I insist

Chapter 507: Shopping

“I believe in King Jing’s character. He has been stationed at the border for many years and has treated the people there very well. Moreover, I do not want more people to get involved because of my situation.”

Yu Huailin glanced at General Mu and the others indifferently, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

After listening to Yu Huailin's words, General Mu finally agreed, saying, "Alright, since the prince has already said so, we will listen to you."

However, I hope the prince will be careful in everything he does.

Yu Huailin nodded slightly.

When Qiu Tianlei and the others woke up, they did not see Yu Huailin. Fearing that Song Miqiu had really abandoned him, he quickly spoke up.

“Mother, let’s wait a little longer. Brother Yu is a very busy man. He probably has a lot of things to take care of here. We should understand him, shouldn’t we?”

Song Miqiu glanced at Qiu Tianlei indifferently: "You really have the guts to trust Yu Huailin? Aren't you afraid he'll sell you out?"

Qiu Tianlei suddenly burst into laughter: "Mother, don't worry, even if Brother Yu sells himself, he won't sell me. I trust him."

Song Miqiu carefully examined Qiu Tianlei, and finally said to Tian Yumei, "Yumei, we originally planned to go to other places..."

But Yu Huailin hasn't come back yet, and it doesn't seem right for us to just leave like this. Staying at the inn indefinitely isn't ideal either, so we're thinking of selling one of our courtyard houses. What do you think?

"If Mother thinks it's good, then it's fine. But we need to take it slow. If the person selling the courtyard sees that we're in a hurry, they might raise the price, which wouldn't be worth it."

Although Tian Yumei knew that Song Miqiu was capable, she still couldn't help but interject.

Song Miqiu nodded seriously: "You're right, that's true. Okay, let's go take a look and see if there's anything you like."

The family of five set off together. They looked at many courtyards and finally chose a small one that would be enough for the whole family to stay in.

After tidying up the yard, Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei exchanged a glance.

Both of them were restless and realized that they wouldn't be able to leave this place anytime soon, so they decided to do something.

"Mother, we just discussed it and decided to open another stall. What do you think?" Qiu Tianlei asked.

Song Miqiu didn't want to get too involved in the young couple's affairs. She said calmly, "You two can handle your own matters."

Don't ask me everything. But you two, don't rush. First, check the surrounding environment and see if this area is suitable for opening a small stall.

"Mother, don't worry, we know what we're doing." Qiu Tianlei said confidently.

Song Miqiu said, "I know you two know what's good for you, but some things are unpredictable. You two haven't experienced them before, so you don't quite understand."

How about this, I'll go with you to check out the neighborhood, what do you think?

"Of course it's good. Mother is more knowledgeable and experienced, she's definitely better than us," Tian Yumei said with a smile.

"It would be best if Mother could come along. Let's go then. The wet nurse is taking care of the child, so we don't need to help."

Qiu Tianlei pulled Song Miqiu and Tian Yumei outside.

Because of Song Miqiu, the three of them dressed like wealthy people, and anyone who met them couldn't help but take a second look.

"There are people selling themselves to bury their fathers ahead. Let's hurry over and take a look. And it seems to be particularly cheap."

"Selling oneself to bury one's father? There's such a thing? Let's go over there quickly and see who's selling themselves to bury their father."

The two men were speaking, and when they talked about selling themselves to bury their father, their eyes lit up considerably, clearly indicating that they were not good people.

Qiu Tianlei listened to their conversation, somewhat confused, and asked in bewilderment, "It's just selling oneself to bury one's father, why do they seem so excited?"

Although Qiu Tianlei hadn't treated his wife very well before, he hadn't had any other thoughts, so he naturally didn't know what the other men were thinking.

“If you’re interested, you can go and take a look,” Song Miqiu said softly.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tianlei glanced at Tian Yumei and said, "We came out to do something, not to watch someone sell themselves into servitude to bury their father. Besides, who knew about this 'selling oneself into servitude to bury one's father'?"

"What kind of person is he? We don't lack servants. If he were as old as Xiaoshuang and the others, I might consider him as a playmate."

Song Miqiu was quite satisfied with Qiu Tianlei's words. She thought he would think of something like a woman, but he only thought of a child.

Originally, Song Miqiu and the other two could have walked straight through, but they did not expect that the person who sold himself to bury his father was watching the people outside.

Upon seeing them appear, she hurriedly said loudly, "My father has fallen ill, and I, being incompetent, have used up all the family's money, but still could not save him."

Dear fellow villagers, I am now selling myself to bury my father; please help me.

Although that's what they said to the people, their eyes never left Song Miqiu and the other two, especially Qiu Tianlei.

The woman even sized up Qiu Tianlei, and finding him not bad, she began to louder and louder recount her tragic fate.

She was initially confident that Qiu Tianlei and the others would come, but to her surprise, they didn't even look at her and just walked past, which left her feeling extremely frustrated.

In order not to let Qiu Tianlei, this hot commodity, get away, the woman didn't care about anything else and rushed forward to hug him.

"Young master, please, for my sake, help me out of this miserable state. I'll do anything for you, even serve you like a slave," the woman said, clinging to his leg.

The woman was fantasizing about a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, but the next second she heard something that left her speechless.

Suddenly, Qiu Tianlei was hugged. He trembled all over, his voice shaking, clearly terrified. He cried out, "Mother, look at me!"

What is wrapped around my leg? I can't move it at all. Am I poisoned?

As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell silent, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"It's definitely poisoning, a beauty poison. Brother, how can you be so afraid of such a beautiful woman? It hurts her feelings."

"That's right, she only asked you for help out of so many people. You should help her quickly. You seem to be rich and powerful, surely you have some money."

Upon hearing the sound, Qiu Tianlei opened his eyes and glanced at who was holding his leg, but he immediately pulled his leg out of her grasp.

He then quickly hid behind Tian Yumei and said, "Miss, I can't help you. I don't have any money either. Why don't you ask someone else?"

"Mother, wife, let's hurry up and leave, or we'll have no money left."
