Ming Yan got up early in the morning, listlessly prepared breakfast, left it in the pot ready to be scooped out by Miss when she woke up, and then cleaned both inside and outside the house.
Done with the chores.
The sun showed signs of emerging from the clouds, the sky gradually lightened, no longer the pitch-black of early dawn.
She didn't wake Miss, but instead took a small bundle from the room, changed into a honey-colored buttoned jacket, dressed like a village woman, and went out, heading to the village entrance.
The ox cart to Taiping Town was only available at the village entrance, all handled by Coachman Chen.
At the village entrance, there was a large locust tree with dense branches and leaves. Coachman Chen was already waiting there, a delicate little girl sat on the cart with a bundle, but unfortunately, her face was covered with many black spots, freckles.
