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

The group returned to the noodle stall.

Gu Qinghuai ordered a bowl of hot soup and shredded pork noodles for each person, with two poached eggs on top.

A total of eight bowls of noodles cost seventy-two cents.

Gu Qingtao was reluctant to spend the money and said that she, Shuya and Shumiao would eat two bowls together and insisted that Gu Qinghuai return another bowl.

Zhu Meijun stopped her and said proudly: "Sit down, don't waste your time. What's this little money? Our family is rich now. We eat meat and white rice every day!"

When Gu Qingtao heard this, she was stunned.

Is this still her grandmother who used to spend pennies carefully?

Gu Qinghuai also smiled confidently: "Yes, second sister, our family is not short of money, you will know when you go back."

Gu Qingtao took a look at what the people were wearing. From their shirts to their shoes, they were all made of good fabrics without a single patch.

My grandmother also wore a pair of gold earrings on her ears and a gold bracelet on her hand!

My uncle also had a big knife on his back, and the scabbard looked very high-end.

It seems that there have been great changes at home. Gu Qingtao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's each have a bowl of noodles."

The three girls slurped their saliva, with delight in their eyes.

The noodle stall owner quickly served eight bowls of noodle soup.

Gu Qingtao and her three children ate voraciously.

Zhu Meijun helped take care of the two younger ones, occasionally picking up some shredded meat from her bowl and giving them some.

Song Shumiao, who was over one year old, ate half a bowl of noodles. Seeing that her stomach was too full, Gu Qingtao didn't dare let her eat any more and gave the remaining noodles to Song Shuyin.

"Food, food..." When Song Shumiao saw her bowl being taken away, her mouth suddenly drooped and tears started to well up in her eyes.

Gu Qinghuai hurriedly pulled her to his side and coaxed her softly, saying that he would buy her candied haws tomorrow. Only then did she stop crying.

However, his two big eyes were still fixed on his two sisters who were eating noodles, and saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Gu Qinghuai felt sad.

A one-year-old baby should be chubby at this age, but the little guy is frighteningly thin.

Not only Shumiao, but also Shuyin and Shuya are very thin, and they all look like they have been hungry for a long time and are malnourished.

Song Shuyin wiped her tears while stuffing noodles into her mouth. Occasionally, she raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Gu Qinghuai.

Song Shuya was concentrating on eating. A noodle accidentally fell on the table. She tried several times with her little hands to pick it up. Then she puffed up her cheeks to blow away the dust and put it carefully into her mouth.

Gu Qinghuai couldn't help but laugh when he saw her exquisite little appearance.

Gu Qingtao was also wiping her tears while eating.

The few dozen coins and a small bag she had on her were robbed by bandits yesterday. Although she was extremely distressed, she was not too panicked. At most, she could just take the children and beg for food on her way back to her parents' home.

But when she met the human traffickers today, she was really scared.

What she feared most was not being sold, but being forced to be separated from her children, who were then sold to unclean places and tortured.

Unexpectedly, God left her a way to survive, and she met her third sister, grandmother and uncle halfway.

Of course she noticed that her third sister had changed a lot, and her grandmother and uncle were also very different from before, but she suppressed the doubts in her heart and did not ask more questions. Outside was not the place to talk.

The warm soup noodles warmed her empty stomach and made her whole body feel soothed.

Next to the noodle stall, the six human traffickers were tied together and could only watch Gu Qinghuai and others eat noodles, their mouths watering with greed.

"Girl, give us a bowl of noodles. We haven't had dinner yet and we are too hungry to walk," the sturdy old woman shouted.

Gu Qinghuai ignored her and just glanced at Qi Yuanshuo.

Qi Yuanshuo immediately took out a few stones from his cloth bag and gave one to each person.

The six people gasped in pain and dared not speak anymore.

Gu Qingtao glanced at Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Are the third sister and this boy named Xiao Shitou so in tune with each other?

The third sister didn’t say anything, she just glanced at Xiao Shitou, and Xiao Shitou knew what the third sister meant?

Gu Qingtao glanced at Xiao Shitou again and felt more and more that this boy had something special towards her third sister. The admiring look in his eyes could not deceive anyone.

However, my third sister, grandmother and uncle did not notice anything unusual.

Maybe... they are together every day and don’t realize it.

Gu Qingtao didn't intend to say more.

Anyway, Duoyin's brother-in-law has passed away, and it's not easy for my sister to be pregnant, so it's a good thing to have someone to take care of her.

This young man looks very reliable, and his appearance, figure and temperament are all top-notch. Although he is a few years younger than the younger sister, who says that young people are necessarily unreliable?

Song Wenjie is eight or nine years older than her, but isn't he also a scumbag and a heartless man?

Therefore, when looking at a man, age is not the most important thing. The key is to see whether the man has good character.

After eating the noodles, Gu Qinghuai hired another carriage and went directly to a border town in Pingyuan County and stayed in a small inn.

In order to prevent the six human traffickers from escaping, Gu Qinghuai directly used sleeping pills to knock them out and piled them in the room where Qi Yuanshuo and Zhao Wang slept.

Gu Qinghuai and his four companions and Gu Qingtao and her daughter went into another guest room to talk.

Gu Qingtao pushed the three girls out, pointed at Gu Qinghuai and the other three, and said to them softly: "This is your great-grandmother, this is your uncle, this is your third aunt, and this is..."

Gu Qinghuai immediately answered for Qi Yuanshuo: "Second sister, his name is Zhao Xiaoshi, and he is my uncle's youngest son. Nieces should call him little cousin."

"Yes, he's my youngest son," Zhao Wang also patted Qi Yuanshuo on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hello, second cousin," Qi Yuanshuo smiled politely at Gu Qingtao.

"Hello, little cousin," Gu Qingtao responded politely.

Uncle’s...youngest son?

Gu Qingtao remembered that her uncle had no children.

In the past, that woman cheated on my uncle, and the three children she gave birth to were not his. The reason she married my uncle was just to find a nominal father for the children so that my uncle could take over.

Later, fortunately, my grandmother found out, otherwise my uncle would have worked hard all his life to raise other people's children.

Raising a child would be fine, but the key point is that the woman is not nice to my uncle at all. She always scolds him and doesn't let him touch her.

Those three children are ungrateful. Their uncle has raised them for so many years, but they have no affection for him at all.

Alas, my grandmother was such a great person, but she gave birth to two children who were both kind and gentle as cotton wool. My mother was like this, and my uncle is also like this.

I guess they all inherited their grandfather's temperament.

However, when we met this time, my uncle's personality had changed a little. He was no longer as timid as before, and he became much more confident.

Gu Qinghuai winked at Gu Qingtao and said, "Second sister, there are some things I will tell you quietly later."

"Okay," Gu Qingtao nodded blankly and smiled at the three girls, "Call me great-grandmother, uncle, third aunt, and little cousin."

"Great-grandmother, uncle, third aunt, little cousin!" The three girls called out together, their voices so sweet.
