Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 178

The child has an old habit - she likes to eavesdrop.

If there is something exciting happening right in front of her that she can watch openly, she may not go to see it, but if the excitement is happening secretly, then she would really want to know what is going on.

So when she heard the somewhat unhappy voices of kidney beans and broad beans, she decisively put down the food box, tiptoed over, squatted beside a water tank and listened.

Yundou said, "What's the point of blaming me? Madam Chai has already let her go. How can I stop her and say no?"

Candou said, "I'm not blaming you. I'm saying, why is she like this? I've never seen her so eager before. Now that she's caught the Second Young Master's eye, she's going to leave. What kind of person is she?"

Yundou: "Who could she be? She's a shrew who's trying to climb the social ladder. The day before yesterday, the leader of the Yuquan Troupe went to sing for the Second Young Master, and she eagerly went over. Seeing that she wasn't liked, she didn't go the next day. Yesterday, the mainstay went and was liked. She came in this morning and asked about this. Who do you think she is?"

Broad Bean: "No wonder, she has such a close relationship with the adults in the mansion, she must be more informed than us, Madam Chai has to give her some face, so she can do whatever she wants. Forget it, I'm not angry, and you don't have to be angry either."

Yundou: "I don't want to be angry, but you said she is so close to the adults in the mansion, does she still need such an opportunity? Originally, this was a job that no one wanted to do, so it was assigned to you and our mother. She also wants to snatch it. How shameless!

She'll rush over like a dog at a bone if she sees any benefit. I thought she was a good person, but it turns out her hardworking attitude was all fake. Her true colors showed up after a while."

Yundou sneered and was extremely angry, but his voice was not loud.

The child was standing a little far away, but he still heard roughly what was said.

I frowned in surprise and thought to myself: Is this talking about me? It seems to be me, right?

How did I become a heart-wrenching villain?

It’s just delivering food, not killing anyone. Does it matter who goes?

Wouldn't it be easier for them if they did less work?

"Go ahead if you want to. The food box is right there. I won't fight with you for it."

The child didn't understand what the benefit was, but since it was related to the second young master of the mansion, it must be beneficial. Since they minded so much, just give the job back to them.

She stood up and spoke loudly.

The two behind the tree were startled: "Who?!"

Kidney Bean and Broad Bean holding a broom came out from behind the tree and looked at the child in horror. Their faces suddenly turned pale and they looked uncomfortable.

"You...you...you heard everything?" Candou began to stutter and his voice was very small.

The child nodded and walked over and said, "That's about right. If I had known you were so eager to deliver the food, I wouldn't have fought with you for it. The food box is over there, go ahead and deliver it."

The brother and sister took two steps back.

Yundou said with an unpleasant expression, "Are you so kind?"

"Why not? I wanted to go because the people in the troupe were beautiful, not because I like to be delivered food."

The child shrugged and said it lightly.

The brother and sister looked at each other.

Candou mustered up the courage to ask, "What about Madam Chai? Will you go and tell her?"

The child didn't really want to go, but he still had to say, "I'll go tell her in a minute."

Yundou asked suspiciously, "Are you planning to tell Madam Chai that we bullied you?"

Child:……

"You can't bully me."

These two people were only a little taller than her, and were both very thin, and didn't seem to be very strong, so the children could pin them down and beat them.

"Besides, why would I do that?"

Yundou muttered to himself: Of course it’s because we said bad things about you!

But she didn't say that.

"I'm overthinking it. Are you really willing to let us go?"

"real."

"Thank you very much," Yundou thought for a moment and said, "If you want to see the troupe, you don't have to go and deliver the food. Madam Chai won't care about you. Even if you go directly, it's okay, but you'd better not do that. It's better to find another excuse."

The child didn't quite understand.

Yundou looked at her confused eyes: ...

"Oh, don't you understand this?"

The child hesitated and said, "I understand, but why would Madam Chai ignore me? I'll definitely be scolded if I run around. It's not good to just go there. You're talking so strangely, I almost didn't understand you."

Kidney beans: ...

She sent her brother away, and then explained to the child, "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? You have such a good relationship with those adults, so of course Mrs. Chai won't care about you.

It's okay to go there directly, but it would be terrible if the news got out. The troupe is full of men, and we are not assigned to serve them. Why should we go there for no reason? If someone sees us, they will definitely say something unpleasant.

We are all grown up, not children anymore, so of course we should know how to avoid suspicion."

The child never felt that he had really grown up, but after hearing her say this, he woke up as if from a dream and immediately realized it.

Yes, she has grown up and is no longer at the age where no one will care if she hangs out with boys.

"You have a point."

Yundou thought she looked quite honest and didn't dislike her so much. After the child went to tell Mrs. Chai that he didn't want to go, Yundou even liked her a little.

He talked to her for a long time, even nudged her shoulder quietly, and asked her, "Everyone says you've taken Zhang Fengci as your godfather. Isn't that true?"

Child: "No, who said that?"

"That's what everyone says," Yundou couldn't name a specific person, so he could only say vaguely, "I also heard it from gossip. They said you owed Zhang Fengci a lot of money, and when you couldn't pay it back, you sold yourself to him as his daughter. You had to do a lot of work every day, and they also said that he beat you at the slightest provocation. Even the eunuchs couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade him.

What they said was very convincing, and it didn't seem false. I saw you running to Zhang Fengci's house before dawn."

Kidney Bean looked as if he believed these words.

The children were stunned by what they heard: "I did owe Eunuch Zhang a lot of money, and I worked in his house to farm and pay it back, but he didn't make me do a lot of work, and he never beat me. He treated me very well."

"Then he did!" Yundou chattered excitedly, "I heard those eunuchs are particularly cruel and love to beat people. They always have many godchildren and take it out on them when they are in a bad mood. They are like this even when they are fine. What's more, you still owe him money..."

The look in Yundou's eyes could even be described as pity.

The child said: "Eunuch Zhang is not that kind of person. He is very kind to me and has never beaten me. I ran away as soon as he asked for the rules. Besides, I am not his goddaughter.

Besides, if he really treated me badly, how could Madam Chai treat me like you said? "

"How is that impossible? How he treats you is his business. Madam Chai is not him..."

The child tried to explain, and Yundou listened, but he looked as if he didn't believe it at all and continued to say a lot of bad things about the eunuch.

The child had only seen many people fearing them, and this was the first time he knew they had such a bad reputation.

Flattering, greedy, petty, insidious, cruel, and a woman-beater. In short, there are a lot of bad things about him.

After Yundou finished saying that their androgynous behavior was disgusting, he remembered to warn her, "I'm telling you this because I treat you as a friend, so don't tell anyone else.

"If you ask me, you'd better be careful in your daily life and never make them angry. Even though they may chat and laugh with you on a daily basis, they might turn hostile to you with just one wrong word. I had a sister like that before. She was very popular with them and even became Zhao Dianbao's goddaughter, but she was later beaten to death with clubs. It was so tragic!"

The child didn't like listening to her, but he still promised not to tell anyone else.

Yundou was also a straightforward person who couldn't hide his words. He regretted it after he finished speaking to her, but the words had already been spoken and he couldn't take them back. He could only repeatedly remind her:

"You mustn't tell me, or I'll be kicked out too. They said the two cooks were kicked out because you snitched. Is that true..."
