Chapter 459 is too brutal!
Grandma Bai is almost driven crazy by Wang Mingtian!
That's the King of Insects!
This thing is extremely precious to them.
But my little fairy has spoken!
"Yes, this old servant is not angry. This old servant will capture that scoundrel and bring him back right away!"
After saying that, Granny Bai gave a sharp shout and turned to run away.
Little Su Bao couldn't help but cover her mouth, her big eyes blinking with a beaming smile.
Everyone looks to be in great spirits!
"Grandma Bai can definitely do it!" the little dumpling shouted loudly at Grandma Bai's back.
Wang Mingtian's lips twitched as he ran out.
This little apprentice, why is he siding with outsiders?
Wang Mingtian immediately ran even faster.
The crowd was speechless, and their eyes began to look strange.
The nameless old Taoist priest also came over, and his lips twitched slightly when he saw the direction Granny Bai had left.
He glanced at Xiao Su Bao; the little girl seemed to have improved her personality a lot, which was good.
"Ahem, I also think you, Grandma Bai, are capable!" he whispered to the little dumpling.
Xiao Su Bao subconsciously looked at the nameless old Taoist priest, only to see the old priest's lips curl up and his eyes filled with a smile.
The little dumpling was also infected and started laughing.
The nameless old Taoist secretly handed a piece of candy to Little Su Bao before hurrying off in the direction his sister Bai had left.
However, the nameless old Taoist priest turned back halfway through.
He had just caught a glimpse of something on the ground, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was the insect king's wings. This thing was quite something.
The nameless old Taoist didn't stand on ceremony; he grabbed the wings from the ground and left.
Little Su Bao was slightly stunned. Those wings looked really good quality; they hadn't broken even after being handled so roughly by the nameless grandfather.
The little dumpling was curious and couldn't help but glance at the spot that had been there a few more times.
Upon closer inspection, the little dumpling actually discovered something!
"Second Brother, quick, burn it!" Little Su Bao shouted loudly to Tang Qi.
Tang Qi rushed over almost immediately.
He grabbed a burning pine branch and burned several small fire ants on the ground to ashes.
Only after confirming that there were no remnants around did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.
“These things are too small; it will be difficult to kill them all!” The Second Prince also came over, his eyes filled with solemnity.
However, his complexion didn't look very good.
He glanced at Xiao Su Bao, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't speak.
We can't rely on a child for everything!
"It's alright, let's search more. Even if we can't kill them all, as long as we kill enough, that's fine!" Tang Qi scratched his head and revealed a simple, honest smile.
The second prince nodded and reached out to rub Xiao Su Bao's head.
"My niece is really something! Here, take this and play with it!" The Second Prince took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xiao Su Bao.
The third prince, standing to the side, was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting his second brother to give the jade pendant to Xiao Su Bao.
Could it be that Second Brother has feelings for Little Su Bao?
No, what if Second Brother dares to lay a hand on Little Su Bao...
That's brutal!
Second brother is so old, is he trying to mate with a young girl?
"What are you thinking about?" The Second Prince caught a glimpse of his Third Prince's gaze out of the corner of his eye and felt his hair stand on end; he was completely uneasy.
"Second brother, you... don't be impulsive! Little Su Bao is so young, you can't hurt her!"
The Third Prince whispered in his Second Brother's ear.
The second prince's face darkened, and without saying a word, he grabbed the third prince's clothes and started hitting him.
The villagers watched with great interest until the two stopped fighting. Only then did they reluctantly turn back and walk away with their hands behind their backs.
However, Tang Cheng left two people here: Tang Qi and Tang Xin's father.
Tang Cheng carried Xiao Su Bao towards home.
The others gathered around Xiao Su Bao, each taking out various wild fruits or dates from their pockets.
Everyone took turns feeding the little dumpling.
Even if Xiao Su Bao wanted to refuse, she couldn't.
At first, the little dumpling hesitated a bit, but...
"Gurgle!" Her little tummy made two gurgling sounds, which was quite disrespectful.
