Xiao Wuzi's home was in an alley, and when their carriage entered, it attracted a lot of people's attention and onlookers.

"There's a carriage coming to our poor alley. Whose house is it going to?"

As they were talking, the carriage stopped in front of Xiao Wuzi's house, and everyone looked at them in surprise.

"Xiao Wuzi's family has rich relatives? Oh my! The carriage..."

"Don't underestimate Xiao Wuzi's mother. She used to be very close to Brother Xiao, but it's a pity that she ended up in jail..."

……

The neighbors' words reached Xia Qingqing's ears, and naturally Xiao Wuzi could hear them. Mulan was angry, but Xiao Wuzi remained unmoved.

Being able to endure what ordinary people cannot, Xiao Wuzi will be a capable person in the future.

"Mother! There are guests at home."

Xiao Wuzi's stone house cannot be considered a house because only half of the roof is covered, and there are only two rooms in total.

A thin woman in her forties came out, with a floral headscarf covering her head. Although it was worn out, it was still clean. At this moment, she was doing needlework with an embroidery needle in her hand.

No wonder such a shabby family could afford to buy such expensive water. It turns out they have some skills.

I guess all the money he earned was spent on buying water, so his life seemed very difficult.

"Are you Xiao Wuzi's friends?"

Xia Qingqing nodded and said with a smile, "Auntie, are you Xiao Wuzi's mother? My name is Xia Qingqing. I'm sorry for coming here. I hope I don't disturb you."

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me, my name is Arlene." Arlene was a little shy and her eyes looked at the ground from time to time.

"Auntie Lin, wait a moment, I brought you something."

Xia Qingqing turned around and got on the carriage. When she came out again, she had an extra bag and a big bucket.

"Sister, do we have so much water in the car?"

Xia Qingqing blinked, and Mulan immediately understood that perhaps it was drawn from the well last night.

Mulan immediately carried the big bucket into the yard and placed it directly inside. This scene was seen by the people in the alley, and they all became excited.

"Is that a bucket? Oh my God! Xiaowu's family has made a fortune?" An old lady was so excited that she almost fell down and ran to see what was going on.

The others followed, and when they arrived in the yard they saw not only a large bucket of water, but also vegetables and meat.

This……

This is too eye-catching.

"Auntie Lin, it's my first visit and I'm a bit rushed, so I took these things first. Please don't mind."

Arlene was stunned, her mind went blank. Xiao Wuzi licked his dry lips and looked at the food and drinks, at a loss.

This sister is so awesome, and she’s rich too.

"Oh, A'lin's family has become rich! How about sharing some of the water with our neighbors?" a neighboring aunt said jealously, pouting. "We're all from the same village. Why don't you sell it to us at a lower price?"

"Gouzi's mother, stop talking nonsense. Why should Alin give it to you? Is it because you have an extra leg?" A woman rolled her eyes and retorted immediately. Although she was envious, she would never force others.

"Yes, yes, yes, Gouzi's wife, don't stare at other people's things all day long."

Everyone started to condemn Gou Zi's mother. Xia Qingqing took a quick look and felt that most people had no ill intentions, so she felt much better.

"Fellow villagers, free water will be distributed at the entrance of the alley tomorrow, so remember to come."

After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, everyone exploded immediately, and then they heard her continue: "Except for that dog-like mother."

The crowd that was rioting just now suddenly became chaotic again and laughed at Gou Zi's mother. After Mulan's attack, these people were quickly driven away.

"I'll go cook for you."

Ah Lin was very happy. She turned to Xiao Wuzi and said, "Go to Aunt Ah Xiang's house and bring some benches and a table."

"I'll go right away."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Wuzi arrived at the door, he saw Aunt A Xiang coming with a bench, followed by her husband carrying a square table.

"I know you have guests coming to your house, so I brought you stools and chairs," Auntie Xiang took out two eggs from her pocket and stuffed them into Alin's pocket. "The chicken laid two eggs today, I'll give them to the guests."

As soon as I gave it to him, I saw a big bucket of water, vegetables and meat on the ground. My eyes suddenly went dark and I almost fell down.

"Oh, I'm dizzy. Why does everything look like water?" Aunt A Xiang rubbed her eyes and when she opened them again, she still saw a big bucket of water. She immediately looked at everyone.

"Aunt Xiang, this is a bucket of water. You're not mistaken." Xiao Wuzi grabbed Aunt Xiang's arm and said, "This water was given to my family by this sister."

After saying that, she looked at Xia Qingqing and asked timidly, "Sister, can I give some water to Auntie Axiang? She brought eggs to our house again today."

"Of course, this bucket of water is yours now, you can do with it as you please."

Hearing this, Xiao Wuzi was so happy that he said excitedly: "Thank you, sister."

He turned around and ran to find a jar, filled it with water using a wooden ladle and handed it to Aunt A Xiang.

Aunt A Xiang hugged the water and was so excited that she almost cried. It had been such a long time and this was the first time she had free water.

Water was so precious, and just as she was about to refuse, she was stopped by Arlene: "The child gave it to you, you must accept it."

Aunt A Xiang finally accepted the water and went home happily with her husband.

The meal was ready quickly. Scrambled eggs with green peppers, stir-fried meat with celery, and winter melon soup with rice were all placed on the table.

Xiao Wuzi hadn't seen so much food for a long time, and his drool started to flow involuntarily.

Mulan was amused. She took out her handkerchief and quickly wiped the child's face, saying, "Eat quickly."

Xia Qingqing glanced at Mulan and said, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, go back to Yanjing immediately."

"Huh?" Mulan opened her mouth in surprise and turned to ask, "Why should I go back to Yanjing? You can't stay here alone if I go back. You're pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Arlene immediately picked out all the eggs from the dish and said to Xiao Wuzi, "Sister, you're pregnant. These eggs are for you."

"it is good."

The mother and son were discussing Xia Qingqing's pregnancy in a low voice, and Mulan was completely confused.

"This trip back is too far. If something happens to you by then, how can I explain it to the Marquis, the Prince, and the Princess?"

Mulan spilled the beans regardless, leaving Arlene completely stunned.

Did she hear correctly? Marquis? Prince? Princess?

"I'll be fine. If you don't want to go back to Yanjing, go to the nearest Jinzhou and invite the prefect to come to me!"

Mulan thought about it and decided that Jinzhou was closer to here and would only take two days to get there, so she ate a few mouthfuls of food and turned around to leave.

"I'll go now!"
