Xiaoxiao felt quite good after parting with Yang Ming that evening and even had a sound sleep. She thought the insomnia the night before must have been due to not being used to it yet.
Early the next morning, Xiaoxiao sought out Yang Dong, "Fourth Brother, could you rush the ox cart for me these next few days? I need to go to the County."
"Mm, Third Sister-in-Law, I'm on my way."
And so the two of them made their way to the Xiangxiang Cloth Shop in the county. "Fourth Brother, I've got to be here for the whole day. Why don't you head back home first? I can take the ox cart back by myself tonight!"
"No need. I don't have anything else to do, so I might as well wait here."
"Why don't you go stroll around the streets?" Xiaoxiao felt that asking Yang Dong to come was a mistake. She would have been better off paying for the ox cart herself. She was truly stubborn and couldn't shake off her old habits—she was the type who wouldn't take public transportation once she had her own car.
