After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

People like to watch the excitement, especially when there are a lot of married women gathering together.

Little Cai felt everyone's direct gazes, and felt that the half of her face that had been beaten began to sting again. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

"She was just beaten by a man in the family. There were no slap marks on her face before..." someone whispered.

Zhang Yuniang has always disliked Little Cai. Some women will fight back when they are bullied, while some women will only tear up other people's umbrellas when they get caught in the rain. Little Cai, as Niu Niu's adoptive mother, never protected her child. Treat Niuniu as a tool to suffer for her.

Zhang Yunniang finally relented and did not let little Cai face everyone's scrutinizing eyes. She took the child and walked out first, saying: "It's better to leave quickly. If you are late, others will pick out the good food. "

After hesitating for a moment, the others followed.

Little Cai stayed there alone, holding the vegetable basket tightly in her right hand. After a long time, she finally recovered and walked in the direction where everyone left.

At home, Zhang Guangzong wanted to eat broth when she woke up. No matter how many grievances she felt, she could only swallow it.

After not seeing little Cai, Niu Niu returned to her usual lively appearance. She looked around on the street with her big eyes. The scenery in the city was different from that in the countryside. Niu Niu still felt very fresh after seeing it many times.

Zhang Yunniang also indulged her. When she met a shop selling flower-shaped cakes, she saw Niu Niu staring at her and bought her a pack.

Madam Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Mother Yun, you really love your daughter."

Others also echoed.

Really wealthy families would not rent a house from a wealthy woman. Most of them would stay in an inn, or simply rent a yard or buy a house by themselves.

There are many people living in Mrs. Qian's courtyard. Even though it is close to the examination room, so many people are crowded together and the air is a bit turbid.

Such families are not willing to buy such flashy cakes for their daughters. They only buy two cents worth of candied haws and the like. Moreover, if there are any good things, they will probably give them to the boys first.

The bag of pastries held in Niu Niu's hand cost Zhang Yunniang fifty cents, and there were only eight pastries in each package.

Zhang Yunniang said with a smile: "Niuniu is so well-behaved that she invites others to love her. This is what she should do."

Most ordinary people would buy this whole package of cakes as gifts, but Zhang Yunniang handed it over to Niuniu without blinking an eye.

Niuniu carefully picked up a piece of pastry. She just smelled it and brought it to Zhang Yunniang's mouth: "Mom, it smells so good. Eat it quickly!"

Zhang Yuniang was very impressed by her daughter's filial piety, but she still said: "Mom is not hungry, you eat first, and I will eat with your father later."

After Niuniu heard this, she didn't hesitate anymore, holding the pastry and eating it in small bites.

After finishing a piece of pastry, Niuniu was still very greedy, but she put away the bag of pastries, fully planning to share it with her brothers when she got home.

"Is it delicious?" Zhang Yunniang asked softly.

Niu Niu nodded vigorously and whispered: "Huahua pastries are delicious, but I have tasted better ones."

Zhang Yunniang didn't think much about it: "What do you think is the most delicious?"

She originally thought that Niuniu could talk about roast chicken. After all, the child couldn't forget it after eating it once.

Niu Niu said: "The most delicious food I have ever eaten in my dream."

Zhang Yuniang didn't expect that the little girl was still thinking about that food dream.

The group of people soon reached the street selling vegetables.

Most of the vegetables in the city are brought in by vegetable farmers outside the city. There are many residential houses near this street. Over time, a street selling vegetables has been formed.

Because there is no one to manage it, this place is a mixed bag of people. There are basically everyone selling vegetables, buying vegetables, setting up stalls, and begging.

While picking vegetables, Mrs. Qi sighed: "After staying in Fucheng for a few days, my wallet will be empty. The food in Fucheng is too expensive."

The others were all bitter when they heard this.

"I don't know if the price went up because we came here. I spent too much money on groceries. My husband blames me for not being able to live."

"We pick vegetables in the vegetable garden at home, why should we spend such unnecessary money?"

Scholars usually spend a lot of money on pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Every time they rush for an exam, it is a major blow to the family's savings. Therefore, supporting a scholar is a big burden for most families.

If you can be admitted as a scholar and have a hard time at home, you can still get back your money.

But if you can't even pass the scholar examination, it will really be a waste of money.

But there are only so many people who can pass each college examination. In this game of crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, some will win and some will lose.

Zhang Yunniang looked at their somewhat depressed expressions and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, it would be great if my home was close to Fucheng. Then I would come to Fucheng every day to sell vegetables, and I would probably make a fortune."

Mrs. Qi chuckled lightly and said, "You have a beautiful idea. I also want to have a house in Fucheng."

The women did not gather together, but each picked out the vegetables they wanted to buy.

Zhang Yuniang's family has a large family, so she has to buy two or three days' worth of food at a time, and the vegetable basket is quickly filled to the brim.

Seeing that she was struggling to hold the vegetable basket, Niu Niu struggled to climb down from her and asked to leave.

Little Cai walked a step late, but she could always see the women's backs in her sight, so it didn't take long to enter the street.

Before she bought any vegetables, an old beggar blocked her way and said to her, "Madam, I have a secret recipe passed down from my family. I will sell it to you as long as you pay me three taels of silver..."

Xiao Cai thought he was a liar and immediately scolded him, "Get lost."

The old beggar was still defending himself, "Madam, trust me. I am really not a liar. My secret recipe is also real..."

Xiao Cai was about to scold him when she suddenly saw a familiar figure on a stall not far away. She came up with a plan and said to the old beggar, "Old man, it's not that I don't want to buy your secret recipe, but I don't have money. Do you see the woman with the child? She has money. Go sell it to her!"

The old beggar didn't act immediately after hearing this. Instead, he stood in front of Xiao Cai and silently handed over the broken bowl in his hand.

Little Cai was puzzled: "Didn't I show you the way? Why are you still pestering me?"

The old beggar looked like a rogue, and said: "Do you have a bad relationship with the woman with the child? You want me to cheat her, but you don't give me any benefits?"

When Little Cai heard this, she was so anxious that she jumped up and down: "Well, you admitted it yourself, there is no secret recipe at all, you are just cheating me!"

The old beggar laughed and shouted loudly: "Children!"

As soon as the voice fell, five or six dirty beggars came out from nowhere and surrounded Little Cai.

The old beggar also taught her a lesson, saying: "If you don't have the intention to harm others, I won't pester you."

Little Cai cursed in her heart. The old beggar's words were high-sounding, but in fact he was just catching a fat sheep to slaughter. Unfortunately, she came out alone and was a woman, so she was weak and could only suffer this loss.

After paying twenty coins, the old beggar waved his hand, and the other beggars left like a tide.

"Don't worry, I'm a beggar and I'll keep my word."

After saying this, the old beggar squeezed into the crowd with a broken bowl in his hand, stopped Zhang Yunniang and her daughter, and said with a smile: "Madam, I think you look kind, I have a secret recipe passed down in my family, it only costs three taels of silver..."
