My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin
Chapter 161 Friendly Relationship and Shopping Desire
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qingxue stepped out of the car carefully with the support of Gu Jinxuan. She was wearing a light blue long dress today, and her skirt fluttered in the wind, making her as elegant and refined as a blooming lotus.
Following closely behind were her two lovely daughters. The eldest daughter was about ten years old and was very smart; the youngest daughter was only seven or eight years old, and was very cute with her delicate figure.
If the Sun family saw this with their own eyes, they would be dumbfounded and would not believe that the two graceful and elegant sisters before them were actually the timid and cowardly girls of the past!
Back then, they always lived in fear and timidity, spoke softly, and did not dare to show any sign of disobedience, as if the slightest carelessness would bring about a catastrophic disaster.
Moreover, due to long-term hunger and severe malnutrition, his already thin body looked even thinner, like a bamboo pole swaying in the wind, which could be broken at any time.
However, now, under Lin Qingxue's meticulous care and attention, as well as the pampering and favoritism given by everyone in the Lin family, Lin Xiaowan and Lin Xiaoya have undergone earth-shaking changes.
They are no longer the timid and inferior people they used to be, but have become confident and graceful. They exude a charming charm in their every move, their smiles are as bright as flowers, their eyes are as bright as stars, and their personalities have become more lively and cheerful, making them as eye-catching as the beautiful flowers blooming in spring.
This kind of transformation has given them a completely new temperament, which makes people fall in love with them.
When Lin Qingxue, her mother, daughter and the other two got off the carriage, there were bursts of exclamations from all around. People cast envious and admiring glances at them, praising the outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament of this family.
However, at this time the market was already bustling with people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, and very lively.
Looking around, both sides of the street are filled with various stalls. The stall owners are shouting their wares at the top of their lungs. Some are selling fresh fruits and vegetables, some are peddling exquisite jewelry, and some are selling special snacks... The constant shouting of hawkers resounds throughout the entire market.
Lin Qingxue couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She held her two daughters' hands tightly, fearing that she would get separated from the children in the crowd.
At this time, the attentive Gu Jinxuan noticed Lin Qingxue's worry, so he walked quickly to the front, like a brave and fearless knight, and cleared a path for the three of them, mother and daughter.
Along the way, he turned back from time to time to check whether Lin Qingxue and others were keeping up with his pace, and always paid attention to the surrounding situation to prevent any accidents. He also asked Wen Su and others to guard around Lin Qingxue and her daughter.
The mother, daughter and her two children followed closely behind Gu Jinxuan's tall and straight figure, slowly moving through the bustling and crowded market.
The sunlight cast long shadows on their bodies. The youngest daughter, Lin Xiaowan, blinked her big, bright eyes and looked around curiously.
Suddenly, a colorful street stall selling sugar figures caught her attention. The stall was filled with lifelike sugar figures of various shapes, including cute little rabbits, mighty tigers, beautiful fairies, etc., which were dazzling.
Lin Xiaowan's eyes suddenly became bright, like two dazzling gems, and her feet seemed to have taken root and stopped involuntarily.
She stared at the tempting sugar figures intently, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing an innocent smile.
Seeing this, Lin Qingxue, who was walking in front, hurriedly stopped, turned around, gently patted her daughter's thin shoulder, and asked softly, "Xiaowan, do you want to eat this candy man? However, the weather is too hot today, and this candy man will melt quickly in your hands. How about we not buy it for now and come back here when we finish shopping? Then I'll buy you a few more and take them home to eat with your brothers. How about that?"
Hearing her mother's words, although Lin Xiaoya felt a little disappointed, she still nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, mother."
However, her eyes were still reluctant to move away from the sugar figures on the stall, and she continued to follow her mother forward, looking back every few steps.
Lin Qingxue looked at her daughter like this, and she couldn't help but feel sad. She wanted to fulfill her daughter's little wish immediately. But it was too hot that day, and they had to go shopping.
The eldest daughter, Lin Xiaoya, stared with her big round eyes, looking around curiously, as if she wanted to take in everything around her.
Her small figure moved among the crowd, stopping from time to time to touch this and look at that, showing great interest in all new things.
Lin Qingxue was always paying attention to Xiaoya's every move. When she saw Xiaoya so focused on observing her surroundings, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Then, Lin Qingxue gently said, "Baby, if you want to buy anything, as long as it's not something that melts easily like candy, Mommy can buy it for you. But as for candy, we have to wait until we get home to buy it. If we buy it now, it will melt on the way and won't taste good."
At this moment, Xiaowan, who had been following quietly behind, was also attracted by the lively scene around her, and the two sisters seemed a little absent-minded.
The attentive Gu Jinxuan noticed the movement behind him, so he quickly walked over to Lin Qingxue and asked softly, "Qingxue, do Xiaoya and Xiaowan want to eat candy figures? Why don't we buy one for them first and let the two little girls share a taste!"
After hearing Gu Jinxuan's suggestion, Lin Qingxue just opened her mouth to say something, but saw Gu Jinxuan quickly took out a few copper coins from his pocket, handed them to the vendor selling candy figures, and picked out a cute candy figure.
After getting the sugar man, the sisters Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan were obviously much happier. Seeing all this, Lin Qingxue's impression of Gu Jinxuan deepened a bit.
After leaving the sugar figurine stall, Lin Qingxue and her group continued walking forward. When passing by a stall selling fabrics, her eyes were attracted by a piece of light pink satin. The satin was soft and had a delicate luster. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently.
