Mo Xiaoxia, who was at the side, quickly pulled Mo Xiaoyan back and whispered into her ear: ”Xiaoyan, let's not buy it anymore. These two taels of silver are too expensive, we should put it down and go out first.”
When Mo Xiaoxia heard that such a handkerchief would only cost two taels of silver, she gasped in shock. She had never seen a handkerchief sell for a few taels of silver.
”How is it? If you can't afford it, then hurry up and leave, don't stand here and stand in the way. ” The woman looked at them with contempt.
”Don't look down on others. We'll buy this handkerchief.” Mo Xiaoyan swiftly took out his silver and paid it with a handkerchief.
When the woman saw that they had truly bought the handkerchief, she was still somewhat shocked. She looked at them with an incredulous expression, until Mo Xiaoyan and Mo Xiaoxia walked out of the Embroidery Shop room.
”Xiaoyan, you were really too rash just now. This handkerchief is so expensive, how did you really buy it?” Mo Xiaoxia was still pained by the two taels of silver. Although this handkerchief looked pretty good, she didn't need to buy it.
”It's fine, I just can't bear to see her like that. She looks down on me too much.” Mo Xiaoyan hated that kind of people the most.
”Sigh, there's nothing we can do about this big city. There are a lot of people we can't afford to offend. We won't dare to say anything even if we're bullied.” Mo Xiaoxia had always been a timid and weak child.
”Second Sister, don't think too much into it, this handkerchief is for you.” Mo Xiaoyan passed the handkerchief to Mo Xiaoxia.
”I don't want it. It's so expensive. Why don't you take it?” Mo Xiaoxia refused.
”Second Sister, just take it. I don't like the ones on me carrying these either.” Mo Xiaoyan insisted.
”I really don't want it. Take it yourself, sometimes a handkerchief worn by a girl can also be useful.” Mo Xiaoxia felt that this handkerchief was too expensive and that Mo Xiaoyan had spent a lot of money to buy it.
”Alright then. If you don't want it, then I'll put it away.” Mo Xiaoyan had no choice but to pretend.
”Let's go find our parents.” Through what happened just now, Mo Xiaoxia felt that it would be better not to go to that rather larger Embroidery Shop, in case she caused trouble again.
The few of them walked around a few streets, Mo Xiaoyan saw a candy seller, it had been a long time since she had eaten, now that she saw it, she suddenly wanted to eat it.
”Dad, mom, wait for me for a moment, I'll go buy a few skewers of candied fruits.” Mo Xiaoyan greeted and ran over to buy candied flakes, and bought four skewers each.
However, the candied fruits here were more expensive than the ones sold in his hometown. It seemed like a lot of things in Beijing were quite expensive.
Mo Xiaoyan gave a string of candied fruits to Mo Xiaoxia, and then passed one to the Lady Li, ”Aiya, Xiaoyan, why did you buy this candied flakes for mother? It's better if you keep it for yourselves. Lady Li felt that this was something that children should eat. How could she, at her age, eat this on the streets?
”Mom, take it quickly, I bought it for you and dad.” Mo Xiaoyan handed it over to the Lady Li.
Lady Li had no choice but to keep it in her hand, but she did not eat it immediately.
”Dad, this is yours.” Mo Xiaoyan passed the other string to Mo Dalin.
”Daddy won't eat this. You can keep it for yourself.” Mo Dalin wouldn't take the candied flakes no matter what.
