The market in Su County was much worse than that in the capital. After all, Su County wasn't a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River, and there weren't many large clans here. But for Li Mofu, it was all the same; it was just a way to kill time.

"Let's go, let's see if there's anything to eat." Li Mofu said enthusiastically.

Even though Li Mofu had been separated from them for over a month, he still looked wealthy. During the month he was stranded outside, Lu Mingyun took good care of him, and he didn't get cold, tired, or hungry.

He was standing out from the crowd as he walked in the market wearing a white fox fur coat.

Most people here are busy making a living, either doing business or thinking about how to save a penny to buy daily necessities.

Li Mofu looked around and met the eyes of those people from time to time. They looked at him with envy, curiosity, numbness, and indifference.

They found a restaurant, Li Mofu ordered three bowls of wontons, and the three of them sat down to eat.

"Sir, where do you want to go next?" Guozi asked.

"Let's walk around and buy some books." Li Mofu said, maybe there will be some interesting books here.

After eating wontons, Guozi asked the restaurant owner about the price, paid and went shopping.

After walking around for a while, the three of them found a bookstore and bought several books. Then Li Mofu led his people out of the bookstore. When they came out, they saw a child buying something at the entrance of the alley opposite.

The child, about five or six years old, was small and thin. He sat at the entrance of the alley, using two stones as a cushion. He was wearing ill-fitting clothes, loose trousers tied at the bottom with straw, no socks, and only loose straw sandals.

The child's face was yellow, probably because he hadn't washed it clean. There were also pieces of straw in his hair, probably because he slept on a straw mat.

"Sir, stop looking. Let's go." Guozi followed Li Mofu's gaze and felt sympathy for the child, but he didn't dare let Li Mofu meddle in his business.

Li Mofu pursed his lips and looked away, then walked a few steps and stopped. "Forget it, let's go see what that kid is selling."

"..." Guozi looked at Mo Yi in embarrassment. Mo Yi received his pleading look and shrugged, unable to help.

The child sat up straight when he saw them coming toward him. Before they even reached the stall, he called out, "Fresh eggs and one-month-old kittens! What do you want?"

There were only two baskets in front of the child, both covered with small quilts. He quickly lifted a corner of the quilt in each basket. One basket contained eggs, and the other contained little kittens.

The exposed kitten felt cold and immediately moved, opening and closing its black tender paws, sniffing and nudging the other kittens.

"How many cats are there?" Li Mofu asked with interest.

Seeing Li Mofu's interest, the child quickly opened the lids and said, "There are only three. The cat got pregnant at the wrong time. There's really nothing to feed so many cats in this winter. If the weather were warmer, we could give them to the villagers. But now, no one wants them."

Li Mofu was amused when he saw the little cubs gathered together, a ginger cat, a sparrow cat, and a little white cat.

"Yes, yes. Build it and give it to me. How much?" Li Mofu said readily. Didn't Lu Mingyun ask him to decorate the yard and the house? This was just perfect.

"One, fifty cents each." The child hesitated for a moment, then raised the price seeing that Li Mofu was dressed so well.

"Well, here you go." Li Mofu took out the money. Guozi was stunned for a moment and then stepped forward to take the blue cat.

The child raised his eyebrows happily when he received the money. He didn't expect Li Mofu to be so straightforward. "Thank you, thank you!"

Li Mofu waved goodbye and walked away. After a few steps, Guozi, holding the basket, said hesitantly, "Sir, it's not a good idea to buy so many cats. Young Master, you might not like them."

"He doesn't like it?" Li Mofu stopped.

Guozi smiled bitterly, "Master might find them too noisy."

"Then the cat and I will move out." Li Mofu said.
