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

"Children, let me tell you, this is candy from the capital. Three cents a piece is not expensive at all. I spent so much effort just traveling all the way here. You will know if it is worth it once you taste it. Look at its crystal clear appearance and taste its flavor.

It’s definitely different from what you usually eat. No matter how delicious the candied haws are, they’re from the provincial capital, right?

What? They usually sell for three for one cent. Of course, if you want three for one cent, it's not unavailable. But you've eaten candies that cost three for one cent before.

Three cents a pop, what a valuable thing! If you miss it, you won’t know when it will come back. Aren’t you tempted?”

The peddler who always sold snacks and toys kept talking until his lips were almost worn out. He held a light yellow, very transparent candy and waved it in front of a group of children.

It arouses people's greed, then wraps the candy in a handkerchief, taps it lightly with a small silver hammer, and unfolds the handkerchief. The candy has broken into pieces, with cracks like ice flowers on each piece.

It tastes like naizi, the kind of fruit that turns red and is very crispy when eaten.

It also looks prettier than the usual cloudy and bland sugar, making people want to try it again.

But I wouldn’t say it’s particularly delicious. There’s only a small piece of candy, and the candied haws can last for a long time.

These kids would bargain for chestnuts and persimmons, so how could they be willing to buy such expensive candy?

The peddler spent a long time trying, but few people paid. Most of them wanted the cheap candy.

Some even went so far as to just look at the food without buying it, like Waiya: "Brother, can you let me try another one?"

Peddler: ...

The peddler said with a sad face: "No way."

Waiya smacked her lips and said, "Okay."

Then, in front of the peddler, he and Pei Xiaohai loudly conspired: "Let's go play somewhere else first and come back later. He will definitely let others taste it."

Not only did Pei Xiaohai agree with her, but the other two children also nodded: "That makes sense!"

They dispersed happily.

The peddler was in a miserable state, shouting weakly: "Storage boxes, flowery hand drums, purple gold plasters, honey candies, spinning tops, masks, fur hats, needles and thread, aromatic herbs and teas..."

He was so sad, yet someone still made fun of him.

"Chang Xiaoduo, when did you go to the capital city to get the candy? How come we didn't know?"

"Go away, what does this have to do with you? I can fly. Can I travel 800 miles at night?"

Everyone laughed. He traveled eight hundred miles at night, so why didn't he say he was a BMW?

This statement won't even fool a child, but it can harm children and get them caught.

The commotion at the door attracted Pei Da'nu to look out, and she saw a familiar child.

A moment later, in the backyard of the liquor store, she looked at the two children with a worried look on her face: "Why did you come to town again? Your family doesn't care about you anymore?"

Uncle Yu went up the mountain and would never stop her again.

Waiya said: "No one at home cares about me."

Pei Xiaohai saw that she wasn't very angry. The people who sent her back yesterday didn't expose her and just sent her to the back door and left. This made Pei Xiaohai feel that she was on their side, so she told the truth: "They don't know I came out."

This answer doesn't sound very good.

"Then you shouldn't have run away secretly. If something happens, your family will be so worried."

Waiya: "That old guy wouldn't do that."

Uncle Yu, it's hard to say. If something happens to her, Uncle Yu can live alone in her house, and no one will say anything about him even if he eats three bowls of porridge a day...

Pei Xiaohai: "No way, we go out every day for almost a month, and nothing has happened."

Amitabha, Yinggu is the little nun in your temple. Please take care of her and send her a dream...

Even Miss Pei was shocked. Her sister must have been very brave.

"Haven't you heard the story of the human traffickers?"

Waiya was confused, she really had never heard of it.

Pei Xiaohai: "I've heard of it, so what? We haven't encountered it yet."

Pei Da Nu: ...

The breath was stuck in her throat. Why didn't she realize that this child deserved a beating before?

"If you meet him, wouldn't it be a little late?"

The persuasive tone made Pei Xiaohai think for a moment: "It seems so."

"But we didn't encounter it." Waiya emphasized.

The two children smiled at each other, looking very relieved.

Pei Da Nu really didn't want to let her sister be beaten by outsiders, but now it seems that she has no choice.

"Just stand here quietly. I'll go get the guys to harness the cart. I want to have a good talk with your parents later! Don't glare at me, this is for your own good!"

Every time the teachers at Xianlu Academy wanted to talk about something, it would usually be bad. Pei Xiaohai said, "You can't do this. If you tell them, Pig Blood will be dead."

"That's right!" Waiya said angrily, "What right do you have to complain? Do you know how hard it is for us to make money? You just said it's for your own good, but you want to destroy everything? What right do you have?"

Waiya had no expectations of Pei Da Nu, so naturally she wouldn't suddenly become stupid like she did at the funeral hall. She was very quick-witted and threatened:

"If you dare to complain, I will...I will give you rat poison and beat your children. When you die, everyone will call them wild children. See if you are afraid!"

How could a child say such vicious words?

What kind of friend is this, my little sister?

