Farmer's clever woman busy farming

Chapter 235 The Black Hearted Woman
"Mother, are you back?" Just as Lan Niang finished speaking, a black and thin little boy ran over from the room and hugged her calf tightly.The little guy used his hands very hard, as if he was afraid that if he let go, Lan Niang would disappear.

Lan Niang gently touched the little boy's head, then looked at Gu Jiujiu with a smile and said, "Little lady, this is my son Xiaoshan."

Gu Jiujiu looked at the little boy who suddenly ran out, and saw that he was about the same age as Brother Yan, about ten years old, but probably due to long-term malnutrition, this little boy was shorter than Brother Yan up some.Thinking of the few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus candy that Sister Yuan hadn't finished eating on her body, she decided to take it out and give it to Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus candy in Gu Jiujiu's hand, although he wanted it very much, but he didn't immediately reach for it, but subconsciously looked up at Lan Niang.After Lan Niang nodded in agreement, he thanked obediently, and took the osmanthus candy from Gu Jiujiu's hand.

Lan Niang saw that Xiao Shan had received sweet-scented osmanthus, so she asked Gu Jiujiu and the others to sit in the main room.

Xiao Shan followed behind Lan Niang, before reaching the main room, the little guy's feet gave way and fell to the ground.Seeing Xiao Shan like this, Lan Niang hugged him nervously, "Xiao Shan, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother, I'm hungry." Xiao Shan looked at Lan Niang pitifully, and whispered.

"What?" Lan Niang didn't expect Xiao Shan to say such a thing. After being surprised, she looked at him and said, "Didn't Mother leave fifty catties of rice for you at home? Why are you hungry?"

"The rice at home was taken away by my aunt a few days ago, and now we have nothing to eat at home." Xiao Shan said, his dark eyes dimmed involuntarily.

"This black-hearted woman actually wants to snatch the rice from the child." Lan Niang couldn't help scolding her sister-in-law after hearing Xiao Shan's words.Looking at the child in her arms distressedly, Lan Niang felt even more uncomfortable thinking that he hadn't eaten for a few days just like herself.

Gu Jiujiu looked at Lan Niang and Xiao Shan, and knew that their family not only had no food, but also no copper, so she went to Mei Niang's house to borrow [-] catties of rice, and brought them some eggs.

Lan Niang looked at Gu Jiujiu gratefully, accepted the rice and eggs, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook the rice and fried eggs for Xiao Shan to eat.

Gu Jiujiu watched Xiaoshan eat, sat at Lanniang's house for a while, thought about it, and then gave Lanniang five hundred Wen coins, "You keep this money, you can use it to give to Lanniang at the market. Xiao Shan bought some meat for him to eat, or he could go to the market to buy silk thread and embroidered handkerchiefs for needlework and sell them in the market."

Although five hundred Wen is not much, it is enough for the average family in the village to chew for half a year.

Lan Niang was originally embarrassed to accept this money. She would have to spend at least several months of embroidery work to earn such a large amount of money. However, now their poor family has no penny. Now, both she and the child will have to go hungry. After a moment of hesitation, she accepted the money from Gu Jiujiu, looked at her and said, "Little lady, I will just pretend that I, Lan Niang, borrowed this money from you. In the future , if I earn money, I will definitely return it to you."
