After Ming Huaying came back, he saw one more person.

Several people gathered in a circle and looked down at the middle. From time to time, the group of people laughed "chichi".

Ji Huatao's face turned red, and he lowered his head and yelled: "Shut up."

Not only did the sound not stop, it actually got louder and louder.

If Xiaofeng hadn't pulled him, Ji Huatao wouldn't have cared about whether the child was a child or not. He would have educated him first.

"Whose family do you belong to? Why did you come to someone else's house?"

There was no answer, only a slight hum as if to express dissatisfaction.

Ming Huaying put the shovel back to its original place, but these people didn't know if they were too curious and didn't even notice her approaching.

In desperation, he hid his left hand, which was covered with soil, and covered the bunch of ungrown flowers with his sleeve.

She stood outside the circle of people and asked aloud: "What happened?"

In front of her was Ji Huatao. She clearly saw the man's body trembling and he almost jumped away.

And the voice laughed out loud again.

Ji Huatao couldn't bear it anymore, shook off the hand holding her, rolled up her sleeves and was about to start educating her.

Ming Huaying went over and took her arm, stopping her and saying, "A Tao."

Fu lowered his head and looked at the instigator. He looked to be only five or six years old. His hair showed signs of being combed, but it was still very frizzy.

The fallen bangs blocked her eyebrows and almost stuck into her eyes, but those eyes were full of smiles at the moment, without any feeling of being hindered by the hair.

Ming Huaying knelt down and looked at her level, and said warmly: "Why are you here? Sister, can I take you home?"

The smile stopped, and there was no emotion on the dark and thin face. His eyes stared straight at Ming Huaying, and the clear pupils reflected the appearance of the person in front of him.

Ming Huaying waited patiently for her answer. When she realized that the other party wanted to touch the thing in her hand, she withdrew her left hand, shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "No."

Xiao Fucao curled his lips as if unconvinced, stood up, patted himself, and stretched out his hand in front of Ming Huaying.

Seeing that the other party didn't move for a long time, she became a little anxious, lowered her head and said: "Can you take me back?"

The voice was young but steady, as clear and crisp as a child's, but also as calm as pretending to be an adult.

Ming Huaying was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing. She held the hand and stood up, replying: "Of course."

The few people walking behind were filled with doubts, especially Ji Huatao, who couldn't hide his thoughts.

She almost wanted to rush forward, shake Ming Huaying's body and shout, "Do you know whose child it is, just pick it up and take it home?" Xiaofeng felt that the hand holding Ji Huatao was being squeezed to numbness.

It wasn't until they walked some distance that they realized something was wrong.

This is not the way back to Jie Xige.

Ji Huatao looked at the three words "Mingxinfu" shining brightly on the plaque and felt his eyes hurt. Fortunately, he did not stop Minghuaying directly, otherwise he would have to be laughed at again.

The yamen officer on duty recognized who the person was, stepped forward and said, "Why is Miss Ming here?"

He looked at the person being led again: "This is it?"

Ming Huaying pulled her back with skill and replied, "I accidentally picked up a child. Please find her family."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Ji Huatao, causing the yamen servant to follow suit.

Ji Huatao has never wanted to go home and see no one so much as today.

Although I thought their reaction was a bit strange, I still accepted the child.

Ming Huaying looked directly into the eyes that stared at her, raised her index finger and shook it in front of her eyes: "Remember, don't trust anyone."

She pinched the little flesh on the other person's cheek and added: "Including me."

Xiao FuChuang was about to rush over immediately, but unexpectedly the person in front of him had already withdrawn his hand, and he was unable to match the strength of the adult and was pulled behind.

The yamen officer separated the two of them and thought of something and said, "Master Xu is inside. Miss Ming, would you like to meet him?"

Ming Huaying shook his head: "I won't disturb you, we will go back first."

"Okay, girl, walk slowly."

Ming Huaying held the flower in her left hand and couldn't help but rub it as if feeling life, even though her fingertips were stained with soil.

Ji Huatao walked beside her and looked back at the door of Mingxin Mansion. There was no one there anymore.

"My parents don't know how thin they have become when they come out to look for her."

Ming Huaying lowered her right hand and said with a smile: "Who thought of beating someone just now?"

"I was..." Ji Huatao hesitated, and simply turned his face away and refused to answer.

Ming Huaying stopped teasing her and walked away from the sun, followed step by step by the four people behind her.

"Did you find her at Ming's house?"

"No." Ji Huatao couldn't help but get angry when he recalled that scene. He was actually laughed at by a little girl.

When I saw the hair on her head, I wanted to mess it up.

Maybe the expression on her face was too conspicuous, which made Ming Huaying surprised. She didn't expect that Ji Huatao was quite suitable for playing with children.

Ji Huatao coughed lightly to stop the thoughts in his mind: "I was playing with Xiaofeng, but he kicked the stone and laughed at me. I haven't settled the account with this kid for scaring people in broad daylight."

Who would have thought that there would be a person hiding in the courtyard of an ordinary person's house, without a trace, and just hearing laughter would give him goosebumps.

Fortunately, it was during the day. If it were at night, Ji Huatao thought she might not be able to come back awake.

Shaking her head to stop those horrific scenes, she looked ahead and saw Jie Xige. She thought of the people behind her and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What should we do with these people? We don't have room for them to live there."

Ming Huaying said without squinting: "I didn't say let them live with us."

If nothing else, it would be unaccustomed to a man suddenly living in the house.

Ming Huaying thought about this, opened the door and found a small box and handed it to the people outside: "This is your contract of betrayal. If you decide where to go in the future, I won't hold you back."

The four of them hesitated. Guo Er stretched out his hand and then lowered it: "Girl, this..."

The box was stretched forward again, and Guo Er took it, full of gratitude.

They were worried along the way, and they only asked Ming Huaying to make a living. Guo Er thought about his plan. If he couldn't get the deed of betrayal, it would be a good idea to just follow Ming Huaying.

But they didn't expect that Ming Huaying would directly give them the deed of betrayal.

"You have also seen what is done here. Two people need to watch the front and greet the people who come. The backyard needs to take care of the flowers and plants and deal with some necessary things."

Ming Huaying saw them nodding in understanding, and then continued: "We can eat together every day, and if we pay..."

Guo Er said hurriedly: "Young people don't have any requirements."

Ming Huaying waved her hand and said with a smile: "Now that you have left the Ming family, you don't need to consider yourself a servant, and you don't need to call me 'big girl' in the future."

The four nodded.

"but……"

As soon as she changed her topic, several people became nervous again, fearing that something would go wrong.

"You need to find your own accommodation."

Guo Er felt relieved, patted a few people around him, and said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I have a house to hide from the wind and rain. It's enough for Meng Laosan to live in, and everyone in the family doesn't have any objections."

"That's OK." Ming Huaying said, "You go back to rest for a while today, and come back tomorrow morning to get familiar with each other."
