Chapter 113 I Won’t Sell
"Sister Yueya, don't be angry. Juanjuan likes you the most, beautiful aunt and uncle Qiuqiu." Juanjuan ran over and hugged her.
Liu Yueya was stunned. She looked down at the person holding her waist and stretched out her hand to rub her little face: "When will you grow taller?"
The curly little eyebrows were wrinkled, and the little face was wrinkled into a small bun.
Lin Jingqiu came to pick up Liu Yueya and was also invited by Old Madam Si. She was a little surprised: "Old Madam is willing to invite us to celebrate the New Year?"
"What you said, are you some kind of scary things?" Old Madam Si looked at her with a smile.
"Go back and tell Cheng'an that you can come to my house to celebrate the New Year this year. There are many rooms in the Governor's Mansion, and you have a place to stay." She took Lin Jingqiu's hand and invited him.
"I'll go back and ask. This guy can be very stubborn sometimes." Lin Jingqiu knew that the Si family treated them sincerely.
"Okay, okay." Madam Si watched them get into the car before looking at the three children behind her: "Let's go out to eat today and buy some New Year's goods."
Juanjuan hugged her legs and said, "Grandma, can we go out and play again?"
"Sure. We have a lot of eggs at home. Do you want to sell them?" Old Madam Si pinched her little face.
"Great! Juanjuan loves selling eggs the most." Juanjuan cheered and ran to find Si Jinchen and Ma Yang.
Mother Wu found all the eggs stored at home. Since it had been a long time since the last storage, she had saved quite a few eggs.
Everyone was holding a basket in their hands, and the number was really spectacular.
After changing into ordinary clothes, a group of people went out with Songsongruanruan.
Ruanruan was very happy. If the housekeeper hadn't held her back, she would have run away.
When they arrived at the market, the old lady still let the three children sell eggs by themselves, while they waited in the corner.
"Xiaoyang, just watch and let Achen and Juanjuan sell them themselves." Old Madam Si also specifically instructed Mayang.
Ma Yang nodded, pulled Songsongruanruan and squatted beside them.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen were both familiar with the place, so they started shouting at the top of their voices after putting the things in place.
"Eggs for sale! Fragrant eggs that can hatch eggs from chickens and hens!" Juanjuan's little voice was soft and sweet, but very penetrating.
Soon they attracted the attention of people who wanted to buy eggs in the market.
"Oh! I've been looking for you for a long time." An aunt squeezed out from the crowd.
Juanjuan blinked her big eyes and tilted her head to think for a moment: "Did the eggs at Auntie's house hatch into chicks?"
"They've hatched, they've hatched, not a single one is missing, and they're growing strong and healthy. The neighbors saw them and wanted me to buy some for them."
"I've been looking for you for a long time. Finally you are out selling eggs again." The aunt's face was full of smiles.
She had never seen eggs that were so easy to hatch, and the chicks were very strong.
"Auntie, do you want to buy some eggs?" Juanjuan squatted on the ground and looked at the person in front of him.
"I want to buy twenty this time. Can you help me choose?" Aunt looked at her with a smile.
"Okay!" Juanjuan took out eggs from the bamboo basket with her little hands, muttering, "Hatch them quickly and grow up healthy!"
The smile on my aunt's face became even brighter. This child's words always make people happy.
Those who wanted to buy eggs gathered around curiously: "Are the eggs from these two children really that good?"
"Sure! I bought a few last time and told myself I could try to see if they could hatch. They all hatched, and not a single one was bad."
"I also made some egg custard for the children. It was very fragrant and delicious." The aunt worked hard to promote it to the two children.
"You are not a stooge they hired, are you?" Some people felt it was a bit exaggerated.
"If you don't believe it, you don't have to buy it. The child is not begging you to buy it." Auntie got angry when she heard this.
The person who was looking for trouble just now turned around and left when he heard this.
Si Jinchen took the money from her aunt and handed her the basket: "Aunt, these are your eggs, please count them."
"No, no," she said, picking up the basket and leaving.
Gradually, many people came to buy eggs. Some bought them to eat, while others bought them to see if they could hatch chicks.
Before the market was over, all the eggs in their baskets were sold.
"Little guys, are you selling these two dogs?" A man came over and looked at Songsong and Ruanruan.
"Woof woof woof. What a bullshit dream!" He bared his teeth in anger.
"Woof woof woof. I won't sell myself. I belong to the little master." Ruanruan turned her head away and didn't look at him.
Juanjuan stretched out her little hands and hugged the two dogs: "Uncle, Songsongruanruan is family, I won't sell them!"
"Oh, I see! I was thinking about buying them because they looked so good." The man walked away with a look of regret on his face.
The three children packed up their baskets and ran to find Old Madam Si.
"Grandma, we have sold out!" Juanjuan hugged her with a smile.
Madam Si smiled and patted their heads: "Great, then we will use the money you earn today to buy the things you like."
"Wow! Grandma is the best." Juanjuan smiled with her eyes and eyebrows curved.
"Let's go, let's see if there's anything you like in the market." Old Madam Si said as she took the hands of the two children and walked forward.
"You silly girl, it's your blessing that I like you, and you still dare to run away." The man grabbed the girl and started beating her.
The girl struggled and fell to the ground: "No, Dad, I am your daughter, I beg you to spare me!"
"Bah! If I hadn't taken you and your daughter in, you would have starved to death. Now that your mother is dead, isn't it your job to serve me?"
"Are you still thinking of letting me support you for nothing?"
"Dad, I am your daughter, please let me go!" The girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
There were many onlookers around, but no one came forward to say a word for her.
"Grandma, it's the young lady selling softies." Juanjuan looked through the gap in the crowd.
Madam Si still remembered that girl, a very kind girl: "Housekeeper, go and take a look."
The butler nodded, squeezed into the crowd, learned some of the situation, and walked out again.
He looked at the three children and didn't know how to start.
"Speak!" Madam Si had no intention of hiding anything.
"This girl's mother married this man five years ago. Her father died before that, so she had to find someone else to marry in order to make a living. She wanted to have someone to rely on."
"But this man beats people when he drinks, and..." The butler looked at Juanjuan's curious big eyes and couldn't continue.
Madam Si touched Juanjuan's head and said, "Tell me, we can't protect these children forever."
The housekeeper sighed, "This man is also very lustful. He often peeks at this girl bathing. She was almost defiled by him a few times. Her mother tried her best to protect her, but she was beaten to death by this man a few days ago."
