My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

It’s not that busy these days, so it’s about time I send them to school.

"Dahua, is there something wrong?" Gu Lili asked with a smile.

Zhang Dahua then remembered what his mother had told him, and quickly handed the dice in his hand to Gu Lili.

"Sister Lili, my father and I have been idle these days, so we made two sieves for you. Try them and see if they are useful to you?" Zhang Dahua said with a smile.

Gu Lili looked at the sieve in Zhang Dahua. It was woven very well, and each connection was handled very well. There was no need to worry about scratching the hands, which showed the care of the person who wove the sieve.

Gu Lili quickly stood up and said, "How can this be so embarrassing?"

As Gu Lili spoke, she took out her purse and prepared to give money to Dahua.

After seeing Gu Lili's actions, Dahua stepped back repeatedly.

"Sister Lili, what are you doing? If you give us money, we won't dare to help you in the future," Zhang Dahua said jokingly, waving his hand.

Gu Lili paused what she was doing, turned around and went back to the shack.

When she came out again, she was holding three hairpins of the same style as her siblings.

Gu Lili smiled and handed the hairpin in her hand to Dahua, saying, "Dahua, I won't give you money for the dice, but you must accept the hairpin I give you. Otherwise, I don't want you to give us anything in the future!"

Although Zhang Dahua did not mention their hairpins when she came in, she was sharp-eyed and had already noticed that Dahua had glanced at the top of Gu Huanhuan's head several times.

Dahua is at the age when people love beauty, and the envy in her eyes has already been accurately captured by Gu Lili.

Zhang Dahua waved her hands awkwardly and said, "Sister Lili, my dice are not worth much, how can I exchange them for such a beautiful hairpin!"

Although the hairpin in Gu Lili's hand was made of wood, the flowers carved on it were lifelike. Zhang Dahua, who had worked as a worker in the town, knew that it should be quite expensive.

How could I have the nerve to ask for it! If I accepted it, my mother would definitely scold me when I got home.

"It's not expensive. If it were expensive, I wouldn't be willing to buy so much. Just take it. If not, you can take the sieve back!" Gu Lili said with a deliberately stern face.

I bought this hairpin from the trading system. It cost ten cents each, which was not expensive for Gu Lili.

Zhang Dahua was in a dilemma for a moment. He refused to accept the hairpin, and Gu Lili didn't want his sieve.

After taking the hairpin, she felt embarrassed to take advantage of Gu Lili.

Gu Lili saw that she was embarrassed and handed the hairpin to Zhang Dahahua without saying a word.

"Dahua, just take it, it's nothing!" said Gu Lili.

"Yes, Sister Dahua, take it. Look at it. It looks so beautiful when my third sister wears it. It will definitely look good on you too!" Gu Sigou also echoed.

Gu Huanhuan and Gu Erniu both looked at Zhang Dahahua with blushing faces, and nodded in agreement.

Gu Lili looked at Erniu's blushing face and felt a little strange for a moment.

Sigou was talking about Huanhuan, not him, why was he blushing!

Just when Gu Lili wanted to ask Erniu what was going on, Zhang Dahua said a little embarrassedly, "Sister Lili, I'll take the hairpin. Can you also help me comb my hair?"

Zhang Dahua looked at the playful Gu Huanhuan in front of her and felt very envious.

I wonder if I would look as good if I had the same hairstyle as Gu Huanhuan.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "Why not? Come, sit here and I'll comb your hair for you!"

Zhang Dahua smiled and sat in front of Gu Lili. Gu Lili moved her hand in her sleeve and a pink hairband appeared in her hand.

Gu Erniu and the other two did not find it strange about the sudden appearance of the headband.

Zhang Dahua didn't see it because she was in front of Gu Lili.

Gu Lili also combed Zhang Dahua's hair in the same style as Gu Huanhuan's.

Gu Erniu, who was standing by, watched Gu Lili combing Zhang Dahua's hair without blinking. When Zhang Dahua looked up, Gu Erniu quickly turned his head away.

Zhang Dahua's face turned red for some reason.

Soon, Gu Lili finished combing her hair.

Gu Huanhuan brought the small mirror in her hand to Zhang Dahua. Zhang Dahua took a look and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh, Huanhuan, who is this? So pretty!"

The onlookers couldn't help laughing, and Zhang Dahua then realized that the person in the mirror was actually himself.

"Wow! Sister Lili, your hair is so beautifully combed that I didn't even recognize myself!" Zhang Dahua exclaimed.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "Dahua, you are naturally pretty!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Although Zhang Dahua had a loud voice and a carefree personality.

But, she is also a beauty, with ginkgo eyes and a high nose bridge.

I believe that within a year or two, many people will come to Aunt Zhang's house to propose marriage.

Zhang Dahua's face turned red from the praise and she said, "I'll go home and show it to my mom, hehehe."

Zhang Dahua said this and ran towards her home. Gu Lili couldn't help laughing.

When Gu Lili turned around, she found Gu Erniu looking at Zhang Dahua's back with a silly smile on his face. Gu Lili's heart tightened.

Could it be that this kid has fallen in love with Zhang Dahua?

Gu Erniu is almost thirteen years old, but he is still too young.

Were all children in ancient times so precocious?

However, it seems to be like this. It is very common to get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen and get married after the coming-of-age ceremony.

If my younger brother really likes Zhang Dahua, then I have to help him arrange things.

Otherwise, such a good girl would definitely be snatched away by someone else in no time.

However, this depends on Zhang Dahua's intention.

If she has no interest in Gu Erniu, then there is nothing that can be done.

Let’s find a time and ask Gu Erniu first.

"Second brother! What are you grinning for?" Gu Sigou looked at his second brother who was grinning foolishly, quietly approached Gu Erniu and shouted.

Gu Erniu was startled, as if his inner thoughts were seen through by Gu Sigou.

He ran around the yard awkwardly chasing Gu Sigou.

"Oh, sister, please take care of my second brother, hahaha..." Gu Sigou laughed while running.

Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan looked at the two people playing and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The laughter in the yard spread outside and just happened to reach the ears of Gu Jingsheng who was passing by.

The laughter of the four people sounded extremely harsh to his ears at this moment.

He never imagined that the four lowly bastards in his eyes were actually living so happily now.

He looked at the brick house being built behind him and his teeth were itching with hatred.

He was now full of resentment, resentful of Old Madam Gu for instigating the separation of the family.

I hate these four bastards even more. They are so rich that they are not even filial to their own grandfather.
