C54 (1/2)
After hurriedly finishing their breakfast, the coachman, who had previously agreed to be delivered back and forth at the appointed hour, had already arrived.
Su Zhi tidied everything up in a fluster, hugged the two adorable children and warned, ”A Jin, mom has something important to do today and will be back very late. Go to Aunt Bai's house next door after you and your sister have some porridge, be good.”
A Jin nodded obediently and smiled at her. ”Mother, don't be too tired. Sister and I both live well. A Jin eats too little, so it's not expensive at all.”
Hearing this, Su Zhi's heart warmed.
The moment she stepped out of the door, she met Aunt Bai who was picking vegetables from the fields.
”Yo, Lil 'Su, you left so quickly.”
”Yes, Aunt Bai, I've troubled you so much these past few days, I'm sorry.”
She looked at Su Zhi's pointy chin and said worriedly, ”I see that you've decreased a lot recently. You're too tired from getting up early and taking advantage of the dark, although the expenses for the two children are huge, you have to pay attention to your body. If you don't have enough support, you can find a stepfather and you'll be fine.”
Su Zhi took Aunt Bai's hand and passed a bottle of perfume from her bosom to her.
”Let's talk about this later. If you can hold on, hold on.”
After saying her goodbyes, Su turned around and got on the carriage, quickly disappearing into the alleyway.
A Jin finished her meal, took her keys with her and went to Aunt Bai's house next door.
As he walked out of the courtyard, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He pushed the bean bag into the door of Aunt Bai's house and said, ”Be good, little sister. Big brother will go and pay you a visit. You can go to Grandma Bai first.”
After instructing the small bean bag over and over again, Ah Jin closed the door and hurriedly ran back to the cottage in the courtyard.
In the deserted courtyard, Dou Qi stood in a daze. When she saw that her brother didn't follow her, she turned her head and pushed open the door, stepping out of Aunt Bai's house.
She looked around her surroundings. It was unknown what she was thinking of as she smiled happily. She clapped her hands and muttered to herself, ”I want father ~”
They walked along the main road towards the outside of the alleyway.
At this moment, a carriage slowly approached from the distance. However, the cynical man could not stop his irritation.
”Lu Si, are you sure she lives like this?”
The driver's attendant replied respectfully, ”That must be right, Your Highness. This little one has investigated everything thoroughly.”
Lu Huan Zhi rolled his eyes impatiently, ”What kind of crappy place is this? The road is too hard to walk on. There's not even a piece of limestone on top of it. It's really difficult to walk in the rain.”
Spring Leaf Lane connected a stretch of the road to North Street, about 900 meters of muddy trail, after rain will be potholed, uneven.
A man used to living like a prince does not like this deserted path,
On the other side, Dou Zi was walking alone out the door. A pair of small shoes the size of his palm were soaked in mud.
After the rain, the little girl stepped into the water puddle. Her feet slipped, and with a plop, she fell into the yellow mud, falling to the ground. The little child who tripped on the mud cried out in grievance. However, there was no one around him, and no one would coax him even if he fell in pain.
With tears in her eyes, she sniffed and struggled to get up.
As the horse carriage approached, a pitiful looking little mud puddle stared at Lu Si who was driving the carriage. Lu Li muttered a few words as if he was asking for help.
”Eh? Which family's child is this? It's just like a mud monkey. ”Go away, go to the side. The brothers are going to do some serious work.”
Lu Huan was impatient to begin with. Once she heard that someone was blocking the way and that it was a little brat, she was immediately on fire. She pulled open the curtain and was about to curse.
The little girl, whose body was covered in mud, blinked her big black eyes as she stared pitifully at him. Perhaps it was because she fell too hard, but even her little face was covered in mud. It was both pitiful and laughable.
His heart skipped a beat and he immediately softened. ”Which family's child is this? Why is she so virtuous?”
”I don't know. I think it was brought out by someone else. There have been a lot of abandonment of female infants these past few years.”
Lu Huan sized the little girl up, and when she said that she wanted father, she was a bit puzzled, ”What is this little girl saying, that she wants father? ”Who should I call father?”
”Hey, little girl, who's your father?”
The small bean bun Yi Yi Wu was unable to explain clearly. Both of her hands seemed to be making gestures, like pulling a bow.
Seeing this, Lu Huan Zhi became impatient. He waved his hand and urged, ”Forget it, forget it. Hurry up and send them away.”
Lu Si took out a little toy from his bosom and threw it at the little girl, half lying to her: ”Hehe, take it, hurry up, go play on the side.”
