I exist to butcher Translations 😂
--
It was getting colder and colder each day so Gu Chunzhu's footsteps involuntarily walked towards Buzhuang planning to pull a few feet of cotton cloth to make clothes for the children.
When she arrived at Buzhuang,
Gu Chunzhu's footsteps softened a lot.
She bought two cotton cloth enough to make two set of childrens clothes.
After that, only three silvers and fifteen coppers left in the originally eight silvers she had.
Peasant's life is so hard!
Gu Chunzhu lamented in his heart.
Gu Chunzhu wanted to go home quickly, thinking about catching more shrimp in the afternoon, and selling it in town for a good amount of money.
When she passed the bun shop of the kind-hearted lady last time, she paused, thinking of her promise to Xiaocheng to come back and bring them delicious food.
She walked into the bun stall
"Ma'am, I'm here to buy steamed buns again." Gu Chunzhu called out.
The busy woman turned her head and recognized Gu Chunzhu. Her expression changed a little, she said, "Sister-in-law didn't arrive on time. The business is good today, the buns are sold out."
"That's okay. Let's have two pieces of sugar cake then " Gu Chunzhu took out the copper coins from his arms.
"Two coppers." Auntie took out two pieces of sugar cake from the steamer that were cut a little bigger and wrapped it up.
She just lied a while ago, there were actually buns available but she didn't allow herself to do good deeds several times. That's why she didn't. She didn't bargain with Gu Chunzhu this time.
"Auntie Xie, your buns are really good. My son and daughter loves to eat them. Next time I earn money, I'll come to patronize you often."
Gu Chunzhu can also figure out some things from Auntie's face.
But she still likes this aunt very much, no one is obliged to do charity, she has no negative views on this behavior.

Gu Chunzhu stuffed the sugar cake on herbchest and hurried back to Xiaohe Village.
As soon as she returned home, She saw the two children crouching in the yard. Their eyes were as red as rabbits. They wiped their tears with their dirty hands. Their faces also dirty.
"What's the matter, who bullied you."
Gu Chunzhu went in and didn't even have time to put down the basket, she squatted down and pulled An'an into her arms. She reached out to pull Xiaocheng's hand, and this time she wasn't pushed away.
This child, Xiaocheng, although she only spent a few days with them.
She knew that his temperament was extremely stable. Ordinary trivial matters would not make him cry like this.
"Don't cry, don't cry, mother brought you sugar cakes, talk about what happened, even if the sky fell down, your mother and father is here to bear it!"
Gu Chunzhu took out the sugar cake from his arms and showed them to the two children but they were so dirty and could n’t eat it right now. They would get sick if they got bacteria in their mouths.
She wonder if her words played a role, or if it was the temptation of sugar cakes.
An An stopped crying first, but she was still a kid and kept choking, Gu Chunzhu couldn't pry her anything, so she had to look at Xiao Cheng.
Xiaocheng lowered his head, his mouth tightly squeezed, tears dropped onto his eyes.
When he saw Gu Chunzhu's eyes, his hand pointed towards the vegetable field.
Gu Chunzhu stood up holding An'an and looked over. The vegetable field was on the side of the hut.
When Gu Chunzhu came in, his eyes were attracted by the two children.
She didn't pay attention to the scenery there.
This is a mess.
The spinach seedlings were pulled out of the soil, and the ground was a mess. Those seedlings that already dangled their leaves under the sun, was pulled out from its root and was quickly dried under the sun, same as the leeks and other vegetables, even the weeds could not escape the poisonous hands. Only the garlic cloves buried in the soil remained.

"This ..." Gu Chunzhu's eyes dimmed, her footsteps about to fall. She thought of holding An'an in her arms and hold her, but her face was as white as paper.
Which damn wicked person did this, isn't it to break the way of life!
"Waa! Mother ... We don't have any vegetables ... to Eat, ..." An An burst into tears and buried his head in Gu Chunzhu's shoulder.
Even children know how important this vegetable garden is to their home.
"Be good, don't cry!"
Gu Chunzhu was also heartbroken. Don't let her find out who ruined their vegetable garden, otherwise she will ruin that person!
"Wangqin's, what's what's going on the child is crying so loudly" Fusister-in-law sighed and pushed the door open.
She thought Gu Chunzhu was beating the children again. She wanted to come in and pull a handful but seeing the mother and son standing next to the destroyed vegetable garden, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. .
" Who the hell did this!."
Fu's sister-in-law said in distressed. Everthing was pulled out from the soil, It was most likely to destroy the crop seedlings.
"Our family has no land and no fields, so we are counting on the vegetable garden to plant some food. I don’t know who I offended, doing this to our family." Gu Chunzhu said, she could n’t help biting her lips.
"Wangqin's family, its useless to be angry. There are some people in the village who don't treat well. I'll go and shovel some vegetable seedlings for you." Fu's sister-in-law went home to shovel vegetable seedlings.
When she came over again, Gu Chunzhu had suppressed the anger in his heart. She picked up the thrown vegetable seedlings and piled them up in one place. The two children's faces were also washed clean, sitting on the wooden pier with half a piece of sugar cake.
"There are not too many vegetable seedlings in my family, this is all that I can get." Fusister-in-law said embarrassed.
Gu Chunzhu took the vegetable seedlings and stuffed a piece of sugar cake in her.
"Thank you sister-in-law, if I don't have you, I don't know what to do!"
"Your family's life is already very difficult, I can't take your things anymore. " Sister-in-law Fu said vigorously.
"Sister-in-law must keep it. I sold river prawns today and made few copper plates. The sugar cake I bought here is not worth the money. If you don't accept it, I don't want this vegetable seedling. People pulled it out, did it not lose the sister-in-law's things? "
Gu Chunzhu said firmly.
Fu's sister-in-law took it, comforted Gu Chunzhu and went home to make lunch.
Gu Chunzhu watched the two children nibbling the sugar cake, and then bowed her head to start planting vegetable seedlings. She didn't want to throw out the vegetable seedlings that were pulled out so she planted them again. She just didn't know if they could live.
The two children were full after eating the sugar cakes. They stayed at home and watch the vegetable seedlings while Gu Chunzhu ate cold sweet potato and went to the river to catch shrimp.
Gu Chunzhu was dumbfounded when she reached the river.
Her position was occupied by someone else. This person was an acquaintance. It was Qiu-shi from the second room of the Su family who had a fight with her.In addition to her, several people also held thin bamboo poles and shrimp fishing.
As soon as Gu Chunzhu came, everyone stopped talking.

I wonder who miss me 😂

I would start school at Montgomery Prep next week and move in tonight. I would leave all of my friends behind in this small crammed cabin and try to survive off of the measly amount of money given to me by the leaders. To say I'm scared is an understatement.