The villagers became even more enthusiastic, and in the end, all the little dumpling had to do was open its mouth in Tang Cheng's arms.
The villagers were incredibly excited along the way.
Some people secretly touched Xiao Su Bao's clothes, hoping to get some good luck.
The older grandparents, uncles, and aunts would pat the little baby's head from time to time.
Little Su Bao is experiencing both pain and joy!
She felt that the tiny hairs that had just grown on her head might be in mortal danger.
But for some reason, she looked very happy.
Tang Bugui, who was not far away, watched this scene with a smile in his eyes.
My daughter seems to really like this village!
Tang Bugui curled his lips into a smile, but his eyes inadvertently fell on a small figure not far away.
Yang Nuannuan was following not far away. He had just encountered the little girl who almost fell on the way.
He wasn't the type to meddle in other people's business, but when he saw Yang Nuannuan, Tang Bugui couldn't help himself.
The little girl almost fell because she was in such a hurry, so Tang Bugui picked her up.
Yang Nuannuan was startled; the girl's appearance was quite adorable, bearing a resemblance to her own daughter.
He probably thought of his own daughter when he saw Yang Nuannuan!
As he pondered this, a strange look appeared in Tang Bugui's eyes.
Yang Nuannuan, who was not far away, could feel Tang Bugui's gaze. She felt a mix of emotions, but she managed to resist looking over.
Even after all these years, Tang Bugui is still so handsome.
And myself...
She looked down at her body, a look of helplessness on her face.
Tang Bugui only glanced at it twice before looking away; he wasn't a pervert.
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Tang Bugui quickened his pace.
Little Su Bao seemed to sense something, and she subconsciously looked in her father's direction.
It seemed as if a red line flashed by.
But when she tried to take a closer look, she discovered that the red thread was gone.
The little dumpling was eating an egg, its cheeks puffed out, looking incredibly cute.
Tang Bugui looked at her, a smile curving his lips, his eyes deepening with amusement.
The villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the outskirts of the village.
As everyone chatted and laughed, they approached the fields and outcrops in the village.
"Huh..." Tang Sanbao suddenly paused, as if he had seen something out of the corner of his eye.
He immediately stopped and stared intently at the ground.
Tang Sanbao couldn't help but rub his eyes, and after taking another look, he was instantly stunned.
"Grandma, Auntie, Uncle, look at the field!" Tang Sanbao shouted excitedly.
Tang Cheng frowned slightly and subconsciously said, "You're not a child anymore. Look at your aunt, she's younger than you but more mature. She remains calm and composed in the face of any major event..."
Before he could finish the last word, Tang Cheng's eyes widened in surprise.
Not far away, the corn that had only been planted for a few days had already sprouted tender little green shoots!
I'm not even going to say that!
The grass in the field seemed to be growing wildly, even faster than the corn.
Tang Cheng swallowed hard, a strange look in his eyes.
He glanced at Xiao Su Bao, then couldn't help but look at the people beside him.
All of them had read that booklet back then.
It says that corn sprouts quickly, but it shouldn't be this fast!
"My goodness! How come there are so many weeds growing in this grain field? This is insane!" a woman couldn't help but mutter.
"Quickly pull out the weeds! We can't let these things ruin the grain!" Madam Qian's expression changed slightly as she hurriedly shouted.
The villagers, forgetting their earlier fright, rushed off to work in the fields, their hearts filled with anxiety.
Food is the lifeblood of ordinary people. The villagers had all eaten some corn porridge, which was very filling.
Everyone feels sorry for them.
"Let's hurry and go check on our land!" Madam Qian was anxious. They had quite a lot of land to cultivate, including a considerable amount of mountain land, all of which they had purchased.
If it weren't for Xiao Su Bao's insistence, they would have refused at the time.
Qian was incredibly fast, walking as swiftly as the wind, and Tang Cheng was just as fast.
We can't let these weeds steal all the nutrients from the corn.
However, they were stunned for a moment.
In other people's yards, the grass is taller than the corn.
But their land was completely devoid of weeds!
Those corn seedlings grew exceptionally strong.
