Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Little Money-Grubber's Treasure



The cameraman following Tang Wan and Gou Xi immediately spotted the danger behind the two little ones.

Just as he was about to put down the camera, he saw Gou Xi, who was standing next to Tang Wan, pick up a wooden stick and stick it into the snake that had been following them for who knows how long.

Cameraman: ...

The cameraman's eyes lit up; he realized that the kid in front of him was a real talent!

If the situation weren't so awkward, he would have called his squad leader to come and see this kid who was born to do their job.

If we don't recruit them, the squad leader will definitely lose a fortune!

However, when his gaze fell on another child, he shook his head with some regret.

What a pity.

This kid has strong observation and insight skills, and can even remain calm in extreme environments. He's a promising talent, and with proper training, he could probably become the second outstanding warrior.

However, her body was really too weak.

With such a fragile body, she probably wouldn't survive if the training were too strenuous.

That's such a pity.

If her body hadn't suffered so much damage, she would probably have ended up like Gou Xi.

He was a born warrior, a child like a little sun.

In just a few hours, this girl named Tang Wan looked at him with worried eyes more than once, as if she was concerned that he would be tired.

Thinking of this, the cameraman sniffed, his heart softening as he thought, "What a good child."

Tang Wan was unaware of the many thoughts that flashed through the mind of the cameraman beside her. She only vaguely recalled some fragments of memories when Gou Xi took out a wooden stick and stabbed the snake.

It was still just a blurry figure.

Tang Wan couldn't see her face clearly, but she knew that the woman picked her up with her calloused hands, rubbed her face against hers, and said something that Tang Wan couldn't quite understand.

It's like the tinnitus you experience when passing through a tunnel. When other people's voices reach your mind, it's as if there's an unreachable membrane between you and mountains or seas, making it hard to hear clearly.

Ke Tangwan wanted to hear it.

She wanted to see that figure's face, and she wanted to hear her voice.

But her memory is shrouded in a sad black veil, making everything unclear.

She knew perfectly well that she had previously lived in deception and lies, a paradise for liars, a city of fraud.

Subtle memories overshadow reality; beneath the heavy flowers lies a pervasive and cruel truth.

Tang Wan's expression wasn't very good; perhaps whenever she thought about the past, she wouldn't be happy.

Meanwhile, Gou Xi picked up the still-struggling snake and said excitedly, "Hehe! Tangtang, we can have an extra meal tonight!"

"no!"

Tang Wan naturally couldn't speak; the only one who could speak was the cameraman standing behind them.

Tang Wan's gaze fell on the cameraman, watching him grab the snake that Gou Xi had picked up and then throw it far away, all the while saying, "Why are you so naughty, kid? Is that a snake you can hold and play with? Even if it's not poisonous, doesn't it hurt if it bites you?"

Gou Xi was stunned by his machine-gun-like barrage of words. In the end, she could only pout and turn her head away unwillingly, looking very unhappy.

Tang Wan reached out and patted her back, signaling Gou Xi to put on the small basket with her and get ready to go back.

Fortunately, that's just how Gou Xi is; her temper flares up quickly but also subsides just as fast.

Seeing the little baskets full of fruit made me happy again.

The sense of accomplishment from mushroom picking comes from the increasing number of mushrooms and the surprises the mountains offer.

You never know whether you'll find poisonous mushrooms or edible mushrooms under fallen leaves.

Just like you never know whether the next second will bring an accident or a surprise.

When Gou Xi and Tang Wan returned to the house, they found the atmosphere inside to be a bit strange.

Su Jiajia was crying, while Lu Lin's expression was rather unpleasant.

Even the kind-hearted Li Yu looked a little embarrassed.

Director Li waved to his son, telling him not to stand next to Su Jiajia, as this was no small matter.

After thinking it over, Li Yu decided not to leave Su Jiajia's side.

She would be so pitiful if everyone stood on the opposite side of her.

Tang Wan held the hemp rope strap of the small basket in both hands, looking at the living room with a somewhat blank expression, as if asking—what's wrong?

Lu Lin waved to Tang Wan, took the small basket from her, and then naturally took out a handkerchief to wipe Tang Wan's paws clean.

He said, "Out picking mushrooms again?"

Tang Wan nodded, and then saw Lu Lin take out the large Ganoderma lucidum from his small basket, turn it in his hand, and speak in a manner that was particularly like that of a noble and playful young master from ancient times.

"We're lucky to have such a beautiful Ganoderma lucidum."

Before Tang Wan could sign that it was a gift from Gou Xi, Su Jiajia suddenly rushed in front of her, grabbed her hand, and said excitedly, "Wanwan, you're the best! You'll help me, right?"

Tang Wan tilted her head in surprise, looking at Su Jiajia who was holding her hand, and subconsciously tried to pull her hand back.

However, Su Jiajia pulled Tang Wan even tighter.

Her tears flowed freely as if they were worthless, and she kept saying, "Waaah, I accidentally cut the flowers that the landlord was growing, and she wants us to pay her five thousand."

Tang Wan was slightly taken aback when she heard the number, but when she looked up, she noticed the indifference in Su Jiajia's eyes.

She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back and get away from Su Jiajia.

Yes.

Su Jiajia is different from me.

She has a mother, and her mother gives her money.

Of course, she can look down on five thousand yuan, or she can be indifferent to it.

But for Tang Wan, who was in the orphanage back then, let alone five thousand, even five yuan or fifty cents would be taken away.

She couldn't buy a single piece of candy, nor could she own a single flower in this city of flowers.

And now, the gift she just received from her friend is being openly schemed against by Su Jiajia.

Tang Wan is kind and insightful, but not foolish.

She also has things she cares about.

So Tang Wan pulled her hand away, shook her head repeatedly, and excitedly exclaimed, "Ah!"

The sign language was so fast, it looked like hand seals, and there were even afterimages!

[No, this Ganoderma lucidum was a gift from Xixi.]

[That was your mistake, and you should have the courage to take responsibility for it yourself, instead of expecting me to do it for you.]

Tang Wan's expression was more serious than ever before. She snatched the Ganoderma lucidum from Lu Lin's hand and hid it away.

Her movements were nimble, like a little miser carefully putting away her treasures.

Somewhat cute.
