The Little Lucky Girl

So someone immediately took action and went home to pick up the child.

Many of the onlookers left. Seeing that fewer people were paying attention to her, Aunt Zhang stuffed her own grandson in with the group of children who had handed in eggs, hoping to take advantage of Ming Youyou's thin skin and the fact that she was embarrassed to speak out, so that she could get away with it.

Can Ming Youyou, who grew up in a rouge shop, spoil her?

Of course that is not possible.

She remembered what her mother said when dealing with difficult customers, "I think your skin is good, so it's okay if you don't use this facial cream. You can just wash your face with chrysanthemum water when you go home. Why spend the money?"

So she said to Aunt Zhang: "I think Tiedan is fine. It doesn't matter if we don't change the name. Why waste eggs?"

The villagers nearby smiled and responded, "That's right, from now on, a name like Tiedan will be unique in our village."

Another one also said: "My Dazhu has a new name, let's give this name to your family, you can also call it Tiezhu."

Tiedan could already tell the difference between good and bad, so he burst into tears and sat on the ground, howling, "I don't want to be called Tiedan anymore, they will laugh at me, Shitou and Dachui have changed their names, they both sound good, I want to change too, I must change."

Finally, Aunt Zhang took the crying child home, and after a while, the child came back with eggs.

Ming Youyou took it happily, not knowing that under a big tree in the distance, Village Chief Guo, her grandfather and grandfather were watching her.

Old Man Ming said to Village Chief Guo, "Second brother, you have to keep an eye on her and make sure no one bullies my granddaughter."

Village Chief Guo said, "Don't worry, big brother. Didn't you see my son and grandson standing over there? Besides, you can see that our granddaughter is very smart. No one can bully her."

The village chief saw that Old Man Ming's eyes were red, so he suggested: "Why don't you go see the child later, brother?"

Old Man Ming was very tempted and was about to agree, but Grandpa Yang next to him coughed, and Old Man Ming stopped talking.

A few days ago, the two old men received a letter from Ming Dalang and learned that their child had suffered a serious crime. They cried quietly for several nights.

The letter told them not to act on their own and to listen to Magistrate Tao if anything happened. The two old men didn't know what the rules were and were afraid of causing trouble for their children, so they waited at home.

Just a few days ago, Village Chief Guo delivered the news, and the two old men could no longer hold back and decided to come over secretly to take a look at the child.

Old Man Ming handed the large and small bags in his hand to Village Chief Guo, "Find a chance to send these foods to the child. She looks so thin. She must have suffered a lot on the road. She needs to be well nourished."

Village Chief Guo nodded and took it. "Don't worry, big brother. I'll do it when I get back."

He looked at the basket of eggs on the ground again, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you take these eggs back first? I can't say much about the big girl, but she definitely has plenty of eggs. I guess she has half of the eggs in the village now."

Ming Youyou and the others were starving, and they were ravenous at the sight of eggs, so they were reluctant to exchange their harvests from the past few days for copper coins and took them all back to eat.

Ming Youyou eats a big bowl of steamed egg custard for one meal, and Zheng Huan and his friends eat seven or eight boiled eggs each. They have briefly achieved egg freedom these few days.

Finally, he was so tired of eating that he took out sixty eggs and planned to exchange them for a chicken from the village chief.

The village chief not only sold her a chicken, but also made chicken soup for her, put it in a clay pot and asked her to take it carefully with a basket.

Then the village chief took out another sixty cents and told her that it was exchanged for eggs.

Ming Youyou was a little confused. The eggs were exchanged for money, so where did the chicken come from?

The village chief opened the jar a little and let her smell it.

A familiar herbal scent came from the earthenware jar, and Ming Youyou instantly understood that her grandfather and her great-grandfather had been here and these things were brought by them.

Ming Youyou felt a little sad. She had just found out a few days ago that exiled people could not leave the village at will. They had to have the consent of their superiors.

She looked at the village chief and asked, "Second Grandpa, where is my home? Is it far from our village?"

She planned to climb to the highest hill tomorrow to see if she could see her home.

Village chief Guo pointed her in a direction and told her that after passing Hongling, she would reach her destination in half an hour.

Hongling! Ming Youyou's eyelids twitched, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence. She hurriedly asked, "Is our village close to Hongling?"

"It's very close. Just walk a few steps from the end of the village, turn a corner, and you'll be there in less than a quarter of an hour."

Isn't the place where they live now the end of the village? Ming Youyou's heart skipped a beat, and she said goodbye to the village chief in a hurry, carrying the basket and walking back quickly on her short legs.

As she walked, she said to the system, "I think I know why Captain Jin lives in Xiaguan Village."

"You said that he brought us to Yuqing County, is this also the reason?" Ming Youyou's eyes lit up. She felt that she had discovered the truth, and she felt a sense of satisfaction after revealing the secret.

“Should I tell Lu Tai about this?”

If Lu Tai knew this, he would be delighted all night.

The system flashed, "I think the host should not say anything for now."

"Ah, why?" Ming Youyou stopped and unconsciously pulled a blade of grass with her hands. Then she seemed to understand something, looked around, and asked excitedly: "Are you afraid that Captain Jin will kill people to silence them?"

The system looked at the host's overactive brain waves and remained speechless for a second.

"...No, judging from his behavior, I don't think he takes you seriously. He's not afraid of you knowing, but he certainly doesn't want you to pay too much attention to it. Also, if he really wants to silence someone, he'd rather silence you. Why are you so excited?"

Ming Youyou felt that Captain Jin's shell had cracked a little bit again, but what was revealed was even more mysterious.

She felt that for their safety, they should still curry favor with him, no, they should have a good relationship with him, so she persuaded Zheng Huan and the others to send half of the chicken over.

Zheng Huan and the others couldn't persuade her, so they had to swallow their anger and agree.

So a few people carried the earthen jars and went to the guards' yard.

Unexpectedly, Captain Jin went out again, taking A3 and A4 with him. A2 also went out on patrol, leaving only A1, who had the best relationship with them, in the house.

What are you waiting for? Ming Youyou immediately took the clay pot back, and Zheng Huan and the other two dragged Jiayi back to their yard.

It was not easy for the children to get some meat. Jiayi felt embarrassed to eat only theirs, and he didn't have anything else delicious, so he simply took a jar of wine.

Ming Youyou took a sip and was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue. She lost interest and focused on drinking her chicken soup.

Zheng Huan and his friends first gobbled up most of the food, then slowed down and chatted with Jia Yi while drinking.