"Goose, goose, goose..." Butler Bai kept busy with his rabbits and chickens.
If any rabbit tries to eat the corn seedlings, Butler White will rush over instantly, his goose-like beak showing no mercy, pecking the rabbit until it's covered in blood.
There were two small portions of chicken and duck, which Xiao Su Bao recognized; they had brought these back from An County.
Look at them, they look so energetic.
Qian's lips twitched slightly as she suddenly remembered her time in An County.
"Grandma, do we... still need to go pull weeds now?" Tang Sanbao swallowed hard and asked his grandma.
Madam Qian paused, glancing at Xiao Su Bao with a subtle look, already having an idea in mind.
These grasses must be there because of the hot spring water!
Otherwise, even if the land here is really good, it's impossible.
"Let's go home first..." Madam Qian said to everyone.
As for Butler Bai, they don't need to worry about him.
The group returned to the Tang family home. Madam Qian frowned as she looked at the house with the hot spring, then relaxed her brow.
"From now on, you absolutely cannot talk about the hot springs outside. Also, boss, go and say hello to the villagers!"
After Qian finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Su Bao, opened her mouth, but seeing the little dumpling's bewildered look, she didn't say anything in the end.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence...!
With a sense of unease in her heart, Madam Qian added, "Su Bao, don't go out these days. Rest at home for a few more days!"
Qian felt a headache thinking about the situation on the mountain. After all, the mountain was short of water, and what if those wild beasts came to her house because of the smell?
Just thinking about it gives her a headache.
However, the villagers soon came to Qian's house, wanting to rent Butler Bai.
People don't use it for free; those with money give money, and those without money give things.
Madam Qian did not refuse, since it would save them the trouble of cutting grass to feed the steward and the others if they went to the fields to eat grass.
Little Su Bao didn't care about any of that, because of this incident, the little dumpling was ordered to stay at home.
Fortunately, the little guy got used to it, and with Tang Dabao and the others keeping him company, the little dumpling didn't feel bored.
During the day they attend classes, and at night they all do their homework by candlelight.
Fortunately, the smaller ones were only writing large characters.
Little Su Bao is the most well-behaved. Despite being so small, she writes with great skill and precision when holding a calligraphy brush.
At Yunqi's request, Tang Bugui also became the children's martial arts teacher.
A month passed quickly.
In mid-August, the Empress finally finished her postpartum confinement period...
The Empress could have gone out for walks much earlier, and thanks to the hot springs, her health has improved even more.
But the emperor was still worried and insisted on pleading with the empress while crying...
She was crying, and she looked quite pitiful.
The empress was ultimately unharmed, but the people of Tangjia Village developed a new perception of the emperor.
Their emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom is such a good person!
Since the Queen has recovered, they cannot stay here any longer.
After all, the Crown Prince is seriously ill again...
At this moment, under the big peach tree at the village entrance, everyone was reluctantly watching the emperor and his entourage leave.
Tang Bugui will also be leaving for a short period of time this time.
He was worried about the Emperor and Empress returning alone, after all, so many things had happened between them before.
The thought of returning to Beijing dampened everyone's spirits.
"Grandpa Emperor, don't be sad. Come to the village again when you have time!" Little Su Bao was being held by the Emperor, her sweet, childlike voice comforting the person in his arms.
The emperor paused for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "How about you and your grandfather go back to the capital? Your grandfather will have someone prepare an endless supply of delicious food for you. You can have whatever you want, okay?"
Xiao Su Bao was taken aback; she had only been away from the capital for a few months!
But for some reason, she felt like she had been out for a long time.
Little Su Bao shook her head, looking at the Emperor apologetically: "Grandpa Emperor, I'll come back to you when I'm a little older. I... don't want to go back now!"
The emperor paused, pursed his lips, and turned to look at the empress.
The Empress also noticed the look in her husband's eyes, but she did not try to persuade the young girl to go back.
The Empress reached out and scooped the little baby from the Emperor's arms.
Her eyes were crystal clear, and when she looked at Xiao Su Bao, they were filled with loving kindness.
