Chapter 20

Where Are My Clothes? Where Did My Clothes Go..

“I can’t make it in time for the ox-cart. Oh no, oh no…” Dumby tugged at the little goofy hair on its head and looked around anxiously. “Where are my clothes? Where did my clothes go…”

Lingbao was also looking for clothes anxiously.

Gu Lin looked at the two of them and could not help but laugh. “I’m just teasing you. It’s still early. You guys take your time to find some clothes to wear and then wash up. We’ll go to town after breakfast.”

Dumby and Lingbao looked at Gu Lin faintly.

When did their big brother learn to be so naughty?

After a simple breakfast, Gu Qingxue carried a bamboo basket on her back and went out with her three children to look for the ox carriage.

“Mother, do you really not need to hide the pig head inside the house?” Lingbao asked Gu Qingxue worriedly.

Gu Lin and Lingbao were also a little worried about this problem.

Their mother had beaten up Madam Yu yesterday, so Madam Yu would not let this matter rest. She would definitely come to their house.

If Madam Yu went to their house today and found the pig’s head hanging in the yard, she would definitely take it away.

Their mother had said that the meat on the pig’s head was also very delicious, especially the pig’s ears. They could be eaten cold, and they would be crisp and especially delicious.

They were all waiting to eat the pig’s ears with salad.

“No need, don’t worry,” Gu Qingxue said to the three children with a smile. “If anyone dares to take the pig’s head away, mother has a lot of ways to make them pay back two pigs’ heads.”

The three kids were still worried, but they did not want to doubt their mother’s words, so they all nodded obediently.

The nearest town to Dafu Village was Qingyuan Town. It would take two hours to go from Dafu village to Qingyuan town by ox carriage, and each person would need five copper coins. It would only take one hour to go by horse-cart.

Both the horse-cart and the ox-cart needed to go to the village entrance.

Gu Qingxue brought the three children to the village entrance.

There were already many people waiting here to go to the town market, both men and women.

When the men saw Gu Qingxue, their eyes were first filled with amazement, then they shifted their gazes uncomfortably to the side.

It was because Gu Qingxue was a widow. If any man had an ambiguous relationship with a widow in this day and age, he would be condemned by the world, and even worse, he would be drowned in a pig cage.

When the women saw Gu Qingxue, they looked at her as if they had seen the G.o.d of plague, giving her a disdainful look.

“Hey, isn’t this the Gu family? How could you bear to bring the children out?” A voice full of ridicule rang out among the women.

Gu Qingxue recognized who the voice belonged to.

It was Madam w.a.n.g, who lived not far from her home.

Her body looked exactly the same as the one in her previous life. She was too flirtatious, and it was easy to be labeled as a troublemaker.

Madam w.a.n.g’s man had once coveted the original owner of this body of hers and secretly tried to curry favor with her. After being discovered by Madam w.a.n.g, he caused a big scene at home. Now that the man met Gu Qingxue, he did not even dare to look at her again.

However, Madam w.a.n.g held a grudge against the original owner of this body of hers, and they often caused trouble for the original owner.

Gu Qingxue could not be bothered with Madam w.a.n.g and treated it as if she was farting. She lowered her head and asked the three little cubs, “Are you guys cold?”

The three cubs shook their heads, indicating that they were not cold.

“When we get to town, we’ll go buy some new clothes to change into,” Gu Qingxue said gently.

The clothes the three children were wearing were very tattered, and she felt really uncomfortable looking at them.
