Aunt Ke’s culinary skills were not bad. Dinner was porridge with pancakes and pickled vegetables. The few of them ate very contentedly.

When they returned to their room later, Madam Yang and the other two quickly fell asleep. However, Gu Yundong kept his eyes open and looked at the bed curtains. She was not sleepy at all.

She had already developed the habit of keeping watch at night. When she suddenly calmed down, she actually could not fall asleep.

With Gu Yunke in her arms, the little girl even snuggled up to her when she was asleep. She looked very dependent.

Gu Yundong suddenly felt a warmth in her heart when she saw her purse her lips and move.

It was great. They were finally not wandering around homelessly anymore and would not encounter inexplicable danger. They could eat hot food and sleep on a soft bed.

They even had family.

Gu Yundong gradually relaxed and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, she went out with two taels of silver.

Aunt Ke had said that she had to cook her own food today. Now that she had settled down, she still had many things to buy. At the very least, she could not use the landlord’s food.

However, she only had two taels of silver, and she had to buy a lot of things. The prices in the prefecture city were not cheap either.

It seemed that she had to ask for the debt that was owed her.

Gu Yundong went straight to the government office, but the guard at the door said that Nie Cong was not there. He seemed to have gone to arrest someone.

Gu Yundong could only go shopping with two taels of silver to see if there was anywhere nearby that she could earn money.

After walking around, she gave up. There were many refugees in the city. She asked around and found out that these people only needed food and accommodation to work. They did not need to be paid at all.

Wasn’t this destroying the market? How could work be for free?

Gu Yundong sighed heavily and went to the market Aunt Ke had told her about.

The market was lively. Gu Yundong bought a few vegetables, onions, ginger, and garlic, and went to cut two catties of meat. After walking around, she suddenly realized that there was a stall in the corner selling apples.

When the stall owner saw her stop, he immediately greeted her warmly, “Miss, come and take a look at this sand fruit. This is good stuff. It’s sour and sweet, and it can quench thirst. The doctor said that it can help with digestion and treatment. I specially brought it over from Yan Province. We don’t have it here, and it’s not expensive. Ten copper coins each. Miss, how many do you want?”

Ten copper coins each? Everyone in your prefecture knew how to rob, right? Forget it, she had it in her spatial storage.

Gu Yundong turned around and left. The vendor hurriedly called out to her, “Hey, Miss, don’t leave. The price is negotiable. It can be cheaper.”

Gu Yundong walked even faster and left the market with the basket.

Then, she went into the rice and grain shop and bought a bucket of rice and two catties of white flour. She turned around and went to the grocery store to buy oil, salt, cutlery, and so on.

She began to miss modern large supermarkets.

Initially, she wanted to go to the cloth shop to get some cloth, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. They could still wear the two sets of clothes after washing them. She would buy cloth when she had money. Currently… she was poor.

After buying everything, Gu Yundong could no longer carry all the items. She took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention when she turned into a corner and stuffed a portion into her spatial storage.

Then, she held the remaining tael of silver and slowly went home.

Money was really something that was used quickly.

Aunt Ke was not at home. When Gu Yundong entered the courtyard, Gu Yunke ran over and hugged her thigh. “Eldest Sister, what did you buy?”

“I’ll cook braised pork for you later.” Gu Yundong lowered the basket for her to take a look.

The little girl swallowed her saliva. “What’s braised pork?”

Gu Yundong remembered that in the past, in the Gu family, their family could barely eat meat, let alone Gu Yunke, who was so young.

Moreover, Mrs. Zhao would not cook braised pork for them.