"It's okay, if you like it here, you can stay in the village! You're still young, right now you just need to do what you like, that's enough!"
The Queen was very gentle, and reached out to gently stroke the little baby's hair.
The emperor stared at Tang Bugui with his eyes practically popping out of their sockets, but Tang Bugui kept his eyes down, seemingly oblivious to everything.
Before the emperor left, he asked for a small peach branch that had sprouted from the base of the thousand-year-old peach tree.
He also took some peaches and some of the hot spring water with him.
Hopefully, these will be helpful to the Crown Prince's frail health.
Little Su Bao suddenly remembered something and gave all the pills her master had given her to the Emperor and Empress in one go.
He also gave Tang Bugui some medicine to help him recover. Wang Mingtian had gotten rid of his apprentice's constant crying, so he prepared these things.
"Grandpa, Grandma, you must take good care of yourselves!" Little Su Bao's nose tingled, and her eyes were filled with reluctance as she looked at them.
The empress's eyes also reddened, but she had to do her job in her position!
The villagers looked at the emperor and empress and knelt down in unison to see them off.
They genuinely felt that the Emperor and Empress were very good, and during this period, almost every household in their village earned a considerable amount of money.
It must be because His Majesty saw how poor they were that he helped them.
Their emperor and empress are so wonderful, especially the empress—she's beautiful and kind-hearted…
Little Su Bao seemed to sense something. She raised her eyes and saw faint golden light points flying out from the villagers' bodies and then disappearing into the Empress's brow.
The faint worry that had been lingering in Xiao Su Bao's heart vanished in an instant.
Her brow unfurrowed, and her smile softened.
After the Emperor and Empress left, the little dumpling breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But when the little dumpling's gaze fell on Tang Bugui, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and burst into tears.
Tang Bugui seemed to sense something, and he subconsciously turned around to look at the little girl.
Unfortunately, the little dumpling had already curled up in Qian's arms, and he could only see the back of its head and its little bottom.
Madam Qian was heartbroken and couldn't help but glare at Tang Bugui.
"It's alright, it's alright, Mom is still here, our Su Bao isn't sad anymore!"
Mrs. Qian coaxed him softly, her nose tingling slightly.
Wang Xiuer's belly was now even bigger, and she rarely came out with them. When she saw Xiao Su Bao crying, she immediately said, "Oh dear... oh dear, Su Bao, quick, your second sister-in-law's stomach is a little uncomfortable, please take a look at her!"
She didn't act very convincingly, but Xiao Su Bao didn't know that. She was already feeling sad, but when she heard her second sister-in-law's words, the little dumpling suddenly became nervous.
"Second sister-in-law, don't be afraid, take a deep breath with me!"
As Xiao Su Bao spoke, she quickly got off Qian Shi and took Wang Xiu'er's hand in her little hand.
Surprisingly, Madam Qian did not show any disdain for Wang Xiuer; on the contrary, she seemed slightly relieved.
Wang Xiuer glanced at Qian Shi secretly, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Honey, you broke it, are you alright? Su Bao, quickly hug your sister-in-law and ease her pain!" Tang Qi hurriedly came over from the side.
The little ones all came over to talk to Xiaosubao at almost the same time, afraid that she would be sad or upset.
Lan Feng actually came today, but he stood outside the whole time. He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Su Bao was alright.
However, they still couldn't get out.
He wanted the little dumpling to feel bad when she saw him.
The Lan family is not a good place for Xiao Su Bao.
Lan Feng clenched his fist slightly, then turned and left.
“Magistrate, aren’t you going to see your niece?” This clerk had dealt with Xiao Su Bao before when the epidemic broke out.
The advisor always thought that Xiao Su Bao was a good child, sensible, obedient, and well-behaved.
He didn't understand why Lan Feng was always so careful if he cared about Xiao Su Bao.
The girl doesn't seem like the type to cause trouble!
Lan Feng opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
Does he like Xiao Su Bao?
He didn't like her that much; they hadn't spent any time together, and he didn't know how to get along with Xiao Su Bao.
