Chapter 29: The Book Has Its Own Golden House

  "Just let Dabao handle the selling of chestnuts from now on, you don't have to go into town... " He Ashu looked at her daughter who was slender but had delicate features and said hesitantly: "...you don't know how complicated this world is, girls are different from boys, some kidnappers especially like to kidnap pretty girls..."

  Beautiful!!!

  Shen Sisi's mouth twitched, she believed that her beautiful daughter's genes must be good, and she also believed that her own foundation was not bad, but it was impossible to see that she was pretty at the age of eight when she was thin and weak and hadn't grown up yet.

  These two words are at least insulated for her now, she even wears her brother's clothes and runs out to people who don't know her absolutely think she's a little boy.

  My god!! She's got nothing to do with being pretty!!! Cheap mother, you're really overthinking it. Damn, I'm now dry and shriveled, even if I run out, nobody looks... Only some sharp-eyed aunts can tell she's a girl, like the vegetable seller next door, and the butcher who calls her "girl" after hearing the vegetable seller call her that, otherwise who would know?!

  "Girl..." Shen Sisi couldn't help but persuade: "I'm wearing boy's clothes, if I run out, people will think I'm a boy, it's okay, don't worry..."

  He Yaxiu felt even more distressed upon hearing this, and tears streamed down her face like they were free. "It's all Mother's fault, these eight years I haven't even been able to give you a decent set of clothes to wear, not even a skirt like other girls have... it's all Mother's fault, our family is just too poor...... waaahhhh......"

  “……” Shen Sisi didn't know how to comfort her anymore, actually she really wasn't bothered at all, but if she said it out loud, He Axiu might not believe her. She said it, and He Axiu thought she was being understanding and comforting her, which might make things worse, so she just held her hand and didn't say anything else.

  Actually... the clothes of girls in the village are really not good, she doesn't think that those clothes have any difference with boys', anyway they are all thin and dark. Clothes choose people, people also choose clothes... Even if she wears girls' clothes now, it's unlikely to make a difference, so black, so thin, so dry, so small...

  What a tragedy!

  He Axiu's mind was jumping all over the place, from clothes to her embroidery, Shen Sisi was most afraid of this, and hastily changed the subject, although it was a bit unfair to He Axiu who was worried that she wouldn't learn how to embroider, but she really wasn't interested in needlework, making her poke herself with needles every day, she'd rather go bump into walls...

  She was comforted with a few words of reassurance, and then told to wait until Zhong Gensheng was not busy, at which point he would accompany them to sell chestnuts. Only after repeated guarantees did He Ashu let her go.

  She finally let out a thorough sigh of relief, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw the three brothers staring at her.

  Shen Sisi hastily stepped forward and said: "Come on, write down the characters you recognized yesterday..."

  San Bao looked at her anxiously and said: "Tuni, are you still going to sell chestnuts tomorrow?"

  "Of course sell, don't you want to eat meat anymore?!" Shen Sisi knew they had eaten her mother's words.

  San Bao immediately smiled with joy, "Today's meat is really delicious, will we buy more meat to eat tomorrow?!"

  "Uh, tomorrow buy a little less, and bring back more noodles. As long as you earn money, you can eat meat every day, got it?!" Shen Sisi knocked on his head, looking at him sideways, "Study hard, there's gold in books, jade in books, beauty in books. If you study hard and become a scholar, you can eat all the meat you want, got it?! Come on, let's recite our lessons, we still have new characters to learn today..."
