Chapter 113 114. Xiao Dongzi
Jin Qianqian didn't notice from beginning to end that the little boy who had followed her silently all the way turned around and left silently.
Holding the key, she pushed open the door and said, "Little donkey, go eat the grass by yourself. When your husband comes back, I will help you shake the cart off your back. I can't move it by myself."
“Oooooh—ooooh—ooh—”
"There's nothing I can do even if you scream," Jin Qianqian said, closing the door, and then humming a song as she went to the kitchen to try a few more pastries.

"Xiao Dongzi, why did you come back empty-handed?" The bearded man squinted at the little boy, "Are you not going to eat?"
Xiao Dongzi, "That woman met someone she knew. I have no confidence at all on my own. Uncle Hu doesn't want me to get beaten up. Can you buy me some medicine?"
The bearded man kicked over, but Xiao Dongzi dodged swiftly, "If you hurt me again, we'll starve to death together."
After saying this, he looked meaningfully at the bearded man's arm. This was also the arm that was broken when he was caught stealing. Now they couldn't pay the silver and could only watch the wound fester.
"It's really unfortunate that I have to meet someone as useless as you. I have taught you for several years, but you have never succeeded." The bearded man gritted his teeth, "Let alone other things, your uncle's wound is really painful. Even if you can't buy medicine, you have to find a way to get food, otherwise we will both starve to death."
Xiao Dongzi clenched his fists stubbornly and said, "I'll go to the intersection and kneel down to beg. I don't want to do anything sneaky."
The bearded man said, "Now you are being aloof, but why did you eat the food I brought you before?
I warn you, no matter what you say today, you have to feed me, otherwise even if my hands can't move, I will kick you to death."
Xiao Dongzi, "Uncle Hu, how about we move to another place? I can find a job and support us.
I know that I have been able to survive all these years because of you, but I really don't want to be a petty thief.
The last time you failed, you paid such a heavy price. If I end up like this, then we will really be doomed.
Uncle, I also want to live a stable life for a few years, even if it's a little hard and tiring. "
The bearded man kicked him to the ground when he wasn't paying attention, "That's easy for you to say, we have nothing, where would anyone take us in?
Or do you want to sell yourself into slavery? Your descendants will be driven by others in the future."
"So what? At least I live like a human being," Xiao Dongzi wiped his eyes, "Just now, I even felt that I was not as good as a donkey. Although it is a livestock, it can get enough food and clothing through its own efforts. But we are always mice hiding in the corner, and sometimes even worse than mice."
The bearded man licked his lips and said, "This world is unfair. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been the one to protect you from disaster."
"So many years have passed, who would still remember you? And this has nothing to do with me. I was just picked up by you, and they can't find fault with me."
"Have you grown too independent, kid? Do you want to abandon me?" The bearded man stared at Xiao Dongzi.
Xiao Dongzi, "No, you have raised me for so many years, I will definitely be filial to you in the future.
I have been thinking a lot on the way here just now. I am grown up now. As long as I work harder, I can always make ends meet for us."
"What do you think, kid?" The bearded man looked at him puzzledly.
"I'm going to work for someone else," Xiao Dongzi's eyes sparkled, "Didn't we drive a car before? Today I found out...
Anyway, don't worry about it. I'll give it a try tomorrow. If it works, it won't be that bad. "
"It's up to you then," the bearded man pursed his lips and muttered, "I've been teaching you for nothing these years. Do you really think it's that easy to be a day laborer? If that were the case, I wouldn't be reduced to this state."

Gu Wenheng stared at Jin Qianqian as she drank the medicine in the bowl, and quickly handed her a candied fruit, "Even if I'm not at home, you can't be so lazy.
You've already walked ninety-nine steps, you don't want to waste all the medicine you drank before, right?"
Jin Qianqian clasped her hands together and said, "Honey, I was just busy and didn't think about it for a while. You've been nagging about it for hours, please let me go."
I never knew that the senior’s teachings were exactly the same as before. The devilish sound pierced my ears and my eardrums were almost callused.
Gu Wenheng pinched her nose. Now that they had more time alone, the two of them became closer and closer. "It's no use calling me husband. You have to remember that this body doesn't belong to you alone. We have to think about the future. Have you noticed that you've finally gained some weight during this period of time?"
Jin Qianqian took out the mirror and observed carefully, "It's still the same, but because I haven't been exposed to the sun for some time, my face is a little whiter."
Gu Wenheng stroked her little face and said, "Indeed, it is smoother now. It seems that all those skin care products I bought before were not in vain."
"This is a must," Jin Qianqian said with a smug smile, "It would be enough for me to use them for several lifetimes, and they are all international brands. I will definitely maintain myself into a goddess who will never age."
Gu Wenheng: "..." Then should I also be diligent? Otherwise, if there is a generation gap, where can I go to seek justice?
"By the way, I met Captain Li on my way back. No one from my family was on the list of criminals reported this time." Gu Wenheng frowned. Such a long time had passed, and people were comforting the victims everywhere. These people couldn't just disappear out of thin air!
Jin Qianqian, "Where will they go? Except for my second brother, who has a registered permanent residence, the others don't. Aren't they all directly repatriated in such cases?"
Gu Wenheng, "I'm not worried about my second brother and the others. I'm worried about Le Tian and the Le family. If they weren't with my second brother and the others, these two guys wouldn't have a penny on them, and they would definitely suffer."
Jin Qianqian teased, "Why aren't you worried about Gu Lao?"
Gu Wenheng looked disapproving, "Selfish people will live better than anyone else wherever they go. Even though Gu Yuanlei relies on his family for everything, if he gets really ruthless, he probably doesn't even know where his bottom line is.
Besides, didn’t my brother and the others say that? He is accompanied by the girl from the Lan family, so maybe she has other plans.”
Jin Qianqian, "That's really possible. It's said that those who are favored are fearless and do things more recklessly. However, he may have forgotten that the people outside are not his parents, so no one will spoil him."
Gu Wenheng, "Let's not talk about these disappointing things. How come the moment I walked in, I could smell the aroma of pastries filling the entire kitchen? What did you make today?"
Jin Qianqian took out a plate of steaming red bean and yam cakes and said, "Use local ingredients. If we want to make other cakes, we need to renovate our kitchen."