Knowing about Xiao Su Bao's situation at the Lan family, he felt heartache, but more than that, he felt guilt and responsibility.
He preferred the sweet, affectionate younger sister who called him "little sweetheart," not "Little Su Bao."
If he had known earlier, perhaps he would have taken Xiao Su Bao in and raised her, and he would have been responsible and dutiful regardless of whether he liked her or not.
but……
Now, Xiao Su Bao has a new life, and the little dumpling likes it very much.
He couldn't and didn't want to disturb them, especially since distance made others feel more comfortable than closeness.
"Let's go back!"
Lan Feng shook his head, turned around, and walked towards his horse.
Some things are best left in the past, and not disturbing them is the best outcome.
As if sensing something, Xiao Su Bao turned her head to look, but only saw a blurry figure.
"Su Bao, let's go home!" Watching the carriage disappear around the corner, Madam Qian reached out and took the little dumpling's hand.
Xiao Su Bao withdrew her gaze, her eyes falling on Qian Shi.
She suppressed her disappointment and gave a faint smile.
The little dumpling reached out, one hand holding Qian Shi's hand, and the other holding Wang Xiuer's hand beside her.
Tang Sanbao quietly approached his mother and reached out to try it out, a scene of maternal love and filial piety.
"Get lost, you little brat! Your hands are covered in dirt, trying to pull me down? You're asking for a beating!"
Wang Xiuer cursed and shouted as the group walked towards the village in the morning light.
In the days that followed, the people of Tangjia Village were doing well, but the people outside were becoming increasingly distressed.
When the heavens don't send rain, the people suffer terribly.
Fulin has lost a lot of weight.
He simply left his daughter in Tangjia Village, since Anxian County is much more chaotic than the outside world now.
Fortunately, Zhao Ziyun's waterwheel team continuously brought water from the south.
Although it's a drop in the ocean, it can at least provide some relief to Anxian and Lanxian, the counties most severely affected by the disaster.
Time flies, and September is here in the blink of an eye.
It should have been the day when the rice ripened, but the rice in the south was flooded this year, which is the granary of the Great Shang Kingdom.
In the more northerly regions, drought this year has resulted in a complete crop failure.
The people of the Great Shang Kingdom were living a more difficult life than ever before.
When Tang Cheng returned from the county town, his face looked rather grim.
News came from the emperor that most of the people's taxes had been reduced.
But things aren't that easy to handle.
With food and water shortages, the people were on the verge of starvation.
September is scorching hot. Tangjia Village is still considered relatively good; further out, you can see people fleeing famine everywhere.
For the first time, Ms. Qian felt a little flustered.
"How is it? Have your uncles and the others returned yet?" Madam Qian asked, looking at her son.
Tang Bugui shook his head before speaking: "He didn't come back, but he sent word that he would be back around mid-September."
Ms. Qian frowned deeply, her heart filled with panic.
The villagers had been staying home most of the time, but since they all had relatives outside the village, many of the young wives came to visit Qian.
Everyone has parents; there are no brothers in the family.
During times of famine, everyone naturally wants to help each other out.
But Qian was troubled; how could they possibly help so many people?
Moreover, their grain will be ripe soon!
I don't know if it's because of the hot spring or because the corn has a short ripening period, but it's only September and the tall corn stalks are already covered with long, slender corn kernels.
Although it's not mature yet, many people have secretly taken a look and think it's pretty good.
The Qian family planted even more varieties, especially on their barren hillside, where they grew not only corn but also a considerable amount of potatoes.
They irrigated the area with hot spring water, and now the entire barren mountain is lush and green.
If disaster victims saw this scene...
Ms. Qian rubbed her temples; she felt unwell.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao and her friends came home from school.
Because it's so hot, they've been going to class in the late afternoon and coming back after dark.
When Qian saw Xiao Su Bao, her eyes lit up slightly.
"Su Bao, what did you learn today?" Madam Qian asked, putting aside her worries and looking at little Su Bao.
The little dumpling's cheeks were flushed, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of its nose.
