Chapter 24: Go Home

After finishing their meat noodles, the three siblings paid and left the noodle stall, preparing to go home.

"Brother, there should be an ox cart at this time, right?"

Such a basketful of things was strangely heavy. Although she was not the one carrying it, she didn't want Murong Hao to be tired. Besides, she was a rich person now, so couldn't she afford to ride in an oxcart with only a few copper coins?

"There should be more, right? I don't ride often, so I don't know very well. Xiaoyue, do you want to go back by bullock cart?"

Murong Hao wasn't very sure either. After all, he always walked to town or back, so he didn't know clearly.

"Well, so many things are too heavy, and Xiao Qi is also tired. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold it."

Murong Hao also felt that Xiao Qi was still young and Murong Yue was a girl, so walking for such a long time would be quite tiring, so he agreed to her.

"Then let's go take a look!"

"Okay." Murong Yue nodded.

On the way, she passed by a man who was buying candied haws. Murong Yue saw Murong Qi staring at the red candied haws, so she bought him a bunch.

The little guy was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he got the candied haws.

:::::::::::::

The three brothers and sisters arrived outside the town, and the bullock cart was preparing to leave.

Murong Yue hurriedly ran up and shouted: "Uncle, wait for us."

When the uncle driving the cattle cart heard that there were others, he stopped and waited for them.

When Murong Yue and the others got closer, they could clearly see the people in the car. There were three people in the car. The other two women were probably from other villages, and Murong Yue and the others didn't know them.

The other person is Chen Wen, the original owner’s ex-fiancé.

Murong Hao's face suddenly darkened when he saw him, and he glanced at Murong Yue worriedly.

Murong Yue, as if nothing happened, carried Xiao Qi into the car, and then climbed in herself.

Seeing that Murong Hao hadn't come up yet, he asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Yeah." Murong Hao saw that she was not sad, so he nodded and got on the bullock cart.

The uncle in the bullock cart started to drive the bullocks when he saw that people were seated.

When Chen Wen heard that it was Murong Yue calling the driver, he subconsciously frowned.

He thought they would walk away angrily and not ride in the same bullock cart with him.

Unexpectedly, only Murong Hao glanced at him displeasedly, and then acted like nothing happened.

And Murong Yue didn't even look at him from the beginning to the time she got on the bullock cart, and there was no sign that she was sad because of the breakup.

Chen Wen felt very strange when he saw them carrying a basket of things, but he just glanced at them, and then pretended that he had not seen the three brothers and sisters.

After Chen Wen was admitted as a scholar, he felt superior to others and began to look down on country people.

In the past, he would ask one or two questions when meeting each other, but now even if others say hello to him, he tends to ignore them.

The villagers started talking behind each other's back, and then gradually got used to it. However, Chen Wen was a scholar, and he might be a scholar in the future, so most of the villagers would get close to Chen Wentao when they saw him, and there were a few people.

He is very disdainful of his dog and looks down upon others.

Murong Yue saw Chen Wen from the beginning, but so what? It was the original owner who broke off the engagement with him, not her.

Even if she was the one who called off the engagement, for such a self-righteous person, she would only think that it would be better to call off the engagement to avoid any negative reactions.

I won't even feel sad for such a person.

After riding in an oxcart for a while, Murong Qi began to feel sleepy, his head twitching little by little.

Murong Yue asked in a distressed low voice: "Xiao Qi, can my sister hold you to sleep?"

I got up early today and walked for such a long time. Murong Yue felt very tired, let alone Murong Qi who was only five years old.

Murong Qi was really sleepy. He vaguely heard his sister saying that she would hold him to sleep, and he immediately nodded and said a vague "hmm".

Murong Hao on the side saw this: "I'll do it!"

Then he picked up Murong Qi, who was about to fall asleep, and held him in his arms horizontally to make him sleep more comfortably.

Perhaps because he felt safe in Murong Hao's arms, Murong Qi fell asleep within a short while.
