After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute

When Liu Huan was ten months old, the chatterbox Aunt Hua finally couldn't wait any longer and came to her house on a rainy day.

The Su family was having dinner. Liu Huan and Xiao Shi shared a bowl of egg custard, while the others still had wild vegetable and corn porridge.

In Liu Huan's memory, brown rice and a bowl of fried cabbage with oil residue only appeared once during the Chinese New Year, and the rest of the time it was just porridge.

"Daughter-in-law, are you eating porridge?"

Aunt Hua looked at the porridge they were eating with mockery in her eyes. Although the village was poor, it was not as poor as the Su family who had to eat wild vegetable porridge all year round.

Su's mother wiped her mouth and said in embarrassment: "Aunt, what's the matter?"

Aunt Hua took out two eggs, looking very superior: "I brought two eggs to nourish your little Shi. Look how thin he is."

Liu Huan would criticize her for being blind. In this family, no matter who is thin, Xiaoshi should not be mentioned. His small body always makes her breathless. He is a real fat baby.

Su's mother smiled wryly: "His aunt is so polite. These eggs are expensive. You should keep them for Goudan and the others."

For them, two eggs are indeed a very valuable gift, and they are only given as gifts at a banquet.

Aunt Hua didn't refuse and put it back in the basket. She pulled out a handful of wild vegetables and put them on the table. "Shepherd's purse. I just picked it today. It's very fresh and delicious for making dumplings."

It sounds like he eats it often at home.

Su's mother still didn't want it. She couldn't afford the things in her family. A handful of wild vegetables would at least make her nag about it for a year: "How can I do that? I can't finish all of them. You can take them back."

"No, no, I'll leave it to you, hehe."

The atmosphere became tense. She saw Liu Huan sitting in Cao'er's arms. He rolled his eyes and then made a move.

"Cao'er, it's inconvenient for you to hold her, so let me feed her."

Cao'er turned away and replied calmly: "No need, Auntie, Niuniu can eat by herself."

Liu Huan can really eat by herself and she won’t waste food, but she easily falls down because she doesn’t have a chair to sit on, so everyone in the family takes turns holding her.

Aunt Hua then returned to the point and explained the purpose of her visit, "Daughter-in-law Da Nian, I am here today to bring you a great joy, a good thing."

Something good happened to the Su family, and Su's mother asked casually, "What good news?"

She looked around and pretended to be mysterious. "Last year, didn't you say you would give her to whoever wanted her? Now someone really wants her. There is a family in town who wants a daughter and they want two taels of silver."

With an expression that showed concern for the Su family, he continued, "I'm not thinking about the fact that you have so many children in your family. Even food is a problem. If you sell this girl you picked up, the two taels of silver will be enough for Dashi to marry a wife."

Liu Huan finally understood what was going on. It turned out that this person was here to target him.

She doesn’t want to be sold out since she’s living so well in the Su family.

So he stopped eating the egg custard, put down the wooden spoon and started crying loudly, raising his hands to ask Shitou to hold him.

"Stone, stone."

Shitou glanced at Aunt Hua and said, "My family doesn't sell people. If you want to buy someone, then sell Cuihua from your family."

After saying that, he stood up and took Liu Huan from Cao'er's arms, took her bowl and carried her to the next room.

Liu Huan thought that he was picked up and his family was so poor that they could only eat porridge. What if Father Su was tempted to sell him? What would he do then?

Maybe the ending in my memory will repeat itself, and I will still have to go to a brothel, but at a very young age.

Or maybe, she had read on the Internet that people in ancient times liked to bury children as burial objects, so wouldn't she be dead then?

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn't stop crying while hugging Shi Tou. She refused to eat the egg custard Shi Tou fed her. She didn't want to have this last supper.

Shitou put down the bowl and comforted him softly: "Okay, I won't sell you out, brother promises, just finish your meal, okay?"

Liu Huan felt that the egg custard, which he could only eat once every few days, no longer tasted good.

Could it be that she eats too much? Could she please not eat so much in the future?

Is it okay if I don’t eat egg custard anymore?

Why don’t you go and make money when you grow up?

Please don't sell me.

She hugged Shitou's neck and cried breathlessly. In this evil era, there are too many people selling their daughters. A few days ago, she heard from Su's mother that a family sold their daughter, who was only a few years old.

Cao'er's elder brother Xiaoshi came to comfort her, but it was of no use. She hugged Shitou and cried her heart out, worrying about her fate.

From next door came the sound of Su's mother and Aunt Hua swearing at each other, "Why don't you sell your daughter? You black-hearted person, you came up with such a wicked idea. Take your wild vegetables and get out of my house."

Aunt Hua stood at the door, her hands on her waist, and said confidently, "You are so poor and yet you still pretend to be a good person. I will see how long you can support me. When the time comes, even if you beg me for help, I will not help you."

Mother Su picked up a broom and chased to the door: "Get lost, who wants your help?"

After the two of them had been swearing at each other for a quarter of an hour, the children were dumbfounded. They had never seen Su's mother swearing before.

When Su's mother went in, Liu Huan had already cried herself to sleep, still hugging Shitou's neck.

Seeing the children staring at her, Su's mother wiped her tears and told everyone:

"I have never thought of selling Niuniu. When I first picked her up, I was afraid that I couldn't afford to raise her and wanted to give her away. Now, even if I have to sell everything I have, I won't sell her, okay?"

After getting the assurance, Shitou nodded, carried Liu Huan to the bed, and seeing her restless hands grabbing around, he held both of hers, "Brother is here, don't be afraid."

Wait until she is completely asleep, then put her food away and prepare to heat it up and feed it to her when she wakes up.

Father Su was smoking the tobacco he grew next door and gathered everyone together.

"Daishi, will you blame us?"

After all, the bride price for marrying a wife is indeed two taels, and the family does not have that much money. There are many such families in the village.

Dashi was honest and serious, "Dad, am I that kind of person? Even if I can't get a wife in the future, I won't trade Niuniu for her."

Father Su nodded, "That's enough. Don't mention this again. We were so poor before, but your mother and I raised you all. We only have one girl, and she's the only one we need to eat. It's impossible for us to just give her soup."

Liu Huan was in tears in the next room. She was thinking wrongly. How could the eldest brother of such a good family, the Su family, who was willing to take the risk to hunt for food for the original owner, sell himself out for two taels of silver?

But this incident still had an impact on her, and she became more dependent on stones.

Maybe it’s because his ending was different, or maybe I just wanted to cling to him.

When she went to bed at night, she would sleep next to the stone, snuggle in his arms and call him brother softly.

Shitou touched her malnourished hair and responded to every word: "Brother is here, go to sleep."

In the following month, Liu Huan would deliberately eat less at every meal and stopped eating egg custard.

Everyone thought she had a smaller appetite so no one paid much attention to it. But before they knew it, they realized she had lost a lot of weight.

Shitou was so angry that he tried every way to get her to eat more every day. If she didn't eat, he threatened to beat her. That's how she caught up with the weight.
