Chapter 145
145 Compensation
In the end, Little Ah Yu did not borrow Qin Huai’s money.
“Big Brother Ah You, children can’t be husband and wife by themselves! My Big Brother has just started to look for a wife. Grandma said that his age is suitable.” Little Ah Yu shook her head. “So, Ah Yu has to be 16 years old before I can look for a husband. I’m still-”
Little Ah Yu only had ten fingers, so she could not figure out what 16 minus 2 was.
She only knew that she was two years old this year. Grandma had repeatedly emphasized this.
Qin Huai nodded. “Forget it if you don’t want it.”
Actually, he had only mentioned it casually just now, but since Little Ah Yu did not agree, he felt unhappy.
Although he felt that his body had already recovered and it was very likely that Little Ah Yu had saved him, what if he still could not survive past three months?
He could not wait until Little Ah Yu was 16 years old.
It was fine if they could not be husband and wife, but he could not even see how she would look like as a bride. Just thinking about it made him unhappy.
She was so cute, like a ball of blessing. She would definitely look even better when she grew up.
If she became a bride, she would definitely be the best-looking bride.
He really wanted to take a look.
Little Ah Yu did not know what Qin Huai was thinking. Seeing that Qin Huai did not want to speak anymore, she simply stood up from the stool and pointed at the dried fruits on the table. “Brother Ah You, help me watch over them. I’ll come back to collect them later.”
These were the fruits that Little Ah Yu had placed in the small basket and brought to Qin Huai’s house to dry so that she could talk to Qin Huai while drying the fruits.
On the way back to the Wang Family, Little Ah Yu was still discussing with Meatball in her heart.
“Elf, what are we going to sell that others don’t have? Our family is so poor!”
Meatball thought for a moment and said, “Actually, you don’t have to make things to sell. You can also plant them yourself. The Myriad Spirit Space can grow many things. The previous truffles and Paris polyphylla can’t be planted, but I heard that there’s also things like mountain ginseng and so on. They’re also very expensive. After planting them in the spatial pocket and selling them, you can earn a lot of money.”
This was also Meatball’s initial thought.
Now, the Myriad Spirit Space was already filled with vitality. It was filled with the various wild fruits that Little Ah Yu had planted along with some beans.
In addition, there were also those toads in the canal.
Yes, when those black tadpoles grew up, they became toads one after another. They all jumped around in the spatial pocket happily.
Meatball was about to die of disdain.
However, Little Ah Yu liked them very much and refused to throw them out.
Not only that, she also added some butterflies and bees. That day, she subconsciously caught a rabbit and it jumped around in her spatial pocket with the other creatures.
Perhaps because the spatial pocket had begun to become lively, Little Ah Yu’s imagination that changed from time to time also disappeared from the spatial pocket.
Now, the spatial pocket was filled with things that actually existed.
“Is wild ginseng delicious?” Little Ah Yu subconsciously said this aloud.
At this moment, an old man jumped out from the side, and the dog-beating stick in his hand left an afterimage.
Who else could it be but Divine Doctor Xue?
“Wild ginseng is good stuff! It’s very nourishing. It can raise the flesh and bones of the dead. Eat it and you’ll live forever!” Divine Doctor Xue stroked his dirty long beard and shook his head.
Little Ah Yu said, “Grandpa Divine Doctor, you’re back? Where did you go?”
Divine Doctor Xue had left the Wang Family two days ago. Everyone in the Wang Family thought that he had already left. Unexpectedly, he had returned in such a sorry state.
Divine Doctor Xue chuckled, and his face was covered in wrinkles. “I went to the Heavenly Court and came back from the Immortal Peach Banquet!”
“Wow, what is the Heavenly Court? Where is it? What is the Immortal Peach Banquet!”
“The Immortal Peach Banquet is a spirit feast hosted by the Queen Mother. Eating one peach can allow one to live forever, and eating two peaches can allow one to ascend to the heavens immediately!” Divine Doctor Xue said leisurely. “I ate three peaches!”
Little Ah Yu: “Ah, what will you become if you eat three?”
Divine Doctor Xue patted his chest. “You’ll become an extraordinarily handsome Divine Doctor!”
Little Ah Yu didn’t understand, but she felt that it was impressive.
Meatball only wanted to cover its head.
What Divine Doctor Xue said was strange. It was obvious that he had mental problems. Moreover, he was really sick.
No one believed what he said.
Other than Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu especially liked to hear Divine Doctor Xue speak.
Meatball began to consider whether it should give Divine Doctor Xue one of the nutrient solutions, but it didn’t know if there would be more in the future.
Unless it was for a mission, it felt that it was especially wasteful to give this thing to others.
It was also good to keep it as a family heirloom for the kid.
In the remaining long years, who knows if there would be a time when the kid would need it?
But now, Divine Doctor Xue was spouting nonsense in front of the child. Would he lead her astray?
Little Ah Yu held Divine Doctor Xue’s hand and said to him as they walked forward, “Grandpa Divine Doctor, the Immortal Peach Banquet definitely doesn’t let you eat to your fill right? I heard your stomach growling! There are still pancakes at home. Let’s go and eat pancakes!”
Divine Doctor Xue stuck the dog-beating stick in his hand into his belt and stretched out his other hand to tug at his beard.
“Sigh, speaking of the Immortal Peach Banquet, that’s a pity. The food is only a little bit. I only ate a few mouthfuls and it’s gone. Otherwise, I could really fill my stomach with the peaches!” Divine Doctor Xue shook his head as he spoke.
Little Ah Yu nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. If I can see the Queen Mother next time, I’ll get her to give you a few more and let Grandpa Divine Doctor eat your fill!”
“Little Ah Yu is still the best!”
At this moment, Third Aunt Hu’s howling voice sounded from behind.
“Donkey Zhang, come out! Donkey Zhang, don’t think that I won’t know just because you’re hiding at home. Look at the wicked things you’ve done!”
Third Aunt Hu was furious. When she looked up and saw Divine Doctor Xue, she felt angry. Just as she was about to curse, she saw Little Ah Yu beside Divine Doctor Xue.
In the end, she swallowed the curse words in her mouth and could only shout at the Wang Family.
“Flower Jiang, are you itching for a beating? Why are you shouting in front of my house?” Old Madam Wang came out.
Third Aunt Hu raised the beanstalk in her hand and pointed at the peeled beans on it. “Look, look, look at what that Divine Doctor Xue of yours did! How old are my bean stalks? He peeled it and even spread it all over the ground! It’s fine if he ate it, but he threw it all on the ground. Isn’t it making things difficult for me?!
Don’t say that he did it himself. What can a fool like him do?! You must have instructed him. It’s fine if you don’t like me, but what do you have against food?!
If you don’t give me an explanation today, I won’t leave. I’ll stay in front of your house and let others see how vicious you are!
It’s fine if we usually have conflicts, but now, you actually attacked our family’s crops. You’re really ruthless!!
You must give me an explanation, or compensate me!”
Everyone said that Divine Doctor Xue was extremely intelligent, but Third Aunt Hu never believed them. That damned old man was a fool.
They usually fought in the village.
He often carried the dog-beating stick around and insisted on trying out his dog-beating stick technique on a real dog.
It was fine since Third Aunt Hu did not have a dog at home, but now, Third Aunt Hu happened to see him disturbing her crops from afar.
