The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 203 Mission Successfully Completed
The group looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Cai Niu opened his mouth, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "So, people actually sell their own children?"

Cai Niu doesn't usually inquire about other things, so naturally he didn't know that not only are there people selling their own children, but there are also people who use their children to exchange for meat.

On the contrary, Wang Erlang glanced at Xiao Ayu and thought of Shanyang Village, where they came to their village to snatch children.

The adults all say that the people in that village are heartless and have eaten many of their own children.

He had only heard about it from others; adults didn't want their children to know the specifics.

The little girl twitched her lips, her face expressionless, and her tone flat: "So what? Several of my sisters sold themselves."

"You only have sisters?" Cai Niu asked the question subconsciously.

“There are two younger brothers—who would sell their younger brothers?” the little girl laughed.

Everyone was speechless again.

Wang Wulang whispered, "If our family were to sell a child, we'd probably have to sell all the dolls before Grandma could bear to sell little Ayu."

They only have this one girl in their family!

It was quite a struggle to find it.

It's so precious!

The other children in the Wang family thought the same thing.

When people asked the little girl her name, she blinked and rattled off several names in one breath.

"You brat, you dead girl, you heartless wretch, you good-for-nothing, you piece of trash, you money-loser, you whore... there are quite a few, call whichever you like."

The little girl looked indifferent and then looked at Xiao Ayu: "Oh, I heard that rich girls give names to their servants after they buy them. You can give me a name too, little master."

Everyone: "..."

Little Ayu looked bewildered: "Is 'Little Master' also your name?"

Little girl: "No, it's yours."

“But my name is Ayu, you can also call me Bao, or Guaiguai.” As for her formal name, little Ayu had only heard it once when she enrolled at the private school, and hadn’t bothered to remember it.

“Little Master Ayu.” The little girl readily complied.

Wang Dalang coughed, covering his mouth, "It's almost time for you to go to school. You'd better hurry up and go to school. I'll take this—um, this little sister—to Grandma to see."

They don't have the authority to decide whether or not to take in the little girl.

That's what everyone thinks too.

Cai Niu also breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully he didn't need to make a decision.

Wang Erlang took his younger brothers to Qingmu Academy, while Xiao Ayu went with Wang Liulang to Yang Family Private School.

On the way, little Ayu asked Wang Liulang, "Sixth Brother, will Grandma keep that older sister?"

Wang Liulang shook his head: "I have no idea. Who can guess what Grandma is thinking?"

"Grandma's thoughts are easy to guess. Because Grandma is a good person, she will definitely keep my sister!"

Wang Liulang muttered, "Grandma already said that our family won't hire servants."

Actually, Xiao Ayu wanted to ask, what is a servant?

Are they people living downstream?

There was also an uncle named Qian Deyi, whom everyone called Zhongren. His family lived in the middle reaches of the river.

Those who live upstream, shall we call them "upper-level people"?
Before Xiao Ayu could even speak, they had already arrived at the private school, where a group of children were waving at them.

"Ayu, you're here! Class is about to start, come on, let's go to school together!"

"My mother made me some pastries at noon today, and I brought some over. Ah Yu, you can try some."

Little Ayu touched her pocket, looking troubled: "But I've finished eating all my fruit, so I have nothing to give you."

"It's alright, I just wanted to give you some to eat, you don't need to return the favor." The little girl handed the pastry in her hand to Xiao Ayu, and then took out a handkerchief from her waist to wipe the sweat from Xiao Ayu's forehead.

"You came all this way again today, didn't you? You're all sweaty." Little Ayu chuckled.

I chatted with Wang Liulang for a while on the way, which took up some time, so I ran over here.

"Liu'er, you're so kind!"

Hearing Xiao Ayu's words, Yang Liu chuckled and said, "We're good friends!"

Yang Liu is a girl adopted by Mr. Yang. She is 5 years old this year. She was originally not very healthy and should not have been able to come out.

For some reason, things gradually got better over this period of time, and I started to go out and about.

They naturally didn't know that this was largely due to the fruit that Xiao Ayu usually gave them.

Most of the fruits Xiao Ayu gave her were good for her health. Seeing that Liu'er was out of breath after talking for a while, she gave her even better fruits under Tuanzi's guidance.

I didn't dare give her the Wanling Water directly, for fear that Liu'er wouldn't be able to handle it.

It was fate, really. Liu'er was one of only two girls in the private school. There were other girls in the neighborhood, but she didn't like playing with other girls her age. She preferred to play with little Ayu, who looked only two or three years old.

Little Ayu is now publicly claimed to be only two and a half years old. She can memorize poems quickly, and although she can't understand the poems that Mr. Yang taught her, she can still recite them.

Mr. Yang really liked her very much, and often used Xiao Ayu to teach other children a lesson.

"Although you don't need to take the imperial examination, it's too shameful to be inferior to even a two-year-old."

Mr. Yang's tone was not stern when he spoke, but the children, some as young as seven or eight, and even some as young as ten, blushed.

They didn't want to be so stupid, but Ah Yu was just too smart!

"It's a pity it's a girl, otherwise in another ten years or so, we would have a female scholar who has achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations!" Mr. Yang often lamented to his wife in private.

After all, Ayu was the only disciple he had ever seen with such spirituality and wisdom in all his years of teaching.

Madam Yang also felt sorry for little Ayu, so she strongly agreed to let Yang Liu play with little Ayu.

Liu'er was adopted when she was an infant, and Madam Yang treated her like her own daughter.

Liu'er was frail and sickly from a young age and was not close to others. She didn't even associate with her brothers and sisters from the Yang family or her maternal grandfather's family.

But Liu'er has a particular fondness for Xiao Ayu.

Whenever there was something good, she always thought of saving a portion for Ayu. If it weren't for her health, Liu'er would probably go to the Wang family to play every day after school.

Children probably prefer those who seem to need more care than themselves.

The children at the Yang Family Private School were all in class together. Only after all the children were seated did Mr. Yang go in.

Mrs. Yang helped distribute today's textbooks to the children. There were two people at a table, each with a slightly worn thread-bound book in front of them.

"Today, we will study the line 'Saving the people and punishing the guilty, Zhou Fa and Yin Tang' from the Thousand Character Classic. This passage is about..."

Unlike the serious teaching at Aoki Academy, Mr. Yang preferred to tell these elementary lessons as stories, and the children listened attentively.

Little Ayu sat up straight, listening with great interest.

Soon, half an hour passed, and Mr. Yang waved his hand and said, "In a quarter of an hour, the younger students will learn to recognize objects with the young teacher, and the older students will learn the 'Chronicle of Dachang' with me."

The students quickly stood up and bowed to Mr. Yang, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, sir!"

Then, everyone dispersed and took advantage of the fifteen-minute break to play.

Yang Liu took Xiao Ayu's hand, wanting to take her to see a cluster of flowers that had recently bloomed.

【Baby, mission successful!】Tuanzi’s voice suddenly rang out.

Little Ayu immediately stopped in her tracks, very happy: "Elf, did you and Uncle Chen complete your mission?"

[Yes, yes, yes, the mission has just been successfully completed! Our shop will be opening soon!]

"That's great!" Little Ayu didn't know what the mall was, but she knew that the elves had been looking forward to it for a long time.

She is happy when the elf is happy.