"Today, the teacher taught us the last few lines of the Thousand Character Classic and also told us a story!"
Xiao Su Bao said happily that being able to go to and from school every day is a wonderful life she never dared to dream of before.
She's destined to become prime minister!
Tang Sanbao and the others chimed in with their chatter.
"Alright, everyone go wash your faces first, dinner will be served shortly!"
Mrs. Qian shooed the little ones away before finally letting out a slight sigh of relief.
This summer is so unbearable!
"Sis, sis, look what I brought you!"
Just then, a familiar voice came from the doorway.
Ms. Qian was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked out.
Then they saw Qian Manman pulling a horse-drawn carriage in.
"What did you bring with you on such a hot day?"
Ms. Qian came out and led Qian Manman to a shady spot.
Qian Manman got quite tanned, but she looked much more energetic.
Ever since that incident, Qian Manman has been extremely cautious, always taking a large group of people with her when she goes out. And this time, she's brought even more people...
Ms. Qian suddenly paused, her eyes slightly moist.
She was somewhat incredulous, opened her mouth, then couldn't help but purse it.
"Duo'er..." Qian Wangwang's voice trembled. He wanted to come over, but he was worried that his daughter would be angry.
"Qian Wangwang, you're not dead, so why didn't you come back to find me!"
Qian felt a lump in her throat and rushed to Qian Wangwang.
Little Su Bao and the three Tang family members hurriedly crawled out of the house, and all the little ones couldn't help but look at Qian Shi.
Especially Xiao Su Bao, she scanned Qian Shi and Qian Wangwang and saw the thread that represented kinship on them. It was a very thick and bright thread.
Xiao Su Bao's eyes immediately showed more affection when she looked at Qian Wang Wang.
They look like good people!
but……
When Xiao Su Bao saw Qian Wang Wang's face, she frowned slightly.
Qian Wangwang's appearance is not good; his fate is very bumpy, and he is destined for disaster...
According to my master, this must be the fate of being plagued by villains!
Little Su Bao looked around carefully, completely unaware that Qian Manman had already walked up to her.
"Su Bao, your cousin Man brought you roast chicken, roast duck, tofu pudding, and..."
Qian Manman knew that she was saved because of Xiao Su Bao, so she loved her cousin from the bottom of her heart.
Little Su Bao was stunned for a moment before turning around.
She looked at Qian Manman and, seeing that he looked alright, subconsciously asked, "Cousin Man, did you make some money?"
Qian Manman was taken aback for a moment, then scratched her head and said, "Well, I made some money, all thanks to my cousin!"
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up; she felt that her face reading skills were actually quite accurate.
Just then, a rough voice rang out: "Little sister, I've missed you so much!"
Qian Chaoduo looked longingly at his sister.
He had been waiting for a long time, but his father wouldn't let go of his sister, preventing him from squeezing in.
Qian looked at the person behind her, and tears immediately streamed down her face.
It's my older brother, he's incredibly rich.
It's been so many years since I last saw Qian Chaoduo, and he looks much older now, with all his hair turned white.
The wrinkles around her eyes are more numerous than those of her own father.
"Big brother!" Qian Duoduo looked at her older brother, her eyes showing a strange look.
Her father used to be so busy with the village that he was always on the go, and she was practically raised by her older brother.
But then her older brother disappeared, and she thought she would never see him again in her life.
Qian Chaoduo was at a loss when he saw his younger sister crying. Despite his age, he was still very scared.
Qian Lailai, who was standing to the side, sighed and turned to look at Qian Manman.
That brat! He was right here, but he insisted on waiting for his older brother and father to come before bringing them over.
Thinking about this, Qian Lailai felt a deep resentment in her heart!
"Sister, brother, shall we... go inside and talk?" Qian Lailai asked somewhat helplessly.
Qian wiped away her tears and nodded immediately.
"That's right, Dad, Big Brother, Little Brother, come on, let's go inside and talk!"
Madam Qian led everyone back to the main hall.
"Huh, why are there so many ice blocks here!"
Mrs. Qian remembered that her family had wanted to buy ice, but unfortunately they couldn't find any!
