It was the same for the other people in the family. They treated the kids well from the bottom of their hearts.
Look at how happy Sifu and Wufu are now. Because they can buy the two kids fried chicken legs to eat, they were floating on cloud nine.
The shop selling fried chicken legs was on this street, but it was close to the end of the street, unlike Lakshimi Restaurant, which was in the most prosperous position in the middle of the street.
The shop wasn’t big, and it only had one window. Not only did it sell fried chicken legs, but it also sold other deep-fried things, such as fried dough sticks, deep-fried pancakes, deep-fried buns, and so on.
Because the fried food sold in this shop was quite delicious, most of the townspeople came here to buy fried food.
Business looked booming, and there were many people lining up.
Jiang Yue and the others saw the line before they even got close. The line formed outside the shop as the inside was really too small to accommodate that many people. If people wanted to buy things in the shop, they had to stand outside in front of the window and buy from the people inside.
Xue Yan was holding Jiang Yue’s small hand, so Xue Sifu and Xue Wufu didn’t have to worry too much about losing her. They led the way and played with each other from time to time.
Jiang Yue followed behind and looked at the happy faces of Sifu and Wufu. Then, she looked at the crowd of people who were queuing up to buy the fried food and asked Xue Yan in a low voice, “Did you bring any money?”
Both their money was with him.
She still didn’t want her family to mistreat themselves when they were treating the two of them well.
Xue Yan, who was about to take out the money, was silent for a while.
Only then did Jiang Yue notice that Xue Yan’s other hand was already about to take out the money bag. She went silent with this gesture. Their chemistry was getting better and better.
Sometimes, they didn’t even need to say anything before their actions were highly matched.
“I did.” After a moment of silence, Xue Yan replied in a low voice. “Later, we have to make sure that Sifu and Wufu won’t only buy for us.”
That was exactly what Jiang Yue wanted to say. After a moment of silence, she calmed down and nodded. “Yes.”
She accepted her family’s feelings for her and would not reject them anymore, but she also had her own thoughts.
It was obvious that he was on the same frequency as her.
When they arrived at the end of the line, Xue Sifu looked to the front and saw that there was still a long queue. He said to Xue Wufu, “You should take Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to the side and sit. I’ll queue up. There’s also some shade in that corner, and the sun won’t shine there. You can go and sit on the steps.”
Jiang Yue looked in the direction Xue Sifu was pointing at. It was under the roof of a shop, but it was in the corner of the house that was not part of the long line. Sometimes, beggars or tired pedestrians would go to that place to sit down and rest.
Xue Wufu was about to bring Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to sit, but they refused to go.
He saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s small hands pulling on Xue Sifu’s clothes, while Xue Yan’s other hand was holding his money bag, wanting to give it to Xue Sifu so that he wouldn’t only buy chicken legs for the two of them.
Xue Sifu was a smart man, he understood the moment Xue Yan took out the money bag. He squatted down and gently touched Jiang Yue’s head with one hand and Xue Yan’s head with the other. He smiled at Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, “Do you think I’m like the other people in the family? I know you’re sensible and don’t want us to pamper you both. You might think that we’re mistreating ourselves. But do you know that you’re wrong to think this way?”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. Was it actually wrong?
