The Tyrant Father's Pampered Daughter

Chapter 86: They’ll Bully You

The child didn’t think too much about it and only said softly, “Perhaps it’s because the weather is cold now, so the elderly and children are all resting at home!”

Gu Nuo’er fluttered her long eyelashes and looked at the long line in front. “Elder Brother Siming, there’s no hurry. Let’s take a look first.”

Ye Siming pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. He lowered his head and looked at Gu Nuo’er.

The child was wearing rough clothes, but they could not hide her small, round, fair, and tender face.

A thin layer of red appeared on the tip of her nose as if she had applied rouge.

She rubbed her small hands from time to time, puffing out white fog from her pink lips.

Ye Siming frowned. “Wait here.”

After saying that, he turned around and left. Not long later, he disappeared around the corner of the street.

Gu Nuo’er craned her neck and looked curiously. “What did Elder Brother Siming go off to do?”

She could only stand there and wait obediently.

At this moment, the man in front turned around and looked at the girl who was the size of a radish.

“Young girl, you came for porridge with just your brother?” The guy was about 30 years old and was wearing cotton clothing. His thin face was sunken in and he had a scholarly vibe.

He had long noticed Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er.

It was because they looked too young.

They were wearing rough clothes, but their dispositions were outstanding. It was difficult not to notice them.

Gu Nuo’er looked up at the man in front of her and said in a soft tone, “It’s not convenient for the others at home. Only my brother and I came.”

Her voice was sweet and she looked obedient and beautiful.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he thought that the elders in her family were all sick. This was why they could only let the older brother bring his younger sister, who was only three or four years old, out.

How pitiful!

The man couldn’t help but sigh. He squatted down and lowered his voice. “Young girl, Uncle wants to tell you that you can go back now. I’ll help you get the porridge. You and your brother won’t get the porridge if you go like this.”

Gu Nuo’er tilted her head, her eyes wide and bright, filled with confusion. “Why? Isn’t everyone queuing here?”

“Although the imperial court has provided us with a porridge stall, those who are giving out the porridge are all beggars and scoundrels from nearby!

“In the beginning, they snatched the porridge, so the imperial court ordered them to become the ones distributing the porridge. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be given any food.

“However, who would have expected that this group of scoundrels would be so greedy? If you get the porridge here, the food will be snatched away by another group of beggars when you reach the corner!”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he sized up Gu Nuo’er. “You’re still too young so they’ll definitely bully you. If young and strong people like us go, the food won’t be snatched away as easily.”

Gu Nuo’er’s eyelashes flickered and she understood.

No wonder the ones queuing were the young and strong people. Everyone was afraid of having the food snatched from them!

For a moment, the child felt that even if she thought of a way to stop the hooligans from snatching the porridge…

They were really greedy and despicable.

Gu Nuo’er’s eyes curved, looking very innocent and cute. “Uncle, don’t worry. My brother is very amazing. They won’t be able to snatch the porridge away!”

The middle-aged man looked at the cute child in front of him and sighed. “Alright, if there’s a need to later, you can say that you’re my children. You’ll be given more care then.”

Gu Nuo’er nodded. “Uncle, you’re really a good person.”

The man smiled helplessly. “Although I’m poor, I mustn’t be lacking in ambition. I went out to ask for a divination today and it’s said that I would meet a benefactor today.

“But look, don’t I still have to stand here and ask for porridge to fill my family’s stomachs? The poor have ways to live on without money. The world is prosperous now, and there will definitely be a day when I can succeed.”

He didn’t see the ripples in Gu Nuo’er’s eyes.

The child confirmed his words softly, “You will.”
