Chapter 74: Going up the mountain to collect herbs 1



"Nannan?" Shen Jianlin looked at her in surprise, not knowing what she was going to do, but he still put her down.

Fubao walked up to Guan Xiaorui, took out a few candies given by the village chief from the pocket of her skirt, handed them to her and said, "This is for you!"

"For...for me?" Guan Xiaorui was flattered.

I have hardly ever spoken to Fubao and I usually hide aside, watching how she is spoiled like a little princess by the Shen family. I feel inferior in my heart and even if I want to be friends with her, I dare not talk to her.

"Yes, it's for you. Take it." Fubao stuffed the candy into her hand, moved closer to her and said, "Put it away quietly, don't let your parents see it!"

"..." Guan Xiaorui held the candy, her lips trembling slightly, her eyes red, as if she was about to cry.

Seeing that this girl was thinner than her grandson and was beaten and scolded all day long, Mrs. Shen, who liked girls, couldn't bear it and took two pieces of bacon to give to her.

Guan Xiaorui seemed to be frightened. She quickly took two steps back and shook her head, saying, "No, no... Old lady, don't give it to me. If my parents see it, they will definitely scold me for not asking for more, and then they will beat me again, so don't give it to me."

How can there be such unreasonable parents?

"What a damn couple!" Old Mrs. Shen cursed, then sighed, "Well, when your parents are not at home, you can come over and have something to eat."

Guan Xiaorui's tears immediately fell. She looked at Mrs. Shen, then at Fubao, clenched the candy in her hand and said, "Mrs. Shen, Fubao, you are so kind... Thank you!"

At this time, Li Chunhua's harsh curse came from the room, "You bitch, why are you hanging around outside? Do you really want to die outside? If your brother is asleep, get back here!"

"I...I'll go back first!" Guan Xiaorui said in a panic, put the candy in her trouser pocket, turned around and ran into her yard.

Before entering the house, she took another look at Fubao's flowery dress and thought it was so pretty, making Fubao look particularly cute. If...if she wore it, it would definitely look good too!

The first batch of rice this year was planted, and now they have some free time. After Shen Jianlin and Lin Xiujuan returned to the county, the bored old man Shen saw that his health had completely recovered, so he decided to go back to his old job and go to the mountains to collect herbs.

However, he didn't dare to pick the precious medicinal herbs growing on the cliffs anymore. He almost lost his life when he fell down last time! Compared with money, life is more important.

Besides, now that he has a little granddaughter, Fubao, he wants to live longer and watch her grow up.

It rained last night. In the morning, when Fubao saw Old Man Shen taking a sickle and a bamboo basket and heading up the mountain, he wanted to go with him, so he ran to ask Old Lady Shen, "Grandma, can I go up the mountain with Grandpa to collect herbs?"

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she acted as if she had heard something horrifying, and immediately said with a stern face, "No!"

"Why?" Fubao's face suddenly fell, and he reached out to hug her legs, saying eagerly: "Grandma, I want to go out and play, please let me go with grandpa, I promise I won't run around!"

Old Madam Shen turned her head away, trying hard not to look at Fu Bao's spoiled appearance, and said with determination, "No way! Nannan, there are so many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains, you will be bitten if you go there!"
