Little Hu clicked his tongue, "No wonder Mom’s so mad, spending ten taels of silver on such a fool is one thing, but actually daring to offend Mom!"
But being a playful child, even though Little Hu said this, his eyes showed a strong interest.
Sanhu stifled a laugh and touched his nose, even he found this silly girl a bit interesting.
Little Hu dashed over to the silly girl and asked directly, "Do you want to eat?"
The silly girl rolled up her sleeves, wiped her mouth, and nodded incessantly, "Yes."
"If you can lift me up and spin me around twice, I’ll treat you to food." Little Hu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"You’re on, no backing out!" The silly girl scooped up Little Hu, walked over to an open space, and quickly lifted him up, spinning him several times before putting him down.
Little Hu, unable to stand steadily, fell to the ground, dizzy.
He wasn’t angry; instead, he spread his hands with even more interest, "I want more, spin me a few more times."
This time the silly girl shook her head and pointed in the direction of the liangfen, reminding him, "Treat me to that!"
Little Hu, eager to play, ran over to Erhu, "Second Brother, give me a serving of liangfen, hurry up."
Erhu handed the last serving of liangfen to a customer, laughing, "You’re late, it’s all gone."
With that, Erhu called out to Dahu, "Big Brother, let’s pack up and go home."
Little Hu wore a baffled expression, making everyone laugh, even the previously angry Mrs. Jiang softened her expression in that moment.
Forget it; she’s in her fifties, no point in arguing with such a foolish girl!
The silly girl came over, looking at Dahu and Erhu who were packing up with tears almost falling from her eyes in grievance.
Looking indignantly at Little Hu, the silly girl accused, "You didn’t keep your word." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel⚑fire.net
"Well, it’s not my fault, it’s not that I don’t want to treat you, there just isn’t any left!" Little Hu said sheepishly.
"Hmph!" The silly girl was angry.
Gu Nian secretly stuck out her tongue.
If it wasn’t for the silly girl angering Mom, she wouldn’t dare ask for food for her.
Seeing the silly girl on the verge of tears, Mrs. Jiang stood up and said, "Little girl, I don’t know if you’re truly silly or faking it, but our family is just a normal farming household, we really can’t afford to support another person. You better find your father."
As for those ten taels of silver, Mrs. Jiang definitely couldn’t bear to just give them away, but whether she could get them back, she wasn’t sure.
Upon hearing she was being driven away, the silly girl immediately stopped her tears and acted obediently, "I... I won’t eat, I don’t eat much, I’m easy to take care of."
Though she’s silly, she understands some things.
In the morning, her mother crying over the empty grain jar was still vivid in her memory; she truly couldn’t go back, or she’d eat her family out of house and home.
Even though she’s tried to control her appetite, she still eats a lot compared to others. If she doesn’t eat, she feels bad and has no strength to work.
No matter how she was persuaded, this silly girl was determined to stay with them.
Gu Nian watched quietly from the back without saying a word, because deep down, she wanted to take the silly girl as a little sidekick.
As for eating a lot, it wasn’t a problem for her at all.
Her space was full of food, she just couldn’t take it out casually.
The ox cart had limited space; carrying so many things, plus a few people, with Dahu it was already cramped, and there was simply no room for the silly girl.
