The useless second daughter of the Hua family

On the second floor of the restaurant, Pi Fu and Xiu Zhu sat facing the street, watching the two people shopping downstairs.

When Ge Qingcheng came that day, Pi Fu thought Tao Yao would do something big, but he just asked them to follow him secretly.

In the past two days, Hua Miaomiao took Yin Xuan to stroll around the streets and alleys. She would take Yin Xuan wherever he needed help, whether it was fetching water or chopping wood, or rescuing cats and dogs. Whenever Yin Xuan showed any displeasure, she would say with a disappointed look on her face: "Ge Qinglan was always happy to do so before."

That little expression gave Pi Fu goosebumps, but Yin Xuan just fell for it and was completely controlled by Hua Miaomiao.

Pi Fu looked disdainful and asked, "What on earth is Hua Miaomiao doing?"

"Don't you think this scene looks familiar? Taoyao was captured by her little by little in this way."

"..."

Well, it doesn't matter if the move is useful.

In fact, Hua Miaomiao didn't think so deeply. She really wanted to teach Yin Xuan something. In her opinion, Yin Xuan and Tao Yao had many similarities. They were both born strong and had never experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature. Relying on a memory of Ge Qinglan, he came to this mortal world ignorantly.

Even a piece of wood can be enlightened by her, so what is a ghost emperor? Moreover, Hua Miaomiao also had a little idea in mind, just to deliberately annoy Tao Yao and make him pay less attention to her. For several days, he didn't even show up, and she was almost mad to death!

"Miaomiao, Miaomiao! Hua Miaomiao!"

Yin Xuan called her several times but got no response, so he could only shout at her louder.

Hua Miaomiao came back to her senses and saw that he was surrounded by a group of children, pestering him to play with them. He had an impatient look on his face, but his hands unconsciously supported the children hanging on him.

In a few days, it will be the blessing day in Gejia Village, which is not far from Wanzhou. Most of the people who live here are from the branch of the Ge family. Before the autumn harvest every year, the village will hold a ceremony to celebrate the good harvest this year and pray for good weather in the coming year.

The master would send people here every year. Ge Qinglan had been here a few times before. He was not arrogant and had a lively personality. He played well with the children in the village and was very popular.

Hua Miaomiao had heard Ge Qinglan mention this place before, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs, it was a good place to relax. He would always bring her a special kind of cake made with Artemisia annua, which was not delicate but very refreshing.

"Hua Miaomiao, are you coming to save me or not? If you don't come, I'll get angry!" From Yin Xuan's impatient tone, it can be heard that his patience is almost exhausted.

Several women who were squatting and washing clothes were whispering and laughing. Hua Miaomiao didn't understand what was going on and looked at them in confusion.

"Aren't you afraid of him?"

"The Second Young Master always loves to play around, and no one takes his jokes seriously."

"I think he is just lonely and wants you to go over and keep him company, Madam."

"That's right. Second Young Madam, please ignore him. You can't spoil this man all the time. If you keep him company from time to time, your life will be sweeter."

Uh... Hua Miaomiao was a little embarrassed. These sisters really didn't treat her as an outsider and told her everything.

They were not afraid, but she was a little worried. Yin Xuan was not Ge Qinglan, and if he got angry, he might really do something.

Just as she was about to go up, she saw a slightly older child walk over and help Yin Xuan out of the predicament.

The child looked no more than eight or nine years old, but he acted like a little adult. The children obeyed him very much, got off Yin Xuan, and ran away in a swarm.

The woman next to Hua Miaomiao saw that she was looking at him intently, so she took the initiative to say to her, "That's Gu Zi, a poor child."

Hua Miaomiao's curiosity was aroused and she asked her, "What happened to him?"

"The child's father was addicted to gambling. Not only did he lose all his family property, he also lost his wife. His wife was also a chaste woman. She hanged herself with a rope, leaving behind a pair of children."

Hua Miaomiao frowned when she heard this. She had underestimated the evil of human nature.

The woman went on to say, "The owner of the house saw that the two children were helpless and that he was indeed repentant, so he helped him pay off his gambling debts and ordered him to write a letter of repentance. But he didn't expect that he would go even further this time. Not only did he not change his bad habits, he even sold his own daughter."

"What? Where is the girl? Has she been brought back?" Hua Miaomiao asked.

