"You all keep talking so much, be careful of retribution!" Li Chunhua felt embarrassed when she saw that these people were talking back at her, so she cursed and turned around to walk home.
The little girl quickly got up from the ground and followed her into the house, crying. Soon, the sound of beating and scolding could be heard faintly from inside.
Although Mrs. Shen felt sympathy, she couldn't really take another girl home to raise. She had no feelings for other people's children and only wanted to devote all her energy to her own children. Moreover, the family was poor and it was difficult to raise five children. She was determined to raise Fubao well, so she would never raise another child.
At most, I could give the little girl some food when she had no food to eat, but nothing more.
…
The food cooked by Old Lady Shen and the two cooks was really delicious. The villagers ate with gusto. Huo Jinxi, who usually didn't like to eat, ate a big bowl of rice for the first time today, which made Jiang Meilan very happy.
It seems that the Shen family is really a blessed place!
While Jiang Meilan was chatting with Lin Xiujuan, Old Lady Shen secretly took the red envelope, walked to Huo Jinxi, and whispered to him, "Kid, this is your mother's stuff, take it back, our family doesn't want it."
As she spoke, she tried to stuff the red envelope into Huo Jinxi's pocket, but Huo Jinxi quickly dodged it and said seriously with a stern face, "No, this is not from my mother, it's from Fubao!"
"This..." Old Mrs. Shen didn't expect him to say that. She thought that children were easy to talk to and would definitely accept the red envelope. She quickly handed him the red envelope and said sternly, "Child, take it back if I tell you to. Why are you talking nonsense? Take it quickly!"
"No, this belongs to Fubao. I won't accept it. I'll keep it for her! Maybe, I can use it as a betrothal gift for her in the future!" After saying that, he stood up and walked to Jiang Meilan with his hands behind his back, like an old cadre.
Old Madam Shen, "......!!"
Dowry? She really thought long-term! If she didn't want the money, could she beat up the brat?
Fubao lay in Lin Xiujuan's arms and glanced at Huo Jinxi.
Coincidentally, the little boy also looked up at her, and his eyes met hers. A light of determination flashed across his eyes. It was like a hunter who had spotted his desired prey and was just waiting to take it into his pocket!
Fubao shuddered for no apparent reason.
No, why should she be afraid or nervous? She is the lucky star of heaven, a fairy, why should she be afraid of a mere mortal kid?
In the afternoon, the villagers had eaten and drunk their fill, and the full moon celebration was coming to an end.
The whole family forgot about Li Chunhua who had caused trouble in the morning and were laughing and talking happily. When they sent the villagers out of the yard, Old Mrs. Shen still had a smile on her face.
Jiang Meilan and Huo Jinxi were the last to leave, and it was already evening when they left. If it wasn't for the late hour, Huo Jinxi would not have wanted to leave. When he left the yard, he kept looking back and staring at Fubao in Lin Xiujuan's arms.
Fubao really didn't want to pay any attention to this brat, so he closed his eyes and thought out of sight, out of mind.
Seeing Huo Jinxi's reluctance to leave, Jiang Meilan couldn't help laughing and joked, "Son, do you like Fubao so much? Why don't you just stay here and be her child husband? Mom is going back."
She thought her son had some conscience and would shake his head and say no, saying he wanted to go back with his mother. However, Huo Jinxi nodded without even thinking and said, "Okay, Mom, you go."
