A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Chapter 324 Deceitful and Attentive

"Niu Niu, come back quickly, stop working, stop working."

When Wang Baoquan saw Niu Niu from afar, his face crinkled into a wide smile as he looked at her.

Niu Niu thought she had misheard, and stood timidly in place, staring blankly at him. She was terrified of being beaten.

"Niu Niu, come back with Grandpa. He'll give you something delicious to eat, and lots of other kids will play with you."

The softer he spoke, the more terrified Niu Niu became, clutching the little piece of firewood in her arms and shrinking back as far as she could.

"gone."

Seeing that Niu Niu wouldn't listen to him, he suddenly became fierce.

Niu Niu shuddered, quickly dropped the firewood in her hand, and followed Wang Baoquan back.

"I'm telling you, you should play well with those kids later, and hopefully they'll all like you so they can take you with them when they leave."

"Grandpa, I'm not leaving."

Niu Niu stopped in her tracks in fright, because Wang Baoquan had previously said that if she ran off with someone else, he would break her dog legs.

"You have to leave, how can you not leave?"

Seeing how determined Niu Niu was, even more sincere than a loyal servant, Wang Baoquan became frightened, and his voice softened.

"Niu Niu, how about this, Grandpa will make you a new dress. You can change into it, take some treats, and go back to find your cousin, okay?"

Here we go again. Niu Niu had seen Wang Baoquan's fierce side before, so now that he was being so amiable, she felt that he was testing her. She even thought that if she said something wrong, she would be beaten up.

“I won’t go, I won’t go, Niu Niu will never leave, I won’t see my cousin.”

Niu Niu waved her hand while looking at him with a pale face.

"Niu Niu, you're being disobedient again."

He was about to raise his voice when he remembered that Niu Niu might be frightened by him, so he lowered his voice, squatted down, and patiently explained to Niu Niu:

"Niu Niu, be good. Grandpa was wrong before. From now on, you'll have good food and fun things to do with your cousin, and you won't have to serve anyone anymore. You can also marry into a good family in the future."

You'll still have to work for Grandpa and take care of Fatty. If you don't do a good job, Grandpa will beat you. Think about it, where do you want to enjoy yourself?

Although Niu Niu was well-behaved, she was still too young and a little confused at the moment. She couldn't tell whether Wang Baoquan was being sincere or not, and stood there blankly.

"That's right. If you leave, you'll get good food and new clothes. If you stay, you'll get nothing. Only a fool wouldn't leave, right?"

Wang Baoquan was unusually patient, carefully guiding Niu Niu to think.

"Grandpa, is everything you said true?"

Realizing that what Wang Baoquan said might be true, Niu Niu almost burst into tears. She still couldn't believe it and wanted to confirm it again.

"Of course it's true. When has Grandpa ever lied?"

He has absolutely no credibility with Niu Niu. He initially said he would bring her here to enjoy a life of luxury, but then he got beaten up.

However, Niu Niu dared not say these words.

"You're not allowed to call me 'Grandpa' anymore. Call me 'Grandpa' now. Only good children call each other 'Grandpa,' okay?"

At this moment, Wang Baoquan spoke even more kindly than he did to Pang Hu, but Niu Niu thought it was all fake.

"Okay, Grandpa."

When Niu Niu spoke, Wang Baoquan was overjoyed; finally, there was a chance to get rid of this plague.

"Come on, let's go wash our faces."

It was called washing her face, but it was just wiping her face with a damp cloth. With water resources scarce these days, Wang Baoquan couldn't bear to waste a single drop on Niu Niu.

After finding Niu Niu, Wang Baoquan handed her over to Deng Shi, instructing his daughter-in-law to clean and tidy Niu Niu as much as possible, and also told Chen Shi to hurry up with her work and not waste any time.

Deng was originally taking care of Pang Hu, but now she can't take care of Pang Hu anymore, so she can only come and serve Niu Niu.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't dare to disobey him, but they still had some complaints about his actions. Things that originally belonged to Fatty Tiger were now being divided up, so how could they not have grievances?

Wang Baoquan wasn't idle either. He took out his treasured popcorn and distributed it to the children one by one, telling them in a flattering way that he would introduce them to a new friend later and that they should all take care of him.

Especially Lanling, after giving everyone his instructions, Wang Baoquan secretly stuffed all of Lanling's pockets and whispered to him that he must get along well with Niu Niu, who was Ma Rulan's cousin.

"I know, my sister told me that you wouldn't give it to me, right?"

Lanling dismissed it lightly, not taking it to heart, which only exacerbated Wang Baoquan's anxiety.

"Oh dear, no, it's all a misunderstanding. Grandpa was just about to send her back, but he just couldn't find the time."

Lanling, while stuffing her mouth with food, glanced at him and said, "Grandpa, you want her to do your bidding, right? How can you say you don't have time?"

A child's words struck a nerve, and Wang Baoquan's smile froze, forcing a forced smile:

"Hehe, you little brat, you're just talking nonsense. When did Grandpa ever think that way? Your sister must have misheard you."

Look, Grandpa's giving you good food now, so don't wrong him. Otherwise, give it back.

Wang Baoquan was deliberately teasing Lanling, and Lanling, knowing when to stop, immediately clutched his pocket tightly and said:

"No, I believe you."

Upon hearing that Lanling had fallen for the trap, Wang Baoquan was overjoyed and quickly held the water pouch to Lanling's mouth, asking:

"Are you thirsty? Have some water to soothe your throat."

Their attentive manner was even more adept than that of a eunuch serving the emperor.

Lanling was flattered and quickly sipped the drink. After he finished, someone even wiped his mouth.

Lanling felt a little uncomfortable, said thank you, and turned to find other children.

Aside from being thin from hunger, Niu Niu is quite cute when dressed up.

Deng wiped her face, tied two small buns on her head, found an old coat of Fatty Tiger for her to wear, and sent it to her father-in-law.

Wang Baoquan looked Niu Niu up and down, and when he saw that Niu Niu's shoes had her big toe sticking out, he asked Deng to bring out Pang Hu's shoes and make a new pair for Niu Niu.

Fat Tiger didn't have two pairs of shoes. If he altered a pair for Niu Niu, he would be one pair short. Deng Shi was so heartbroken that she almost bit her lip until it bled, but she still had to do it.

Wang Baoquan wasn't being kind; he was worried that Niu Niu wouldn't be dressed well enough and would be disliked by Lanling.

He wanted to dress Niu Niu up beautifully and cutely to attract Lan Ling's attention. The two children were about the same age, and if Lan Ling got along well with Niu Niu, it was highly likely that he would take her home.

Once Niu Niu returns home, he will return her indenture to Ma Rulan, and this matter will have nothing to do with his family anymore. The female ghost should also be unable to haunt his grandson.

In this way, even if Wen Meijiu secretly knew something, she couldn't go against Ma Rulan's reluctance to part with her cousin. The possibility of sending her back had been blocked by him, and any further trouble would have to be dealt with by them.

The thought that the troubles involving Fatty Tiger might be transferred to Lanling made Wang Baoquan burst out laughing. At that time, Wen Meijiu would also be punished by evil spirits.
