After being picked up by the prince, Xiaojiaohua is wild and sassy

Chapter 7 Late Regret

Recognizing the person, Ru Huahua straightened her waist, wiped the water stains on her hands in a panic, and grinned at the pain of the wound for a while, but ran quickly to open the fence door for the two of them .

"elder brother!"

"That's right, I haven't forgotten my brother for so long." Zhong Liting lifted his lips and smiled.

"Hey, kid, what about me? Such a big living person is beside me." Wei Ling yelled.

Ruhuahua immediately called sweetly: "Brother Wei!"

Wei Ling said: "You are so good, brother brought you candy."

Ruhuahua opened the door, and the two walked in one after the other.

A while ago, it happened to be the New Year. Zhong Liting returned to the palace years ago. After spending the New Year in the capital, he came back after the new year and was busy consolidating the training that was slack during the New Year. Therefore, after nearly three months, Zhong Liting took time out to come and see Look.

Because today is Xiumu, Wei Ling was idle in the barracks all by himself, so he walked with Zhong Liting on a whim.

It's not easy to go to other people's houses empty-handed. Before the two came, they went to the town market to buy some meat, seasonal vegetables, and some small snacks such as candies and candied fruit for children.

The two of them entered the door, put the things in their hands aside, and then took the time to look at the person carefully.

Seeing this, both of them were stunned.

Wei Ling was a little surprised and said, "Little girl, who hit you?"

Zhong Liting didn't speak, and observed the person from head to toe first.

It's just the beginning of spring now, and it's still a bit cold in the spring, and the temperature fluctuates greatly, but the little girl is only wearing a slightly thin coarse cloth skirt, and the clothes are a little baggy because they don't fit well. On the girl's face, one could vaguely see a red palm print, and the corners of the girl's mouth were a little dry, cracked and bleeding, whether it was from a beating or from the freezing weather.

Perhaps it was because the little girl was too white, the palm print looked shocking.

Zhong Liting's face darkened suddenly, he cursed something in a low voice, and walked straight into the main room.

As soon as he took a step, the robe was grabbed by someone.

Zhong Liting lowered his head, looked at the tiny scars on her hands, frowned, and didn't speak for a while.

Ru Huahua raised her head, staring at Zhong Liting with clear black eyes, as if puzzled, "Where is brother going?"

She was quite strong, but if Zhong Liting insisted on leaving, Ru Huahua's small arms and legs would not be able to stop him.

Wei Ling at the side seemed to have guessed something, quickly grabbed Zhong Liting's arm, and said anxiously: "Brother, brother! Don't get excited, let's ask the matter first anyway."

Zhong Liting turned his head, his eyes were sharper than he himself expected, revealing the prelude to the coming storm.

Beside Ruhuahua trembled in fright, subconsciously withdrew her hand.

Wei Ling shouted: "Brother!"

Zhong Liting took a deep breath, slowly retracted his legs, glanced at the red mark on the little girl's face, did not poke the little girl's wound directly, but asked tactfully, "Huahua, how are they treating you?"

Ru Huahua raised her head, her slender and upturned eyelashes flickering: "Aunt and Uncle? They don't come home very often."

Zhong Liting said slowly: "Really? What did Huahua do here?"

"I can do a lot of things!" Ru Huahua pointed to the well, "I was fetching water just now, but the water I finally fetched was frightened by my brother and fell down again." She said, shaking her fist slightly annoyed. He tapped his head lightly and murmured unconsciously, "The bucket is so heavy..."

The grievance in the words makes people feel sad.

Wei Ling at the side interjected: "You are only a little older, and you can still draw water, so you are not afraid of falling into the well."

Zhong Liting continued to ask: "You yourself? What are you doing fetching water?"

"Wash the clothes."

The two looked over there, only to notice that there was a large wooden basin not far from the well, in which several clothes were soaked, and there was a pile of clothes like the hill next to it.

Wei Ling exclaimed, "So many?"

Zhong Liting frowned: "You wash so many clothes by yourself?"

He has been in the military camp for so many years, and he has been in a group with the soldiers below, and he also understands the reason why children from poor families should be in charge of the family early. How long have you been saving?Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it, let alone such a big child washing alone, and it was so cold that there was no hot water.

"Uncle and aunt's clothes, and clothes from the neighbor's aunt's house," Ru Huahua tilted her head and explained seriously, "The neighbor's aunt gave money to uncle and aunt, so I can earn money now, brother."

Wei Ling nana said: "Our Huahua is really sensible..."

The smile on Zhong Liting's face would completely disappear, he took a deep breath, his chest heaved, and he tried hard to suppress the urge to get angry.

This little friend swallowed all the grievances and unwillingness by himself, digested all the unhappiness and sadness by himself, only a few words revealed no complaints, and the sensible one made people feel distressed.

The well-to-do family he had specially sought at the beginning, although not rich and powerful, at least had enough food and clothing, and he paid a lot of money. These people use children as tools to make money?
He was angry that the family didn't handle personnel affairs, and angry that he didn't investigate more carefully.

Wei Ling couldn't help but ask, "Son, what did you do to your face?"

Ruhuahua touched her cheek subconsciously, and she frowned due to the dull pain.

"Someone beat you?" Zhong Liting asked.

Ru Huahua pursed her lips in embarrassment, covered her cheeks with her fingers, and only answered in a low voice under Wei Ling's repeated questioning, "...Auntie."

The anger that Zhong Liting had just suppressed burst out again, "Do you often hit you?"

"No," Ru Huahua shook her head and said softly, "I can't do housework well, and I always make my aunt angry."

She said, raised her head again, and said seriously, "But now I can do a lot of things well, I can learn them all, I'm not stupid at all!"

Although she still makes mistakes occasionally, she can work hard to correct them.

Zhong Liting hummed: "Huahua is awesome."

In the silence, Ruhuahua's stomach suddenly let out a cry, which was extraordinarily loud at such a time.

Ruhuahua didn't care, she pressed her stomach, turned around and walked towards the well, "Brother, you sit down first, I can't talk to you anymore, it's getting late, and I can't finish washing clothes at night, auntie will scold me."

Zhong Liting asked calmly, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Huh?" Ru Huahua turned her head in a daze, "I burned the pot when I cooked in the morning, and my aunt was very angry, so she fined me not to eat."

"What about noon?"

"I won't eat at noon." The little girl said seriously, "Auntie and the others won't come back at noon."

Wei Ling couldn't help complaining, "Is this meal a day trying to starve you to death?"

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it does make sense. Such a big girl is still growing, can she stand such a toss?
