Chapter 97: Running Away from Home
Xu Youyou glanced at the Yongzheng Tongbao coin. Sure enough, there was a tiny “女” character on the black part, which seemed to have been scratched on the black dirt with a fingernail.
But other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything special.
The middle-aged man who identified the fake copper coins took another look at it, looked at the stall owner with contempt, and said, "I thought the copper coin you were in a hurry to grab was a carved mother or mother coin, but I didn't expect it to be an ordinary seed coin."
The mother coin is the original version of the copper coin, which is hand-engraved and priced at millions. The mother coin is a standard sample coin directly cast from the mother coin. The price of the Yongzheng Tongbao mother coin is more than 100,000.
Ziqian is the most common Tongbao. Because of its large quantity and wide use, it is the least valuable.
It is normal for the middle-aged man to despise the stall owner. After all, if there are really hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in front of him and the other party is still a child, few people can keep their original intentions.
But you can’t even hold on to a few hundred bucks?
This moral bottom line is too low.
Because of this incident, although the stall owner's stall was not overturned, it was no different from if it was overturned. After all, he was notorious for his bad character in today's morning market, and customers all walked around his stall.
In other words, his trip to the antique morning market to ship goods had ended ahead of schedule.
Xu Youyou knew that the Yongzheng Tongbao coins in the child's hand were not worth a thousand yuan, but she still took the initiative to say, "Can you sell them to me? I'll pay one thousand yuan for each one."
The child didn't understand the market and said, "Sister, just give me a thousand dollars. I only have one coin, and the other one was won by you."
Xu Youyou looked at the little girl's clear and bright eyes, and her heart softened.
She was about to open her mouth to refuse when she suddenly heard a "cooing" sound.
The dirty child covered his belly shyly.
Xu Youyou gently patted the child's shoulder and said, "I've been busy for so long, I'm hungry. Come on, sister will treat you to breakfast."
The child shook his head vigorously when he heard this and said, "Sister, I have money now, I can treat you to a meal!"
Xu Youyou was filled with helplessness. This kid was obviously so poor, yet he was still thinking about repaying her.
Whenever she encounters a child like this, she wants to help, even if the system does not prompt her.
"Let's go out first. There is a breakfast stall outside." Xu Youyou said with a smile.
After strolling around the antique morning market for a few hours, she was actually a little hungry.
After leaving the building where the morning market was located and leaving the dim lights, Xu Youyou felt a little uncomfortable at first when she saw the bright sunshine outside.
The child ran to a snack stand selling multi-grain pancakes and said, "Auntie, I want eight multi-grain pancakes. I want to add all the toppings to six of them, and no extra toppings to the other two. I want to make the simplest ones."
The child didn't have a cell phone, so Xu Youyou asked Xu Fang to go to the ATM to withdraw two thousand yuan in cash, but the child was only willing to accept one thousand yuan.
At this time, the child bought eight multi-grain pancakes at once, and even took the four bodyguards and Xu Fang behind Xu Youyou into consideration.
The child took out one of the ten red bills she had just received. Although her face was filled with pain, she still generously paid for the multi-grain pancakes. The remaining banknotes were carefully put into the child's pocket.
The first multi-grain pancake with all the toppings was ready and was immediately presented to Xu Youyou like a child offering a treasure: "Sister, eat it while it's hot! This is especially delicious!"
After Xu Youyou became rich, she tried all kinds of expensive restaurants and rarely ate at roadside stalls that could not be guaranteed to be clean.
Xu Fang behind him seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to say something but didn't want to reject the child's kindness. Seeing Xu Youyou took the multi-grain pancake without changing her expression, Xu Fang quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really delicious. Have you eaten it before?" Xu Youyou asked casually.
Xu Youyou actually lied. The taste of this multi-grain pancake was average, and the sausage inside was probably the lower quality starch sausage, which tasted a bit weird.
The child swallowed and whispered, "I've picked up other people's leftovers before. I don't understand why someone would take one bite of such a delicious multi-grain pancake and throw it away. My sister and I both think it's delicious."
Xu Youyou's throat choked when she heard that, and she couldn't say anything for a moment.
At this time, the second serving of multi-grain pancakes with added ingredients was also ready, and the child immediately took it and handed it to Xu Fang.
Xu Youyou watched the child give the bodyguards multi-grain pancakes with added ingredients, and then thought of the remaining two basic multi-grain pancakes. She realized that these were left by the child for her and her sister, so she turned to the stall owner and said, "Add whatever you want to the other two, and I'll pay for the extra money."
The child immediately said, "No, no! I just want the simplest one!"
Xu Youyou shook her head: "You've already treated me to a meal, can't I treat you back?"
But the child said: "I really want to thank my sister."
Xu Youyou said: "I also sincerely regard you as a friend. You just helped me earn a Yongzheng Tongbao. Can't I thank my friend?"
The child's face was flushed, and his eyes sparkled as he looked at Xu Youyou. He couldn't resist the temptation of the luxurious multi-grain pancakes. "Sister, you are so kind."
Xu Youyou smiled and took the initiative to say, "My name is Xu Youyou. I don't know your name yet."
The child was confused, but he thought that friends shouldn't hide things from each other, so he whispered, "My name is... my name is... Ye Bitch..."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she was stunned for a moment, as if a hand had viciously grabbed her heart. She couldn't understand what kind of parents would give their child such a name.
The child explained in a low voice: "My father doesn't like me...my family hates girls..."
The child lowered her head in inferiority. She seemed very afraid that Xu Youyou would be unhappy because of her name. In the past, in the village, her friends didn’t want to play with her and her sister. She was very afraid that the beautiful sister in front of her would ignore her.
But she suddenly felt a warm touch on her hair: "My... my hair is dirty..."
She had been living in the open air in Shanghai and hadn't washed her hair for many days. Xu Youyou in front of her had a clean face and exquisite clothes, and she was really afraid of getting Xu Youyou's hands dirty.
Xu Youyou didn't care at all and said, "I don't think you're dirty. How can good friends dislike each other?"
The child's eyes were sore.
Xu Youyou added: "I like girls the most. Girls are the most beautiful creatures in the world."
The corners of the child's mouth slightly raised, and he said again: "I like my sister too."
Xu Youyou asked again: "Where are your parents?"
There was a flash of fear in the child's eyes and his lips trembled, as if he was struggling over whether to tell the truth.
Xu Youyou said: "We are good friends, you can tell me directly if you have anything to say."
The child hesitated for a long time, and seemed to have made a great decision, and said: "I ran away from home... I don't want to go back..."
