110 Chapter 110: Buying Groceries

“Alright. There are many people on the street. Cover your money bag well.”

“I know, Mom!”

Only then did the mother and daughter start to stroll around the market.

In the beginning, they were very cautious and only looked but did not buy.

As they strolled around, they became bolder and started to buy things.

They bought vegetables, live poultry, side dishes, candy, and snacks.

Suddenly, Song Yun saw a meat stall and the stall owner who was chopping meat with a cleaver.

“Mom!” Song Yun quickly tugged at Madam Liu, who was still looking around.

“Look! Isn’t that Uncle Qin?” She pointed at Qin Dazhuang, who was not far away.

Madam Liu looked in the direction her daughter was pointing and saw it was indeed Qin Dazhuang.

Madam Liu’s face lit up, and she quickly said, “Yes! Your Uncle Qin’s meat stall is at a fixed location. It’s always there.”

“We haven’t bought any meat yet. Let’s go and talk to your Uncle Qin.”

Her son and daughter-in-law had bought a courtyard dwelling so long ago, but they only told her yesterday.

She wasn’t sure if her in-laws knew about this.

Since she had bumped into them, she must talk to her in-laws and ask them to visit.

“Okay!” Song Yun quickly agreed.

Previously, she was quite afraid of the Qin family. However, ever since Sister-in-law became a better person and she had also heard that the Qin family took care of her family, she was not so afraid anymore.

The mother and daughter soon arrived at Qin Dazhuang’s meat stall.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They didn’t rush up to talk to Qin Dazhuang. Instead, they waited for Qin Dazhuang to serve the other meat-buying customers.

Qin Dazhuang was so focused on his business that he didn’t notice the mother and daughter.

After he finished serving the customers near the meat stall, he then looked at the mother and daughter.

With one glance, his expression turned into one of shock.

“Mother… Song?” He exclaimed at Madam Liu.

Madam Liu smiled and answered in return, “Father Qin.”

Qin Dazhuang’s face lit up, and then he looked at the little girl beside Madam Liu.

“Mother Song, why are you in town?”

Following that, he looked at the meat hanging at his stall.

“Today’s meat is not bad. I’ll cut two catties of fatty meat for you!” As he spoke, he prepared to start chopping with the cleaver.

Madam Liu quickly stopped him.

She stepped forward and said, “No, Father Qin! Just give… give us three catties of streaky pork!”

As she spoke, she began to take out the money.

Qin Dazhuang immediately stopped her.

“No need, Mother Song! It’s so rare to meet you. If you insist on paying me, you’re treating me as an outsider!”

However, Madam Liu insisted.

“That’s a separate matter. Our family received a lot of care from your family in the past.”

“Now that our family’s situation is better, we can’t continue to take advantage of you.”

As she spoke, she took out the copper coins and started counting.

Seeing this, Qin Dazhuang didn’t stop her anymore.

That was true. His son-in-law had already bought a courtyard dwelling. Their situation was indeed different from before.

When he thought of this, Qin Dazhuang suddenly felt a little upset.

It had been a long time since his daughter and son-in-law bought a courtyard dwelling.

Yet, up till now, they had not invited him over.

Now that Madam Liu had brought her daughter into town, could it be that they had already moved?

“Here, Father Qin. Please check!” After counting the money, Madam Liu gave the copper coins to Qin Dazhuang.

Although she hadn’t been to town for a long time, her eldest daughter-in-law had been buying meat for the family quite often, and almost all of it was streaky pork. Therefore, she knew the price.

Qin Dazhuang looked at the money in Madam Liu’s hand but did not count it.

After receiving it, he simply put it into the money box at the side.

“No need to count. I trust Mother Song!” As he spoke, he began to chop up the meat.

Madam Liu was all smiles.

She then said to Qin Dazhuang, “By the way, Father Qin. Did Sanya tell you? She and Que’er bought a courtyard dwelling in town.”

Qin Dazhuang’s expression froze for a moment.

“Yes,” he responded. The displeasure in his heart grew.

Had they really moved in?

Madam Liu’s face lit up with joy when she heard that.

...

“I only heard from the two kids last night that they’ve done such a major thing.”

Qin Dazhuang was stunned.

She had just heard about it?

Madam Liu smiled and looked at her daughter.

“When they told me, I was quite shocked. I thought they were just joking with me. ”

Qin Dazhuang saw from Madam Liu’s expression that she did not seem to be lying and felt a little more at ease.

“They have had the courtyard dwelling for quite some time now. I was the one who introduced the broker who helped them locate the courtyard dwelling. This matter is indeed true,” he said.

It seemed that Qin Dazhuang knew about the matter of the young couple buying a courtyard dwelling before Madam Liu did. Hmph! At least that girl still had some conscience.

Madam Liu’s eyes brightened slightly.

“Then I must really thank you, Father Qin!”

“We came to town today to have a look at the courtyard dwelling.”

...

“There are many rooms in that courtyard dwelling, and the place is big. It’s really good!”

Then, after hearing this, Qin Dazhuang felt a lump in his heart.

He had been wanting to visit his daughter’s new home, but he had never had the chance.

Could this Mother Song be deliberately showing off in front of him?

“However, we’re only here today to take a look.”

“The two children said that the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day to move. They told us to move from Brook Falls Village to town the day after tomorrow.”

“Father Qin, you have to come and visit us when the time comes! Also, bring your family over! The whole family!” Madam Liu said enthusiastically.

Qin Dazhuang finally smiled and nodded.

“Sure! We’ll definitely be there!” he answered.

So they had not moved yet.

They were only moving in the day after tomorrow. His daughter and son-in-law had really dragged it out for a long time.

“Here. It’s exactly three catties.” Qin Dazhuang weighed the streaky pork and made sure that the weight was correct. He then took the meat off and handed it to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu took the meat with a smile and put it into her daughter’s bamboo backpack.

She suddenly thought of something.

“If you are closing early, why don’t you come over to our new house for a look?”

“Although we haven’t moved yet, we’re all here today. I’ve also bought some groceries, so I can prepare a meal when I get back,” Madam Liu said.

Qin Dazhuang was surprised for a moment, and then his face lit up.

“Sure, sure!”

“I know the address. I’ll go take a look after I close up my stall. If there’s anything you need help with, I can help you in the afternoon,” he hurriedly said.

Not surprisingly, the address was given to him by a close acquaintance after the deal was closed.

In addition, he had already told his family about his daughter buying a courtyard dwelling a long time ago, yet he had not seen his daughter invite him to visit.

For the past few days, everyone in the family had been looking at him strangely.

Today, he would go and take a look and see who still dared to doubt his words.

“It’s a deal then!” Madam Liu Shi replied with a smile.

She chatted with Qin Dazhuang for a while longer and only said goodbye to him when a new customer arrived.

Then, because there were more guests coming, Madam Liu decided to buy some more groceries.

In the end, she even bought a jar of wine.

It was not until her purse was almost empty that Madam Liu finally brought Song Yun back to their new home.

Song Yun carried her bamboo backpack and looked at her mother who was walking in front of her, her hands full of stuff. She couldn’t help but smile.

It wasn’t just her mother who spent a lot today. Song Yun herself also paid out quite a lot of copper coins.

However, this was the first time she felt so comfortable and happy spending money.

They returned to their new home.

When Song Ye heard the commotion, he quickly rushed out of Song Que’s room.

When he saw that his mother and older sister had returned, he quickly shouted, “Mom! Sis!” and ran towards them.

The mother and daughter went straight to the kitchen and put down the bamboo backpack and all the stuff in their hands.
