After giving birth to five sons, the Old Shen family in Lotus Village finally got their wish for a precious daughter!
What, a long drought with no rain? Little Dragon Liu waves her hand, and ...
"Stop laughing!"
Shen Liuliu stomped her feet in frustration!
How annoying!
Fu Linqing looked around blankly. There was no one there. Who laughed?
"Six or six? Nobody's laughing."
I can hear you laughing in your stomach! Humph!
Shen Liuliu poked Fu Linqing's stomach angrily.
Just then, Fu Linqing's stomach started rumbling...
The boy was extremely embarrassed.
"Hahaha."
Shen Liuliu, feeling she had gotten the better deal, laughed heartily, as if she had avenged herself.
Seeing the little dumpling laughing so hard she almost fell over, Fu Linqing squatted down helplessly, shook her head and said, "Come on, your brother will carry you home."
This little girl is really something; she can't stand to suffer even the slightest loss!
"Okay."
Shen Liuli jumped onto Fu Linqing's back, and as soon as the latter stood up, Shen Liuli proudly shouted, "Giddy up! Horse, run fast!"
Fu Linqing actually started running.
"Ahh! Hahaha!"
Shen Liuliu's laughter dissipated in the wind.
When the two of them ran to the village entrance, they met Yaya, who was carrying a basket down the mountain.
"Ya Ya, you've gone mushroom picking again?" Fu Linqing greeted Ya Ya.
Ya Ya looked up at them, nodded, and then continued walking briskly home.
Grandma at home is waiting for the food she brought back to eat~
"Poor Sister Yaya."
Shen Liuliu's voice sounded somewhat dejected.
Fu Linqing laughed and denied it: "Is Ya Ya pitiful? She was abandoned by her parents in the mountains and raised by wolves. But she met Grandma Chu, who raised her and loved her like her own granddaughter. Although she lived a poor life, it was much better than being alone in the deep mountains."
Whether someone is pitiful or not depends on your perspective.
Moreover, he saw that Ya Ya did not belittle herself, nor did she feel that she was suffering.
Therefore, others should not look at her with pity.
"Yes, but Liu Liu still wants to help Sister Ya Ya. Brother, what do you think about having Sister Ya Ya come to our house to help with brewing wine?"
It just so happens that we need someone to brew wine at home.
Actually, it wasn't that they were short of people; it was just that Tian Guifen insisted on joining in.
But she also had to cook, do laundry, take care of the children and pregnant women, and brew wine, which was quite tiring.
"Then Liu Liu should discuss this carefully with her parents."
"I know, Liu Liu is the best girl."
After arriving home and having dinner, Shen Liuliu angrily pointed at her father and said he was bad.
Shen Wanli was completely bewildered and hurriedly went to comfort his beloved daughter: "Liuliu, what's wrong with Daddy?"
He didn't do anything special today.
The whole family watched the father and daughter.
"Hmph, Mommy's tired, Daddy's not looking for anyone, you bad guy! You're bullying Mommy!" the little guy shouted in a clear voice, and he even had a reason for it.
Fu Linqing couldn't help but sigh and chuckle to herself.
This little dumpling is really smart.
She clearly wanted to help Ya Ya, but she still went to other people to talk to her.
"Oh, my daughter still loves me the most." Tian Guifen hugged and kissed her daughter, deeply moved.
The others remained silent.
Which of them hasn't suggested hiring another person to save Mom from being so busy?
But what about Mother?
Oh, she was standing with her hands on her hips, saying to them, "You don't know the cost of living, you're not in charge of the household. You've hired help everywhere, how much money is left in the house?"
My sister said it was because she felt sorry for her.
Tsk tsk, isn't this favoritism a bit too obvious?
"Okay, okay, Daddy will go and fetch someone right now. Liu Liu won't say Daddy is a bad guy anymore, okay?"
Shen Wanli immediately corrected his mistake.
I can't let my precious daughter dislike him.
"Why would I invite anyone? No need. If I invite another person, I'll be completely idle, with nothing to do. That won't do!"
