The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo met a little girl when they were going down the mountain.

The little girl was three or four years old, dark, thin and short. She was holding a small bamboo basket with some wild vegetables in it.

She was already thin, and she was carrying a frighteningly skinny baby on her back. The baby looked only two or three months old.

It should be a baby girl. If it was a boy, her family would never let him starve to become so thin.

Nor would they leave him to be taken care of by a little kid who was only three or four years old.

Gu Qinghuai remembered who this little girl was.

A few days ago, when she was collecting points for open-crotch pants in the village, she met Ding Honglian's grandson Hu Dabao, and the little girl was also present.

It seems to be called...Laidi.

Lai Di was very happy to see Gu Qinghuai and excitedly called her "beautiful sister". When he saw Qi Yuanshuo standing next to Gu Qinghuai, he also timidly called her "beautiful brother".

Gu Qinghuai smiled at her and was thinking about whether to give Lai Di a few more pieces of maltose, but Lai Di hesitated for a moment, then took out a bunch of bright red berries from the bottom of the bamboo basket and handed them to her carefully: "Pretty sister, here you go."

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Sister doesn't want to eat, so you eat it."

"Sister, eat it. Sister gave me candy last time. This...thank you, sister." Lai Di stretched out his little hand stubbornly, wanting to give the wild fruit to Gu Qinghuai.

This little kid is quite grateful.

Gu Qinghuai felt warm in his heart.

It can be seen that Lai Di was actually reluctant to part with the bunch of wild fruits. The way she looked at the wild fruits was like a hungry wolf cub seeing meat, her eyes glowed green and she kept swallowing her saliva.

"I'm not hungry, I'll keep the fruit for you to eat." After saying that, Gu Qinghuai took out a few more pieces of maltose and put them in her bamboo basket. "I'll give you a few more pieces of candy, you can eat them secretly and then go home. Remember, don't tell anyone that these are for you."

Lai Di widened his eyes, looked at the candies in disbelief, then looked at Gu Qinghuai, and was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.

So much candy! All given to her by her beautiful sister!

She still remembers the candy her beautiful sister gave her last time. It was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten!

Qi Yuanshuo looked at the skinny little girl and instantly thought of his nephew Qi Zhengxuan.

He concealed the coldness in his eyes and warned in a gentle voice: "Little boy, there are many wild beasts in the mountains. Don't go into the mountains alone in the future."

"Yeah!" Lai Di nodded repeatedly.

Gu Qinghuai turned around and left with Qi Yuanshuo.

After walking away, Qi Yuanshuo glanced at Gu Qinghuai and whispered, "She will definitely be reluctant to eat the candy you gave her and will definitely take it home."

Gu Qinghuai was slightly surprised: "How did you know?"

Qi Yuanshuo said: "The little girl looked very hungry, but she didn't eat the fruits secretly right after she picked them. Instead, she hid them at the bottom of the bamboo basket. She must have wanted to take them home for her family to eat."

Qi Yuanshuo was right. Lai Di was so hungry that he felt dizzy, but he resisted the urge to eat the bunch of wild fruits.

Because she wanted to take the wild fruits home to her parents and grandparents.

She wanted to show her parents and grandparents that she could not only take care of her younger sister, but also dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits.

She is useful!

She hoped that her parents and grandparents would give her a good look, smile at her once, and stop scolding her as a money-loser, a useless bitch.

After Lai Di took the candy home, he gave one each to his parents and grandparents.

The four adults couldn't wait to stuff the candies into their mouths, and no one offered to share some with Lai Di and his sister.

After the four of them finished eating the candy, they sternly asked Lai Di where the candy came from and whether he could get it again.

Lai Di shook her head in horror and said that an unfamiliar passerby gave it to her.

The four of them then gave up and poked Lai Di's head and scolded her.

Lai Di thought that there were probably too few candies and not enough to please his parents, so he quickly took out some wild fruits.

My parents ate all the wild fruits in a few bites, and never asked about my younger brother and sister.

Lai Di carried her sister on her back and stood in the yard blankly looking at her parents and grandparents. She watched their figures swaying in the yard and cursed her and her sister from time to time.

Why can’t her parents and grandparents smile at her once?

She eats so little and does so much work.

She felt so sad that tears kept flowing from her eyes, making her vision blurry.

She couldn't understand why her parents and grandparents hated her so much even though she loved them so much.

Is it because she is a girl?

But how can she become a boy?

Lai Di wiped his tears, hid in the corner of the woodshed, secretly bit off a piece of candy and fed it into his sister's mouth.

The last piece of candy was left for her sister.

When Gu Qinghuai returned home, the three little ones immediately told her that they heard a few women gossiping and took the opportunity to leak the hundred-year-old ginseng she had dug up.

Gu Qinghuai praised the three little ones highly, saying that they were fearless in the face of danger, able to adapt to circumstances, knew how to borrow strength and were good at using wits. They were the future pillars of Gu Laosi's family and the stars of hope of Tuniu Village. He rewarded each of them with two pieces of maltose.

The three little ones were praised so much that their necks were raised high, their hearts were filled with excitement, and they felt like they could fly at the next moment.

Gu Qingjuesong suddenly remembered something and looked at Gu Qinghuai worriedly: "Third sister, don't be angry about those gossips. Those women in the village like to gossip. What they say is bullshit!"

"Don't worry, little brother. The mouth is on other people's bodies, but the road is under my feet. Third sister is not that fragile." Gu Qinghuai patted Gu Qingsong's shoulder with relief, but made him grimace and scream "ah".

Gu Qingya and Gu Qingmiao also immediately covered their shoulders and stepped away, fearing that their third sister would pat their shoulders as well.

Gu Qinghuai thought about the three little ones who had been helping their mother move clay all morning, and she immediately understood what was going on. She pulled Gu Qingsong's collar open.

What caught my eye was Gu Qingsong's thin shoulders, which were rubbed raw and swollen.

"Third sister, I'm not in pain," Gu Qingsong smiled and comforted Gu Qinghuai when he saw her worried look on her face. He was afraid that her third sister would not let him move the clay in the afternoon.

He is the man of the family and he should help his mother share the burden.

Gu Qinghuai felt uncomfortable and glared at him, "It doesn't hurt? It's already like this, and it doesn't hurt?!"

She checked Gu Qingya and Gu Qingmiao again, and the two little girls were in the same condition. Gu Qingmiao was the youngest, and her shoulders were bleeding from being rubbed.

Gu Qinghuai felt so distressed that he thought of buying some ointments from the system to apply on them, but he didn't have enough points.

I’m going to the county town to buy a donkey cart tomorrow!

From then on, clay was transported using donkey carts.

Gu Qinghuai made up his mind.

Anyway, soon everyone in the village will know that she has dug up a hundred-year-old ginseng, so it is normal that she can afford a donkey cart.

Gu Qinghuai’s guess was correct. On that day, the news that she had dug up a hundred-year-old ginseng in the mountains spread throughout the village.

Ding Honglian's man Hu Yunjie scolded Ding Honglian, saying that if she had not offended Gu Laosi's family, they would still be able to get some benefits now.

At least I can get some meat to eat.

Didn’t the Meng family next door eat several meals of meat?

They are neighbors, but others eat meat while they can only smell it!
