Chapter 123 What kind of luck is this?
In the town, in the courtyard.
A group of people stood in the yard, staring wide-eyed at the silly girl.
Ye Hua, Wang Ming, and Yingzi went back to Wangjia Village first, while Ye Wan brought Sha Niu to Aunt Cai's place to pick up the children.
"She can really eat! If she keeps eating like this, our family will go bankrupt. She's a complete glutton!"
Er Ya looked at Sha Niu with disdain, "She can eat way too much!"
I just steamed two pots of buns, and they finished one pot in no time. This is the second pot already. Even a pig wouldn't have such an appetite.
No, pigs don't eat white flour buns either.
Daya reminded her from the side, "Don't say that. We all come from poor backgrounds, and we must be terrified of hunger."
However, the girl her mother brought, nicknamed "Silly Girl," really had a good appetite. She ate twenty steamed buns the size of a bowl, which was almost the same as the appetite of three or four strong men.
"I can eat it too." Sanya held a small rabbit-shaped steamed bun in her hand, which Aunt Cai had made to cheer her up.
Er Ya clicked her tongue sourly, "Did I forget to mention you? You're a glutton too."
"belch!"
After eating two pots of steamed buns, the silly girl gulped down water with a ladle and finally let out a satisfied burp.
"Madam, where is my work?"
The silly girl looked at Ye Wan with shining eyes.
This was the first time she had ever seen someone keep their word and actually feed her.
Wow, so many white steamed buns!
She'd be willing to die right now; at least she could die a full-fledged ghost.
"Go boil some water and wash yourself first. I'll go see if I can find any clothes that fit you," Ye Wan said as she went into the house.
She was just trying to see just how much this silly girl could eat.
If you can eat a lot of food, you have a lot of strength, so it's worth it.
After searching for a long time, Aunt Cai finally went out and bought a new set of butcher's clothes.
The clean-up girl didn't look like a man at all; her features were quite heroic, and she wasn't particularly fat, just tall and strong.
Aunt Cai whispered to Ye Wan, "She's quite strong. With her around, you guys will be safer. But she seems to eat a lot. Are you sure you can afford to feed her?"
Ye Wan nodded and whispered a few words in Aunt Cai's ear.
She said that Lin Anyuan left money when he left, and only then was Aunt Cai relieved.
Ye Wan asked the silly girl, "How old are you this year?"
The silly girl shook her head. "I don't know."
She doesn't remember how old she is or when she was born.
Ye Wan guessed she was about twenty years old and asked, "Besides being strong, what else can you do?"
Silly Girl continued to shake her head, "I don't know. I just do whatever people tell me to do, in exchange for food. Sometimes those people don't honor their promises, so I beat them up."
"Why does he still look like a fool?" Er Ya played with her hair. "He probably doesn't even know to run home when it rains, does he?"
Ye Wan glared at her: "Alright, just shut up. Your mouth is always barbed."
"Mother, do you not like me anymore? You're scolding me." Er Ya stomped her foot, her eyes instantly turning red.
Ye Wan choked, feeling a pang of guilt. "Can't I even take a joke? You start crying so easily."
"Don't cry, I'll buy you a pair of earrings later. If you cry, you won't have any left."
Upon hearing this, Er Ya immediately beamed with joy, "But I don't have pierced ears, how can I wear it?"
Girls from poor families would have their ears pierced by their mothers and then have a thin string tied between them.
Daya, Erya, and Sanya have no mother and none of them have pierced ears.
Ye Wan looked at her earlobe and said, "If you're not afraid of the pain, I'll give you a prick."
"As long as it makes me beautiful, I'm not afraid of pain."
Er Ya was overjoyed; she wanted to wear earrings.
Ye Wan waved her hand, "Alright, hurry up and pack your things, let's go back to the village."
It's getting dark, and there's no room left to stay here.
Er Ya turned her head and muttered softly, "I don't want to go back. What's so good about the village? It's not good at all."
"If you don't want to go back, you can stay here. Nobody will force you."
Ye Wan returned with Daya, Sanya, and Sha Niu.
On the way, Sanya asked softly, "Mother, are we really not taking Second Sister with us?"
Daya said, "She didn't want to come herself, it's not that Mother didn't want to bring her."
Ye Wan looked up at the sky; tomorrow should be another sunny day.
She smiled again and looked at Daya, "You're so insightful. But it's fine to stay there. You can stay and keep my parents company."
It doesn't matter if I stay; with Er Ya's personality, she'll never let herself suffer a loss.
She doesn't know how to raise children either. As long as they are healthy, don't commit murder or arson, she can let them grow up freely.
There was no oxcart to ride in, and Sanya couldn't walk anymore, so Sha Niu said she could carry her.
"Silly Auntie, is it heavy?" Sanya asked, a little embarrassed.
"It's not heavy, not heavy at all, not even as heavy as a stone," the silly girl said happily.
She was afraid that she would be kicked out again if she had no work to do, so as long as she had work to do, she wouldn't be kicked out.
The three little maids are so kind; they call her "aunt" and "madam," just like fairies from heaven.
"Mother, there's someone lying up ahead!"
Ye Wan looked and saw that there really was someone lying not far away. "San Ya's eyes are sharp."
As I approached, I saw an elderly woman, around fifty years old, lying on the ground. In this day and age, fifty is considered quite old.
The old woman looked clean, but for some reason, she was lying straight in the middle of the road.
Ye Wan checked and found that her breathing was normal. "She must have fainted."
"Could she have fainted from hunger?" The silly girl looked at the old woman, who had fainted from hunger earlier.
Sanya whispered to Ye Wan, "Mom, this old lady is so pitiful. Let's help her and give her a bowl of rice. It's hard to be hungry."
Although she was young, she always remembered that she was very hungry before her mother came, and she couldn't even get enough to eat from the leaves.
Silly girl nodded in agreement; being hungry was really unpleasant.
"Okay, give her some food."
"Madam, I'll carry the person on my back." Seeing that Ye Wan was about to save the person, the silly girl hurriedly took credit.
Fortunately, it wasn't far from home, so Sanya followed Ye Wan.
Back home, Ye Wan had Sha Niu place the person on the kang (heated brick bed) in one of the three maid rooms and fed them a little bit of spiritual spring water.
She guessed that the people on the road not far from the village were probably from the nearby villages.
Not long after, the old woman slowly woke up.
Where is it?
Hui Gu sat up, looked around blankly, and became alert the moment she saw the sturdy, silly girl.
"Grandpa, are you alright? Whose are you? You fainted on the road, so we carried you back," Ye Wan asked.
Hui Gu didn't speak, but looked out the window.
No, this... isn't this the detached house he saw before?
He glanced again at Sanya, who was looking at him curiously from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and suddenly it dawned on him.
Are these Lin Anyuan's wife and daughter?
I just don't know which one is the wife, the one who's as strong as a man, or the one next to her whose face is as black as the bottom of a pot!
Good heavens, what kind of bad luck is she? She fainted from the old poisoning shortly after leaving the village.
When I woke up, I was found to have been picked up by this family again!
