"Manager Jin, I have another favor to ask..."

"Please speak, Madam Lu."

"Could we pay a partial deposit?" Lu Qingyao thought to herself, knowing that she would definitely need to find villagers to dig up these bamboo shoots together.

The money naturally needs to be paid in advance.

With a deposit in hand, you won't be short of money.

Manager Jin smiled and said, "Of course, then let's pay five taels of silver first, and the rest after inspection, how about that?"

Although this Madam Lu seemed shrewd, she didn't appear to have any business experience.

However, he is a very straightforward person.

Lu Qingyao readily agreed and nodded in agreement.

The talks went much more smoothly than I expected.

The whole process took less than an hour.

After delivering the goods, Lu Qingyao treated Jiang Yunhu and his wife to a good meal at Yipinju Restaurant.

Roasted pork skin and meat, crispy crystal sashimi, roasted mutton, eight-treasure duck, crispy jade leaf...

Lu Qingyao introduced them one by one.

Liu Yuniang was so excited by the table full of delicious food that she couldn't speak.

She had lived half her life and had never eaten such a sumptuous meal.

The food we eat during Chinese New Year isn't even half as good as this.

He put down his chopsticks after eating half of the food. "Sister-in-law, could you talk to the waiter and pack up the rest to take home? I want Qiao'er and my mother-in-law to try some too."

"Sister-in-law, eat as much as you want. I've already had the waiter pack Qiao'er and Feng'er's food separately."

Jiang Yunhu turned his face away and wiped away his tears.

Lu Qingyao's nose suddenly felt sore.

If my elder brother had been a little more selfish back then, he wouldn't have lent Jiang Yunze that money.

His legs won't be lame.

With the eldest brother's abilities, his family is probably one of the wealthiest in the village by now.

It won't be that difficult.

Lu Qingyao took Liu Yuniang's hand, "Sister-in-law, we earned eleven taels of silver from selling bamboo shoots this time, plus a five-tael deposit. We can sell even more bamboo shoots in the future, and things will only get better for us..."

"Eleven taels! So much!!" Liu Yuniang was dumbfounded, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

This is money that his family would have to save for a year to accumulate.

I actually made money in just one day.

Lu Qingyao was both amused and exasperated, truly afraid that Liu Yuniang would go back and tell everyone.

"Sister-in-law...you mustn't tell anyone about this!"

Liu Yuniang put away her exaggerated expression and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course, my husband said that wealth should not be flaunted."

Although the day went very smoothly, Lu Qingyao was still anxious and couldn't stop worrying about her child at home.

He left five taels of silver with Jiang Yunhu and hurriedly returned with Jiang Ziyan.

I should be home before sunset.

......

Jiang Miaomiao fell asleep in the fat woman's arms.

When I opened my eyes again, I was met with a round, chubby face.

Jiang Miaomiao was still a little groggy from sleep.

Looking at the unfamiliar fat woman in front of him, he suddenly remembered that she and his older brother had been robbed of their money.

How could she be so carefree? She actually fell asleep.

But I'm hungry, so hungry!

You won't let me cry, huh? Then give me milk.

A three-month-old baby needs to be breastfed.

So, the chubby woman, who was half asleep, felt someone taking off her clothes.

It tickled her until she felt a pleasant tingling sensation.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from my chest.

"Ah! I'm going to die!" The fat woman was startled and suddenly woke up.

By moonlight.

She saw the little baby lying on her chest...

“Bah, bah, bah~~~”

The fat woman gasped and tried to pry the baby away.

He cursed, "Damn little thing, I should have strangled you just now."

How can a toothless little creature bite so painfully?

And he's so strong.

No matter how hard I try, I can't pry it open; the more I try, the more it hurts...

Jiang Miaomiao used every ounce of her strength.

The fat woman lifted the curtain and said through gritted teeth, "Husband, quickly go find some cow's milk or goat's milk."

"Isn't it annoying? Why are you making such a fuss?" The scarred man turned around impatiently, glanced at the man, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~~~"

"Hahaha~~~"

His laughter echoed in the air.

"Laugh, laugh, have you laughed enough?" The fat woman's face turned red with anger.

Seeing that his wife was angry, the scarred man immediately shut his mouth.

"Wife, does the little thing think of you as her mother? Why don't we raise her and let her be our son's child bride after we have a son?"

Jiang Miaomiao: ......

You wish! I'm afraid you won't be able to have them.

The fat woman rolled her eyes at the scarred man, "Dream on!"

She dared not say that she could no longer have children.

I took too many contraceptives in brothels in previous years and had several miscarriages.

I will never be able to have a baby again!

She hates children.

Especially pretty girls.

But the husband desperately wanted a child.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept this little thing.

The scarred man parked his car on the edge of a village and came out a short while later carrying a can of milk.

He handed it to the fat woman, saying, "Here, this thing is really expensive! It cost me several tens of coins."

The fat woman rolled her eyes at him again, "You good-for-nothing, why did you pay me? You should have just chopped him off."

"Forget it, let's do some good deeds for our unborn son."

The fat woman stopped talking when she saw that he kept bringing up his son.

He held the milk to Jiang Miaomiao's lips, saying, "Little thing, hurry up and eat, or you'll burst!"

Jiang Miaomiao smelled the milky aroma and couldn't bear to torture her any longer.

He started slurping his milk.

After all, you need to be well-fed to have the energy to think.

Jiang Zifeng woke up from the woman's scream, but kept his eyes closed and pretended to be unconscious.

He was physically strong, so the effects of the medicine wore off quickly.

I wish I could slap myself a few times.

If he hadn't been so greedy and eaten that candied hawthorn, he wouldn't have been slapped.

She lifted her eyelids slightly and saw that her younger sister was safe and sound and getting milk, which made her feel a little better.

I wonder if Mother has come back yet?

Did you notice they were being swindled?

Will they come looking for them?

After finishing her milk, Jiang Miaomiao sucked on her fingers, her eyes darting around.

Thinking about something...

She was certain she had superpowers, except that she had spoken to them in her baby talk and the chirping of birds.

I haven't used it on other small animals before, so I don't know if they can understand it.

If you don't want her to cry, then at least she can scream.

Then the adorable little baby waved his tiny hands and giggled at the fat woman.

Then it started babbling again.

The scarred man lifted the curtain and peeked out. "What's wrong with the little one?"

"You're happy now that you're full! You heartless little thing, you can still laugh even after being kidnapped. You seem to have no conscience either." The fat woman said impatiently.

They left her in a corner of the carriage.

Jiang Miaomiao rolled and rolled... rolled and rolled...

He rolled over to his older brother's side.

The older brother opened his eyes, looked at her, and winked at her.

Jiang Miaomiao reached out her little hand and touched her brother's face.

Brother, don't be afraid...

It started babbling again.

"Awoo awoo~~~ Awoo awoo~~~"

She had no idea what she would end up shouting out...
