Some of the children cried with pouts but dared not make a sound, some just curiously peered at them from behind the door, some rolled their eyes at her as if they looked down on her, and some glared at her fiercely like vicious dogs.
Suddenly, she remembered from a distant memory that her grandmother used to say "sell her" all the time, and her mother always protected her back then, crying terribly!
Now, her grandmother, who used to say she was going to "sell her," takes her out to play and buys her delicious food and fun toys. This time, they even came out to buy her a maid who knows needlework, just because she said she wanted to learn.
The mother who once sheltered her no longer wanted to come back, and her letters home didn't mention her at all, as if she had forgotten that her daughter was even alive.
The little girl didn't know how to describe her feelings, but suddenly she couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face. She bit her lip, not wanting to cry out loud, afraid that her grandmother, who was driving the carriage, would hear and worry.
Although her grandmother treated her very well, she still missed her mother! She missed her mother's frail body, but the embrace that gave her a sense of security!
Soft sobs came from inside the carriage. Yue Jiuyue sighed, pretended not to hear, and continued driving the carriage home.
Although it's unclear why Xiaoman suddenly cried, since she didn't cry out loud, she probably didn't want her to know, so it's better that she doesn't know.
Cry if you want, it's not a big deal. Everyone has moments of vulnerability.
The horse trotted along with its brisk steps, pulling the carriage forward with its head held high and chest out, without Yue Jiuyue needing to give any commands.

In a certain alley in Qinan Prefecture, a family of four was driven out of their home by several burly men. Their luggage was thrown everywhere, and pots and pans were smashed on the ground. The baby boy in the woman's arms was crying loudly in fright, the man was curled up on the ground as if he were dead, and the big boy next to him was beaten so badly that he couldn't get up.
The gate to the courtyard was slammed shut and then locked with a click.
Before leaving, the burly men spat at the man on the ground, then swaggered over to show off their iron fists and biceps, not forgetting to taunt him as they went:
"Why bother renting a place if you have no money? You might as well live in a dilapidated temple outside the city!"
"You poor bastards! Even beggars are doing better than you!"
"You country bumpkin! Go back to the countryside and farm! This isn't a place for people like you!"
Every word was piercing, causing Liu to hate her family and Yue Jiuyue even more.
If her mother-in-law had sent the money to them in time, they wouldn't have needed to rent a place to live, and they wouldn't have ended up in this predicament!
Of course, the harsh words those people said before they left only strengthened Liu's resolve to stay in the state capital. She refused to believe that Qinan State couldn't accommodate her family of three!
However, they are currently penniless, making it extremely difficult for them to stay.
But she was unwilling to go back so dejectedly.
Liu spread the quilt next to Lin Chaodong, then put Dazhuang on the quilt to lie down, gave him a toy that wasn't broken to play with, and went to tidy up the belongings that had been thrown out.
How can I stay?
Ah! She's got it!
