In an instant, the mother and grandchildren became grandparents.
Then Mingyue took the child to see a doctor, got some medicine to treat the cold, and ate a large bowl of wontons with the child on the side of the road.
It's sad to say that, as the least favored people in the Zhou family, the mother and daughter have never had a full and quiet meal like they did today.
During a normal meal, when the Zhou family members saw Zhou Pandi and the original owner, their faces suddenly fell.
Mrs. Zhou Huang said that it was a waste for the stuttering child to eat, and that she was not allowed to eat this or that. She also said that it was useless to eat so much food for a hen that did not lay eggs, because she would not be able to give birth to a son. She kept the mother and daughter very tightly controlled, as if they would kill her if they were full.
It can only be said that people of the same family stick together. The other sisters-in-law were fanning the flames, and each of them wished they could have all those things in their own hands.
Zhou Panddi was originally a premature baby and did not get enough nutrition. No wonder she is almost five years old but looks like a three-year-old child.
But this child is very sensible and caring. After eating only three wontons, she opened her clear and bright eyes and said crisply: "Mom, grandma is full, Pandi, I am full, grandma, eat."
After changing into this outfit, Mingyue asked Zhou Pandidi to change his address and remember to call her grandmother when he was outside.
Mingyue lowered her eyes to look at her, and saw that when she said this, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Wonton and swallow her saliva. She was really adorable.
"Silly girl, I know you are not full. You don't have to lie to me. Eat. If it is not enough, just order more." Mingyue touched her head, and the face painted as an old woman smiled lovingly: "Don't worry, we don't have to look at people's faces anymore, and we will be full every meal in the future."
Zhou Pandi's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Really?"
Mingyue nodded and told her seriously: "There will be no bad guys in the future, just the two of us."
Zhou Pandi's face instantly broke into a bright smile, "Okay, just me, mother, grandmother and I."
Anyway, her mother was the only one who treated her well in the family. Her grandmother and aunt only scolded her, and her brothers only bullied her, not only pulling her pigtails but also pinching her. Her father never even looked at her. She only liked her mother and didn't like anyone in that family at all.
So it’s good that she has a mother.
After eating, Mingyue did not waste any more time. She hunched over and took Zhou Pandi's hand and staggered to the door of the escort agency.
The original owner was a very honest person. He had never left this small county in his life and knew nothing about the outside world. As a result, Mingyue's mind was completely empty now and she had not figured out where to go next.
However, the people from the escort agency have traveled all over the country, so it would be right to ask them.
Because Mingyue and her partner did not look like important customers, no one in the escort agency received them seriously. Only a young and inexperienced escort came up and started chatting with Mingyue with great interest.
When the young escort heard Mingyue asking about the characteristics of these cities and which cities could make money, he became even more excited.
"Wangnan City is a place of outstanding people and rich in jade. I heard that people there love to gamble on jade. Once they find good jade, they will become rich overnight. Fengxi City is famous for weaving and embroidery. The embroiderers there are all talented and a piece of embroidery can be sold at a sky-high price. Luochuan City is a famous flower city. A pot of top-quality peonies attracts thousands of people and is worth at least ten thousand gold. And there is also Heju City..."
When the young escort talked about the rumors he had heard from his predecessors, his eyes were full of longing and envy.
Mingyue's mind was constantly working, thinking about which place was more suitable for her.
Gambling on jade itself is full of uncertainties, but there should be spiritual energy inside the jade, and Feishuang in her sea of consciousness is a spiritual pet. Her sensitivity to spiritual energy can almost guarantee that she will get a stone containing jade.
I have never been exposed to embroidery, but her painting skills are very good. Perhaps we can consider cooperating with the embroiderer for a win-win situation.
She had never raised peonies, but in the previous plane, she had worked with a group of old farmers to grow high-yield crops, and learned how to graft and mutate. She also didn't know if two varieties of peonies blooming on the same branch were considered top-quality.
As for cooking, she is not very good at it, but she has tried a lot of things, such as fried chicken, braised food, cakes, milk tea and hot pot, and she doesn't need any secret recipes to make them, which is enough to make quick money.
… Overall, although Mingyue is not omnipotent, she will never starve to death in this world.
But we still have to consider the distance of the journey. Mingyue coughed and said, "Brother, do you have a map here? Can I borrow it to take a look?"
The young escort nodded: "Map, of course I have it, I'll get it for you right away."
Mingyue bent her waist a little more: "Thank you for your help, little brother."
The young escort scratched his head: "No, you're welcome."
The other escorts saw this, pursed their lips and shook their heads, winking at each other and calling the young escort a fool.
After a while, the escort took out the map.
Mingyue took it and looked at it, and immediately decided on the next itinerary.
So she asked the young escort: "If I ask you to escort me and my granddaughter to Fengxi City, how much would you charge?"
Probably because they heard the word "fee", the old escorts who had been bragging on the side and didn't take it seriously, surrounded them in a few minutes.
"Old lady, are you going to Fengxi City? I am familiar with this place. I go to Fengxi City often. As long as you give me five taels of silver, I will ensure that you two, the grandparents and grandchildren, can be safely sent to your destination."
"I also go to Fengxi City frequently. I will help someone deliver a letter there in a couple of days. Old lady, if you come with me, I will give you a discount. Four ounces and eight cents will be enough."
"I'm fine with that too. Just one price. Give me four ounces and five cents."
"I… "
"Wang Laosan, Zhou Mazi, Chen Fugui, what do you mean? Are you trying to steal our business?"
"You are not yet..."
It took only a few words, but the group of bodyguards almost came to a fight.
Mingyue then realized that the escorts of this escort agency were somewhat like modern couriers. A small escort order could be completed by two people, and the commission was probably not small, no wonder they were fighting like this.
But Mingyue was not a fool. She had already seen the difference in their attitudes. She really didn't dare to entrust anyone with the care of someone like them who was rude at first but respectful later.
So she looked at the young escort who was squeezed in at the back and said with a smile: "It was you who solved my problem earlier. Since one guest does not bother two hosts, then you should escort me and my granddaughter."
The young escort had been looking depressed and hopeless, but he didn't expect that such luck would fall on his head, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He nodded calmly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just take four taels of silver from you."
The other escorts never expected that after all their fighting, the benefit would eventually fall on the head of this rookie.
However, some people suggested that the young escort had never escorted anyone alone, and had never escorted others, so he probably had no experience and was not qualified for the job.
But Mingyue insisted not to care, so those old escorts could only leave angrily.