Ice cubes can cool you down, they're edible, and they can be used as water after they melt.
"This is something your older brother insisted on bringing back last year!"
Qian Wangwang said with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the younger generation.
Qian Wangwang had heard about the Tang family's affairs. Thinking of his daughter's ordeal, he wished he could dig up Tang Laoda's grave and whip his corpse.
He died so young, didn't he think about his wife and children?
The Qian family is so pitiful; I wonder how much suffering they've endured!
Thinking of this, Qian Wangwang felt even more sorry for his daughter.
"You all come over here to your great-grandfather!"
Qian Wangwang waved to Xiao Subao and the others, and then took out a lot of red envelopes from his pocket.
Tang Dabao glanced at his younger brothers, and finally looked at Qian Shi.
With a smile on her face, Madam Qian said, "Yes, go over and let your maternal grandfather and great-grandfather take a look!"
Little Su Bao was a bit uneasy, and had a natural fear of the word "grandfather".
As if sensing something, Ms. Qian walked over and took Xiao Su Bao and Tang Da Bao's hands.
"Dad, eldest brother, little brother, this is my daughter, this is my eldest grandson, Tang Dabao, second grandson Tang Erbao, and third grandson Tang Sanbao."
After finishing her sentence, Madam Qian added, "I have four sons, but they are not home right now."
The eldest son went to the village, the second son went hunting in the mountains, the third and fourth sons stayed at the village school next door, and the eldest and second sons got married.
The third and fourth children aren't here yet, but there's no rush; we'll see how things unfold!
Hearing about this large family, Qian Wangwang felt even more distressed.
The Qian family must have had a very hard time in the past!
Tears streamed down his face; if it weren't for the younger generation present, he would have burst into tears.
If I had known, I would have been better off marrying my daughter to my third apprentice!
That guy is good-looking and treats his daughter well.
What a pity...
"Good child, all good children. Here, this is a gift from Grandpa to Little Su Bao. Thank you, Little Su Bao, for saving your mother and these little brats of the Tang family!"
Qian Wangwang handed a thick red envelope to Xiao Su Bao.
The little dumpling was startled and instinctively turned its head to look at Qian Shi.
Mrs. Qian nodded at the little dumpling.
Only then did Xiao Su Bao dare to take it.
Her well-behaved and obedient appearance made Qian Wangwang like her instantly.
My daughter was just this cute when she was little!
"Su Bao, this is a red envelope from your uncle!" Qian Chaoduo also pulled one out of his pocket, which was no smaller than his own father's.
The third brother looked at his father and eldest brother, and his lips twitched. So he's the only one who's poor, huh?
He was almost too embarrassed to take out the red envelope he had prepared.
With a final grit of his teeth, he turned around and placed a piece of jadeite rough he had acquired a few days earlier inside.
It's all this thing's fault; it took up most of my wealth!
"This is a gift from your third uncle!" Qian Lailai said with a simple and honest smile.
To be honest, the two Qian brothers are quite good-looking, especially Qian Lailai, who bears a five or six-point resemblance to Tang Shan.
Qian Chaoduo, on the other hand, is more similar to Tang Cheng.
Both sides of her face are well-proportioned and good-looking.
"You're Da Bao, this is a little gift from your great-grandfather!" Qian Wangwang's red envelope was much more normal this time.
The main point is that boys should be raised frugally, otherwise what if they become spendthrifts later in life?
However, these great-grandchildren look quite good.
At least after they had treated them differently, they weren't angry; instead, they all felt it was the right thing to do.
The affection in Qian Wangwang's eyes grew stronger.
"Yes, you are all good children!"
Looking at the red envelopes from her father and brothers, Mrs. Qian was momentarily speechless.
"Big brother, little brother, don't be so... We have some savings now, don't go back and argue with your wife and sister-in-law over this!"
“My mother isn’t the type to get angry easily. If she weren’t still in her postpartum period, she definitely would have come over!”
Qian Manman immediately spoke up from the side.
