Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Chapter 61 How much does the handsome guy's horse cost?

Mr. Li had already gone up the mountain, so Ruxiu pulled her second aunt and Caifeng down to sit.

"You've worked hard, this is what you deserve." Ruxiu gave her second aunt two taels of silver, and Caifeng also gave her one tael.

"Ruxiu, what are you doing? Our whole family eats and drinks from you, how can we take more? Besides, I don't usually need money."

"I spend most of my time tending the vegetable garden! I just did some chores on the side. All the money I made selling vegetables is thanks to you. If you give me any more, it would be a slap in my face."

Auntie Er and Caifeng refused to accept it, insisting that Ruxiu keep it.

"Second Aunt, listen to me. I, Ruxiu, am all alone here. You always think of me first. With you by my side, I feel like I have a pillar of support." Ruxiu tightly closed the hand of her second aunt holding the silver, her voice choked with emotion.

“You are my elder, so please accept this as a token of my filial piety. No matter what, you must take it. Elders need some money to keep warm, don’t they?” Auntie was almost in tears. This child was too honest and never treated her like an outsider.

“Caifeng, you’re doing the same. We’ll be moving to town soon and won’t be coming back often. You’ll have to keep this money every month. The household will depend on you to manage it. If you don’t keep it, I’ll have to find someone else.” Ruxiu’s reproachful tone made Caifeng feel ashamed.

After much persuasion, Auntie and Caifeng finally accepted the money, packed their things, and went to sleep.

Ziyi stood at the door with her parents for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

When she came back, she had stopped crying and even seemed very happy.

He gestured with his hands and said to Sister Shi: I never thought I could go to Qinghe Town with you. My father said it's a great place. I'm so happy.

The next day, Ruxiu personally drove an oxcart to deliver the dolls to Baixianglou, and also sent over the two bags of dried fish and two bags of dried shrimp that she had packed in her space the night before.

Of course, two packages were to be given to Mr. and Mrs. Zhang.

Fearing she would miss Baixianglou's delivery, Ruxiu left before dawn and arrived at the back door of Baixianglou before it was even open.

Ru Xiu didn't urge them, sitting quietly on the carriage shaft waiting. The morning was very peaceful, without any shouts, smog, or car exhaust.

"Ruxiu, why are you up so early today? It's barely dawn."

She doesn't know what kind of luck she has, but she always runs into handsome guys when she goes out. Ru Xiu secretly thinks to herself: If there were a lottery, she would definitely win.

"I'm just delivering some goods to Baixianglou. You're up early, Brother Tang. Where are you headed?"

"I don't have anywhere to go. It's just a habit I've developed over the years: to get up and exercise every morning."

Good heavens! Were there such self-disciplined people in ancient times?

The early winter morning was quite chilly. Ru Xiu was wearing a thin coat today, and she even wore a sleeveless coat underneath, but she still felt cold.

Tang Ershi was indeed dressed for morning exercise, wearing a thin, fitted autumn shirt, with a wide belt around his waist that accentuated his inverted triangle figure.

Slightly sweating, her clothes clung to her skin, revealing her lean chest and abdominal muscles. Ru Xiu swallowed hard; her figure was just too good.

Ru Xiu couldn't even look directly at it; this was clearly the result of regularly lifting weights at the gym.

Seeing his wife's expression, Tang Ershi wanted to tease her, but he didn't know how and was afraid of scaring her away.

"I thought you'd be a little late, Miss Ruxiu, since you're here so early today. The food to be sent to Taocheng is ready. Your dolls aren't heavy, so you can put them on top."

Manager Wang's sudden interruption saved the two from an awkward situation; otherwise, they wouldn't have known what to say next.

Tang Ershi helped Ruxiu load all the dolls onto the carriage before saying he wanted to go home.

Manager Wang looked at Tang Ershi and then at Ruxiu, hesitating to speak. He wondered how Ruxiu knew such a person. Judging from his figure and demeanor, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Why don't you wait a little longer and take my oxcart back? I'll talk to Manager Wang for a few more minutes and then leave."

Since it's all heading in the same direction, Ru Xiu took the initiative this time. Who's afraid of whom? Am I, a modern person, afraid of an ancient person?

He handed the dried fish and dried shrimp to Manager Wang, and specifically instructed that one of the portions was for Master Zhang.

Ru Xiu then turned around and greeted Tang Ershi.

Tang Ershi didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the shaft of the oxcart without hesitation: "Let me drive."

Since there was a free driver, I naturally decided to take advantage of it. I sat down in the shed near the carriage shaft and watched the man in front of me show off his driving skills.

"Have you ever driven an oxcart?" A man who always has four or five attendants and rides a tall horse cannot be an ordinary commoner.

“I have farmed and hunted, and I can drive oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages.”

This guy is an all-around god, Ru Xiuzhen wants to ask him if there's anything he can't do.

"You... is that horse expensive?" Ru Xiu wanted to dig into her own brain to see what she was thinking. Why was she asking such a strange question?

Actually, Ru Xiu wanted to buy a horse and a carriage herself, and wanted to test the prices.

But why does it sound so strange to ask that question?

"That was a warhorse." Tang Ershi paused, unsure how to explain.

It was also said, "They are more expensive than ordinary horses." It's not fair to say that warhorses cannot be bought or sold.

It was only a little over a mile away, and we arrived in no time.

After getting off the cart, Ruxiu didn't say anything more and drove off in the oxcart.

We're moving here tomorrow. Aside from clothes, most of our belongings from the village can't be moved; we'll need them when we go back.

So the house needed some daily necessities. Fortunately, during the few days that Ruxiu went to Taocheng, her second aunt and Caifeng had searched the house inside and out and knew exactly what was there and what was missing. They had told Ruxiu about it in the past two days.

So Ruxiu simply picked up the medicines as ordered, and didn't buy many daily necessities from the grocery store, but she did buy a lot of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

I'm just waiting to check in tomorrow.
