Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Pei Xiaohai should have gone home, but she was really curious. She thought that woman was Yu Li, the one that Mu Shuanglin spent ten taels of silver to take home.

But why did she go to Pei's house?

Yes, Boss Pei has always wanted a son, and he even spent so much money on offering sacrifices to the river god during the Chinese New Year last year. This is not surprising.

But Mu Shuanglin still followed her.

Two men were killed, one of them was Mu Shuanglin, right? But who was the other one?

Pei Xiaohai had a bad feeling. She thought that as long as she ran faster, it would be okay to go back later, so she pulled Waiya and followed.

Waiya: "Why are you following them?"

Pei Xiaohai: "Don't ask that, I don't want to tell you."

Waiya curled her lips and said, "I know that without asking. That's your mother, right? That Miss Pei in the liquor store is your eldest sister? Do you want to ask her for money? Or do you want to go back with her? Whatever it is, I advise you not to go. If she wanted you, she wouldn't give you to someone else. They are crazy, and if you get close to them, you're even worse than a crazy person."

"You are the cheap one. I don't want money, and I don't want to go back with her." Pei Xiaohai really didn't want to hear it.

Waiya didn't believe it at all: "Then why are you scolding me?"

"You scolded me first!" Pei Xiaohai said seriously, "I had other things to do."

Waiya said nothing. She took two steps and then imitated the woman who bought the rattle for the child, calling her: "My dear girl, if you really want a good father and mother, just call me mother. When I grow up, I will find you a father, and I will be your father and play with you. It will be wonderful for our family of three to be together. Uncle Yu can be your grandfather."

Pei Xiaohai: ...

"I want to be your ancestor."

"Then buy me some pine nut candy."

"I'll buy you a poop."

Waiya: ...

"Your words are so harsh."

The other person meant well, so it would be fine if she didn't appreciate it, but why did she curse at him?

Waiya really thought that her idea was a good one. Although they were of a different generation, her mother was definitely much better than her biological mother.

"How about you think about it again?"

"How about I beat you again?"

Pei raised his fist in a threatening manner.

What was she thinking? Why did someone always want to be her father and mother, and why did they all fail miserably?

Waiya hummed, "If you're not happy, forget it, you unlucky person."

"What kind of blessing is that?"

Why does what she said sound like the truth?

Waiya: "Being my daughter, what else could it be but a blessing?"

"Where is happiness?"

"Didn't I tell you? I'll let you play in the mud and find you a father, and then you can live with your grandfather."

"So where is happiness?"

"Didn't I tell you? Go ahead and yell, your dad, your grandpa, and your mom are all here together as a family, happy and reunited. We will never hit you."

"What's the end? Where is the blessing?"

"Isn't this a blessing? Why are you so greedy? Do you still want a grandmother?"

"I want an ancestor!"

As the two children talked, they started arguing, and their voices became louder and louder.

Everyone in the front heard it.

"Xiaojiu, is that you?" Aunt Pei asked loudly from a distance.

"Oh no! Run!" Waiya subconsciously wanted to run.

Little Pei hesitated for only a moment before Aunt Pei came over to her: "Xiaojiu, why are you here?"

Seeing it getting closer, Pei Xiaohai stomped his feet and ran away.

They still didn't have the courage to confront their acquaintances, as it would be disastrous if they were caught.

They still ran back home. Before entering the house, Pei Xiaohai asked Waiya to bring all the remaining chestnuts and persimmons, and asked her to go and see Widow Mu and Mu Dalang.

"Why are you looking at them?" Waiya was reluctant.

Little Pei couldn't explain it clearly: "Just watch from a distance and see if there is anything wrong or strange about them."

"...Okay." Waiya didn't understand why, but she agreed anyway.

Pei Xiaohai went back out the back door. Later, when Waiya came to deliver something, she said to her:

"There's nothing strange about it. They're all fine. Why are you asking them?"

She asked again, but Pei Xiaohai still didn't say anything. She thought something had happened to Widow Mu and the others, which was why Mu Shuanglin was harassing that woman. It seemed that this was not the case. Maybe it was still because of money?

Pei Xiaohai ran back and prepared to hand the bran to Waiya through the back door.

Pei Zhu called her at the door and asked her to go out and play with Waiya for a while.

How fresh! If I hadn’t known about it, I would have thought the sun was rising from the west.

Pei Zhu continued, "Are you having a quarrel with her, or what? She gave you a lot of things, but you didn't return the favor. It would be bad if word got out. If you don't want to play with her anymore, you shouldn't have accepted her things."

Pei Xiaohai knew that she was not so kind and there must be some strange reason.

Pei Zhu hoped that they would never play together again, but Pei Xiaoxiao said, "Then I will take two steamed buns and play with her."

Bae Joo: ...

"By the way, where are your collar and bracelet? Why aren't you wearing them?"

Pei Xiaohai: "Then I'll put it on and go."

After a while, Pei ran out with two steamed buns in his hand, making a lot of noise.

Pei Zhu's mouth corners turned down, still a little dissatisfied.

It’s about chestnuts and persimmons.

A lot of sugar and oil were wasted at home, but no one saw anything. She felt that the child was too lonely.

But wasn't it her who rejected it and refused to take it last time when I gave it to her?

In her mind, Pei Xiaohai was not a good person at all.

Who cares?

Pei Xiaohai and Waiya were almost exhausted, and they still had to wander outside. Since they were already out, they might as well go to the shack to see Widow Mu and Mu Dalang.

Pei Xiaohai didn't run away this time. She asked Waiya to wait for her outside and went in to ask directly.

"Did you get your money back?"

It's been a while since that happened, but Mu Dalang is still angry when he mentions it:

"No, the Yu family was unreasonable and refused to give it to me, so I had a fight with them."

"He got beaten, right?" Little Pei didn't like him and refused to give him any face.

"You, what do you know? I was just giving in to them because they are older." Mu Dalang said unconvinced.

Pei Xiaohai: "You got beaten up by them, and then what happened? Did you go there again?"

"No, my mother won't let me go."

While they were talking, Widow Mu was sitting on the bed sewing clothes.

"why?"

"Ask her."

Mu Dalang said this unhappily, but Widow Mu continued to sew quietly without even raising her head.

Little Pei walked over stubbornly and put his face in front of her: "Why?"

Widow Mu: ...

Widow Mu could not see the clothes, but only a head that deserved a beating. She finally stopped sewing, sighed and said:

"Why go? To get beaten? They're so many and powerful, what can we do?"

This is the truth. If they had someone to help them, they would not live in a shack. Like some people, they would live with relatives and friends.

and……

"It wouldn't be nice if this kind of thing got out."

Widow Mu felt ashamed and was too embarrassed to talk about it, and she didn't want the villagers to know.

But she wasn't the one who wanted a wife, and she wasn't the one who spent all the money, so what was there to be ashamed of?

If they don't ask for it, then the shameless ones will ask for it themselves, and maybe even harm others.

Pei Xiaohai hesitated for the last moment and asked, "I heard that Yu Li killed two men. One might be Uncle Mu... Do you know who the other one is?"

"Another one? What? Her husband is dead too?" Widow Mu showed some mocking satisfaction on her face.

Pei Xiaohai: ...Who is asking whom?
