Chapter 122 Daddy, You Are So Naive
Gu Yuru sneered, her eyes filled with disdain, "Li Yuan, can't I have a child myself if I want one? Why do you have to treat your enemy's child as your own?"
Li Mumu nodded, her scumbag father's abacus beads were about to jump onto her face.
"Yu Ru...the child is innocent. It's all her mother's fault, but she didn't do anything." Li Yuan's tone softened a little.
"She doesn't do it now because she can't do it. When she can do it, she might avenge her mother." Li Mumu felt a chill when she thought of how Li Zhaozhao treated the Gu family.
Li Yuan frowned, "Mumu, she's your sister. She's not trying to snatch your mother from you. You should give in to her."
"Why?" Li Mumu asked back, "Why should an older sister give in to a younger sister? Mom belongs to me and my brothers. She wants to take her away, but can she?"
Gu Yuru touched her daughter's head, and thought about the three years she had spent in the Li family being looked down upon. She felt more and more guilty. How could she bear to share her love with an unrelated child?
"Li Yuan, even if you tell me everything, I won't care about this child. She's your child, not mine. Stop trying to coax me with those words."
Li Mumu smiled proudly. Now her mother was smart and decisive, so she didn't need to take action to deal with her scumbag father.
Seeing that Gu Yuru was angry, Li Yuan said shamelessly, "You know, her mother died when she was born, and she hasn't had a single sip of milk yet. Can you give us some of that goat's milk? She's just a child and can't drink much. Just one sip will be enough."
Li Mumu rolled her eyes and said, "Daddy, don't you have money? Buy the goat for your sister. She can eat as much as she wants."
Li Yuan did have some money, and he felt that what Li Mumu said was right. He bought it to save himself the trouble of begging others every time.
"Yes, I will."
Gu Yuru frowned. Goat milk is very nutritious, and this goat's milk is enough for the whole family. To be honest, she didn't want to sell it.
Besides, she couldn't make the decision on this matter alone.
"Ten taels of silver." Li Mumu stretched out his hands and said.
Li Yuan's mouth twitched, "Ten taels of silver, isn't this asking for too much?"
Li Mumu shrugged and said, "Then let her starve."
The little daughter over there cried because of hunger again, and Li Yuan's heart seemed to be stabbed. He had not participated in the growth of the other children, but this one was born under his sight.
Although she was a girl, the moment Li Yuan saw her, he still felt a little guilty when he thought about the miserable life she had to live since she was born and that she had no mother.
Unlike the others born to Gu Yuru, who were never close to him and targeted and plotted against him everywhere.
What's more, they still have their mother and the love of their grandparents' family.
And Zhao Zhao is all alone.
Li Yuan's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he finally blurted out, "Ten taels is ten taels, Mumu, you really disappoint me."
However, when paying, Li Yuan was wearing shackles and it was inconvenient for him to put his hands into his arms, so Li Mumu went to get the money herself.
There were quite a lot of silver notes, a thick stack. If you counted them at ten taels each, there would be at least several hundred taels.
She has to find a way to get this money and absolutely cannot let her scumbag father live a good life.
She is angry.
"Daddy, you still have hope for me. After what you did to me, you still have expectations of me. Daddy, you are so naive."
"I……"
Li Yuan snorted coldly, then took the goat to feed his little daughter.
Everyone in the Gu family saw Li Mumu selling the sheep to Li Yuan, but no one stopped her.
"After all, she's Twilight's sister, so it's understandable for her to do this."
Zhang Yi shook his head. "I think Mumu has other intentions. We're going to the North soon. That place is poor and has many refugees. No one cares about blatant robbery. We have so many things that are too much of an eyesore. It would be better to change them into banknotes so that they can be hidden more conveniently."
Song Qiang sighed, "It's a pity for that goat. It has plenty of milk."
Li Mumu looked at it and smiled. The reason why the goat had enough milk was because it was nourished by the spiritual spring water. She secretly added nutrition to it.
Once it loses those foods, I wonder if it can still produce so much milk. Plus, it has taken some milk-reducing medicine...
"Second aunt, don't worry, the goat will come back."
Song Qiang thought she had heard wrongly. Can things that have been sold be returned?
Could it be that the little girl wants to default on her debt?
Defaulting on debts is something only fools do.
Smart people rely on their brains.
When the Li family saw that the goat belonged to them, they were so happy that they squeezed a large basin of milk from it to drink at noon.
They used to see the Gu family drinking it every day, and they were so greedy.
Squeeze in, there won’t be so many at night.
There was a large bowl of milk, and Li Zhaozhao only drank a large spoonful. After all, he was just born and his appetite was the size of a grape. The rest went into the stomachs of the Li family.
The closer to the north, the colder it got. Liuzi was warming himself by the fire and rubbing his hands, but he still felt cold.
"Master Gu, if we go another 150 miles north, we will reach Baishi County, where you will be exiled. I heard that it's not peaceful here, so we should leave early and stay in the inn."
Liuzi looked at Mr. Gu and felt a little reluctant.
If it weren't for the Gu family, he would have died countless times along the way.
Old Master Gu nodded. Even though he had never been to the North, he was well-informed. In fact, even an inn might not be safe.
These things of theirs are too eye-catching, but if they want to buy more without them, they will probably have to live a hard life for a while.
"I'll let the second and third brothers keep watch tonight. You should send two more people as well."
If it were in the past, Liuzi would have asked why?
After going through all this, he also saw the wickedness of human nature. What else could he not understand? "I understand. I will guard it myself. In this case, the Li family should also send someone."
Mr. Gu didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit consent.
However, when Liuzi kindly reminded the Li family, Li Yuan and Li Ye did not want to keep watch.
"Sir, we've been walking all this way and are exhausted. We finally managed to get some sleep, but you still want us to keep watch. Isn't that putting us in a difficult position?" Li Ye smiled. "There are only two men in our family. We're exhausted from carrying all the bags during the day."
Liuzi looked at Li Yuan. He didn't sleep much yesterday because of his little daughter's crying, so he wanted to make up for it with a good sleep tonight.
"I'm a light sleeper. I'll wake up if I hear any movement."
Liuzi thought that since he had been reminded anyway, if something really happened, it couldn’t be blamed on him, right?
That night, they stayed in the inn. There was no meal cooked, but Li Yuan paid the inn to prepare it.
This was also what the Gu family had originally planned, but after Song Qiang got the recipe, she wanted to cook all the dishes in one go. Seeing such a good kitchen, how could she bear to miss it?
"Sister-in-law, please get me some water."
Zhang Yi nodded and was about to scoop water from the water tank, but was stopped by Li Mumu.
