Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

It no longer looks like a newborn monkey, and it doesn't look so ugly after growing up. The vernix caseosa on its body has all faded away, and the red skin has grown back. Its little face is now very fair and clean. It can be seen that it looks very much like Mo Ru Ru, except that its eyes are narrow and long, like the Wang family's.

There was nothing to do this afternoon, so Wang Shiyu did not continue embroidering. Instead, she sat under the shade of a tree and looked at her brother who was sleeping in the cradle. Mo Ruru and Aunt Niu were making lunch at this time. They were going to treat everyone to a meal today, so Mo Ruru was so busy and had no time to look after the child.

Today is the day that Mr. Liu has taught Zhou Qingyun for a whole year, so they decided to invite Mr. Liu and his wife to have a meal at home. So it is already afternoon, but they have not had lunch yet. They are all busy rushing to make food to eat later.

Because what was agreed with Mr. Liu was that Mr. Liu would devote all his energy to teaching Zhou Qingyun for a year. Especially since the old man hadn't come yet, Wang Shiyu didn't know how to deal with this matter. After all, the money was given by the old man. Now it was time for Zhou Qingyun to treat Mr. Liu to a farewell dinner. Regardless of whether Mr. Liu could continue to teach in the future, this dinner had to be treated.

Sure enough, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Liu came with his daughter. Mr. Liu's daughter was called Liu Ying, a very nice name. She was younger, just six years old this year. Because she had been bedridden for many years and had no playmates, she liked children more, especially those who could not speak yet. When facing children, Liu Ying could chatter all day long without stopping, and the baby in the cradle would sometimes babble a few words. The two people who were talking at cross purposes had a very happy chat.

Wang Shiyu didn't care about that. She just watched her brother who was entertaining his sleep. This was to prevent any accidents from happening. She just sat by and watched. After all, the door was open now to prevent anyone from coming in to steal the child, to prevent Liu Ying from running out casually, and to prevent the old man from suddenly appearing and scaring people.

"Meow meow meow!!!"

Just as she was thinking about what the old man should do next, she suddenly heard a strange cat meow coming from outside the door. The meow... was a bit like the sound of a person being pinched by the throat. Not only was the sound shrill, it also sounded a bit like the voice of a eunuch from the palace, very unpleasant.

Whose nice cat calls like this?

She walked to the door thoughtfully, and saw the old man in disguise, wearing a cool, patched suit. He was holding a stick in one hand and leaning on it. In the other hand he was holding a broken bowl with two copper coins in it. It seemed that the old man had developed a new business for himself and was earning a pretty good income.

Wang Shiyu looked at Liu Ying who was looking at the door with horror, went over to comfort her, then stood up and walked to the door, looking at the embarrassed old man. Even on the way to escape, he had never been so embarrassed.

"Girl, you are a good person. Can you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for a day and I am so hungry that I can't walk anymore."

Seeing the gray and miserable look on the old man's face, she couldn't help wanting to laugh, but finally she forced herself to hold it back to prevent the old man from getting angry. After all, it looked like her plan had succeeded.

"I have some leftovers from lunch at home. You can come in and take some to eat, but you can only eat in the yard. You are not allowed to go into the house. My cousin is studying in the house. Please don't disturb him."

Wang Shiyu's face was calm and her tone was unchanged, as if giving some leftovers to beggars was a very effortless thing. After all, nothing grew in the fields now, so who would have the time to feed beggars?

The old man gritted his teeth, thanked him profusely, and walked into the yard, then turned around and closed the door. Wang Shiyu just glanced at him and didn't say anything. The person who came in was just a thin and poor old man. Even if there were rumors, it didn't matter, after all, this person wouldn't stay for long.

"Old man, my cousin is preparing a teacher appreciation banquet today. We can't invite you to eat directly in the kitchen, so you can go to the side room over there to have a bite. At least it's not very hot."

After saying that, he took the old man directly to a small house behind the house. Originally, they planned to raise some poultry here, so a small house was specially built. Later, because Mo Ruru's belly became big, and Wang Shiyu was not at home all day, there was no one to take care of these things, so they gave up. The small house became a warehouse, which contained some farm tools and some old stools that were not used at home.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. Will it make your house dirty? Just let me have a full meal."

The old man continued to act, smiling naively, playing the role of a beggar. He must have learned it from the beggars at the city gate for a long time. Looking at his sincere eyes, I wonder if you would really think he was a beggar.

She called her mother and then took the old man directly to the warehouse at the back. Before entering, she took a special look around to make sure that there was no one around. Then she entered the house and closed the door.

"Grandpa, why are you dressed like this? Normally, shouldn't you come to pick us up at night?"

Wang Shiyu pretended to be ignorant even though she knew the truth. After all, those people had never left and she was responsible for it. Now the old man came here probably because he was forced into it by those people. He had been hiding for so long and he would definitely not fail.

After the old man entered the house, he put the bowl in his hand on the ground, then walked to the door and listened carefully. After confirming that there was no sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Those who came to look for Zhou Qingyun haven't left yet. I can't come here to pick you up openly, so you need to stay here for a while. I have to wait until those people leave, and then I will come to pick you up.

I don't know where these people got the clues from. Every time I'm about to leave, I get new clues about Zhou Qingyun. Every time they are related to Qiongdao, they also traced back to the Tongren Escort Agency. Now I don't dare to come here to see you directly.

Here is fifty taels of silver. Take it first. The three of you can spend it first. As for Yun'er's tuition, extend it for another year and let Mr. Liu continue to teach him."

After saying that, he took out a banknote of one hundred and fifty taels of silver from his pocket. Looking at the money in the old man's hand, Wang Shiyu almost laughed out loud. It was really a bad habit.

Wang Shiyu sneered directly, then looked up at the old man. What an honest man, he didn't show off his power and treated others as sick cats?

Wang Shiyu didn't even stretch out her hand to take the two sums of money. It was really getting more and more outrageous. Last year, at least she had given them one hundred taels of silver. Although it wasn't enough to spend, it was still enough to get by. Now she actually cut it in half. How could she think that they were living too well and was trying to make things difficult for them?

The old man narrowed his eyes. It was not that he did not want to give Wang Shiyu more money, but mainly because he was short of money now. He had not been idle this year. He had been inquiring about the things in Jinling and formed an uprising army with Zhang Jiahe. He needed money everywhere, and now he was simply spending more than he earned.

No matter how much stuff his mother left behind, it was not enough to spend. Now he had less and less money, so he could only cut back on it slowly. He knew that fifty taels of silver was indeed a little too little for four people, but he was really reluctant to take it out.

Just by looking at the expression of his granddaughter, he knew that this child would never give up easily. In order to prevent his plan from going wrong, he tremblingly took out another silver note of fifty taels of silver from his arms and gave it to Wang Shiyu.

When Wang Shiyu saw the two hundred and fifty taels of silver note, she suddenly felt a little stupid. This amount was too worthy of their family. Everyone in the Wang family was an idiot. They didn't care whether they were scolded or not. It was so annoying. This family was so annoying. She really wanted to kill them all.

She thought about it and decided to accept the money. Otherwise, if she said no, the old man would probably take it back. Then she reached out to take the banknote, and then she slightly restrained the indifference in her eyes. The main thing was that it was that person's money, so she had to be polite to him.

Then he glanced at the door calmly, calculating the time. It should be about time and he should be here.

"Where's my dad? Why didn't he come with you?"