Tian Guifen was telling the truth.
She's someone who's used to doing manual labor; she really can't stand being idle.
That's why she hasn't hired anyone else.
"Then let's hire half a person!" Shen Liuliu naively offered her suggestion.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Tian Guifen stroked her daughter's head and said, "Daughter, where are we going to find even half a person?"
"Mother, how is Yaya doing?"
Shen Erming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he brought up the old matter again.
If someone is considered half a person, then they are half a child.
It can do a lot of things, but it's not as good as an adult, which is just right.
"Ya Ya? That girl from the Chu family? Hey, you know what, she's actually quite good." Tian Guifen considered it for a moment and was immediately tempted.
She has indeed been very busy lately.
Especially since the eldest son's wife was pregnant and weak, she needed to be extra careful about what she ate.
I'm finding it difficult to handle all those miscellaneous tasks.
After all, they are getting on in years.
"Erguo is smart!"
Shen Liuliu gave her second brother a thumbs up.
I immediately thought of Ya Ya, saving her the trouble of mentioning it.
Everyone agreed.
However, Shen Tiantian said weakly, "Actually, the family doesn't necessarily need to spend that much money. Ya Ya and I are about the same age, and I can do what she can do. My parents are supporting another child, so I should do some work."
“What are you saying, child? You’re our daughter, how can we let you get tired? You just need to learn needlework from your sister-in-law, sweep the yard and do the dishes. When you’re free, go out and play with Wu Tiao.”
Tian Guifen would never ask Shen Tiantian to do those kinds of work.
They wouldn't be willing to use it if it were their own daughter.
If you don't treat someone like your own daughter, then you definitely can't use them.
"Yes, Tian Tian, don't think about these things all the time. You should play." Shen Yishan gently encouraged Tian Tian to play more and not just work all day.
An eight-year-old girl should be more innocent and carefree.
Look at Wu Tiao, who is also eight years old; he's so mischievous he could practically fly.
"Okay, thank you, brother."
Shen Tiantian tilted her head back, revealing a sweet and lovely smile.
"Then, should I go talk to Ya Ya?"
Shen Erming suddenly stood up and said this.
Tian Guifen shook her head: "I'll go talk to them."
"Me too!" Shen Liuliu skipped along, wanting to go too.
Tian Guifen had no choice but to take her along.
Along the way, Shen Liuliu would catch a grasshopper one moment, then pick up a ladybug the next and flick it away...
Tian Guifen was completely speechless.
Other girls scream in terror when they see bugs, but their little girl screams too, only this time with excitement.
"Mother, I don't think I can let the animals eavesdrop on what others are saying for me anymore..."
Shen Liuliu said in a low voice.
In fact, she can still hear what the animals are saying, because this is not magic, but her instinct as a dragon princess.
However, these animals are not very intelligent, and they will not talk to you unless you give them commands.
Every day they talk about how the neighbor's dog got the neighbor's dog pregnant, or how someone's sparrow ate an extra grain of rice and was almost killed by their wife... these are all meaningless conversations.
At first, Shen Liuliu would listen to it, but later she found it was useless, so she stopped listening.
"Honey, this is great, why are you unhappy?"
Tian Guifen stopped, squatted down, and spoke to her daughter at eye level.
Shen Liuliu looked into her mother's eyes and saw the sincerity within them. She tilted her head and asked, "What should we do? This way, Liuliu won't be able to help Mother."
"How could that be? Isn't the wine we have now the one that Liu Liu came up with and taught me? It's making money for the family now. As for having the animals listen to what others are saying for you, I was never really willing to do that from the beginning."
Because you have so much, my dear. Whatever God has given you, you will eventually have to give back just as much.
Mother doesn't expect you to be exceptionally talented or different from others. Mother just wants you to grow up safely and peacefully like other girls, understand?
All she wants is for her baby to be safe, healthy, and happy.
"Mom, you're so good to me."
Shen Liuliu rushed into her mother's arms, nuzzling against her, overjoyed.
Those hidden in the shadows, however, were deeply disturbed by this conversation...
