A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times Chapter 45

Chapter 45 - Purchase

“Why? Don’t you believe that Eldest Uncle can bring these back?” Eldest Uncle Ning pointed at the newly bought food on the ground and asked with a smile.

“This thing is so heavy. If it were me, I would probably only be able to carry half a bag.” Ning Yue gestured at the sack.

When the Ning family’s uncle saw this, he laughed out loud. “Yueyue is a woman, so you’re a little weak. Usually, Uncle can carry two to three hundred kilograms.”

Now was the time to escape. Seeing this food, they were happy and naturally carried more.

“Wow! Uncle is amazing!” Ning Yue pretended to admire him.

Just as everyone came out of the market, they met a group of people.

It looked like a rich family in this city. It was unknown who was sitting in the sedan chair.

Ning Yue’s eyes lit up as she had an idea. She quickly said to the Ning family’s uncle, “Uncle, I’ll go over and take a look. Perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to pick up something.”

With that, Ning Yue ran away.

Eldest Uncle Ning was about to stop her, but she had already run far away. He had no choice but to shout at Ning Yue’s back, “Yueyue, be careful!”

Ning Yue ran behind the group of people. When they left, she pretended to pick up something and quickly walked to the side of the Ning family’s uncle. She whispered excitedly, “Uncle, I picked up something. Let’s go see what it is.”

Ning Yue found a remote place and took out a wooden box wrapped in cloth.

Ning Yue lifted the cloth and revealed the box. Ning Yue had specially chosen this box in the space. It was considered ordinary compared to the other boxes in the space, but in the eyes of the Ning family’s uncle, it was not the case.

The eldest uncle of the Ning family, who had been a farmer his entire life, had never seen such a good item. His eyes widened.

Oh my god, this box was obviously something good. Ning Yue’s luck was too good!

Ning Yue quietly opened the box and a hairpin appeared.

“This hairpin is so beautiful!” The Ning family’s uncle’s tone was excited, but his voice was not loud. Although he did not know how much this thing was worth, this hairpin was made of gold, so it must be valuable.

“Yueyue, I can save this for your dowry.”

Hearing her uncle’s words, Ning Yue’s nose turned sour. Her uncle was so good. He was thinking about her.

“Uncle, it’ll be a long time until I need dowry. Right now, we have to solve the problem of food. Let’s exchange it for money. Uncle, help me see how much this is worth.” Ning Yue handed the hairpin to her uncle.

She was going to take out a few gold rings, but then she thought it would be better to have a hairpin. One would be enough.

Eldest Uncle Ning weighed it in his hand and had a plan in his heart. “It’s a little heavy. It should be able to be exchanged for a lot of money.”

“Then I’ll leave this to Uncle. Please take it to the shop to sell. Uncle, don’t be too nice. Remember to bargain with the shopkeeper.”

“Alright!” Eldest Uncle Ning didn’t think too much about it. He took the hairpin and walked towards the shop not far away.

Soon, the eldest uncle of the Ning family walked to Ning Yue’s side with a smile.

“Did you know that when I went to the shop and took out this hairpin, their young lady took a fancy to it at a glance and offered fifty taels of silver?”

Fifty taels?

Ning Yue’s eyes widened. She thought that it would be ten or twenty taels at most. She did not expect her uncle to sell it for fifty taels of silver.

Ning Yue blinked. She kept twenty taels for herself and stuffed the remaining thirty taels into her uncle’s hands. “Uncle, go buy some food. You can keep the rest,” Ning Yue said.

When the Ning family’s uncle heard this, he quickly refused. “No, this is your own money. I can’t keep it!”

It was fine to take it out to buy food, but how could he keep her private money? Moreover, Ning Yue was his junior!

“If Uncle doesn’t keep these thirty taels of silver, I don’t want it either.” As she spoke, Ning Yue took out the two taels of silver.

Seeing this, the Ning family’s eldest uncle hurriedly pressed Ning Yue’s arm. “No, no, no. I’ll take it.”

With the 30 taels Ning Yue gave him, he could buy more food.

However, he also listened to Ning Yue and took out twenty taels to buy food first. He would keep the remaining ten taels.

Ning Yue and the eldest uncle of the Ning family had bought a lot of food. If they took it all out of the city at once, it would be too eye-catching. Therefore, they sent the food to the city gate first. After Old Master Ning carried the things away, they returned to the city to take a rest.

Status: Ongoing Author:

Ning Yue was a military doctor and a special forces soldier. During a mission to rescue hostages, she died from a bomb explosion. Ning Yue thought she was dead, but when she opened her eyes, she had become a woman in ancient times with the same name but a different surname.

This woman’s father was a general, but she lived in the Ning Family Village and was raised by her adoptive parents for more than ten years. A year ago, the people from the general’s residence found her and brought her back. However, they sent her back again a few months later. When the original owner of the body returned to the village, she was pregnant and gave birth to twin sons within a few months.

Another year passed, and the year of the great drought was ushered in. The entire village had to flee. The original owner of the body left with the rest of the villagers with her two sons and slow-witted father. In other words, the current special forces soldier, Ning Yue, was an older single young woman who had not experienced the sweetness of love. She had skipped all those steps, and directly became a mother to two children. She also gained the original owner’s dim-witted father and a body that didn’t work and had hunger pangs after starving for two days. But was that all? Don’t be naive!

“Don’t eat my daughter! Don’t eat my daughter!” The original owner’s father pleaded. “The older one’s meat is too hard, so it needs to be cooked longer. These two small ones have tender meat, so they only need to be roasted for a while. We’ll eat the big one tomorrow!” Ning Yue, who was now being viewed as food, looked up at the sky and said to herself, “Gee, thanks SO much!”
