After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Liu Yong looked solemn, turned his head and walked toward the yard.

At the same time, he moved his right hand behind his back.

Liu Guang, Liu Ming, and Xiao Miaomiao understood and imitated their elder brother's example, and tiptoed in line to leave.

The back yard of this inn was very large, so the four little ones found a secluded corner to squat down.

On one side is a rockery that can be hidden, and Hongdoubao squats on a high place, taking charge of vigilance.

Liu Guangxian sighed, "Oh! I stay in an inn every day and eat well every day."

"I knew something was going to happen sooner or later!"

Liu Ming looked sideways, "Mom, don't you want us to live a better life?"

"Look, you've gained weight and grown taller!"

Liu Guang lowered his head and pressed his feet against the ice that had formed on the ground, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not saying what she did was wrong."

"She has to feed us nine mouths, and she has supported us all the way until now. It's already great enough."

Liu Yong remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only now did he speak and said, "Looking back, we ate and drank well every meal."

"No one is cold or hungry."

"They say that if you don't live in a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. It's really not easy for her."

The four little ones sighed in unison.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Miaomiao raised her head and looked at everyone in turn with her black grape-like eyes, even the oolong and red bean buns.

"Mom is almost out of money now, are we all responsible?"

The three brothers raised their heads and looked at Xiao Miaomiao.

Since following her stepmother to escape into the Central Plains, Xiao Miaomiao has become more and more fluent in speaking.

Liu Guang answered on behalf of everyone, "Yes, yes."

Xiao Miaomiao stood up and put her hands on her hips, "Should we do something for my mother and this family?"

"Yes," Liu Ming said, holding his hands, "How can we just sit back and wait for death!"

Liu Guang clenched his fist, "That's right, there are so many of us alive, I don't believe we can't think of a way!"

Liu Yong pondered, "We should indeed do something,"

"If we are short of money, we have to make money. How can we make money..."

Xiao Miaomiao pointed her little hand toward the ground and then toward the sky.

The brothers looked along and saw the oolong first, and then the red bean buns.

They looked at each other and smiled as they finally figured out the answer.

In the room, Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi were still talking.

Li Yuanzhi: "Your three southern red agate carvings are of excellent quality and have novel colors."

"Especially the white one with a light pink tint, I was the one who missed it before."

"The finished product is delicate yet elegant. I'm afraid you can't find the second one on the market in Beijing today."

Jiang Xiaohua said, "This kind of light color should be more popular among young ladies than full-fleshed red agate."

"I heard that the rich and powerful people in the capital spend their money like water."

She grinned like a profiteer, "I plan to use a piece of sculpture to exchange for a small yard."

Li Yuanzhi looked at her and smiled, "I'm afraid it's more than enough."

Jiang Xiaohua propped her chin up with her hands, feeling a little troubled, "There are also those pearls I picked up and so on."

"The price in Beijing is good. I plan to sell them all, plus two other carvings."

“I don’t know if the start-up capital for business is enough?”

Li Yuanzhi said, "If it is a prosperous shop in the east and west cities of the capital..."

"The price of a tenancy is a gold coin, and the selling price of a shop is even more astonishing."

"Alas..." Jiang Xiaohua sighed quietly, "I'm still too poor."

"Li Yuanzhi, our road of struggle still has a long way to go. You have to work hard."

At this time, Jiang Xiaohua, who was so "poor" that she just bought a house in the capital, didn't know yet.

The four cubs of my family are working hard to make money...

Jiang Xiaohua finished two cups of hot tea and felt a little hungry.

She stood up and decided to call the children and go to the market to buy something to eat.

By the time Li Yuanzhi locked the door and came out, Jiang Xiaohua had already searched around the inn several times.

Jiang Xiaohua turned to him and said anxiously, "The waiter said that those four brats left before the incense was burned!"

Li Yuanzhi was also a little worried, but still comforted Jiang Xiaohua:

"Don't panic, they must be playing around here."

"Yong'er is the most mature and stable person. With him here, he won't let those three little ones fool around!"

Jiang Xiaohua said, "But! They also bring oolong and red bean buns."

"Even Daqing is no longer in the horse pen."

The veins on Li Yuanzhi's forehead twitched, and he and Jiang Xiaohua immediately ran towards the door.

This inn is right next to the West Market.

Li Yuanzhi estimated that the children would walk towards the lively places, so the two of them ran towards the West Market.

Seeing a tea stall on the roadside along the way, Jiang Xiaohua stopped and asked:

"Excuse me, old man, have you ever seen four little children, three boys and one girl passing by?"

The old man who set up the stall immediately answered, "Oh! Do the four dolls you are talking about have foreign accents, including mules, gray wolves, and monkeys?"

Jiang Xiaohua broke into a cold sweat, this feature was indeed too conspicuous.

"That's right, he's my son."

The old man raised his hand and pointed at the entrance of the West Market, "Let's go into the market."

Jiang Xiaohua put down her penny for tea, thanked her father-in-law, and entered the West Market with Li Yuanzhi.

The West Market in Qincheng is similar to the capital city.

There are no high-rise buildings, and there are many small shops and street vendors.

The goods are mainly used by ordinary people for their daily needs, and there are many vendors and goons coming and going on the streets.

Therefore, it is also the first choice place for jugglers.

Jiang Xiaohua searched for traces of her son in the crowd.

But I saw many people gathered at the fork ahead, blocking the center of the intersection.

Jiang Xiaohua was anxious to find someone, so she prepared to go around the side road.

At this time, two women passed by, taking small hurried steps, laughing and talking as they walked.

One of them said, "You said there were children performing juggling in the front? Is it really that interesting?"

The other one said firmly, "Interesting! I saw it before I went back and asked you to come."

"Four little dolls are cute enough."

"They also have monkeys and wolves. That wolf has a mane, so beautiful!"

Jiang Xiaohua stopped and looked at Li Yuanzhi stiffly.

The two of them ran quickly towards the intersection ahead...

There were so many people watching the excitement that the crowd was packed.

Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi squeezed in hard.

I could only hear the cheers and applause from the front.

The two worked hard for a while, and finally managed to show their heads and saw the performance in the middle of the circle of people.

At this time, Daqing and Oolong appeared.

Da Qing stood in the middle of the field, and Liu Guang stood beside Da Qing.

He waved his hand majestically and said, "Oolong! Jump!"

Oolong made a short run, jumped up in the air, and jumped over Da Qing's head.

Wulong landed firmly and cupped Xiao Miaomiao's hand with his head.

There was thunderous applause.

Li Yuanzhi wanted to call out to the four little ones, but Jiang Xiaohua stopped him, "Don't call."

"I just want to see what kind of tricks this grassroots team can come up with."
