"I think we should get a carriage," announced Yu Dong as she placed the piping hot breakfast on the table. Today's breakfast was Jian Bing, made from millet flour and eggs. It is a tasty crepe filled with egg, spring onions, fried wanton chili sauce, and bean sauce. Because Yu Dong was filled with adrenaline after letting go of her previous life's virgin status. She used all that energy to cook this new dish that she hadn't cooked before.

  "This - what's the occasion?" Chen Mi picked up a Jian Bing and took a bite. The savory taste of bean sauce and chili sauce exploded in his mouth, so tasty, so damn tasty.

  Chen Mi happily munched on his crepe while Little bun shot him a disdainful glance as he looked at his daddy's flabby belly. Eat, Eat, Eat! Keep eating until you burst!

  The first thing Ye Liu saw when he returned after taking a bath was Chen Mi happily eating the Jian Bing. Though he hadn't eaten it before, Ye Liu could smell the spicy and tantalizing scent wafting all around the kitchen. He looked at Chen Mi and laughed before rubbing his head, "You should consider yourself lucky that you don't need to breastfeed, or else you would have missed all the tasty food."

  "Don't mess my hair, brother Liu" whined Chen Mi. He was around the age when young mers liked to make themselves look pretty. Earlier, he used to worry about his meals and couldn't think about anything else. Now that the meals and all of the other responsibilities were taken by Yu Dong, Chen Mi no longer had to worry about anything else. He could use his free time to make himself look pretty. "I worked really hard on my hair today!"

  "Oh, is that so?" Ye Liu asked with a smile. He could see that Chen Mi has put in extra effort to tie his hair today. He had partitioned his hair to be at an uneven length while keeping his bangs falling to one side and the rest of his hair tied on the other side in a side half ponytail. Well, calling it a ponytail would be giving it face. Chen Mi had let his entire hair loose and only tied a ribbon at the very end. Above his ear, he had decorated his hair with a simple yet fancy silver hair clip. "But why are you dressed up like that?"

  Chen Mi didn't answer right away. He first swallowed the bite he was eating, then looked at Ye Liu with a sly grin that read, 'you don't know what I know,' which confused Ye Liu further. However, Chen Mi 'the good boy' didn't have any ideas about taunting his brother Liu any further, so he truthfully responded, "I'm going to town with Wife."

  "To town?" frowning, Ye Liu looked at Yu Dong, who just walked out of the kitchen with another plate of Jian Bing. She sat down after giving two to Ye Liu and leaving the rest for Yu Mai. "Why do you need to go to the town? Is Sister Cao sick? No, wait! It's not the time for us to deliver the alcohol yet! Why are you going to the town?"

  Yu Dong blinked her eyes and then scooped a little bit of mashed rice with egg soup and helped Little bun eat. She answered, "It's like this. I'm thinking of buying a carriage."

  "A carriage? Why? That won't come cheap!" Though they were earning a very decent sum of money, Ye Liu still didn't like to waste money on things that he thought were useless. Items like this so-called carriage, why do they need to buy a carriage?

  "Well, indeed, we are not in dire need of a carriage. But I think it's best to buy a mule and carriage," said Yu Dong as she began her explanation. "Every time we go to the town, we have to borrow Aunt Wang's cart. Though she doesn't mind it, my reputation has taken another hit after what happened in our fields. If she continues to help us, maybe the villagers will find trouble for her. She is not the only one who has an ox cart, right? Aunt Gao and Aunt He also has ox carts. The only reason villagers choose Aunt Wang is that her rates are cheaper. She is a good woman who helps around the village. Still, if she keeps entangling with us, then she might lose business." She fed another scoop of rice to Little bun before she added, "And soon it will be winter, and our village will be hard to reach. So it's better to have a carriage in case of emergency. I can at least take you all to Prefectural city with a carriage. Don't you want to get out of this village and see the outside world for yourself?"

  Chen Mi pursed his lips and said somewhat enviously," I want to go too, brother Liu. You remember when his teacher took our cousin-in-law, Yu Heng, to the prefectural city- don't you remember how he boasted in front of us? We have never been to the prefectural city. We should go and check it out ourselves!"

  Ye Liu hesitated, but Yu Dong, who understood Chen Mi's hint, immediately seized the chance and hit the iron when it was hot. "Exactly! The old Yu family had looked down upon us in the past! Now that we have money, we should enjoy our lives and show them that we are not losers either! "

  Chen Mi's eyes lit up as he looked at Ye Liu, who was hesitating about whether to agree or not, "Brother Liu, what do you say?"

  Little bun, who was chewing on his mashed rice, looked at his father's puppy dog expression and somewhat understood the gist of the situation. He wanted to go out and see the world for himself as well. Ever since he was born, he only saw the ugly faces of the villagers who looked at him with those 'bad eyes'. Little bun was too small to understand that it was all because of his gender as a 'mer'. But he was smart enough to realize that the villagers didn't like him, so he refused to go out, which meant staying at home twenty-four seven. He didn't like it. His fathers were just this pretty how long can he look at their faces? So he too decided to put on his most 'please I beg of you' expression and look at Ye Liu with an incomprehensible plea as he muttered. "Aawa ohho awa Aaah wooo moomo."

  Translation: Daddy Liu, please agree with mommy.
