Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 151: The Sold Daughter 15

Yuan Chun was prepared; she brought a shabby door curtain, stretched it open with both hands to catch below.

The two children, one picking and the other catching, quickly filled half a basket.

Suddenly, someone jumped out, shouting, "Oh, Qian Xiao San, so you brought your sister to pick wild pears. Didn’t we agree that we discovered this wild pear tree together and would pick it together? But you came secretly to pick it without telling me."

"Who agreed with you? I clearly discovered this wild pear tree by myself. It was you guys who insisted that it’s a national tree, shared by everyone. Since it’s shared by everyone, naturally whoever picks it gets to keep it. If you want it, climb up and pick it yourselves. I’m not stopping you."

"Hmph, we’ll pick then. Niu Dan, let’s climb up too. Let your sister catch below, and we’ll split it between our two families, half each."

Niu Dan refused, "My family has two people, and you only have one. It’s not fair. My sister should also get a share, otherwise, I won’t let her help you catch the pears."

Only three children had come, Niu Dan and his sister, and Ge Xiaofei.

Ge Xiaofei was afraid Niu Yuqin wouldn’t help him, so he agreed.

As Ge Xiaofei and Niu Dan climbed the tree, Niu Yuqin sized up Yuan Chun with disdain in her eyes, "So, you’re the adopted daughter, Ge Yuan Chun, that Aunt Xiao Ying took in?"

"You don’t look like much, so skinny and small, not even as pretty as me. And yet, Qian Xiao San treats you like a precious little sister. Hmph, you’re just a worthless ’financial burden’ nobody wanted."

The young girl spat out venomous words.

From her, Yuan Chun sensed a deep malice.

Originally, Yuan Chun, having lived for hundreds of years, didn’t care to argue with a child, but the other’s hostility suddenly made her feel a wave of aversion.

A strong aversion.

She sneered and retorted, "We’re both girls; if I’m a ’financial burden,’ then you are too. No, you’re even less than a ’financial burden.’ After all, my family only has me as a child. The way my adoptive parents treat me is something your parents couldn’t match."

"What are you so proud of? Aunt Xiao Ying might have her own child soon, and then you’d be unnecessary. When she has her own child, she’ll definitely treat you poorly, making you cry every day and forcing you to work in the fields to earn work points."

"Oh, you’re right. My adoptive mother isn’t that old; she should indeed have her own child. But my adoptive mother would never be the type to mistreat an adopted daughter once she has her own child. I say, Niu Dan’s sister, you’re so maliciously hoping I have a bad life. Are you jealous of me?"

"Who... who would be jealous of you, someone sold by their biological parents? Only a fool would envy you." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Seemingly having hit her sore spot, Niu Yuqin’s little face turned bright red, and her eyes showed a hint of guilt.

In the tree, hearing their conversation, Qian Xiao San exploded, "Niu Yuqin, you shameless creature! You dare to insult my sister as a ’financial burden’ and speak poorly of my aunt? After all the good food my aunt gave you, and you still insult her. You’re a thankless wretch. From now on, don’t expect to hang out with us."

Then, afraid his sister might believe Niu Yuqin, Qian Xiao San urgently told his sister, "Yuan Chun, don’t listen to Niu Yuqin’s nonsense. My aunt will absolutely be the best mother in the world. She will treat you well."
