My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 1292 Homeless Again

A while later, he returned with several large lobsters. “This particular type of lobster is tender and nutritious. Our village is poor, and cannot compare to the city where there's an abundance of chicken, duck, and fish. You need nourishment so the child will grow up big and strong.”

Sienna was still trying to refuse when a woman from the village, who was in her thirties, happened to pass by the door and poked her head in. “Why are you refusing something that's being given for free, Sienna?” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “If it were me, I'd take it right away.”

“Mitchell makes a tough living fishing, Karen, and catching lobsters must have taken a lot of effort. It would be too much if I were to enjoy the fruits of his labor without giving anything in return,” said Sienna as she pulled out two hundred from her pocket. “Consider this as payment for your wares, Mitchell.”

Mitchell became agitated. “Payment? We villagers have been living by this river since we were children, and we've been eating these for as long as we can remember. It's become most common for us. Why should you pay for it?”

At that, he whipped around in anger and stormed away.
