Because of the matter of the five hundred taels of silver, the three of them lost interest in continuing to play in the mountains and went straight home.
However, from a great distance, they saw Wan Suizhou standing at the gate of the courtyard, gazing intently in their direction.
"Grandpa, we're back!"
Baili Wanwan waved the silver notes in her hand and ran quickly toward Wan Suizhou.
"Hey, slow down, slow down, don't fall!"
Wan Suizhou, still worried, took two steps forward to greet her, causing Baili Wanwan to fall directly into his arms.
Wan Yuechi and Wan Yuekui caught up and said to Wan Suizhou with smiles, "Wanwan has some good news to tell you."
"Oh? What good thing has happened to Wanwan this time?"
Wan Suizhou's eyes were filled with doting affection, and as he spoke, he noticed what Baili Wanwan was holding and paused in surprise.
The next second, the stack of silver notes was stuffed into his hand.
"Wanwan dug up ginseng! She sold it for a lot of money!"
Baili Wanwan proudly puffed out her little chest, her smug little chin almost reaching the sky.
However, such actions are strangely endearing and not at all annoying.
Wan Suizhou had just unfolded the silver note when he carefully counted it, and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, Wan Yuechi, who was standing nearby, helped him stand up.
He stared at Baili Wanwan in disbelief: "This silver note...?"
That's a full five hundred taels!
Even when he was out traveling, he rarely earned this much money in a month. But then, Baili Wanwan went on a trip to the mountains and suddenly...
"Grandpa, Wanwan has found a fifty-year-old ginseng!"
Wan Yuechi said with a smile, and Wan Yuekui added, "If you ask me, Wanwan is really a lucky charm. Good things always happen around her, and we benefit from it too!"
As he spoke, he raised the basket on his back, inside which was a large rabbit.
"Wanwan said she wants to eat it."
"Great! We have distinguished guests today, so let's add another dish to our dinner!"
Wan Suizhou's eyes narrowed with laughter as he patted Baili Wanwan's head, his tone indulgent: "Wanwan isn't our little lucky charm. Her destiny is far greater than this!"
Wan Yuekui and Wan Yuechi seemed to understand but not quite, but before they could think about it further, their attention was drawn to Baili Wanwan.
"Grandpa, are we having guests tonight?"
Baili Wanwan's eyes lit up when she spoke, full of curiosity.
"Indeed, and this is indeed a distinguished guest..."
Wan Suizhou stroked his beard as if keeping someone in suspense, then his expression suddenly became serious: "But you must not tell anyone about this. This distinguished guest is always low-key and doesn't like too many people knowing his whereabouts."
After he finished speaking, the three younger children nodded as if they understood.
Wan Suizhou knew that these children were also smart, so he stopped worrying and instead called Wan Yuechi to his room to help him with his homework for the day.
With nothing to do, Baili Wanwan noticed it was getting late and tugged at Wan Yuekui's sleeve: "Brother, shall we roast a rabbit?"
"OK!"
Wan Yuekui was just looking for something to do, but after hearing this, he perked up.
However, once you actually get the hang of it, you find it's not that easy.
The first thing to do is... how should this rabbit be killed?
The little rabbit was round and cute, with eyes like jewels, bright and clear, making Wan Yuekui feel a little reluctant to touch it.
Holding the cleaver, he turned to look at Baili Wanwan, who was hiding at the other end of the yard with her eyes covered, and asked hesitantly, "Really kill her?"
Even Baili Wanwan is in a dilemma!
She did want to eat rabbit meat, but the little rabbit was really cute.
She was truly torn between satisfying her cravings and sparing the little rabbit's life. As her features contorted in despair, she suddenly heard voices outside.
Looking up, she saw a handsome young boy standing outside the railing, staring intently at her.
"Little girl, we meet again."
A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes. He hadn't expected that his old friend, who had come to visit his father, would run into the little girl who had shown interest in him in the mountains earlier that day.
However, Baili Wanwan's expression turned somewhat fierce after hearing those words.
I'm ignoring you!
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and squatted down, staring blankly at the pile of firewood.
Even her small figure exudes stubbornness and vitality!
"How dare you! You little brat from the village, how dare you talk to..."
The guard behind Xiao Qi shouted, but before he could finish speaking, Xiao Qi interrupted him.
"Wanwan".
Xiao Qi said with a faint smile, and although it was just two simple words, when he said them in his voice, which was like a clear mountain spring, they took on a special flavor.
Baili Wanwan's ears twitched, and she immediately stopped being angry.
But instead of getting up, she turned her head and pouted at Xiao Qi: "If you can't remember Wanwan's name next time, Wanwan will never talk to you again!"
The little girl is so cute and fierce, it melts your heart.
Xiao Qi knew she had calmed down, and secretly chuckled to himself that this little girl was so easy to coax. His feet unconsciously moved towards her, and he knelt down, gently extending his hand to Baili Wanwan:
"I've always remembered your name, I just wanted to tease you."
He blurted out his thoughts, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized something was amiss.
Before he could even figure it out, the guards behind him were nearly speechless with shock!
Since the incident at home, Xiao Qi's personality has changed drastically. The once gentle and mild-mannered boy, as warm as a spring breeze in March, has become sullen and withdrawn.
There's always an eerie, gloomy aura around him.
They rarely communicate with others!
Unexpectedly, this young master actually smiled and said such things in front of a little girl from the village!
The guard immediately looked at Baili Wanwan with new respect.
Thinking that if Xiao Qi could regain his former personality, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take the little girl back.
But just as this thought crossed his mind, a dark figure suddenly appeared from the side.
He directly intervened between the two and slapped Xiao Qi's hand away.
"What do you mean by coming to someone else's house without even saying hello?"
Because of the five hundred taels, Wan Yuekui originally had some goodwill towards Xiao Qihai.
But now that I see this person getting so close to Wanwan, I can't hold back anymore!
Their attitude towards Xiao Qi also made a complete 180-degree turn.
I wish I could kick him out right now!
Seeing her older brother suddenly get angry, Baili Wanwan tilted her head and thought for a while, but couldn't find the reason.
But she didn't forget to tiptoe and whisper in his ear, "Brother, is he a distinguished guest?"
A single word awakened me from my dream!
Wan Yuekui's arrogance vanished instantly, and he stared wide-eyed at Xiao Qi.