The woman shook her head, and Hua Miaomiao understood what she had not finished saying.

"What happened next? Did he come to harass Gu Zi again?"

"He can't come. I heard he committed a crime and was sent to prison, where he was beaten to death."

Hua Miaomiao thought that it was a case of evil being rewarded with evil, and she didn’t know whether the two brothers of the Ge family were responsible for this.

"Who is this child following now?"

"In fact, the head of the family wanted to take him back to his family, but he refused to go. Several families also wanted to adopt him. But the child was very stubborn and insisted on staying in the room alone, saying that he wanted to wait for his sister to come back. There was nothing we could do, so we could only help him out and help look after him on a daily basis."

These were obviously very simple words, but they moved Hua Miaomiao deeply. Ge Qinglan was right, the villagers here were really simple and lovely.

Yin Xuan really had no impression of the kid in front of him. Seeing him hesitant to speak and shrinking away, the impatience in his eyes became even stronger.

Just when he was about to leave, he saw Hua Miaomiao walking towards him with a gentle look on her face, and he immediately put on a smiling face.

Hua Miaomiao came over and ignored Yin Xuan, but walked in front of Gu Zi and looked at him tenderly. If she hadn't heard it from others, she would never have known that the child was already twelve years old.

"You must be Gu Zi. I know you."

Gu Zi felt shy when she looked at him. He thought Hua Miaomiao had heard the two young masters of the Ge family talk about him. When he thought that they still remembered him, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

His face flushed red, and he called out politely, "Hello, Second Young Madam!"

Yin Xuan desperately searched for the word "millet" in his mind, and then vaguely remembered that it was a little kid crying for his sister.

"Is your sister back?" He asked without thinking. Then Hua Miaomiao gave him a glare, and he scratched his head in confusion. What happened to him?

Although Gu Zi felt upset, he also understood that the other party was concerned with good intentions. Seeing that the Second Young Lady was about to glare at the Second Young Master to death, he hid his sadness and said to the two of them, "Not yet, but it will be soon."

Hua Miaomiao thought he was just comforting himself, which made her feel even more sorry for him.

The village chief invited Hua Miaomiao and others to his home and slaughtered pigs and sheep to entertain them.

He was from the same family, and originally worked with Ge Qingcheng's father. After Ge Qingcheng came to power, he helped a lot. It was not until Ge Qingcheng had established himself that he resigned and came to this small village to live a leisurely life. According to seniority, Ge Qinglan should call him his uncle.

"Uncle, you are too polite. It makes me feel very scared."

Hua Miaomiao said polite words but her eyes were darting around the table.

The village chief was amused by her cuteness and asked everyone to start the meal.

Perhaps it was the inheritance of the Ge family that his two sons could not get used to the life of idleness and worked hard in the Ge family's business. There were only the wife of the village head and their little grandson at home.

During the meal, Yin Xuan performed steadily and chatted with the village chief. Seeing that he was handling the situation well, Hua Miaomiao focused on playing with the little meat ball.

Seeing how much she loved children, the village chief and his wife urged them to have one as soon as possible.

"The Ge family is now wealthy and powerful, but the population is a little sparse. It would be great if there were two more children running around in the house, making it lively and bustling."

It was the first time that Hua Miaomiao was urged to give birth by her elders, and her face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Yin Xuan was very understanding. He nodded repeatedly and clinked glasses with the village chief several times.

Hua Miaomiao was watching from the side, feeling both angry and amused. She couldn't help but complain in her heart, what is this? Does it have anything to do with you? It's not your fault. The real owner is not in a hurry at all.

Thinking of that big wooden man, Hua Miaomiao felt aggrieved. Was he really not going to come to find her?

"Auntie, meat."

The childish voice brought her back to her senses, and the little meatball stared at the ribs in her bowl and drooled. He had few teeth yet, so he could only eat soft and rotten minced meat, but he was just in time to take a look at the fragrant ribs.

Yin Xuan also found it interesting, so he picked up a piece of pork ribs and shook it in front of the child, causing the child to scream.

"Since you like eating meat, how about just calling you Meat?"

"Stop making trouble. How old is he? How can he eat?" Hua Miaomiao shouted at him.

Yin Xuan took back his chopsticks, pinched the child's chubby little face, and sighed in his heart that it felt so good. No wonder so many people loved to pinch Hua Miaomiao's face. He also wanted to try it now.
