"Okay, five taels is five taels."
When Daya saw the man really stand up and leave, she called him back with a bleeding heart.
"I'll listen to you, Fan Tiancheng. You're such a nuisance. Hurry up and eat, then we'll be on our way."
Fan Tiancheng glared at her unhappily.
"Why are you rushing me? Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?"
"I won't take you with me even if I reincarnate. I won't look for a man like you in my next life. You can't get anything out of a stick."
"Do you think I'm even that interested in you? You're always chattering, trying to take advantage of others. I'm afraid I'll be damned if I live with you..."
“…”
Fan Tiancheng and Daya were bickering with each other, and Daya's mother threw down her chopsticks in annoyance.
"It's so annoying to hear you quarrel all day long. Go away, go away, don't get in my way."
The two children sitting at the table eating shut their mouths in fear. Daya snorted at Fan Tiancheng, who was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat, and stood up and yelled,
"Didn't you hear mother urging us to leave quickly? What are you eating? Let's go quickly."
After saying this, she turned her head and looked at An An who was sitting at the door of the woodshed.
"Xiaohong, when we're not home, this house is handed over to you. You have to take good care of your brothers and sisters and grandma, understand?"
Xiaohong pursed her lips and nodded timidly.
"knew……"
"Don't run around. There are wild beasts around this village. They will eat you up without leaving a single bone."
When he heard about the wild beast, An An shuddered, bit his lips tightly with his teeth, and nodded with his eyes wide open.
Daya pointed at the table again.
"Clean up the dishes and chopsticks later. When your brothers and sisters get home from school at noon, you must prepare the meal on time. If you dare to let them go hungry, you will be in trouble."
Seeing that she was still scaring An An, Dayaniang knocked on the table in displeasure.
"If we don't leave now, the sun will set."
Daya then realized that it was time to go on the road. She quickly straightened her clothes and walked towards the door, muttering,
"Let's go back to the city and buy some cloth to make two new sets of clothes. I haven't made clothes in years."
Fan Tiancheng pulled the carriage and curled his lips.
"It's really a poor man trying to cheat the rich. He has a couple of dirty coins and he doesn't know how to show off."
"Who are you talking about? Name another one."
"Tell me what's wrong with you. Get in the car quickly. It's going to be dark soon."
“…”
The man and woman drove away in the carriage amidst some chattering, and the yard suddenly became much quieter.
Grandma waved to An An,
"Girl, come to grandma."
Grandma knew that Xiaohong was not An An's name, so she was not used to calling her by her name. She also knew that Xiaohong liked to call her grandma, so she did not force her to call her grandma like the other two children.
"Grandma, I'm done eating."
"Grandma, I'm done eating too."
The other two children put down their chopsticks, looked at Xiaohong, and stuck their noses out at her.
"You come and clean up the dishes!"
Grandma frowned and urged unhappily,
"Hurry up and go to school after you've eaten. If you're late, the teacher will spank you."
Upon hearing this, the two children hurried back to the house to get their schoolbags, said hello to their grandmother, and ran to the school together.
Only grandma and An'an were left here. An'an came to the table quickly.
"Grandma, take a break. Let me clean up the dishes!"
"Need not."
Grandma waved her hand and said, "Girl, come here."
An An hurried to her side. She looked at her, and a hint of redness appeared in her turbid eyes.
"Girl, grandma knows you don't belong here. Do you know where your home is? If you knew, grandma would take you home right now."
An An pondered for a while and shook her head vigorously. Although her grandmother was kind to her, she could not reveal her identity. If her identity was exposed one day, she would be in danger.
Grandma sighed and stood up from the wooden bench.
"You go play for a while, I'll clean up."
"Grandma, let me do it."
"No need, you're still young, you've never done this kind of work before. And judging by your delicate skin and tender flesh, you must be a young lady from some family, but you don't even remember who you are. You're such a miserable person!"
After hearing what grandma said, An An suddenly knelt on the ground and looked at her crying.
"Grandma, although I don't know whose child I am, I know my last name is not Ni, and my name is not Ni Xiaohong. Grandma, please let me go and let me find my family."
Grandma's body trembled. She put down the bowl in her hand and went forward to help An An up.
"Child, grandma doesn't want to lock you up, but you're too young. If you run out on your own and encounter bad people, what will you do? You should stay here first. When you remember who your family is, grandma will send you away, okay?"
An An stared with tears in her eyes and shook her head.
"Grandma, I know you mean well, but I can't stay here any longer. My home is in the capital. As long as I go back to the capital, I will be able to find my family. Don't worry, I will be fine."
Grandma sighed, raised her hand to tidy An An's hair, and said distressedly:
"Grandma can let you go, but...but grandma is afraid that you will be in danger. You are so young!"
Seeing that grandma had given in, An An quickly took advantage of the situation and continued to plead:
"Grandma, I'm fine. I can run fast, and the bad guys can't catch me. And... and as soon as I get to the capital and go to the government office to investigate, they'll find out whose lost child I am. Please have mercy and let me go!"
Grandma looked at An An, and her pitiful eyes made her sigh angrily.
"You wait..."
After saying this, she turned around and walked into the house step by step.
