Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm - Chapter 167

167 Aunt Wang Came Early

She got up and washed up. When she came to the front yard, Lin Xiaoyue knew that everyone was up.

Liu Shi took Lin Xiaozhi to the kitchen to make breakfast, while Xiao Qing followed Li Xiao to retrieve the cold cakes by the stream.

Lin Xiaoyue just left when she saw Aunt Wang appear not far away.

“Aunt Wang, why did you come so early?” She smiled and greeted her.

!!
“I don’t want to delay you from setting up the stall in town.” Aunt Wang said with a smile.

“Don’t worry, it’ll only take us half an hour to get to town.”

“How’s Erya?”

“She’s already much better. The swelling has reduced by a lot, so she’s resting at home.”

“That’s good. The doctor’s medicine has taken effect. She’ll be fine soon.”

“It’s all thanks to you.”

“Aiya, here you go again…”

The two of them chatted for a while before Liu Shi came out and said that breakfast was ready.

“Aunt Wan, have you eaten? If not, let’s eat together!” Liu Shi smiled at Aunt Wang.

Lin Xiaoyue also smiled and invited her in.

“No, no. I’ve already eaten.” Aunt Wang quickly waved her hand to refuse.

Then, she looked at Li Xiao, who had just returned from the stream.

“You guys go and eat. Li Xiao too! I’ll go get the remaining cold cakes. When you’re done eating, we can set off,” She said.

“We’ve retrieved all of them. The remaining ten buckets in the stream are to be sold at home,” Li Xiao said.

“I’ve also set up the ox-cart. You can just set off whenever you’re ready.” As he spoke, he moved the four buckets of cold cakes to the ox-cart.

Aunt Wang quickly went to help.

“Alright, let me do it. You guys go eat quickly, we’ll leave after that. If you’re late, you might lose your spot.”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, “alright. Thank you.”

“Let’s go and eat,” he said to Li Xiao.

With that, the whole family went into the house.

Lin Xiaoyue did not want to make Aunt Wang wait for a long time. She ate a bowl of porridge, took four boiled eggs with her and went out.

“Let’s go, Aunt Wang.” Lin Xiaoyue walked towards the ox-cart.

Aunt Wang was a little surprised to see Lin Xiaoyue come out so quickly.

“So fast?”

“Hehe, I didn’t have much of an appetite in the morning. Just a bowl of porridge will do!” Lin Xiaoyue responded.

Then, they set off.

After a while, she finally took out the four hard-boiled eggs from her pocket.

“Let’s have two each!” She handed two hard-boiled eggs to Aunt Wang.

“I’ve had breakfast, you can keep them for yourself!” She quickly refused.

“I have some. These two are for you,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

Seeing that Aunt Wang still didn’t take it, she said, “other than the four buckets of cold cakes ordered by Ruyi Restaurant, the remaining 16 buckets are for us to sell. It won’t be easy to sell them all. If you don’t eat your fill, I’m afraid you will be tired later.”

Only then did Aunt Wang accept it.

“You are too generous.”

“Just this once. If you give it to me again next time, I won’t take it no matter what you say.”

Eggs were expensive, and the villagers were usually reluctant to eat them at home. Most of the time, they would sell them for money.

This girl was really good, giving her two at once.

“Alright! Whatever you say!” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

She rode the ox-cart while peeling an egg.

Along the way, she chatted with Aunt Wang about the cold cakes.
