Chapter 180
It is true that Yunque lives in the house of a wealthy family, but that is not because the wealthy family has high hopes for her.
But because she had no place to live.
Her parents were dead, and the house was occupied by her uncles. Yunque was always hungry and cold at home, and was beaten and scolded, so she ran away.
The reason why she was kidnapped was because she was too hungry and became confused after eating that person's food.
When she was picked up again, everyone said that the mountain god liked her.
She didn't want to live with her uncles and aunts, so the elder of the clan took her to his house.
But she is not the only child in the lord's family.
There are seven or eight children.
"Did they also stay in the mountains for half a month?" Shen Jiao asked her.
"Not really, but the mountain god likes them too. Some of them were seriously ill and drank the incense ash from the mountain god temple and recovered. Some were bitten by poisonous snakes and were fine. Some ran out at night and saw the mountain god..."
Skylark counted them one by one on his fingers.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Anyway, they are all very powerful. They didn't go to the big clans to ask for people, so how could I feel embarrassed to do that?"
"Are these all orphans?"
"That's not the case. They all have parents," Skylark said, lowering his eyes. "I'm the most pitiful one."
Shen Jiao saw her glancing at herself while she was talking, and thought to herself: You are the most thoughtful person, right?
"Since they are not orphans, what do the big clan leaders want to do with them?" Shen Jiao pretended to be blind and asked her.
lark:……
"We need to learn the rules. We are not children from rich families. The elders of the tribe were afraid that we would bring shame to the Zhuwa Village, so they took us in six months in advance to learn the rules."
"Oh, so...then they don't have servants either. If I were you, I wouldn't look for any servants. Even if I did, they wouldn't be the same as those young ladies. Instead, I would alienate my own kind. It wouldn't be worth it."
Shen Jiao's words were well-intentioned advice to her, but the truth was not like that.
"What do you know? Although they don't have servants, they have families. Their families can go with them. Regardless of whether they become saints or not, they can stay and serve as divine servants. The divine servants in Wan Teng Village have a good life. They have meat to eat every day and are paid. They will have company when the time comes. What should I do if I don't have any?"
This kid thinks long-term.
But Shen Jiao had no idea, so she said perfunctorily, "Let's take it one step at a time."
Yunque looked at her with a pouting face.
Shen Jiao: "If you glare at me again, I won't give you any money. I'll just leave you here and let them ask the big guys for it."
lark:!
"How can you be like this? You promised to treat me to a meal!"
"Really? I don't remember. Besides, I didn't eat a single bite. You ate everything. Whoever eats should pay. Isn't that the natural thing? If you don't have money, you'll have to stay here and wash dishes to pay off your debt."
Shen Jiao turned his back on people and refused to recognize them.
Yun Que was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears while holding up a piece of goose meat. She clung to Shen Jiao while crying, "Mother, please don't throw me away. I will definitely eat less in the future. Please don't throw me to the shop owner to pay off his debt. I'm worthless!!!"
Her greasy hands grabbed Shen Jiao unexpectedly, hugging her tightly, and kept stuffing the piece of goose meat, which was still sticky with saliva, into Shen Jiao's mouth: "Mother, don't be angry, I don't want to eat it, I'll give it to you, all of it, I won't eat meat anymore! Mother, please don't leave me!!!"
Shen Jiao knew she was acting.
Most people in the store also knew that she was acting.
Everyone looked at her knowingly. The shop owner, who knew exactly who she was, said, "I don't accept children here. Yun Que is such a good kid. What's wrong with eating some meat? You, mother, have to be nice to us. I saw you came here together. You can't leave without paying."
Uninformed outsiders also came to point fingers.
"What's wrong with this person? What's wrong with the child eating two pieces of meat? Why is she so fussy about this? Is she the biological mother? She doesn't look like the biological mother. Could she be the concubine?"
"That's hard to say. Some people are just vicious, and the kisses are even more cruel."
"Why didn't the mountain god here catch her and eat her?"
"Who says it isn't?"
The blatant gossip was heard everywhere, and it was like Shen Jiao was being treated like a bastard.
She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "Mother was just joking with you. Why did you take it so seriously? Sit down and eat your food. How can Mother snatch it from you?"
Shen Jiao stuffed a goose leg into her howling mouth.
Yun Que still refused, took it down and whispered a condition: "I also want to eat almond tofu and drink hawthorn and black plum water."
"Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Mother, please don't hit me. I don't want to die. I don't want to go to heaven. I want to stay with you forever!!!"
Shen Jiao laughed out loud in anger: "Que'er, you really are... you really are a rare good child in a century! Come sit down quickly, order whatever you want to eat, and mother will buy it for you."
Hunting geese all day and getting pecked in the eye by a sparrow, this is exactly how Shen Jiao feels at the moment.
This kid is really difficult!
Yunque sat back proudly and said happily, "Thank you, mother. You are so kind to me."
"No need to thank me, I deserve it..."
The big and the small smiled at each other insincerely.
I don't know if she did it on purpose, but she not only ordered another serving of roast goose with lychees and sweet-scented osmanthus dumplings, but also double the amount of almond tofu and hawthorn and black plum juice, under the pretext of giving them to her mother.
Shen Jiao, who spent a lot of money, had to thank her for her filial piety...
But she just has big eyes and a small stomach. She wants a lot, but it is difficult for her to finish it.
Even though he was so full that he couldn't stand it any longer, he still insisted on stuffing more food into his stomach.
Shen Jiao: "You're not trying to starve yourself to death and blackmail me for a coffin, are you?"
Yunque was confused: "What is a coffin?"
"It's something that pretends to be dead."
"Why are you pretending?"
"Bury."
"Why bury it?"
"It's easy to find. If you miss him, there's a mound you can look at."
"What's the point? He's dead anyway. You outsiders have so many things to do, all useless."
"This isn't useless, is it? Don't you miss your parents?"
"What's there to think about? They're with the mountain god, maybe they've already been reincarnated..."
Skylark was tired and yawned to sleep, but she didn't forget to call her.
"Mother, it's time to pay, owner! Check out!"
With her making such a fuss, it was difficult for Shen Jiao to escape.
I paid the money reluctantly, and when I turned around, she was standing next to me, her arms outstretched as she rushed towards me, saying softly, "Mom, I'm so sleepy."
Shen Jiao: ...
She picked her up in front of everyone: "If you are tired, just sleep. I will take you back..."
