The key point is that thugs all avoid her. Before, some fools tried to rob Zhang Mama, and Zhang Mama slapped them one by one, knocking out several of their teeth. Later, she heard from the old lady who sells sesame cakes that one thug was even deafened by Zhang Mama's slaps.
Er Ya was there when Zhang's mother showed off how to slap a small cabbage with one slap that day.
From then on, Er Ya regarded Zhang Mama as a role model for her growth.
If you ask her, "What kind of person do you want to be when you grow up?"
She'll definitely say, "I want to be like Aunt Zhang when I grow up!"
So Er Ya's personality is somewhat similar to that of her role model; she's a bit headstrong.
"Yes! I'll catch one for you."
Er Ya pulled a piglet she'd just bought yesterday out of the pigpen, took the teacup from Xiao Ya Dan's hand, and poured it into the pig's mouth.
"Would you like anything else to feed me, sis?"
Huo Xiaolong looked at the decisive and efficient Er Ya and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Wow, what a talent! That execution, that drive, that comprehension! In my past life, she would have reported this to her superior and been poached to work under her.
"Without Er Ya, could you please separate them for me? I still need to feed them tomorrow."
"Okay! If you have nothing else to do, go back to sleep. I'm done getting you ready to go back to work. Do you want me to carry you back?"
"No need, it's just a short walk."
Huo Xiaolong was still a child, and his soft, sweet voice, coupled with his thick Northeastern accent, gave him a unique kind of cuteness.

Just two streets away in Hualiu Lane is where Xiaoniu's biological parents live.
The family had two brick houses, with a few drafts in the roof. A stove burned inside, barely keeping out the cold. The couple lived in one room, and their son lived in the other. They hadn't planned to stay there permanently. Once their eldest son returned from the caravan he had been with, and with the money the couple had earned, they would save up enough for the journey and continue north to find their daughter.
As a result, when He Yi went to deliver clothes today, she saw Huo Xiaolong buying candied hawthorns, which led to the events that happened this afternoon.
"Ayi, how much money do you have at home?"
"We traveled all the way, spending a total of seven taels, and we have twenty-eight taels left."
This much money is enough for them to settle down in the border town, but they can't bear to part with it just to find their daughter.
The family of three wanted to save as much money as possible. They had been living a life of hardship for the past year, sleeping outdoors as long as they had the money to keep searching. If they couldn't find it in a year, they would search for two years, and if they still couldn't find it in two years, they would keep searching.
"When Cheng'er returns, he should be able to bring back a few taels of silver."
Although He Yi was prone to tears, she was an expert at accounting. Before, when her family lived in Jiangnan, her husband would go to various villages every day to sell food and daily necessities, earning a few taels of silver a year. He Yi meticulously calculated every expense, ensuring that there were no mistakes in purchasing and selling goods, allowing them to make a living and accumulate so much money.
"We can't rely on Cheng'er all the time. I'll go out tomorrow and see if there are any mountains around."
He Yi suddenly looked up and said
"You have hidden injuries! Do you want me to be a widow right after I've just found my daughter?"
Huo Shuwen had never been afraid of anything in his life. He was not afraid of death when he was a bodyguard, nor was he afraid of being bossed around by people in high positions. The only thing he was afraid of was his wife crying.
He pulled the woman into his arms and said...
"I can't bear to see Miss become a widow. Don't worry, I'll just stay on the periphery and keep an eye on things. I haven't had enough of my current life yet, and I will definitely return safely."
The room was a bit warm, and the candle went out with a "poof," ending a night of passion.
No matter how fiercely the wind blows outside, it only ravages the night.
