The next day, Ningguang picked many more of these things called Sunset Fruits.

She excitedly carried the fruit back to the original spot.

But this time, there was no Mora...

That adult doesn't want to eat sunset fruit today.

The sunflowers that had been painstakingly picked fell to the ground, the plump fruit hitting a stone, and the juice that spilled out made them look quite unsightly.

The adult was surprised that Ningguang was so downcast, so he bent down to try and comfort her.

"Little girl, if you want Mora, you can buy some things in Liyue Harbor and bring them here."

"For example, some cooling fans, and reclining chairs for relaxation..."

"In short, you can sell us some things we need."

Ningguang looked up at the adult's words; it was the first time she had heard those two words.

"Buy? Sell?"

Chapter 188 Family 2 (Ningguang's Side Story)

Buying and selling.

There must be buyers for there to be sellers.

Only a few pieces of Mora's Glowing Light can bring the people in the mining area a fan.

But looking at the adults in the mining area, he realized that he had sold the fan.

Looking at the Mora that the miners had given her—more than she could buy a fan—Ningguang felt as if she had mastered some kind of magical power.

Just like that powerful adult on the stage, who can make things multiply.

Ningguang felt that she could also increase the amount of Mora she had.

Later, Ningguang would bring lots and lots of things from Liyue Harbor to Mingyun Town every day.

The workers in town also give Ningguang a lot of Mora.

Ningguang later figured out a lot of things.

The adults in Mingyun Town need more than just fans and reclining chairs.

They also need fresh and delicious grilled fish, clean clothes, and lots and lots of pickaxes.

Ningguang started with just a few Mora, and then it grew to dozens of Mora.

In the end, Ningguang always carries hundreds of Mora.

Each time Ningguang goes on a trip, she always ends up with three more Mora.

Ningguang still remembers that day. With a hundred Mora coins in her arms, she took a bath at Yunlaihai and washed herself thoroughly.

She had already made an agreement with the tailor that she would buy a dress for thirty molars.

The clothes were clean, and although they weren't as nice as the clothes adults wore, they were much nicer than the little cloud outfit that Ningguang had worn before.

Ningguang has already made her plans!

With the remaining seventy morras, they rented a small car for twenty morras so they could carry more things.

Then, use fifty moras to buy all sorts of things.

Ningguang believed that this would allow her to quickly gather another 100 Mora...

That's right...

This is how it should be.

Ningguang, pulling the cart, left Liyue Harbor, but encountered a child about her height on the way.

Those were the children who frequently visited the great philanthropist, the old woman, before she died.

Ningguang remembered that he always managed to snatch the biggest piece of bread.

The child secretly took something from Ningguang's car, but the vigilant Ningguang discovered it.

Ningguang chased after it for a long time before finally getting it back.

But when Ningguang turned around, all she saw was a broken car.

One of the wheels on the car has fallen off, and everything inside has been taken away.

The children who had been chasing Ningguang earlier surrounded her, and there were many, many more children following her, all carrying things from the car.

In the past, Ningguang might have tolerated having her food stolen.

-but...

—Those things are clearly mine...

—I bought it with Mora...

This time, Ningguang went berserk, desperately trying to snatch what was in their hands back.

But Ningguang was pinned to the ground by all of them.

One punch after another.

Holding Ningguang in her arms, all she saw was them throwing the things they had bought onto the ground one by one, then laughing and stomping on them until they were crushed.

Until the Thousand Rock Army appeared.

In the past, it was always the same group that chased away Ningguang who chased away the children.

They helped Ningguang up and seemed to whisper something in her ear.

Ningguang didn't hear what they said because her head was still buzzing.

She looked at the broken pieces on the ground and wanted to piece them back together, one by one.

—If it's pieced together, we should be able to replace some of the Mora pieces.

—If... just if...

The broken car didn't belong to Ningguang; she rented it out to someone else.

She took the car back to its owner, who simply threw the car at Ningguang and then slapped her.

I can hear a buzzing sound in my right ear.

But within that voice, Ningguang heard the car owner's words.

Tell her you have to pay me 500 Mora.

—500 Mora...

—I don't know how long it will take...

Later, Ningguang wore that dress, which cost thirty Mora, for a very long time, until it became even more worn out than the dress she had worn before.

Ningguang was still shuttling between Liyue Harbor and Mingyun Town, but business wasn't very good.

Because a group of children were running back and forth in the same way, the one in the lead was the boy who had taken Ningguang's things earlier.

Now... he should be called a teenager.

A very long time passed, long enough that Ningguang personally repaired the car and replaced it with a wheel that wasn't so round and was larger than the other wheel.

After a long time, Ningguang returned the 500 Mora to the car owner and had another 100 Mora in her hand.

But this time Ningguang doesn't want to buy any nice clothes.

All she wanted was to have a proper meal.

For a very long time, just like before, Ningguang hasn't had a full meal.

Not just steamed buns, Ningguang also wants to eat meat buns filled with meat...

"Dad...Mom..."

The voice made Ningguang stop in her tracks; it was a word she often heard.

However, the person who said this did not cry, but looked very weak.

She turned her head and looked over; it was a little boy squatting in the corner.

The little boy had a shimmering light on his head; I've never seen golden hair before.

He huddled in the corner, his eyes closed, looking just like...

Like the little cloud that was about to die in Ningguang's memory.

However, Ningguang quickly jogged away from the place.

Ever since that homeless boy stole her things, Ningguang has hated homeless children like herself.

And...why should I use my hard-earned Mora to buy him meat buns?

—Even though...even though I haven't even tried it yet...

"I saved you, so you're mine now."

Ningguang's tone was harsh, but she still tossed the meat bun to the boy.

Ningguang's thinking was very simple back then.

She saved the boy, and now he's hers.

As long as they are one of our own, they would never steal anything from us...

"right?"

"Since you're mine, you wouldn't steal anything from me, would you?"

Ningguang looked at the boy with some fear, afraid that he would shake his head and snatch the remaining meat bun from her hand.

However, the boy seemed not to hear this and wolfed down the meat bun in his hand.

Then, the boy looked up and blinked at Ningguang.

Ningguang glanced at the meat bun, then at herself, and shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Impossible, this is mine..."
