Otherwise, if she rashly ran away and got caught again, gaining freedom afterward would be difficult.
Since there were many people in the yard and Mrs. Wang had bought quite a few items, she only carried a small amount herself, while the rest were pre-arranged to be delivered directly to the yard.
After leaving the vegetable market street, Mrs. Wang asked Ye Jiu, “Ugly girl, would you like some sugar figurines? Mrs. Wang will treat you.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Wang, I’ve never eaten sugar figurines before, you are really good to me, even better than my own mother.” Flattering words cost nothing, and it was no trouble at all for Ye Jiu to coax this old woman.
Don’t think this old woman is nice to you now, Ye Jiu had seen her being violent towards others.
Among the girls who were sold with her, one of them tried to escape while they were on the way to an auction, but she was caught and harshly punished.
It was this old woman who did it, otherwise, without full certainty, Ye Jiu wouldn’t dare run away and would still be trapped here.
Once the sugar figurine was in her hand, Ye Jiu’s eyes sparkled as she thanked Mrs. Wang, then happily licked the candy, appearing utterly naive.
This behavior made Mrs. Wang even more reassured about Ye Jiu.
After all, wasn’t this outing a test of Ye Jiu by these old women?
If she doesn’t run this time, she would then be considered one of their group. But if she ran away…
An ugly girl like her wouldn’t be expected to earn much money; there would be no use in keeping her!
“Ugly girl, seeing how naive you are, you must rarely go to the streets, and certainly haven’t seen the prosperity of the city, have you?” Mrs. Wang said with a proud smile.
“Not at all.” The sugar figurine was still in Ye Jiu’s mouth, and she replied somewhat indistinctly, “The farthest I’ve ever been was to our town. The buns there smelled so delicious, big and full, round and plump. It made my mouth water just looking at them. It’s a pity I had no money. I just stared at them for a long time until my father, with a stern face, dragged me away!”
Watching Ye Jiu’s greedy expression, Mrs. Wang laughed heartily, “You greedy girl, to think a single bun could capture your thoughts. Just stick with Mrs. Wang and work hard, and it won’t just be buns; I’ll let you eat exotic delicacies till you are sick of them.”
“Really? Mrs. Wang, you are just too kind,” Ye Jiu instantly labeled her a good person.
Watching the old woman get bewildered by her flattery, Ye Jiu slowly dropped her smile.
Cloud City indeed was bustling, a level that Shuangxi Town could never match.
Unfortunately, this place was not her home, nor did it have her mother He Shi, whom she dearly missed.
On the main street, many people, young and old, were walking about, and the sidewalks were filled with stalls selling all kinds of goods.
Ye Jiu still wanted to praise the old woman a bit more, but looking up, she saw many people with packs and pushing hand carts rushing by, which made her curious.

“Mrs. Wang, why are there so many people with packs and pushing carts on the street, are they moving?” Ye Jiu asked.
Mrs. Wang took a casual glance and said indifferently, “Dongyue and Nanchang have gone to war, the frontier border is about to see battle, these people are just coming here to take refuge temporarily.”
No sooner had Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she suddenly remembered, this ugly girl’s group was transported from Dongyue, and she immediately looked at Ye Jiu suspiciously, “Ugly girl, you came from Dongyue, right?”
