Yu Dong picked up her basket and hoisted it up on her back once she was done with it , she turned to the old mer and asked "I want to buy some clothes for my husbands so can you tell me where can I buy cheap and comfortable clothes for them . I also want to buy some comfortable clothes for the new born."
The old mere realised that even though Yu Dong purchased quilts and mattresses that cost her twelve taels she wasn't really rich so he couldn't helped but sympathised with her "Young girl you don't need to buy ready made clothes if you are looking for cheap and comfortable clothes then you should purchase the raw material and ask a tailor to sew new clothes for you and your husbands."
Yu Dong found this suggestion a little budget friendly, even though she sold animal pelts for one hundred and twenty taels it was important for her to keep a little savings in case something unlucky happened. Her family was poor as she was the only one who can earn, thus it wasn't foolish of her to act thriftily to keep a little savings.
"Thank you old sir I will just that can you please recommend a shop where I can purchase goods clothes."
"I have a good friend who sells clothes for at a reasonable price, you can purchase the clothes from his shop." Then the old mere pointed in the direction of the shop. Yu Dong thanked him for his help and gave eleven taels for the quilts and mattresses.
She went to the shop to which the old mere gave direction of, after purchasing the clothes material that looked satisfactory to her then Yu Dong walked outof the narrow alley.
Then she strode to the main street because she afraid that she will lose sight of Yu Mai she asked him to walk-in fornt of her. Yu Dong made a quick stop at the store which was selling seeds of different crops , there with the help of her spiritual energy she identified the best quality seeds of strawberry and leafy vegetables including other fruits such as watermelon , she didn't think of buying the grape seeds as growing grapes from seeds was considerably difficult , luckily she had some cross cutting of grapes and elderberries in her spiritual world because they grew faster in her inner world , Yu Dong had the habit of nursing these softwood cutting in her inner world .
Once she was certain that she brought all the necessary stuffs she walked towards Wang Shi's ox cart, seeing Yu Dong come with so many things in her hand Weng Shi exclaimed "Yu Dong did you win a lottery or what !" Then her gaze dropped to Yu Mai who was happily pattinb the goat in his arm "And you also brought little Mai back, where did you get money from ? Don't tell me you borrowed the money from loan sharks !"
Yu Dong knew the fame of the previous owner of the body thus she wasn't surprised at Wang Shi's analysis of her situation "No aunt Wang I haunted a tiger in the forest this morning so I was a little lucky as I sold it for good sum of money."
Wang Shi naturally didn't asked how much Yu Dong earned after selling the tiger pelt. The villagers who were sitting on her cart weren't necessarily gossipers but she couldn't be sure if someone were to lacked the old Yu family know that Yu Dong earned a decent amount by selling the tiger who knows how the Old Yu family might react?
However , the women who were sitting on the ox cart looked at Yu Dong's bulging bags , basket and Yu Mai and couldn't help but envy Yu Dong's luck - a tiger ah ! If only they were lucky enough to hunt a tiger then they too would shop around like this .
The women naturally thought that Yu Dong shopped for herself but what they didn't know that except that one mattress for herself Yu Dong didn't even brought a single thread for herself . Yu Dong could feel the heated gaze of the women who were riding the ox cart with her and her lips twitched in helplessness , really - if she was a good for nothing these women were quick to scorn her and now that she was doing well , they were being envious of her ?
Yu Dong was the last passenger of Wang Shi 's ox cart thus once she settled Yu Mai on the cart and sat down , Wang Shu whipped the ox and the cart started to move in the direction of their village at once .
Just like the last journey , Yu Dong went a sickly white pallor and with an exhilarating leap she hopped down the cart , her energy returning the second she got down . Unlike Yu Dong who was having a hard time on the cart , Yu Mai was clearing having the time of his life , he kept ohhing and ahhing through out the entire cart ride and it was with a heavy , upsetting pout that he got down from the cart .
" You can keep sitting - I can take you guys home " seeing that Yu Mai was unhappy , Wang shi felt her heart go mushy , thus she couldn't help but stretch the invitation .
Yu Dong's lips twitched once again when Yu Mai looked at her with anticipation ' little boy , you might love this ride but your elder sister's butt is on fire ah ! '
Yu Dong didn't really want to be strict on Yu Mai considering what the previous owner had done to him but honestly if she really keep sitting on the cart , her butt might really get sore next morning , she just couldn't do it - Sorry Mai , sister will do some another sort of redemption .
" No its alright " ignoring Yu Mai's unhappy and dejected look , Yu Dong refused Wang Shi 's kind offer " if you do that people might say that you are biased "
Wang Shi snorted " so what ? This is my cart I can do anything with it , who are they to talk about it "
" Yeah but it is bad for business " Yu Dong tried to put a final fight - the result she lost . Under Wang Shi 's strong persuasion and Yu Mai 's teary ' pretty please elder sister ' - Oh her butt , the things she have to do as her penance !
