Chapter 133

Meow, Meow, Meow (3)

He took out a few exercise books as well as drawing books from the shelf. “Here, these are for you. If you like them, take them home with you.”

Jiang Xiaoman liked the drawing book very much. The white paper made people want to scribble on it very much, but she was reluctant to do it.

Because her drawings were so ugly.

All of her drawings look like tadpoles or ghostly scratch marks.

Jiang Xiaoman was very prideful, but she was self-aware of this weakness.

“If I take them, where would you write?”

Yu Qingshi pointed at the row of books behind him. “I still have… a lot.”

“Wow!” Jiang Xiaoman exclaimed in surprise, then accepted them in peace. She thanked him, “Thank you, Yu Qingshi. You really are a good person. You sent me exercise books before, but I already gave them to Teacher Tang.”

It was a beautiful accident.

Yu Qingshi blushed with shame.

He originally didn’t give them with good intentions. He only wanted to let her know how amazing he was; he didn’t expect that she would become so happy.

Yu Qingshi was embarrassed inside, and he said in a small voice, “If you like them, then that’s good.”

Eh, there was no way around it. She was so pitiful and miserable, but still so strong and optimistic. His Dad was right; he had to study from and be grateful to her more. Yu Qingshi felt that the world had become more wonderful and interesting.

Please treat her better in the future.

This child was so pitiful.

The two children played together until they forgot the time. Only when the evening came did Jiang Xiaoman remember to go home.

At that time, Yu Wencheng arrived home. When he saw her, he asked her to stay for dinner and told her to leave after eating.

He had already asked the maid, and learnt that his son and Xiaoman had been playing for a long time. He felt really moved.

She was the only one who could coax his son, play with him peacefully and cure his picky eating problems. Yu Wencheng really wanted to treat her like a little ancestor.

It would be great if he could keep her here; there was no need for her to go home.

Jiang Xiaoman also wanted to stay, but she felt very guilty.

She had already eaten Yu Qingshi’s beef jerky. If she also had dinner there, what would Grandma do to her when she got home?

“Uncle Yu, I have already eaten beef jerky…” She hesitated, saying, “I can’t eat any more food. Grandma will scold me.”

Jiang Xiaoman shook her head, “No, we’re just going bankrupt.”

“??” Yu Wencheng was dazed again.

Very often, he would be caught off guard when talking to Jiang Xiaoman and could not follow what she was thinking.

Jiang Xiaoman cried and said, “I don’t understand either. In short, Grandma said that Uncle is at a critical juncture and is short on money. Our family will go bankrupt and have no money to eat meat. She told me to learn to endure hardships, so we can still survive through the hard times.”

“……”

Yu Wencheng was suspicious. Did something big happen to the Jiang family that he did not notice?

But he still saw Jiang Xing today, and it didn’t seem like he was going to go bankrupt. Had life in his family already become so miserable?

Yu Wencheng calmly asked, and only then did he understand the whole story.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed Xiaoman’s head and said, “I understand. I’ll find a chance to talk to your uncle.”