The stall owner was a middle-aged woman with a plump figure and a shrewd face. When she saw Lin Qingxue showed interest in the silks on the stall, her face was instantly filled with an enthusiastic smile.
He quickly introduced, "Madam, you have excellent taste! This is the finest silk we carefully selected and shipped from the far south. Look at the texture, smooth, soft, and delicate as silk. And look at the color, vibrant and bright yet elegant. If you make clothes out of it, I guarantee you'll look as beautiful as a fairy. It's simply stunning!"
Lin Qingxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an elegant smile, and then asked the stall owner about the price in a soft voice.
In fact, at this moment she had already begun to secretly think in her heart: Maybe she could use these beautiful silks to make a few new clothes for each of her precious daughters.
After all, girls have to dress themselves up beautifully so that people will feel pleasant and happy when looking at them.
When the middle-aged woman heard Lin Qingxue asking for the price, her eyes lit up and she replied with a broad smile, "Madam, this silk is not cheap. It's only 220 copper coins per foot. It's the most popular this year, and I only have two pieces left. If you can buy them all, I'll give you a discount of 10 copper coins per foot, so only 210 copper coins. How about that? Hehe, I really want to make this big deal with you, madam!"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman did not forget to wink at Lin Qingxue with a flattering look on her face.
However, upon hearing the price, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to herself: This price is indeed not low. If I really want to buy these two pieces of silk, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it without several taels of silver.
For an ordinary family, this was undoubtedly a considerable expense. Although the price of the silk was indeed a bit high, when Lin Qingxue noticed the longing and love in the eyes of her two lovely daughters, her heart softened.
As a mother, how could she bear to reject her daughters' little wishes?
Since they liked the silk so much and were looking forward to wearing new clothes made of it, she was willing to buy them for her beloved daughters even if it cost more money.
Gu Jinxuan's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through everything. He keenly caught Lin Qingxue's fleeting thoughts.
I saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a warm and gentle smile, and then he walked towards the stall with light steps.
When he got closer, he said to the stall owner in a gentle tone, "Boss, could you please pack all of these for us?"
The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it exuded an irresistible charm. The stall owner was stunned at first, then nodded without hesitation and said, "Sir, Madam, are you sure you want them all? If so, I'll pack them for you right away!"
While the stall owner was asking this, his hands were not slow at all. He had already started to pack up the two pieces of brightly colored and soft silk quickly and skillfully.
Lin Qingxue was obviously still a little dazed at this time. She hadn't even fully realized what was happening.
However, at this moment, Gu Jinxuan on the side had already nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed to buy the two pieces of silk, and signaled his follower Wen Su behind him to pay quickly.
Wen Su understood what he meant and quickly stepped forward, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner. The stall owner took the silver and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he put it in his pocket with a smile on his face, while continuing to pack the silk with his hands and feet.
Seeing this, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but feel anxious. She quickly said, "Jinxuan, let me pay for this myself. How can I let you spend the money?"
The words were full of sincerity and gratitude. After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, the smile on Gu Jinxuan's face became even more intense.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Qingxue, and said softly, "Qingxue, it's just a few pieces of silk. It won't cost much money. But do you plan to send this silk to a tailor shop to ask a craftsman to help make clothes, or do you want to take it home and make it yourself?"
"Take it home and make it yourself! The clothes made by my sister Qingyue are quite beautiful," Lin Qingxue happily stroked the smooth and soft silk in her hands, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
Her mind had already begun to imagine how her two lovely daughters would look in new clothes made of this beautiful silk, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Okay, then take it home and make clothes!" Gu Jinxuan replied with a smile, and at the same time gave a subtle wink to Wen Su beside him.
After receiving the signal, Wen Su nodded in understanding, then silently stepped back and followed, while Gu Jinxuan naturally took Lin Qingxue's hand and continued to walk forward leisurely with her and the two little ones.
The group strolled leisurely in the bustling market, and soon they came to a small stall selling exquisite jewelry.
The small stall was filled with a dazzling array of accessories, including uniquely shaped hairpins, round and transparent bracelets, delicate and small earrings, and so on.
Each piece of jewelry exudes unique charm, and its craftsmanship is so exquisite that people can't help but admire it.
The sisters Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan were immediately attracted by these dazzling jewels.
They ran to the stalls impatiently as if they had discovered a new world, their feet rooted to the spot, staring at the incredibly beautiful babies in front of them without blinking.
Seeing that her daughter loved these jewelries so much, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but reveal a doting smile on her face. She squatted down gently and carefully picked out a silver hairpin inlaid with white round pearls from the many jewelries.
He held it up to his daughters' eye level and asked softly, "Ya'er, Wan'er, take a look at this hairpin. Isn't it beautiful? And these colorful hair ornaments and hairbands, is there any one that you particularly like?"
The two sisters nodded hurriedly, their eyes full of longing as they looked at the beautiful jewelry on the stall. They whispered, "Mom, can my sister and I choose our own? Can you pick out two pieces of jewelry for my aunt as well?"
Looking at her two daughters' adorable faces filled with eager anticipation, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but smile slightly. She whispered, "Of course, my dears, if you see anything you like, just buy it! Mother brought plenty of money with her today!"
"Wow, that's great, Mommy!"
When Lin Xiaoya heard Lin Qingxue's words, she was so excited that she almost jumped up. She immediately held her sister Lin Xiaowan's hand tightly and couldn't wait to start choosing her favorite jewelry in front of the stall.
