Ox-cart!

Lin Suisui didn’t expect Lu Ze’s words to really have an effect. Following that, Pei Qian didn’t cause any more trouble. He actually ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup and ate it with Lin Suisui and the others.

“I didn’t expect Madam Liu to have such good medical skills.”

After eating and drinking his fill, Pei Qian started making things difficult for her again. His words sounded casual, but Lin Suisui knew very well that Pei Qian, who was good at torture, wouldn’t say anything without reason.

“I only know a little. When I was young, I helped an elder at home. Sometimes, when he was free, he would teach me a little. I was actually lucky to save that woman this time.”

“Speaking of which, it’s because the son-in-law of that family isn’t very responsible. If he had immediately taken his wife to the medical center when the carriages collided, his wife wouldn’t have had to suffer.”

Lin Suisui didn’t hide it. Anyway, this matter couldn’t be hidden.

She simply told him everything. Of course, she didn’t forget to scold Third Young Master Wang.

This also answered Pei Qian’s question.

It was unknown if it was because Lin Suisui had answered too thoroughly this time or if Pei Qian was not interested in these trivial matters, but after Lin Suisui finished speaking, he didn’t ask anything else. Instead, he stood up slowly and left.

“I didn’t expect him to be so petty!”

They originally only wanted to eat two bowls of noodles, but now, they had to pay for three bowls!

Lin Suisui, who had been forced to treat Pei Qian to a bowl of noodles, gritted her teeth and muttered, “Fortunately, we didn’t believe him and didn’t go to the restaurant to eat. Otherwise, wouldn’t we have to pay for his share?!”

Lu Ze held back his laughter and protected the little girl as they walked out of the city.

For once, Pei Qian didn’t ask where Lu Ze and Lin Suisui had gone after he left. He only stood in the dark alley with Qian He, who was worried.

“Prince, if you…”

“I’m fine.” Pei Qian coughed softly with his fist against his lips. He actually felt that his nausea was not that intense today. “Let’s go back.”

It was already late when Lin Suisui and Lu Ze returned to the camp. Mrs. Luo was finally relieved when she saw them return. She came over and exchanged a few words with Lin Suisui before returning.

Lu Ze and Lin Suisui had a tiring day, so they naturally fell asleep quickly at night.

The next morning, Lu Ze and Lin Suisui entered the city early like yesterday. They still had a lot of things to buy. For convenience’s sake, Lin Suisui had discussed with Lu Ze last night if they should fork out some money to buy a one-wheeled cart like Mrs. Luo’s.

However, the two of them were still discussing when they were stopped by an acquaintance who had been waiting there.

This person was none other than the servant beside Sun Wan’er, whom Lin Suisui had interacted with yesterday.

“Madam Sun was worried after you went back yesterday. Madam Sun thought that you must have lacked a lot of things along the way, so she instructed me to go to your refugee camp early in the morning to send these things to you.”

The person who alighted from the carriage at the side was Sun Wan’er’s sister-in-law, Madam Sun. She smiled and explained to Lin Suisui, “You guys came from the south and don’t know the hardships of our northern region.

If you guys go further north, you would probably need a padded jacket.

Because we were in a hurry, we didn’t have time to prepare much. We only prepared some cotton clothes, cotton shoes, blankets, some cloth, and food.

By the way, this ox cart was specifically prepared for you.

This ox tooth is light yet strong and sturdy. You can use it as a means of transportation. When you reach the camp, it can even help you clear land. It’s really useful.”

“You’re being too polite. I already received the consultation fee yesterday. These things are worth a lot. I’ll pay you silver!”

Lin Suisui was shocked by the things that Madam Sun Zhou had prepared. Although many of the things on it were urgently needed, she had already accepted their consultation fee yesterday. She would really feel a little guilty if she accepted these today.

“Don’t stand on ceremony. You saved my sister and the child in her womb. How can money repay such a huge favor?! We gave the consultation fee, but you’re not a doctor and could have avoided the trouble, but you chose to take the initiative to help and get involved in this mess.

To be honest, you didn’t know about the situation when you were treating my sister yesterday.

When our family found out that something had happened to my sister, we immediately sent all our servants out to look for a midwife and a doctor. However, no one in North Sea City was willing to come.

Everyone knew how to seek benefits and avoid trouble. Only you were benevolent enough to help.

Therefore, don’t refuse. This silver is really nothing to our family. Just accept it!”

Madam Sun Zhou smiled and rejected Lin Suisui’s plan to give her money. She had immense gratitude for Lin Suisui. “It’s getting late, so I won’t delay the two of you any longer. When you get to the base and make the arrangements, you must get the local Sun family’s merchants to send a message back.”

“Alright, don’t worry. When the time comes, we’ll definitely send you a letter.”

Lin Suisui nodded and didn’t reject Madam Sun Zhou’s kindness anymore. She accepted the spacious ox cart.

This tung oil caravan seemed to have been the back of the carriage in the past. At this moment, as Sun Zhou had said, most of it was stuffed with things. There were cotton clothes that Lin Suisui and the others were preparing to buy, as well as ingredients like rice and grains.

In short, it was obvious that they had really prepared it carefully. These were the most suitable items for a long journey. These were definitely not perfunctorily prepared.

“Then we just need to buy some condiments, ginger, and dried chili.” Lin Suisui turned to look at Lu Ze and then at the docile water buffalo. She suddenly thought of a problem. She reached out and tugged at Lu Ze’s sleeve, then asked in a low voice, “Do you know how to drive an ox cart?!”

“It should be similar to driving a carriage.” As Lu Ze spoke, he had already reached out and wrapped his arm around Lin Suisui’s waist. He carried her to the shaft and sat her down. Then, under the little girl’s angry gaze, he calmly walked around the car and walked to the other side of the shaft. He jumped into the carriage easily and smiled at the little girl who was still angry. “Whether I know or not, we’ll know after I try!”
