persistent, Bai Chengzhi could only nod his head and said: "Alright then, if you want to follow, then follow me."

Bai He obtained his consent and followed behind them without hesitation.

Bai Chengzhi first went into a shop and bought a pinch of salt.

It was about the size of a person's fist. Bai He looked at the small amount of salt and asked with wide eyes: "Father, how long will it take for us to eat this salt?" They all ate together. Counting their own family, second uncle's family and third uncle's, they all added up to twelve or thirteen people.

This little bit of salt would probably be gone in two or three days.

"Eat for a month. You, granny, have not given us much money. That costs two hundred cents. " Bai Chengzhi only had the money he always had, which was a thousand gold. To spend so much just to buy some salt, how could that be enough?

Thinking of this, Bai He felt a headache. I can't wait to make money.

"You have to buy some salt and your dowry." Bai Chengzhi looked at her and said, "You, granny, have only given so much, and you still have to save some money."

Bai He looked at the remaining eight hundred gold, and said: "Alright, then we will continue to purchase."
