“Second Uncle!” Qiao Zhongxing, to Qiao Mu’s great anticipation, finally returned, so how could she be anything but happy?

With a little bun in tow, Qiao Mu walked out and was met with a muscular man whose face was dark from the sun standing at the entrance and looking at her with a grin.

“Second Uncle, thank you for your hard work.” Second Uncle looked quite fatigued from running around outside during this period of time.

Thankfully, Second Uncle was there to help her purchase supplies. Otherwise, at her young age of seven, her hands would truly be tied for some things.

“Second Brother is back, hurry, come in and sit down. Your eldest brother is inside the house.” Wei Ziqin came out and welcomed with a smile.

“No need, Eldest Sister-in-Law. I will rest after business is over.” Qiao Zhongxing shook his head with a smile and turned to Qiao Mu, making a hand gesture. “Qiaoqiao, let’s go. There were too many things, so they couldn’t be pulled inside the village. Second Uncle had the caravan gather at the base of Hulan Mountain. Let’s head over to take a look now.”

“Alright.” Qiao Mu nodded and secretly complimented Second Uncle. “It’s good that it’s pulled to Hulan Mountain. After dismissing the other people, I can organize the supplies without worry that the villagers will become green with envy and attract greedy folks like Madam née Li and Qiao Yingchun.”

Seeing that Qiao Lin was about to ditch her and run off on her own, Qiao Lin’s large eyes blinked and turned glossy, tears nearly falling down.

Qiao Mu poked the baby fat on her cheeks. “No crying. If you cry, Sister won’t give you good food. When Sister comes back, she will give you a giant, incredibly delicious peach. You will only get to eat it if you behave!”

Qiao Lin’s little face immediately cleared its rain and turned sunny, nodding with a bright smile. This caused Wei Ziqin, who had picked her up to gently pat her, to be both amused and exasperated.

After Qiao Mu finished pacifying her sister, she followed Second Uncle’s footsteps and swiftly walked toward the base of Hulan Mountain.

The area around Hulan Mountain was very desolate, so Qiao Zhongxing was not worried about villagers stumbling into the site and seeing the large amount of supplies. As he rapidly walked, he told Qiao Mu with a smile, “Qiaoqiao, Second Uncle did not fail your expectations and managed to purchase nearly everything that you requested. Can Qiaoqiao tell me why you bought so many things now?”

Qiao Mu nodded and pulled out the story she gave her mother again to deceive Second Uncle.

After hearing this, Qiao Zhongxing’s expression turned solemn. “Then, we should leave Qiaotou Village as soon as possible, how about we move to Fang Clan Village…”

Only

Qiao Mu shook her head in haste. “Second Uncle, Fang Clan Village is too near here. There is no guarantee that the enemies of the evil factions won’t find us. For our safety, the best strategy is to move to Xijiu City immediately. Xijiu City has city guards, so even if the evil factions catch up to us, they will weigh the consequences before acting. This way, they naturally won’t attack us brazenly.”

Qiao Zhongxing nodded along as he listened to her, inwardly marveling at his niece’s consideration. It was a wonder how she thoroughly took care of everything at her young age; it truly left many adults in the dust.

“Alright, then let’s depart as soon as possible after we collect all the supplies.”

No wonder they were father and son. Second Uncle was just like Xiao Hu, another one quick to action. Qiao Mu was somewhat exasperated. With Second Uncle leading, they reached the gathering spot for the caravan, and a glance revealed that there were at least 25 carriages.

Qiao Mu was delighted, thinking that Second Uncle probably spent all of the money before returning.

Spending money is good! In a few days, money will be worth nothing. At that time, even if you went out with an armful of gold and jewelry, there might not be anyone who would be willing to trade a bun with you.

“Come, Qiaoqiao, let Second Uncle tell you about these supplies.” At the mention of the purchased items, Second Uncle immediately became full of zest.
