The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 23 Not Simple



He tore off half a piece of cake and gave it to each other, then took small bites of the dough that had been dried out and difficult to chew.

"It's too difficult to eat like this. You should boil it in water or eat it with soup."

"I don't choose."

After the boy finished speaking, he stuffed the cake into his mouth in a few mouthfuls. However, because there was too much to chew and he didn't want to spit it out and waste it, he sat stiffly on the spot.

Since Zhou Xiaoyuan had Nini, she was extremely soft-hearted toward the young and immediately handed over the water bag she had brought out.

The other party didn't want to take it, but because he had no better way, he could only reach out and take it and drink it in small sips.

The cake soaked in water was not very tasty, but I swallowed it reluctantly.

The old man didn't have so much trouble. Seeing that the child was okay, he finished the cake in a few mouthfuls and urged the two of them to rest quickly.

Although she couldn't completely believe it, she couldn't resist others' good intentions, so she could only hug her legs and slowly close her eyes.

Drowsiness gradually rose, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Worried about danger, Zhou Xiaoyuan suddenly opened her eyes and saw only two people sleeping with their heads on one side.

After making sure there was no sound nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes again.

But just when he was about to fall asleep this time, he suddenly heard a sigh.

"They are all miserable people."

"Thank you for taking me in today. We will leave tomorrow."

The old man did not make a sound, but sighed again, looked directly at the child beside him, and wanted to put him back next to the other children, but he failed because of his old age.

After looking at the child's figure, she stood up and gently put the child aside.

"You don't look like you have a place

The way it looks. "

"We are all beggars. We walk around the alleys in the city every day. You have seen them a few times."

Therefore, the previous deceptive words did not work for him.

Zhou Xiaoyuan paused for a moment, then twitched the corner of her mouth and revealed a bitter smile.

His fingers kept fiddling with the firewood at hand, and after a long time he raised his head and looked at the old man next to him helplessly.

"Then you also know that we have made a lot of money, and even if we leave, we will still have a place to survive."

"Really? But why did I hear a few little beggars say that there was a lot of commotion on the street where you are today?"

Being exposed again, she stood stiffly on the spot, and it took a long time before she let out another sigh.

But this time, Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't say anything. Instead, she fiddled with the flames twice with firewood and then sat there more and more quietly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the old man naturally didn't make a sound, but looked at the woman in front of him and the two people sleeping together behind him.

"So how much money can you make in a few days? Can you really take two people out to make a living?"

"And this time, you two women..."

"We will find a solution for this, so you don't have to worry about it. After all, these children are already a big enough burden for beggars."

The old beggar didn't seem to think that she was still worried about him at this time, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"That girl is wrong. We are not that simple."

Is it really not that simple?

Zhou Xiaoyuan followed the other person's gaze and realized that although the children's clothes were shabby, their little faces were still fleshy, and one or two even had some cheek flesh.

Turning to look at the old man, he found that the other man slightly curved his head and raised his head.

The finger points somewhere else.

What was hanging there was not some shabby clothes, but a piece of pork as long as an adult man's arm.

Although it doesn't look particularly fresh, you can tell from the edge of the knife that this isn't the first day you've eaten it.

"Although our beggar gang are all beggars, we still have some abilities."

"I see. It seems like I am too superficial. I was originally going to give you some money to buy some food for these poor children."

The old man waved his hand, not only saying that he didn't need it, but also telling her that the child was pitiful here.

Zhou Xiaoyuan, who hadn't eaten much meat for a long time, nodded, and then felt a little thirsty again. After drinking water, her eyes became firmer.

Standing up abruptly, she quickly walked to the two sleeping people under the stunned eyes of the old man.

"Wake up."

"what happened?"

"Mom is so sleepy, why don't you sleep?"

After hearing what the two of them said, Zhou Xiaoyuan just pulled them to the old man and knelt on the ground with a plop in their stunned eyes.

The three of them were stunned in place, and when they wanted to speak out, they were pulled to their knees on the ground.

"What is this girl doing?"

"You also know our situation. All the money we earned these days has been taken away. We will have nowhere to survive when we go back."

"How could this happen? We made a lot of money but didn't have a penny at all?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed helplessly when she thought of her money bag being snatched away.

From this attitude, she already understood what was going on. Zhao Wu was stunned in place, and saw the meat hanging in mid-air in her peripheral vision and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Please also take us in. We can help with laundry and cooking, and we can also take care of these children."

"No."

The old man who could obviously agree suddenly refused sharply.

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at this kind-faced old man in astonishment. She didn't know what to do for a moment and looked at him blankly.

"Why is this? You really can't take us in? You've already taken in so many children."

Why can't they do it? You have to know that they are adults and can do a lot more than children.

Zhao Wu wanted to say something more, but the other party shook his head and helped the two of them up.

"It's not that I won't take you two in, but..." The old man was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the place next to him, "Girl, you don't belong here, I can't leave you here."

"What do you mean?"

When Zhou Xiaoyuan heard that she didn't belong here, she thought the other party had discovered her identity, and her whole body tensed up because of nervousness.

But just when she was worried that the other party would tell her how to go back, the other party sighed and raised his hand to point to the side.

"You two, sit down and let me explain it to you."

"Is there any easy explanation for this? They just think we are trouble."

Hearing Zhao Wu's rudeness, Zhou Xiaoyuan could only stretch out her hand to stop the other party from continuing.

But she was very dissatisfied and wanted to continue complaining, when she heard another sigh.

"The girl is full of heaven. Although she has a scar that cannot be seen clearly, her good days will come soon."

Have the good days arrived?

Others would believe this kind of rhetoric, but she didn't believe it at all.

Looking around at the dilapidated but warm temple, he sighed more helplessly and did not continue.

"What should we do? We still have to leave tomorrow?"

"He said we don't belong here

Here, you can leave by yourself, right? "
