Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 49: Mu Hua

Zhang Xiaocao was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice that after they left Wangjiang Tower, there was someone sneaking behind them.

"Xiaocao, let's go buy some more fabric, it's the Chinese New Year, it's time to make you new clothes!"

Grandma Zhang took her hand and walked towards the cloth shop without saying a word.

Zhang Xiaocao came back to her senses and hurriedly followed.Although she has the soul of an adult, she doesn't have high expectations for wearing new clothes for the New Year, but she will definitely feel uncomfortable if she doesn't buy grandma. She also wants to choose fabrics for grandma to make new clothes. Very frugal, not even two sets of unpatched old clothes, let alone new ones.

Grandma Zhang looked through the suitable fabrics with great interest. After asking her granddaughter's opinion, she chose a rose-colored fine cotton fabric with a good texture, and tore it twice, which cost more than 200 cash.

Regardless of her grandmother's dissuasion, Zhang Xiaocao insisted on choosing a dark red fabric for her, which can also be used as a double body.

Grandma Zhang complained, but she was very happy in her heart. Her granddaughter was filial, she had her own life, and she still cared about her as an old woman. Whose granddaughter could be as caring as her granddaughter?
The grandfather and grandson bought a lot of things, and finally both hands were full, and they couldn't put it on the cart, so they had to decide to come back tomorrow.

Grandma Zhang was pulling the scooter in front, and Zhang Xiaocao was standing behind to give a helping hand. As soon as she reached the entrance of the town, someone bumped into her from behind, and Zhang Xiaocao almost fell to the ground.

Zhang Xiaocao was very vigilant, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to the purse at her waist, and sure enough, it was empty.

"Little thief, don't run!"

Zhang Xiaocao yelled loudly, saw the thief who hadn't escaped from sight, and hurriedly chased him out.

Grandma Zhang was in a panic, her face turned pale with fright, she was afraid that the thief would hurt her granddaughter, so she staggered after her, shouting anxiously that there was a thief, hoping that someone could stop the thief.

There were quite a lot of people on the street, but the thief was small, but he was running fast. Seeing that he had been spotted, he didn't run to a crowded place, but to a small alley with few people.

Zhang Xiaocao chased after her desperately, but she couldn't catch up after all. The thief turned a corner and disappeared soon. Use it on the right path.

Even though she hated him, she didn't continue chasing him. Who knows if he has an accomplice waiting in front of him, if he rushes after him rashly, maybe even she will be in danger.

Fortunately, she was prepared, knowing that there are many people in the town recently, and it is easy to be fished in troubled waters, so she hid the 100 taels of silver near her body, and in her purse was the remaining three taels of silver for the five taels of silver. What a fortune!
Just when she was about to turn around and go back, she suddenly heard a miserable scream, and the sound echoed in the silent alley, making one's hair stand on end!

Zhang Xiaocao couldn't hold back her curiosity when she heard the howling scream, she quietly moved to the corner of the wall, stretched out her head and glanced into the alley.

A short and thin figure suddenly came into view, I saw that he was wearing thin and worn-out single clothes that could not be seen in the original color at all, his hair was messed up, and his face was dirty. Judging from his immature profile, He was only about seven or eight years old, and in his small hands like a wood-bone stick, he tightly grasped a stick as thick as an arm, and beat another person hard over and over again.

The man hugged his leg and rolled on the ground in pain. Not far from him lay a purse, which was the one that Zhang Xiaocao was stolen from!
Zhang Xiaocao was stunned by this scene, the thief's cries and the blunt sound of sticks hitting her body echoed in her ears.

The young man stared coldly at the person who kept rolling on the ground begging for mercy, as if he was looking at a dead person, that ruthless gaze was not what a child should have at all!

I saw him slowly raising his stick, aiming at the thief's head, intending to make a final blow to completely end the man's life.

"what!"

The desperate scream brought Zhang Xiaocao back to her senses, the scene in front of her made her unable to bear it anymore, she rushed out and shouted: "Stop!"

Hearing the shout, the young man paused his hand, turned his head to look, his eyes flashed with raging killing intent, but the moment he saw the person coming, his body shook violently, the cruelty in his eyes receded, and he flashed quickly. After a bright light, it quickly dimmed, and he threw away the wooden stick in his hand in a panic and was about to run away.

"stop!"

Zhang Xiaocao quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

The moment he turned his head, she recognized this child. He was the child who was almost poisoned to death by those three men and one woman who came to the booth to make trouble a few days ago.

Holding his cold hand without a trace of warmth, thinking of the moment when the child turned his head back just now, a wolf-like light flashed in his eyes, Zhang Xiaocao couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she was not the Virgin, but she suddenly felt sorry for this child. Unaccompanied boy!

"Xiaocao, this child is..."

After finding some kind-hearted people, Grandma Zhang, who was about to come to help, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her granddaughter came back safe and sound, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was about to go up to see if she was injured, but found that there was a skinny man behind her. The boy also remembered who he was, and couldn't help asking in surprise.

Zhang Xiaocao was about to speak, when she saw that there were still many outsiders, she quickly winked at her grandma.

Seeing this, Grandma Zhang didn't ask any more questions, and thanked the man very sincerely. After everyone had left, she pulled her granddaughter aside and asked, "What's the matter with this child?"

Grandma Zhang has already seen a little bit from the child's clothes, but she is a little confused about her granddaughter's thoughts.

Zhang Xiaocao glanced at her nervously and attached to her all the time, her heart suddenly felt sour, and she became more and more determined in that idea.

He told grandma the general story of the matter, concealed the scene where he killed the little thief, and expressed his own thoughts.

"Grandma, let him go home with us!"

Zhang Xiaocao didn't explain the reason, she knew that with grandma's kindness, she would definitely agree.

Sure enough, Grandma Zhang didn't hesitate at all, she nodded and said: "This child is also a poor one, our family is not bad now!"

Grandma Zhang walked over, took the child's hand in an old way, looked at the child's skinny hand, and shed tears sadly.

The boy resisted a little, as if he didn't like being touched by others, and looked at Zhang Xiaocao nervously with his dark eyes.

Zhang Xiaocao came over, put her hands on theirs and said to him with a smile: "She is my grandma, my relative, and will be your grandma in the future. We are all one family!"

The boy understood, and immediately stopped struggling. He grinned, and gave Zhang Xiaocao a smile that wasn't a smile. He had never smiled before, and he didn't know how to smile.

Seeing this, Grandma Zhang had a gratified smile on her face.She agreed to take the child home, of course she sympathized with him, but on the other hand, she didn't know how many years she would have to live until she was old enough, and if she went there one day, she wouldn't worry about her granddaughter alone , if this child is a good one, he will be able to support his granddaughter in the future, so that she will not be bullied by others. If he had a brother back then...
