Chapter 21
"Okay." Chu Munan agreed without hesitation.

Ruan Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and felt less angry in her heart.

After all, earning 50 taels for a single recitation is quite a bargain.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chu Munan leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Sister, I will give you all the money I earn in the future, are you happy, huh?"

"..."

Brat!
Ruan Xiangxiang didn't say a word, and came to the front with Chu Munan on her back.

Ruan Sanbao heard footsteps and immediately went to the door.

When she saw Ruan Xiangxiang carrying a strange boy on her back, she couldn't help being stunned.

"Sister, who is he?"

Li Cui came out coughing and looked at them curiously.

Ruan Xiangxiang explained: "His name is Chu Munan. I picked him up on the mountain. I saw that he was scratched by a wild animal. He was very pitiful, so I brought him back."

Li Cui said "Oh" with worry on her face.

Ruan Sanbao walked aside, staring at Chu Munan with big eyes.

"Xiangxiang, come here, Mother has something to tell you."

Li Cui waved to Ruan Xiangxiang.

Ruan Xiangxiang put Chu Munan down, and followed Li Cui to the back of the Buddha.

"Xiangxiang, this year we have no crops here, and we can only have hope if we go to Yuan'an City.

This place is far from Yuan'an City, and there are more than a dozen cities in between. It is difficult to get here, so, mother thought, or you can go on the road alone. "

As he said that, Li Cui handed her a packed package and said, "Inside is all the money and food on my mother's body. Take it with you."

"I don't want it." Ruan Xiangxiang refused: "Does mother want to part ways with me from now on?"

"I……"

Li Cui looked at Ruan Xiangxiang, feeling very reluctant.

However, now that she is injured and sick, it will be even more difficult for Ruan Xiangxiang if she is with her, and she might as well go alone.

"Since it's not, let's go to Yuan'an City together."

"But mother is not in good health, it will drag you down, and Sanbao, it might be better to let him go back to Ruan's house."

"Mother, aren't you afraid that they will sell the Three Treasures like they sold me?"

"Not at all, after all, the Three Treasures..."

She wanted to say that Sanbao was a boy after all, and he was the smartest boy in the Ruan family, but when she got to the point of speaking, she felt that it would bring Ruan Xiangxiang psychological discomfort, so she changed the subject.

"Three Treasures belong to the Ruan family after all."

"Mother, some people get hungry, but their relatives don't recognize them. Don't say that the three treasures are just grandsons, even their own sons can change their sons and eat."

Li Cui's heart skipped a beat. She had experienced many things. She had seen what Ruan Xiangxiang said with her own eyes.

"Then Xiangxiang, what do you think we should do?"

It's not that she's not worried, it's just that she really has nothing to do.

She knew that with her current physical condition, she would not be able to support Yuan'an City.

"Mother, don't think too much about it. As long as our family works together, we will be able to overcome this difficulty."

Li Cui looked at her with burning eyes and gained some confidence in her heart.

"Ah."

"Mother, in fact, we don't have to go to Yuan'an City, we can find a place nearby first." Ruan Xiangxiang suggested.

Li Cui reached into the package, groped for a while, and finally came out empty-handed.

"In Yuan'an City, my mother has a wealthy relative, so as long as we find her, we will be able to tide over this difficulty."

"So that's how it is." Ruan Xiangxiang suddenly realized: "It's just that, since my mother has rich and noble relatives in the capital, why did she live in Xinghua Village and marry Sanbao's father?"
