Chapter 89 Money, I Have
She turned her head to look at Liu Cuihua and said to her in a low voice: "Mom... you decide it..."
Liu Cuihua was also hesitating, since there was already one idler out of nothing at home. How could she bring another freeloader back...
However, if she didn't take him back, such a small kid would have to die outside sooner or later. She couldn't be so ruthless.
It seemed that the kid noticed her hesitation, so he walked to her side, took something out of his sleeve, and stuffed it into her hand.
"Auntie, I have money to support myself. So please take me back."
Liu Cuihua felt that there was a hard metal object in the palm of her hand. She opened her palm and was so surprised to subconsciously open her mouth. Then she quickly clenched her hand tightly.
This was...gold?
She had seen a lot of silver in recent days, but this was the first time she had seen gold. But how could such a young child have ten taels of gold ingot?
It showed that he must not be a kid from ordinary families. His clothes seemed to be mourning dresses, which indicated that his families must just have passed away recently. If she took him back, what if her family got into troubles?
Liu Cuihua was not such people who were wide-eyed at the sight of money-greedy. She was extremely hesitating at this time.
The boy looked at her so attentively, with no other expressions on his little face, and he just waited for her to make a decision.
Before Liu Cuihua made up her mind, a familiar voice came from behind, "Mom!"
Su Jiuyue heard the sound and looked around to find who was coming. Then she saw Wu Ercheng.
"Mom! Why are you here?"
"I'm worried about you. Where's your elder brother?" Liu Cuihua asked.
"My brother is over there! The vegetables haven't been sold out yet, so he is still there with the barrow." Wu Ercheng said while pointing her in the direction.
"Let's go and have a look."
The boy consciously took Su Jiuyue's hand, and Su Jiuyue whispered to him: "What's your name?"
"Zongyuan." He spat out two words.
Inexplicably, Su Jiuyue felt he was very kind and said: "What a coincidence! My husband's name is Xiyuan, and he also has the character 'Yuan' as your!"
Mu Zongyuan glanced at her in surprise, not expecting her to marry so early, but he didn't continue asking much information.
Su Jiuyue held his hand and followed Liu Cuihua to walk towards Wu Dacheng not far away.
Wu Dacheng was stunned for a moment when he saw that they were together with a dirty boy. He asked: "Why is there a kid? Whose kid?"
Su Jiuyue shook her head, and Liu Cuihua explained: "I find him on the road. He says he is the only one in his family."
"Then what should we do?" Wu Dacheng asked for his mother's opinions subconsciously.
"What else can we do? Take him back first." Lin replied.
As soon as Lin said it, Su Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief. It meant that Lin agreed to take Zongyuan back.
Then, Su Jiuyue saw Liu Cuihua squatting down in front of Mu Zongyuan, and said: "Kid, I can take you home, but my family is poor and may not be able to give you the life you had in the past. Can you understand?"
Although the situation of her family was relatively good in the village, it was of course far different from the situation of a family that could easily take out a gold ingot...
Feeling Lin's sincerity, Mu Zongyuan nodded and replied: "Sure, I know it."
He just saw that Lin and Su were women, and they were soft-hearted and looked like countrymen in their clothes. So he decided to go with them.
Anyhow, everything was great.
Wu Ercheng seemed to have some different opinions, but in front of Mu Zongyuan, he was embarrassed to say them. So this matter was decided and settled.
Liu Cuihua then turned to ask them how were the vegetables, and Wu Dacheng scratched his head.
"There are quite a lot of people buying, but I see them bidding higher and higher, so I want to wait for the final price."