Mrs. Qian was taken aback. She looked at Qian Manman and thought, "This kid must be seventeen or eighteen by now!"
Big brother is amazing!
While everyone was talking, no one noticed Xiao Su Bao's current state.
The little girl stood to the side, her small hands tightly clutching three red envelopes.
This was the first time in her life she had received red envelopes from her maternal grandfather and uncle!
Little Su Bao pursed her lips, the corners of her lips slowly turned up, and finally she grinned, revealing a bright smile.
She was very happy, really happy.
"Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Uncle! Thank you, Uncle!" the little dumpling suddenly shouted to the three of them.
"Oh my, this little girl has such a good aura!" Qian Wangwang clutched his chest, his eyes glistening with moisture.
“That’s right, she looks exactly like my little sister when she was little!” Qian Chaoduo’s smile was strange, and his eyes looked at Qian Shi with a hint of amusement.
Qian coughed lightly, about to speak, when she saw Tang Dabao and the others suddenly make a move.
The three of them rushed to Xiao Su Bao's side.
"Auntie, this is a gift for you!" Tang Dabao was the first to speak, his eyes filled with affection.
"Auntie, this is mine. I'll give you all my red envelopes from now on!"
Tang Erbao pursed his lips, but his smile deepened as well.
Tang Sanbao simply said, "Take it!"
Little Su Bao was stunned. Looking at all the red envelopes in her hand, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
She subconsciously looked at Qian Chaoduo's maternal grandfather and the others.
But the next moment, the little dumpling's eyes widened.
My grandfather, who should have been plagued by villains, miraculously escaped misfortune and encountered a benefactor.
Not only that, but my grandfather's previously somewhat bitter expression softened, and when he smiled now, he looked even more kind.
The mistakes I made when I was young seem to have been swallowed up by something.
For a moment, Xiao Su Bao didn't know what to say.
She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything.
My master said that one should not casually tell fortunes, as it would shorten one's lifespan.
But she only glanced at it secretly, so it should be... okay!
The little dumpling really liked the people in front of her, even though this grandfather wasn't as good-looking as the Lan family's grandfather, and he had a scar on his face and was blind.
But for some reason, the little dumpling was very close to them.
As if she had thought of something, Ms. Qian turned to the children and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"
The four little ones, who were just happy a moment ago, ran away in an instant.
Even Xiao Su Bao, who was always pampered by the Qian family, was the same, and even ran a little faster than some of her nephews.
Her mother is good, but if they don't do their homework, she really will beat them!
Thinking about the spanking she had received before, Xiao Su Bao ran even faster.
Qian's smile broadened slightly after they left.
"Duo'er, have you been having a good time these past few days?"
Qian Wangwang looked at the Qian family and asked in a slightly trembling voice.
Mrs. Qian thought about it; she was happy during her honeymoon, and she was happy after having several sons...
But he's dead!
Even though she's been dead for so many years, she always feels like that guy is still by her side.
Once, Ms. Qian had a fever and felt like she was about to die.
That time, she even felt that guy was already beside her...
After thinking about those things, Ms. Qian finally said, "There were happy moments and unhappy moments, but overall, I'm fine!"
Qian Wangwang opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't.
He took out a sandalwood box and handed it to Ms. Qian.
Madam Qian didn't stand on ceremony; she knew that Old Man Qian would only feel at ease if she accepted the gifts.
"This is the dowry I prepared for you, and also the things I've given you over the years, although it's not much..." Qian Wangwang's smile was full of excitement and joy.
Qian was somewhat speechless, but ultimately said nothing.
She opened the box, and on top of it were silver notes...
A dozen...
"Take a look, the first layer is silver notes. Your family has a lot of people and expenses, so these silver notes are universal and can be exchanged for money anywhere. Most of them are mine, and a small portion belong to your two brothers!"
As Qian looked at it, the smile in her eyes grew even wider.
"The second layer is gold leaves...the third layer is..."
As Ms. Qian watched, her nose began to sting with tears.
"Daughter, don't cry. If you cry, Daddy will want to cry too!"
Qian Wangwang was instantly at a loss.
