Xiao Yuchuan glanced at the cloth bag in his hand, which contained coarse cloth for making her clothes. Judging by the size of the cloth cut by the cloth shop owner’s wife, it was probably enough to make her two sets of clothes.

Although she didn’t want to accept the favor, the cloth had already been bought. To avoid wasting it, she decided to go back to her second brother’s house for now.

The sun was about to set as the three walked in the direction of the town’s exit.

As they were about to exit the town, they saw an old granny sitting by the roadside with her vegetable basket. There were still two unsold cabbages that had been slightly wilted by the sun, and they didn’t look particularly fresh.

The passing pedestrians were in a hurry, probably hurrying home, and none of them stopped to buy any.

After calling out several times without success, the old granny stood up with her basket, preparing to leave.

Su Qingyue couldn’t help but cast a few more glances at those two cabbages.

Since she had been staying at her second brother’s house for over ten days, she had been given about seven jin of unsold roe deer meat to eat, even in her brother’s absence. Her second brother’s wife and younger brother-in-law were very kind to her, cooking roe deer in small portions for every meal. The meat lasted until yesterday, and she was given the majority of it.

There were many times when her brother-in -law, including the patients in the secondary bedroom, had nothing but plain rice to eat…

Only she had lunch in their family…

The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.

But after eating meat for so many days, without even a single leaf of vegetable, she realized that her second brother’s family didn’t have any fields and had to buy vegetables if they wanted to eat them.

They were so poor that they hardly ever bought vegetables.

Having had so much meat, she really craved some vegetables. She thought that the cabbages in the granny’s basket must be cheap…

Although the cabbages were a bit wilted, they were still fresh and were harvested in the afternoon. Since it was almost nightfall, she wondered if they could get them even cheaper?

She hesitated, wondering whether to ask her second brother to buy those two cabbages… even one would be fine.

Such was the embarrassment of depending on others and having no money of her own.

Clenching the cloth bag with silver needles in her hand, she decided against it. She had already spent a lot of her second brother’s money, so she should save every cent she could.

Xiao Yishan followed Su Qingyue’s gaze and guessed that his wife might want to eat some vegetables. He quickly called out to the granny ahead, “Old lady, wait a moment!”

Seeing the big and scarred Xiao Yishan approaching, the old granny retreated in fear, “Young man, what… what do you want to do?”

“Don’t be afraid, old lady.” Xiao Yishan tried to show only his unscarred right side of the face to the granny, “My wife wants to eat some vegetables, so I just wanted to ask how much are you selling the cabbages?”

The old granny patted her chest and looked over at Su Qingyue standing a few steps away, confirming that there was indeed a little wife following him, and that she hadn’t encountered any evildoers. She then let her guard down, “These cabbages are quite big, picked at noon, originally selling for two cents each.

But since it’s getting dark, I’ll give you a discount, two cabbages for two cents.”

Xiao Yishan put two cents in the granny’s vegetable basket and picked up the two cabbages. He looked at Su Qingyue and saw the corners of her lips lift into a smile.

It seemed that his wife was happy because he bought the two cabbages.

At the same time, he felt a pang in his heart.

He had failed to provide her with a good life, and he didn’t even know she wanted to eat vegetables.

Xiao Yuchuan also noticed Qingyue’s longing gaze at the cabbages earlier. He intended to buy them for her, but when his brother went ahead first, he decided not to make a move, “Wife, it’s my fault that I didn’t realize you wanted to eat vegetables these days. My injury has healed now, and I’ll work hard to make money from tomorrow on. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you..”
