Chapter 5
this kid.

Zhong Liting looked down at her tearful eyes and couldn't help laughing.

I think this should be the kind of fledgling plot taught by my husband before, right?

Standing idly in front of the stone monument at the entrance of the village, Zhong Liting didn't urge him, but just looked down at Ruhuahua, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and said slowly, "My child, believe in brother, it won't be long before you will I forgot my brother."

He didn't get along with this little girl very much, and he didn't even meet him a few times. He felt that within half a month, the little girl probably wouldn't even remember what he looked like.

Looking up at the person in front of her, Ru Hua said firmly, "No, I won't forget my brother."

Zhong Liting didn't take it to heart, just smiled and said casually: "You have a conscience."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Liting took out the packaged pine nut candy from his arms and gave it to her: "Be good, huh?"

The little girl grabbed the hem of his clothes and still had a lot to say: I am very good, I will be very obedient, can you please leave me alone.

So many words, but in the end they clumsily replaced them with one sentence: "Brother..."

Zhong Liting asked: "Is Huahua obedient?"

Ruhuahua nodded again and again: "I listen."

"Good boy." Zhong Liting rubbed her head, squatted down in front of the little girl, took off the cloak on her body and put it on her body, and dexterously tied the cloak around the little girl's neck with her fingers, "The wind outside Daddy, if you are obedient, hurry up with... go back with your uncle and aunt, as long as you are good, brother will come to see you when he is free."

"Really?" Ruhuahua's always dim eyes finally lit up slightly.

"of course."

Zhong Liting gave someone a generous sum of money, and then specially asked the couple, "The child is not too young, and the title may not be changed for a while, so don't force her, take it easy, be patient." Good little girl, treat her well and change people's hearts."

After a pause, he walked in and lowered his voice, "If one day you have your own child and don't want her anymore, contact me and I'll pick her up."

As soon as Zhong Liting left, the woman stretched out her hand to pull Ru Huahua.

Facing the unfamiliar young couple in front of her, Ru Huahua shrank back a little in fear.

"What's wrong?" the woman asked.

Ruhuahua was still afraid, but thinking of her brother saying that she would only come to see her if she behaved well, she mustered up the courage to stretch out her hand again, "Auntie..."

The woman grabbed her hand with one hand and muttered, "I have to call you mother in the future."

Seemingly surprised by the softness of the hands, the young woman lowered her head and glanced at her pair of innocent deer eyes that were as black as ink.

The little girl was wearing a valuable red dress, her facial features were delicate and her skin was delicate, her every gesture was extravagant, and her whole body exuded a kind of nobility that no one in the countryside could have.

The woman looked at herself again, she was dressed in a half-worn hairpin skirt, her face was sallow, her ten fingers were rough and her fingertips were covered with calluses, it was really hard not to feel ashamed of herself.

mother?
Ruhua opened her mouth, but for some reason, she couldn't scream.

The woman didn't like this little girl who made her feel inferior and jealous, so she didn't deliberately accommodate her steps, she dragged her along the way and stumbled, and they stopped after walking for about a stick of incense.

Ru Hua looked up curiously.

In front of it is a half-old farmhouse, a small yard surrounded by fences, and three or five thatched cottages are located in the middle of it. There is a circle around the open space, and a shed is set up. Chickens can be heard faintly.

The man next to him stepped forward and opened the wooden door, and the woman dragged Ru Hua directly into the yard.

The woman led her to the door of a small room on the right, and said, "This will be your room from now on, go in, don't run around if you have nothing to do."

Ruhuahua still wanted to ask something, but she was pushed in by the woman, and the door slammed shut.

The hut is a bit dark, only a little light can be seen from the paper window on one side. The room is filled with a strange musty smell, mixed with some dusty smell, and it's a bit cold. It looks like a flower. Looking around, I found a thin crack on the wall surrounded by soil embryos on the west side of the room, and the cold wind was blowing in.

Ru Huahua stood in the middle of the hut in a daze, and looked inside for a long time, only to see a simple small bed made of bricks and planks, covered with a layer of dry straw, and a gray bedding was pressed on the straw. I can't tell what color it is originally, but just looking at it makes people feel cold and hard.

She leaned forward and sniffed lightly, the bedding had an indescribably musty smell.

strangeness.

She raised her head, blinking puzzledly.

The quilts in the barracks all have a faint scent of acacia, but the quilts here smell strange.

Is it dirty?

Dirty things should be washed before use.

She wanted to ask her aunt, but as soon as she opened the door, she heard a voice coming through the wooden door next door.

It was a male voice at the beginning, a little rough, and sounded extremely excited, "Don't look at the luggage, where is the wallet, open it quickly and have a look, the wallet is full of money, must be a lot of money?!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." The woman's voice was accompanied by clanging and bumping sounds.

"Fuck! So much money!" The man's voice was filled with joy, "A loser is so valuable!"

"Be quiet!"

"Small!" The man's voice couldn't hide his excitement, "So much money, I didn't expect that little girl to be so valuable. I thought it was an oil bottle that no one wanted, and I almost lost my eye."

The woman still had some concerns: "Will those soldiers come back later?"

"What are you afraid of? You didn't hear the people who came to inquire before them say that this girl was picked up by them on the road. She was originally wanted by no one. After finally letting go, who would care? Besides, there is a constant war on the border. It’s impossible to tell when they will transfer to the other end to fight, they are all those who have today and no tomorrow.”

The woman gradually felt relieved, and went to look through her luggage again, "Hey, look at the clothes they brought here, they are all brand new and of good material, I have never touched them before..."

"Okay, okay, look at you who have never seen the world," the man said impatiently, "Pawn these clothes at a pawnshop later, how many clothes can't be bought?"

Ruhuahua pushed open the door in front of her in a daze: "Auntie..."

"Why are you here?" The woman raised her eyebrows coldly.

"mine……"

"Your? You are all ours, eat ours, live in ours, and this little stuff is not worth the rent!" The woman was not happy, spat, and shouted, "You little white-eyed wolf! Now that the wings haven't grown hard yet, are the elbows going to turn outward?!"

The little girl stood where she was, her head gradually lowered, "I didn't..."

"What are you muttering there?" the woman urged impatiently, "go out if you have nothing to do, and you won't even think about eating at night if you keep yelling."

The man folded his arms and watched the show.

Ru Hua hurriedly ran out of the house.