Pei Da Nu was not frightened by a child, but frowned instead.

She has taken care of so many sisters and raised two children. She knows very well that it is not easy for a child to learn good things but easy to learn bad things.

——It is easy to do good, but difficult to do evil.

Children will become the kind of people they surround themselves with.

If a messy person came to the liquor store, she wouldn't dare ask the two children to come to the front, for fear that they would learn something bad. But the little sister had a friend like that...

She went to see Pei Xiaohai worriedly. Someone threatened her loved ones like this, but she had no reaction at all. Has she really learned bad things?

Pei Da Nu felt this way because she thought too much and didn't think correctly.

If she knew that in Pei Xiaohai's heart, she was nothing but a friendly donor, then she would understand.

These two kids are in the same group, they are more like relatives than family members. Waiya is helping the kids, how could the kids ruin their plans?

Besides, the child knew that Waiya was just trying to scare people, and her money was enough to buy rat poison, but she never thought about it again. It was so good to be alive, with food, drink and fun. If she killed someone, all these would be gone, so she didn't do that.

Pei Da Nu didn't understand it, but she had been with Old Madam Qian for a long time, and knew how to do the right thing. She asked the two children why they wanted to make money, how they made money, and who the pig blood was.

After asking everything, Pei's anger was directed at the Liu family. What kind of people are these? With such a bet, are they asking her to steal or rob? Isn't this forcing the child to do bad things?

After all, she is not her biological child, so she doesn't feel sorry for it no matter how she treats it. It's just a pig, so what's the big deal about raising it? Her eldest son even made friends with mice in order to compete with them for the treasure cave, and she still treated him to delicious food and drink. The little thing is indeed smart and drove away all the other mice... This is not important!

The important thing is that the Liu family can definitely afford to raise a pig. Raising a pig is as easy for them as raising a mouse or a dog. So why would they hurt the child's heart like this?

It’s fine if they don’t want to support her, but does her family really need this meal?

"Come on, I'll go find them with you. I want to ask them what they want to do.

"San'er, Sandi, quickly harness the carriage. I want to go to Puluo Village."

Qian San had been hiding and listening for a long time. He was the nephew of the old donor Qian and the cousin of Qian Daniu. He now worked as a clerk in a wine shop. There was nothing wrong with Pei Danv calling him the third brother.

But he was Qian Daniu's cousin after all, and all he cared about was the Qian family. When he heard him being called, he hurried out: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. It's noon now, and the two children must be hungry. It will take more than a moment to go. Let's eat first. There must be some rules. If there is a quarrel over there, won't my younger sister suffer more over there?"

Pei Da Nu was so angry that she blurted out her thoughts: "What's over there? I can just take it back!"

Qian San said gently, "Okay, okay, the family doesn't need that much food, but we should at least discuss this with Auntie and Aunt Pei, right? When Aunt Pei came yesterday, didn't she say that the girl seemed to be pregnant? She was afraid that having another girl would cause a stir, so she wanted to ask her four younger sisters to stay here temporarily, but she's already very short of space."

The anger above was extinguished in an instant, and Pei Da Nv felt a little uncomfortable and let go of the child's hand.

Her mother-in-law is kindhearted, but no matter what, it has to be about the same...

How can a wife bring a bunch of younger sisters into her home, and let them live there for a long time...

It's good enough that you agreed. If you do something weird again, it will be really bad...

There were still traces of tears on Pei's face, but her attitude had clearly changed: "Little sister and this little sister, you two should go with Uncle San to eat something. I'll ask him to take you back later. Don't worry, I'm not complaining. He'll come back as soon as he takes you back."

Pei Da Nv straightened the child's clothes, and a silver coin slipped through her hand and into the child's lapel.

There was only so much she could do.

The child thought...

Well, she didn't think too much about it.

Pei Xiaohai and Waiya followed Qian San to the kitchen. Of course, there was no shortage of food and drink when running a wine shop, but it was obvious that what they ate were the leftovers from the customers, which were also very delicious, and all the vegetarian dishes were delicious.

Before leaving, Pei Xiaohai held up half an egg and asked Qian Saner, "Can I take this back to feed the cat?"

Qian San naturally wouldn't say no. As long as she didn't want to live in the Qian family, what did a little leftover food matter?

"Okay, just take it. Do you want anything else? You're welcome. Business has been good lately, so there's always a lot left over. If you don't take it, I'll share it with the employees and the neighbors."

Waiya winked at the roast chicken and said, "Take it back to your second uncle, take it back to her, take it back to share, quickly!"

Pei Xiaohai was a little embarrassed and sad, but she thought that if she didn't take it, it would be a waste, and she might not have the chance again in the future.

Even though she doesn't eat meat, she still ordered roast chicken and boiled peanuts.

You’re welcome.

These two things are what Qian San planned to take away.

If they want it, just give it to them. After all, this kid helped save his cousin.

After the two children had eaten and drunk their fill, they wiped their mouths, washed their hands, and climbed onto the ox cart.

"Hold on tight, let's go!"
