Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 932: The Ill fated second princess ——2

Xian Lei also understood her mother’s predicament, thus even though her heart felt stifled she still turned around and went to pack some eggplants for her mother.          

At least her mother was still alive, as long as she was alive—— Xian Lei was certain that nothing will happen to her father and concubine Xiao.      

” Aunt Dong, the madam wants to buy some eggplants,” Xian Lei restrained her emotions which were on the verge of spilling and turned around to look for Yu Dong.      

” I will pack them up for her,” Yu Dong nodded as she turned to pack the leftover eggplants, though she had a feeling that something was really off about that woman.      

The woman seemed to be a beggar but at the same time, she did not seem like a beggar because if she was a beggar then how come her actions and motions were so elegant even the way she spoke was too calm and authoritative as if she was used to handing out orders!      

Yu Dong was suspicious about the identity of the woman, which was why she continued to glance at her. But then she noticed the woman touching her eye which was covered in a patch and that patch seemed to be bleeding.      

She pursed her lips—— and her eyes flickered upon seeing the half-dead condition of the woman.      

Was she really getting suspicious of a woman who seemed to be on the verge of dying?      

Maybe she was thinking too much. But there was nothing that Yu Dong could do about this habit of hers, after all, she once lived in an apocalypse where people would betray their friends and family for a small chocolate bar.     

” Wife, should we hand her the remaining vegetables?” Chen Mi who was silent till now suddenly spoke up, even though he could see that the woman was bleeding quite heavily. Even though her figure was covered in bandages such that the blood wouldn’t drop on the ground, the sight of those white bandages stained with dark red blood was a bit ghastly. “It’s the new year and that woman looks like she requires some good nutrition.”      

As he spoke he pointed to the frail figure of the woman which seemed to be staggering a little as she took a few steps forward when a carriage drove past the street.     

Chen Mi had once starved to death and thus knew how much worse the feeling of having nothing inside one’s stomach was, given the condition of the woman she was in no condition to work and earn her keep. It was already surprising that she was buying some vegetables from them but maybe it was because she was not aware of the price which they were selling their vegetables for.     

Yu Dong stared at the thin figure which was standing in front of her shop and rubbed the back of her head.      

Before she picked up the rest of the vegetables and then packed them all up before instilling some of her spiritual energy and walked towards the woman who was standing in front of her and said, ” One copper coin please.”      

She was not doing this because she was feeling sympathetic toward this woman but because —— Yu Dong had once seen a woman wrapped in bandages like this in her world as well. That woman was once the senior officer of a team but then she lost her core as well her power in the hands of an unscrupulous treacherous man. Once her core was gone, that woman became nothing, from the admirable senior officer she fell to the point where she couldn’t even feed her daughter and mother.      

Later on, that senior officer went spiralling out of control when her daughter died out of starvation. She burned the house of the man who stole her core and died along with it, even now the thin and lanky figure covered in bandages was still fresh in Yu Dong’s head.     𝑛𝔬𝑣𝐄𝓵𝑢𝚜𝔟.𝑪𝗈𝕞

Back then she felt regretful since she could not help that woman because her parents restrained her inside the base. They were afraid of offending that man who successfully swallowed two cores and thus stopped her from saving that woman, which later on became Yu Dong’s biggest regret.      

Though this woman was not the senior officer who died, Yu Dong still wanted to help her.     

Xian Zhenya looked at the packets of vegetables and was stunned, she was sure that there was no way these many vegetables were only one copper coin but she was not going to reject this sympathy which Yu Dong was showing her. At the moment, she had nothing on her hand, her sister attacked her when she least expected it to happen —— thus, Xian Zhenya did not have much money on her.      

And as Magistrate Li was under scrutiny, Xian Zhenya was afraid to reach out to her as well.      

With the little money that she had, she was trying to save her husbands…how can she even have enough money to buy a full meal?      

” Thank you miss,” Xian Zhenya spoke croakily as she took out a copper coin from the bunch of coins which she was carrying and handed it to Yu Dong.      

She was only thinking of buying three eggplants with this sum, as long as they had something to eat… her husbands would be fine. As for her, she thought that she did not need to eat anything for the time being but fortunately, now they could eat something to fill their stomach.      

Yu Dong looked at the woman who seemed far too touched and felt a bit awkward. It was only a few vegetables which were not even enough for a single meal but the woman was thanking her ——Sheesh.      

She rubbed the back of her head and then said, ” I am going to sell rice in my shop starting tomorrow. You can come and get a sack as well…but don’t think I will let you take it for free. It’s expensive as you already know, so comes with an IOU all right? We will settle the bills when you can work again.”      

Xian Zhenya looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief before she smiled with tears in her eyes.          

” Thank you miss.” Looks like the heavens really did have eyes.
