"Little Bai doll, your family is quite wealthy, isn't it? Didn't your parents give you some copper coins to buy something to eat?"
Bai Lingmiao shifted her gaze from a flowered Copper Hairpin on the peddler's portable stall. "No. In the village, you can't buy things with money."
The peddler slapped his forehead in regret. I forgot this shabby place isn't a county town; you can't even spend money here. This girl definitely doesn't have a single coin on her.
"Then... what are you doing just standing there? Hurry up and call your parents! Let them come and buy you some candy."
"My parents are out on business. My younger brother and I are staying with our aunt."
The peddler couldn't be bothered with the girl anymore. Hmph, a complete waste of my time, he thought, sitting down by the tree roots and drinking from his gourd water bottle.
