Chapter 1317: Putting on New Cotton Clothes
This morning, Gougou woke up thinking everything from last night was just a dream. But then he quickly realized he was actually sleeping in a warm sleeping bag, with neatly placed hoodies, sweaters, and a brand new cotton jacket beside him!
That’s when he confirmed it wasn’t a dream; Aunt Mengyu, who cared for him for ten years in his past life, had come, given him delicious pastries to eat, and clothes to wear, and accepted him as her godson!
Oh right, she also gave him an extraordinary treasure—the Hundred Treasure Bag.
Last night was the best sleep of both his past and present lives!
He quickly got out of the sleeping bag, put on the hoodie, the sweater, and finally, when he picked up the ragged cotton jacket, he suddenly felt a bit disdainful. He really wanted to wear the new cotton jacket.
Moreover, it had snowed last night, making today’s weather even colder.
After hesitating for a while, he suddenly tossed away the ragged jacket and resolutely put on the new cotton jacket!
As soon as he stepped out of the shed, he found a black and a white puppy circling him, whining. He felt it was strange and asked the two puppies, "Did godmother send you to call me?"
The two puppies wagged their tails and then started tugging at his pants to make him move.
He said again, "Are you taking me to find godmother? Okay, I’ll follow you."
The two dogs immediately ran ahead, occasionally looking back. When they saw he wasn’t moving, they came back and tugged at his pants again to make him move. Only when he started walking did they lead the way again.
Gougou understood; the black and white dogs had really come to guide him.
However, just as he walked past the Zhong Family’s door, a voice came from inside, "Gougou, aren’t you going to hurry up and wash your brother’s pants? What are you standing there for?"
It turned out that the Zhong family’s child had wet the bed last night.
But Gougou was only four years old. Was it really appropriate to ask a four-year-old boy to wash wet pants?
"Gougou, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me tell you to wash your brother’s pants?" Immediately after, a woman came out, grabbed Gougou by the ear, and started dragging him inside.
Gougou was in pain and hurriedly grabbed the woman’s hand, shouting, "It hurts, it hurts, Mom, let go, it hurts."
Zhao Liuping suddenly noticed something off about Gougou today. Upon closer inspection, she saw the clothes on Gougou: "Gougou, where did you steal these clothes from? Did you steal your brother’s clothes to wear?"
A woman from next door who had just come out burst into laughter, "That’s hilarious, Gougou’s brother is not even one year old, and yet he has such big clothes?"
Zhao Liuping said angrily, "I said if they are, they are. What’s it to you?" At the same time, she turned back to scold Gougou, "These were bought for your brother to wear when he grows up. Take them off now."
Tiger Valley has money, but all that money is in the hands of men. In terms of daily expenses, the household wasn’t generous, and they wouldn’t give women much money, partly to prevent them from running off with it, and partly because their money’s origins weren’t legitimate. Thus, even with money, they couldn’t spend it openly. Naturally, household expenses wouldn’t be very abundant.
What’s more, Zhong Jiaxiang was too distinct-looking—when he was young, he fell from a tree and got his eye injured by branches, becoming the One-eyed Dragon.
And as a human trafficker, it’s best if one’s appearance blends into a crowd like water merging into the sea, making it hard to be recognized by people. Thus, Zhong Jiaxiang naturally was not chosen by You Laoer to "make a fortune" together.
