The little dumpling rolled its bright eyes and then held out its fair and tender sales pitch to Yu Kun, "Uncle with the big beard, here's your payment."
Yu Kun's small eyes widened, thinking that the little dumpling hadn't understood what he had just said, and he was about to explain to the little dumpling.
Then you see the little dumpling's big eyes shining, and she explains very seriously, "Big Beard Uncle, you touched my soft hair and it got all wet, you can't just leave it for nothing!"
[Hahaha, Yu the Bearded, you're so shameless! You've forced that little dumpling to the point of selling herself out.]
[Yu the Bearded Man, how dare you mistreat my brother and sister like this! Just you wait, I've got the sack ready, just waiting to trap you.]
Am I the only one who feels sorry for Miss Xianxian being isolated?
[Upstairs, you probably need to go brush up on the gossip about the Qin and Su families. Miss Xianxian is no innocent girl.]
...
The comments section went off-topic. Although neither the Su nor Qin families had told anyone about Qin Miaoxian's affair, secrets can't stay hidden forever.
Qin Miaoxian's story had already spread throughout the wealthy circles of Chongqing.
Yu Kun's lips twitched, and his beard trembled as well. "Little Softie, what kind of reward do you want?"
"Well..." The little dumpling thought for a moment, pinching her two little pigtails, "Give me some food. I want five catties of meat, ten catties of vegetables, and three catties of rice, that'll be fine!"
Yu Da Hu Zi's eyes twitched this time. It seemed that the little dumpling wanted to change everyone's food for the night!
She truly lives up to her reputation as the little princess of the Su family; even touching a single strand of her hair comes at such a high price.
Su Yan, who was leisurely lying on a pile of pine needles with his legs crossed, immediately chimed in, "Old Yu, you choose: are you going to offer compensation or I'll have a serious talk with my older brother about you touching my sister?"
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng, Chen Guoqing, and Zhou Ming quickly joined in to help them get some benefits, saying, "Old Yu, look how cute and adorable that little darling is, how can you bear to refuse her?"
"Old Yu, if you make Xiao Ruanruan cry, not only Su Yan, but even these little rascals here won't let you off the hook."
The three little monkeys who were called upon immediately swarmed over and surrounded Yu Kun.
Qin Zecheng glanced at Qin Miaoxian, who had become dazed since talking to Su Yan, and frowned deeply. If they were to expect her to do anything, they would probably have to go hungry tonight.
If he had known that bringing Qin Miaoxian onto this show would be so embarrassing, he wouldn't have bothered with Qin Tao's money.
His gaze swept over the other four groups of guests. It was unrealistic for him to directly try to get close to Su Yan, after all, the Su family and the Qin family were mortal enemies.
So, he consciously walked over to the other three.
At this point, Yu Kun had already reached an agreement with the four adorable children: he could only exchange touching the little ones' hair for three kilograms of rice, while the other vegetables and meat would have to be earned through their labor.
They can find mountain products like chestnuts in this forest, and exchange one pound of mountain products for one pound of vegetables, and two pounds of mountain products for one pound of meat.
Several adorable children went to their older brothers or fathers and headed into the mountains. Because Qin Zecheng had come up and tried to get close to them, the other three groups of guests felt embarrassed to continue ignoring them.
Veteran artist Chen Guoqing called out to Qin Zecheng, "Brother Xianxian, let's go find some mountain produce together."
"Hey!" Qin Zecheng immediately followed.
The bearded man was right. There were plenty of chestnuts in the mountains, and it was the season for chestnuts to ripen. They found several chestnut trees without much effort.
The adults used nearby dry branches to knock down the chestnuts, while the children picked them up under the trees, peeling off the spiky outer shells as they played, having a great time.
In no time, the two snakeskin bags borrowed from the production team were filled.
The four children jumped and skipped around the fruits of their labor, one after another stepping forward to see if they could lift the big bag.
Only Qin Miaoxian stood to the side, biting her lip, looking aggrieved the whole time.
Qin Zecheng quickly became friends with Zhang Cheng, Chen Guoqing, and Zhou Ming, and even Su Yan would occasionally chime in with his words.
After harvesting the chestnuts, the fathers and brothers took the chestnuts back to exchange them for food rations with the production crew.
Chen Guoqing is older and came from a difficult period, so digging a stove in the wild is not a difficult task for him.
After the stove was dug, a pot was rented from the production team for the price of two kilograms of chestnuts.
The adults cooked, while the children played nearby.
The little dumpling took a small stick and started turning over the pine needles scattered on the ground.
Dudu ran over, "Ruanruan, what are you doing?"
"Looking for bugs." Little Ruanruan's fair and tender hands were now covered in black mud. She opened her palm, and several plump bugs were already lying in her small palm.
Qingzai stretched out his slender little finger and poked the fat worm in her little hand. "Ruanruan, what did you bring this for?"
"Eat!" Su Ruanruan answered without hesitation.
There was a pine forest near the orphanage where she used to live. Since there were no snacks at the orphanage, she would go with the older children to the pine forest to dig up the fat worms under the pine needles.
After taking them home, the headmistress will help them dry the insects. They taste fragrant and crispy, and they're so delicious!
"Disgusting! You even eat insects. A leopard can't change its spots. So what if you go back to the Su family? You're still a little beggar at heart," Qin Miaoxian said sarcastically from the side.
