A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Chapter 311 Looking Forward to Playmates

"Would you like to come with your sister?"

Wen Meijiu reached out her hand to the child, but she shrank back into her arms and shook her head slightly.

"I want to watch over my mother."

Tears almost welled up in her eyes, and Wen Meijiu quickly turned her head away.

Your mother will smell bad in a couple of days; she doesn't want to tell such a cruel thing to a child.

After calming herself down, Wen Meijiu remembered that she had asked Lao Li for food earlier, so she must have been hungry.

She wanted to get something herself, and she was sure the girl would come with her.

"You wait here for your sister, I'll be back in a bit."

Wen Meijiu hurriedly ran to her car. She thought there was still food in Jinling's place. Her mother was afraid that the three children would go hungry, so she often gave them extra food. Jinling loved to hide things.

Everyone is busy right now. She was originally going to come and help in the kitchen, but she hasn't apologized to Wen Meijiu yet, and Young Master Wang isn't talking to her either.

Feeling incredibly lonely, she decided to take the initiative to find Wen Meijiu and apologize to her in public. After all, she had to do this sooner or later, so she might as well get it over with sooner.

Seeing Wen Meijiu running towards him, he still hurried to meet her, but unexpectedly, Wen Meijiu pushed him away despite her initiative.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

She was still furious after being pushed away. She had already been wronged enough, so why was she treated like this?

Wen Meijiu didn't have time to pay attention to her and hurriedly went to play in Jinling.

"Jinling, is there any food left?"

Three children were playing with pebbles in a circle when Wen Meijiu pushed them aside and asked Jinling.

"Nothing."

Jinling lied through her teeth, but her little hand unconsciously covered her chest slightly.

This did not escape Wen Meijiu's sharp eyes at all. She ripped open his shirt, revealing a corner of the sesame seed cake underneath.

"you are lying."

Jinxiang, who was in charge of taking care of Jinling, failed to educate him properly. Seeing him deceive her older sister, she was a little angry and immediately pointed out Jinling's mistake.

Jinling knew she was wrong, so she lowered her head and pouted, saying:

"This is what I saved up."

"No matter what, it's wrong of you to lie."

Jinxiang continued to criticize Jinling.

Wen Meijiu didn't care about that at all. She reached out and took the sesame seed cake in her hand, then got up to leave. The child was too pitiful.

With a "Wah!" Jinling burst into tears, dropping the pebbles in her hand to the ground.

Wen Meijiu quickly squatted down and hugged Jinling in her arms, coaxing her for a while.

"I'm not trying to steal your bread, it's just that a little girl's mother died and she's starving. Could you lend it to me to save her life?"

"Oh no, I'm starving to death too, boohoo..."

The crying in Jinling had subsided, but it was still going on.

They've just lit the fire, so if they want to eat, they'll definitely have to wait a while. Wen Meijiu knows this, which is why she came to Jinling to get food.

"Alright, alright, we Jinling people are hungry. Shall we have a bite to eat first?"

Wen Meijiu thought that if she broke off a piece of a sesame seed cake and gave it to Jinling, she could still have more than half left, which wouldn't be a problem.

When Jinling saw that she had only gotten a small piece, which was gone as soon as she opened her mouth, tears streamed down her face.

"Big sister, this is mine."

"Jinling, that little girl's mother is dead. She might not survive the night without any cakes."

We can eat pancakes every day, so please consider this a good deed and give her the bigger one, okay?

Gu Junchu, who had been standing silently to the side, finally spoke.

Upon hearing Gu Junchu's words, Jinling pursed her lips, staring at the large half-eaten sesame seed cake in Wen Meijiu's hand, feeling as if she were cutting off a piece of her own flesh, but she stopped crying.

"Jinling, if you agree, your brother will play with you every day from now on, okay?"

Jinling is too small. No matter what games Jinxiang and Gu Junchu play, he either doesn't know how or he messes them up, so he is always disliked by others.

As time went on, Jinling also learned that he would just watch from the sidelines, not daring to ask to participate unless the two older children took pity on him and invited him to join in.

"okay."

Jinling finally agreed, and the other two children cheered.

"How old is she?"

Jinling's small eyes darted around as he thought to himself that if the little girl were younger than him, she wouldn't be able to eat so much.

"about the same as you."

Upon hearing this, Jinling immediately got off Wen Meijiu and onto the ground.

Since fleeing the famine, he had always envied Jinxiang and Gu Junchu, the two big kids who could talk about anything.

If he had a little girl who was about the same age, he would have a close friend, and just thinking about it makes him incredibly happy.

"So, is she pretty?"

"This little guy thinks so much," Wen Meijiu said with a slight smile, "and replied:"

"Pretty!"

To be honest, Wen Meijiu didn't know whether the child was a boy or a girl. The child's voice was very soft and weak, making it difficult to tell.

To appease Jinling, she also lied.

"Great, I want to go check it out too."

Jinling ran ahead of Wen Meijiu, who quickly followed. Jinxiang and Gu Junchu exchanged a glance and then followed as well.

"Jinling has good friends now, and you and I have good friends too. It'll be much more fun from now on."

Jinxiang said whatever came to mind, her joy beyond words.

"Yes, it'll be more lively with more people."

Gu Junchu agreed with Jin Xiang's idea, but he wouldn't say it out loud like Jin Xiang did.

"That's great! I'm going to have a beautiful friend too!"

Jinling held Wen Meijiu's hand, wishing she could rush to the child's side immediately.

"I will treat her well, share all the good food with her, take care of her, and play lots of games with her..."

Before even meeting the person, Jinling was already dreaming about her future life with good friends, and she described it in vivid detail.

That happiness infected them all, and everyone went to find the child with great joy, as if it had already become a reality.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you. If you can't do it, I'll spank you."

Wen Meijiu put pressure on him.

"I'll keep an eye on you too. If you bully her, I'll beat you up for her."

"I will supervise everyone to make sure that everyone treats her well."

Gu Junchu, who usually keeps a quiet and mature demeanor, revealed a lot of childlike innocence as he was swept up in everyone's emotions.

"Big sister, have we arrived yet?"

Jinling grew increasingly anxious as she spoke, repeatedly raising her small face to ask Wen Meijiu.

"It's inside the broken wall up ahead."

Before Wen Meijiu could finish speaking, Jinling had already broken free from her grasp and rushed towards the gap in the broken wall.

"Big sister, no!"

Jinling slammed on the brakes, stood on tiptoe, and leaned her entire upper body into the gap in the broken wall, twisting her neck as she shouted at Wen Meijiu.

"how come?"

Wen Meijiu thought Jinling wouldn't recognize the child because the child was too dirty and wouldn't be easily recognizable when lying on her mother.

"Really, there isn't any. Come and see for yourself."

Jinling emerged from the gap in the broken wall, stood at the base of the wall, and pointed inside for Wen Meijiu to see.
