Chapter 4 What's it to you?
Lin Jianfei was stunned for a moment.
“Brother Chunping, your family already has quite a few children. Raising another one will make your life even more difficult.”
Mu Chunping reached out and wiped the pastry crumbs from Ningbao's mouth, then gently pulled her into his arms.
"Brother Jianfei, thank you. I know you're doing this for my family's good."
But this child is at most two or three years old…
"Three and a half years old!" Ningbao seriously counted on three fingers, then frowned and hesitated over the last half...
Looking at her cute little face, Mu Chunping chuckled softly.
"Yes, three and a half years old."
Mu Chunping looked at Lin Jianfei and continued speaking.
"This child is only three and a half years old. If we don't take care of her while she's suffering from hunger and thirst, she might not even survive today, and who knows..."
Looking at the little girl in Mu Chunping's arms, Lin Jianfei also felt a little reluctant.
Ning Bao saw Lin Jianfei's gaze and immediately gave a sweet smile.
Hello, Uncle.
Lin Jianfei, being a father himself, was most vulnerable to such soft and sweet little girls. Looking at Ningbao's sweet smile and chubby little face, he couldn't help but want to pinch her cheeks.
Ningbao nestled in Mu Chunping's arms, feeling very happy. She stretched out her two little arms and wrapped them around Mu Chunping's neck.
Feeling the little girl's affection, Mu Chunping was also very happy. He gave Lin Jianfei some instructions and then walked over to his own people in the group.
The Taoist priest Sanqing, who had been hiding in the tree, saw Ningbao being taken away by a destined person. He took one last, reluctant look at her, and then flew away.
Ningbao waved her little hand in the direction where the Three Pure Ones had flown away, and quietly said to herself,
"Master, take care!"
...
The villagers of Linshang Village were quite surprised to see Mu Chunping carrying a chubby little girl.
"Chunping, why are you holding a little girl? Where did she come from?"
Mu Chunping said calmly,
"I found it."
Did you find it?
"Bringing home children during a famine? Mu Chunping, are you crazy? You can barely support your own kids, and you're bringing home a money-losing burden?"
"Ningbao isn't a money-loser, Ningbao is just destined to lack wealth. But Master said that as long as Ningbao is willing to work hard, she will definitely earn a lot of money in the future." Ningbao pouted; she didn't like this aggressive grandmother.
However, this old lady has a dark mist between her eyebrows, it seems she's about to have some bad luck. Humph! I won't tell her, let her have her bad luck.
Although Ningbao didn't understand what Zhao Juhua meant by "money-losing goods," she knew it couldn't be a compliment. Her biggest and only goal in the past three and a half years was to earn lots of money and eat delicious food.
She has a big appetite, and her master said that raising her would cost a lot of money. Anyway, she only wants to earn money and doesn't want to lose money.
Looking at the little girl with her puffed-up cheeks, Mu Chunping couldn't help but ruffle her hair.
“Good boy, our Ningbao is not a money-loser, our Ningbao is a lucky star.”
Mu Chunping glanced displeasedly at his aunt, Zhao Juhua, who had spoken.
"Auntie, the child is our family's child. No matter how hard it is, we will do our best to raise him well. You don't need to worry about him."
"Ha!" Zhao Juhua sneered, "No good deed goes unpunished. Do you think I want to bother with you? If it weren't for the fact that you're my old man's nephew, I wouldn't bother with your business."
Mu Chunping had no good feelings towards Zhao Juhua, her aunt. Not only did she like to gossip about others, but she was also sexist, sharp-tongued, and greedy.
Because of this aunt, the two branches of the Mu family are not close.
Mu Chunping glanced at Zhao Juhua indifferently.
"Don't worry, even if we starve to death, we will never borrow food from you."
Zhao Juhua snorted coldly.
"Hmph! That had better be the case."
After saying this, Zhao Juhua, feeling embarrassed, swayed her hips and walked towards her family.
