Grandma Han glanced at Han Luoxue, who had an unfriendly expression, and then at Han Yuchen, who was like a guardian angel beside her. She changed the direction of her slap and landed it on Han Juhua's dirty face with a loud slap.
"Grandma, why did you hit me again?"
Han Juhua felt wronged and wanted to cry. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why was she the one who got beaten?
"Hmph, I was just wondering how you got that on your face, but little did I know you already knew."
Han Juhua's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Han Luoxue with resentment.
That brat! If she hadn't been so talkative, how would Old Lady Han have noticed?
"Grandma, I don't know anything! Oh no, please don't twist me, it hurts..."
The sound faded into the distance; Han Luoxue and Han Yuchen had already walked some distance away.
"That's thirty catties of grain, you really don't want it?"
That's no small amount. With these thirty catties of grain, Uncle Han's family can survive for another two months.
"No, most people in the village are actually quite nice."
When she first arrived, she didn't feel that the villagers were particularly kind.
That day, when everyone was going through their most difficult time at home, they brought them food. Han Luoxue decided then and there that she would help them whenever she could within her means.
"yes."
The two went to the Liu family first, and saw Han Luoxue again. The servant at the door smiled and personally led her to see the steward.
"Miss Xue, I gave the sour dates you gave me last time to my young master, and he rewarded me with two catties of grain."
He had eaten sour jujubes before, but they weren't filling, so he asked the steward about them, and to his surprise, they had actually been replaced with grain. He was overjoyed.
"Congratulations."
These days, food is more gratifying than silver.
"Who are you..."
The servant had seen her face before, but this was the first time Steward Fu had ever seen her.
"Butler, am I right? Miss Xue'er is really beautiful."
The servant said smugly, and even winked playfully at the steward.
"You...you're the Xue'er girl from yesterday?"
Butler Fu was still somewhat incredulous, but Han Luoxue smiled faintly:
"As I said yesterday, my family kidnapped me, intending to sell me to Butcher Liu, which I naturally couldn't agree to. That's why..."
"This girl is truly amazing."
Such a beautiful young girl, it's really rare to find someone who could be so cruel as to turn herself into such an ugly person.
"Hehe, I'm glad Uncle Fu doesn't blame me."
Han Luoxue chuckled, and Butler Fu looked at the man beside her and smiled:
"Is this your man? He's quite intimidating, though. Xue'er, you're so pretty, you should find a more capable man."
Han Luoxue's smile vanished instantly.
Han Yuchen was also speechless. He used to be a handsome and charming man who was popular with thousands of girls. How come he became someone who could fool people in the eyes of this butler?
Most girls like good-looking men, so what about Han Luoxue?
Would my current appearance be pleasing to her?
Han Yuchen felt a little uncertain.
"She is not my man."
Han Luoxue wanted to explain further, but Uncle Fu waved his hand:
"Not now, I know that."
"You don't know," Han Luoxue wanted to say, but then thought better of it.
"Did your young master like yesterday's food?"
"I love it, I love it, especially the sour jujubes. Young Master really likes them. Do you have any more, girl? We'll buy some."
Han Luoxue checked her storage space and found that she didn't have many jujubes, only two or three pounds in total. She didn't have any snacks right now, and she wanted to save them for herself.
"There's still a pound left, but I wanted to ask you today if you'd like any tenderer corn cobs?"
"A tender corncob? How do you eat this?"
Generally, if corn is too young, the yield will be low, so few people harvest it in advance.
"It'll taste delicious as soon as you cook it. How about I make some now, Uncle Fu, you can try it first?"
Butler Fu nodded repeatedly and led the two directly to the kitchen.
When he saw Han Yuchen's walking posture, his eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't show it.
The kitchen had everything, and Han Luoxue took out ten large corncobs.
Butler Fu was shocked once again.
"Snow Girl, you're such a corn..."
Although they don't farm themselves, this is truly the first time they've ever seen such a large corncob.
"Uncle Fu, you can smell it first, it tastes delicious."
"Uncle Fu, I heard that a very beautiful lady has come to your residence, is that true?"
Just as Han Luoxue placed the stick in Butler Fu's hand, a five or six-year-old boy ran in, shouting.
When he saw that stunning beauty in the kitchen, he was completely stunned.
"Are you... are you a fairy?"
This is the first time the young master has seen such a beautiful woman; she is far more beautiful than any of the concubines in the mansion.
No, that's not it.
Judging from the man's clothes, Han Luoxue could make a rough guess. The boy was pale and thin, clearly malnourished, and looked more like a disaster victim than the starving disaster victims outside.
"Sister, you are so beautiful."
The little guy exaggeratedly covered his mouth, making Han Luoxue giggle.
"Sweetie, I'll make you something delicious in a bit."
"Mmm." The little guy nodded repeatedly, and without any hesitation, he stepped forward and took Han Luoxue's hand, his words sweet as ever:
"Fairy sister, what delicious food are you going to make for me? Ugh, the food at your residence is awful, I'm starving."
Uncle Fu...
