Upon hearing Jiang Er’s question, Yuan Bao felt even worse!
Is this little brat here just to poke at her sore spot?
Indeed, Mrs. Xiao Li and Yuan Zhaodi didn’t say they didn’t want her, but their attitude towards her had plummeted from the heavens to the underground. Logically, if she stayed home, although she’d eat worse, well, probably wear worse too, and have to do a lot of work, suffer many grievances, at least her basic food and clothing would be guaranteed, and most likely she’d grow up safely.
By then, she’d have grown her own wings and could finally be herself.
But if she really did that, she’d owe the two of them the so-called debt of gratitude for raising her, possibly for a lifetime.
At that point, unless she completely disappeared from the vision of the Yuan Family, the hat of ingratitude would be tightly fixed on her head, preventing her from ever being free.
Giving a glance at Jiang Er, who was eagerly waiting for her answer, Yuan Bao turned away and left.
Her head must be screwed up, what’s there to say to a little kid? For more chapters visit novel⚑fire.net
What would saying anything achieve?
"Sister, wait for me!"
"If anyone bullies you, I can protect you!"
Seeing Yuan Bao ignoring him, Jiang Er hurried to catch up, walking beside Yuan Bao. As for the idea of dragging Yuan Bao back to Beishan Village, it never crossed Jiang Er’s mind.
He was an orphan, and to him, Beishan Village only had a clay house that might fall at any time, and it belonged to him.
Although in this land distribution, he also got three acres of land, but with his little body, how could he farm?
Since that’s the case, it would be better to follow his sister to beg for food. Anyway, this sister’s luck was exceptionally good, at least a hundred times better than his.
Jiang Er had seen Yuan Bao leaving the village alone, but at that time, he was playing with Yuan Shougui and the others, and didn’t think much of it.
Not until Yuan Zhaodi searched around the village did Jiang Er run out of the village and catch up with Yuan Bao.
"Sister, your dad was looking for you in the village!"
"Are you really going to beg for food?"
"I heard it’s really hard to beg for food."
"If you can’t get any food, you’ll go hungry."
"Have you ever been hungry?"
"I have been, so hungry I almost wanted to eat dirt!"
Following Yuan Bao as they headed toward the city, Jiang Er jabbered non-stop along the way.
At one point, Yuan Bao wanted to hit him.
However, she ultimately decided to let it slide.
Though Jiang Er was a chatterbox, with him around, if anything happened, at least she would have a helper.
As they walked more than halfway, getting closer to Yunyang City, suddenly a cry of an eagle came from the sky.
Hearing the eagle’s cry, Yuan Bao excitedly raised her head and waved.
After moving away from Shiqu Village, Yuan Bao thought she’d never see You Cang again; little did she expect You Cang to appear at this moment.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"That’s an eagle, it can carry you off!"
Seeing Yuan Bao bouncing and jumping on the ground, Jiang Er almost died of fright.
In Beishan Village, villagers frequently had their chickens carried away by eagles, and adults often said that naughty children would be carried away by them too.
"That’s You Cang, my good friend!"
Looking at Jiang Er who was already lying on the ground, Yuan Bao suddenly felt that going to the city with him might be a mistake, with such a timid character, if anything really happened, who knows who’d be helping whom.
