“Okay! Auntie, please wait a moment.” The little girl’s voice was sweet, and her smile was also sweet. It looked like she had been carved from jade. Su Jiu was really likable.
Su Shengjing had initially thought that he would not be able to complete his task today as he did not have any experience in running a stall. Now, however, it seemed he would definitely be able to complete this task, all thanks to the little girl.
With her around, he just had to lie down and he would win.
As Su Shengjing weighed two and a half kilograms of persimmons for her, the auntie suddenly looked at him and said with a smile, “You’re still so young, and you’re already a father? Your daughter is still so cute. How much are you selling her for?”
Hearing the auntie’s joke, the people around them laughed.
Even though Su Shengjing knew that it was a joke, he felt upset. The auntie could make other jokes, but she could not make a joke out of the little girl!
He frowned. “My daughter is not a commodity,” he said a little sternly. “She’s not for sale.”
The auntie was amused by his serious look. Then, she saw the little girl hugging Su Shengjing’s arm, her chubby face falling as she pitifully said, “Daddy, don’t sell Little Jiu. You can’t sell Little Jiu!”
After saying that, she looked at the auntie with grievance and complained in a small voice, “Auntie, you’re too mean. How can you say you want to buy me? Daddy said I’m not for sale!”
These words made the audience laugh again. “Oh my god! Little Jiu is so cute! It isn’t just the auntie. I also want to buy her, alright!”
“Little Jiu, can you name a price? Maybe I’ll get drunk and dream of bringing you home!”
“How can my daughter be so exceptional? Boohoo, she tricked me into giving birth to a daughter again!”
“You’re not alone. After my parents watched the show, they urged me to give birth to a daughter QAQ. But what if I can’t give birth to such a cute child?”

Su Shengjing thought that Little Jiu had misunderstood their conversation. Little did he know that she was just trying to seize the opportunity to act cute. He hurriedly carried her up, patted her back, and comforted her. “Baby, don’t be afraid. You’re Daddy’s darling. No matter what, Daddy will never sell you away. Absolutely not.”
It was only then that the little girl seemed to cheer up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and exclaimed, “Yes! Daddy can’t sell Little Jiu. Little Jiu belongs to Daddy!”
Su Jiu’s cuteness once again overwhelmed Su Shengjing.
He felt incredibly touched and couldn’t help but hug the little girl tightly.
Han Siye, who just arrived at the town with Han Xiao, saw this scene. He could not hear what Su Shengjing and Su Jiu were talking about as there was a crowd between them. He just vaguely heard Su Jiu telling Su Shengjing that he could not sell her.
Han Siye immediately exploded. He rushed over and angrily said, “Little Jiu is so cute. How can you sell her?”
Su Shengjing turned around and saw the kid. His mouth twitched.
This brat. Where did he even hear that I wanted to sell my daughter?
Han Siye looked at the auntie and thought about how Su Shengjing might sell Little Jiu to her. He felt especially anxious. This place is definitely not as good as a big city. How could he let Little Jiu live here and sell her to someone she doesn’t even know?
What if that auntie doesn’t treat Little Jiu well?
Han Siye thought that his beloved younger sister was going to live in the abyss of suffering in the future; he could not accept it at all. He hurriedly said to Su Shengjing, “Uncle, if you want to sell Little Jiu, then sell her to me. I promise I’ll treat her well!”
Su Shengjing was stunned.
