Chapter 31

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Han Jianglou was worried about Dong Nuan, but he did not want to meet in private, lest others say unpleasant things.

Therefore, he came straight here in the middle of the day.

There were so many people around, and the elders were all here. Even if the others saw it, they could not say anything.

Han Jianglou was a nice guy. After entering the mountain and walking around, he picked some raspberries and soaked them. They were sour and sweet. Children should like to eat this, right?

In the eyes of Han Jianglou, Dong Nuan was just a child.

Therefore, he was only thinking about the tastes of children.

Of course, Han Jianglou was dissatisfied with just finding some raspberries. However, there were only a few things that grew in the mountains, like apricots and peaches in winter. He could only give up regretfully when he did not see them after walking around most of the mountain.

Thinking of Dong Nuan’s long hair, Han Jianglou planned to make two hair-ties for her while waiting for the big marriage.

Children should like that, right?

Han Jianglou thought about it uncertainly.

When he came over, she had just sat up on the ground. There were still beads of sweat on the little girl’s burnt skin.

Dong Nuan roughly raised her hand and wiped her sweat away. Now that everyone was aware of what was happening, Dong Nuan did not say anything unreasonable. ‘I’m a god. I have to pay attention to my image.’

God…

That was in her previous life. It was better not to think about that now.

She raised his hand and wiped her forehead. Just as she was about to bend down, she sensed a pleasant smell approaching.

A humanoid pill!

Dong Nuan instantly reacted. Her slightly bent waist suddenly straightened, and she turned around and said with a smile, “Brother Han!”

Dong Nuan’s voice was crisp and sweet, carrying a little childishness and a hint of girlish sweetness.

Han Jianglou clearly treated Dong Nuan like a child, but when he heard the little girl’s voice, the tips of his ears still subconsciously turned red.

Fortunately, his skin was tanned and very dark. It was only slightly red. Still, he did not know what to do with himself.

On the other hand, Madam Dong Wu was very friendly. Of course, it was also possible that she had seen the big leaf in Han Jianglou’s hand.

The leaf was folded very well. It was obvious that it was wrapping something up. Dong Yao had been staring at it since long ago and even tugged at Madam Dong Wu’s sleeve.

When Madam Dong Wu saw the item, her eyes immediately lit up. She walked over and said with a smile, “The boy from the Han family is here. Are you here to deliver something to Lil Nuan?”

Madam Dong Wu felt that since she had already asked, how could Han Jianglou not hand the thing over?

Madam Dong Wu’s hand was about to reach out, but it was intercepted by Dong Nuan.

She opened the leaves of the big tree and saw that it was wrapped around some bright red raspberries. They were well protected by Han Jianglou. They were not crushed and still intact.

“Wow, it’s a whole bunch!” Dong Nuan liked fruits, all kinds of sweet fruits.

Therefore, although the berries were small, she was not picky.

The little girl exclaimed with a smile on her face. Then, she raised her head and looked at Han Jianglou with a smile. “Big Brother Han, you’re so awesome. These berries look delicious!”

As Dong Nuan spoke, she grabbed two and threw them into her mouth.

Feeling the berry being crushed between her lips and teeth and the juice instantly exploding in her mouth… There was sweetness in the sourness, which overshadowed the sourness, making the berry taste very good. Dong Nuan relaxed her eyes in satisfaction and sighed. “Delicious.”

After she finished eating, she did not forget to grab a few and hand them to Han Jianglou. “Brother Han, you should eat too. It’s really delicious.”

Of course, Han Jianglou would not eat it. Back on the mountain, he was afraid that it would not taste good, so he tested it. He chose the sweetest branch to pick for Dong Nuan.

At this moment, he felt comfortable being fed by the little girl, but he did not take it. Instead, he smiled and said, “Lil Nuan, you eat.”

He even raised his hand to touch Dong Nuan’s head and sighed in his heart. As expected of a little girl, she was easy to coax.

Han Jianglou could be slightly relieved.

He did not want to stay for too long. He was afraid that the Dong family would despise him, so when he saw Dong Nuan eating happily, he quietly said, “I’ll head back now.”

“Okay. Take care, Big Brother Han.” Dong Nuan quietly sucked on the humanoid pill’s energy and waved goodbye to him.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Han Jianglou’s face. Seeing that Dong Nuan had lowered her head and was eating again, he turned around and left.

Madam Dong Wu was at the side. She had not gotten to eat anything besides a metaphorical serving of dog food. She did not feel too good.

Although Dong Yao wanted to eat, the food was in Dong Nuan’s hands. He did not dare to!

Was the beating yesterday afternoon not enough?

Now that Dong Nuan was looking at him, Dong Yao had to clench his butt tightly, afraid that Dong Nuan would beat him up.

Back then, his sister would still indulge him. Now, when his sister hit him, it was really painful!

Second Aunt looked on enviously from the side. She could not help but raise her neck and say, “Hey, I say, Lil Nuan, why do you only thinking about eating for yourself when you receive gifts at the door? Don’t you know how to be filial to your elders? You, girl, you’re really…”

Second Aunt wanted to eat it, but it was not appropriate to ask for it directly.

After all, she had not been able to get anything from Dong Nuan for the past two days, so she had to change her strategy now.

Dong Xing was already very unhappy because of the Liao family’s marriage proposal and the fact that she had been craving Dong Nuan’s food for the past two days. At this moment, she naturally agreed with her mother. “That’s right, that’s right! You don’t even know how to give food to your elders. You’re unfilial!”

It was rare for Dong Nuan to choose to not argue with the two of them. Because it was not easy to finish everything, she replied with a smile, “You’re right, Second Aunt.”

Upon hearing this, Second Aunt’s eyes lit up. She wiped her hands on the side of her pants and prepared to take the fruit.

Dong Nuan looked at her with a smile, making Second Aunt feel a little embarrassed. She was about to extend her hand when she realized that Dong Nuan had walked past her.

Past…

Second Aunt’s smile froze on her face. After pausing for a long time, she stiffly turned her neck to look to the side.

At this moment, Dong Nuan was already presenting the berries to Old Madam Dong as if she was presenting a treasure.

Old Madam Dong did not care about these fruits. It was just a few berries, but Dong Nuan’s sincerity made her feel good.

In the past, she thought that this child had been taught to be useless by that silly Dong Wu. Who would have thought that after experiencing a near-death situation, this child would be enlightened?

Naturally, Old Madam Dong would not steal food from a child. At most, she would take a few and give them to Old Fifth’s two children. The two little brats were still young and had sweet tooths. Old Madam Dong liked looking at them.

“Grandma, eat.” As if presenting a treasure, Dong Nuan held the food in front of Old Madam Dong.

Old Madam Dong’s usually long face cracked to reveal a rare smile. She raised her rough hand and touched Dong Nuan’s head. “Lil Nuan, eat it yourself. Don’t ruin the Han family’s boy’s good intentions.”

After saying that, Old Madam Dong thought for a moment and said, “Grandma will take a few and give them to your Fifth Uncle’s two children.”

Old Madam Dong only took a few, and she was especially careful.

The berries’ skin was tender. If she grabbed them too hard, it would make a mess.

Madam Dong quickly returned to the tree by the field. Dong Nuan did not go far. She walked a few steps forward to Old Dong and said with a smile, “Grandpa, eat.”

Old man Dong would not act too greedy for this mouthful of food, but he happened to have something to say to Dong Nuan. He thought about it and was about to speak when he saw Dong Nuan turn around and greet someone with a smile. “Hello, Grandpa Chief!”
