Xiao Xi Tian’s blank expression, as if she knew nothing, made Xiao Jin Heng very angry.
He took a step forward, looking down at Xiao Xi Tian.
He said in a muffled voice, "Little village girl, stop playing dumb. Where's my medicine?"
That’s right, for the past four years, he had been getting medicine from Xiao Xi Tian.
Each time, he would either give two silver ingots or a bag of grain.
At his stingiest, he would even give a basket of pastries.
In any case, he didn't take the little village girl's medicine for free.
"Oh, so it's about that! How could I forget!"
Xiao Xi Tian scratched her cheek, her big eyes looking up at the sky.
Xiao Jin Heng: "..."
Why does it feel like you forgot on purpose?
"Hand it over!" Xiao Jin Heng extended his small hand.
Xiao Xi Tian rummaged through her small satchel, and suddenly, her big eyes widened, "You haven't paid yet!"
You stinky brat, trying to get it for free!
No way!
Her asthma medicine is very precious.
Xiao Jin Heng twitched his lips, this greedy little girl.
Always asking for money.
He glanced back at Kong Xing Zhuo and ordered, "What are you standing there for? Give her the silver!~"
Kong Xing Zhuo scratched his head, "Young master, I left in a hurry and didn't, didn't bring any silver!"
Xiao Jin Heng was a little disappointed and looked at Granny Jin, "Give her the silver!"
Granny Jin, with a bamboo basket slung over her arm, chuckled, "Young master, this old servant didn't bring any silver either!"
"How about... how about we give this basket of oranges and apples to Little Sweet Treasure!~"
Oranges were very rare and precious fruits in a place like Da Shui Village.
Xiao Xi Tian had previously sent several large sacks of them to her family.
Now that the fruit trees in the space hadn't matured yet, her parents and siblings-in-law hadn't eaten oranges for a long time!
"Alright!"
Xiao Xi Tian nodded, reluctantly agreeing.
"Oranges it is!"
She handed the asthma inhaler to Xiao Jin Heng and took the bamboo basket from Granny Jin.
"Thank you, Grandma!~" Xiao Xi Tian tilted her small head and thanked her politely.
Granny Jin beamed with joy, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, "Oh, Sweet Treasure is so good, come, let Grandma give you a kiss!"
How could the little daughter of the Yun family be so cute?
She looked like a powder puff and smiled like a fairy, evoking pity and love.
Granny Jin crouched down, and before she could reach out to hug her, Xiao Xi Tian gave her a 'smack' kiss.
Granny Jin was so happy she almost fainted.
Seeing this, Kong Xing Zhuo frowned, feeling a pang of sourness in his heart.
Little Sweet Treasure hadn't kissed him for a long time.
This Granny Jin really knew how to please.
Xiao Jin Heng's face also darkened slightly, and he snorted, "It's just a basket of oranges, is it worth all the kissing and hugging?"
As soon as he said this, all the mischievous boys looked at him with disdain.
You're just sour because you can't have it.
They followed Little Sweet Treasure around eagerly, but who among them had ever been kissed by her?
Even her second nephew didn't have that honor.
Xiao Xi Tian gave Xiao Jin Heng a glare, "Hmph, Grandma Jin is better than you, makes you angry!"
You stinky brat, the angrier you get, the more pleased I'll be!
Xiao Jin Heng furrowed his brow and stared at Xiao Xi Tian for a moment.
He knew the little village girl's weaknesses and shortcomings.
If she saw gold and silver, she would definitely lower her standards.
She would do anything to get it, no matter how embarrassing.
So Xiao Jin Heng felt around his body and took out a jade thumb ring from his embrace.
As the sunlight shone down, the jade thumb ring was crystal clear, round, and exquisite.
Like a pool of clear spring water, quietly flowing around the thumb ring.
Fu Xiao Qiang's eyes widened, exclaiming, "Wow, so pretty!"
Better than the garlic paste jar his dad collected.
Du Jin Qiang also stared blankly, his expression exaggerated, "Such a good thing, how much silver is it worth!~"
Yun Jin Shan glanced at him and snorted, "You've never seen the world!"
His grandfather's newly replaced jade pipe was no better than this broken thumb ring?
It was strange, the last time Old Man Yun went to the city to sell grain, his tobacco pouch was accidentally crushed by a carriage.
When he returned home, there was a jade pipe on the kang.
The whole family understood tacitly, and they doted on Little Sweet Treasure even more.
"Why are you taking this thing?" Xiao Xi Tian asked him.
Xiao Jin Heng straightened his back and said solemnly, "Little village girl, as long as you sing a song for this young master, I'll give you this jade thumb ring!~"
With such astonishing temptation, he didn't believe the little village girl would refuse...
Once, while he was resting in the garden, he suddenly heard a pleasant singing voice from next door.
The singing was melodious and beautiful, like a lark chirping gently.
It was even better than the singing of the palace courtesans.
Xiao Xi Tian twitched her lips and chuckled, "You really want to hear me sing?"
As long as you're not afraid of your meridians being damaged and your ears going deaf, I dare to sing.
Yun Jin Shan stifled a laugh.
His little aunt had been tone-deaf since childhood, and her singing was terrible.
How desperate was this stinky brat to ask his aunt to sing.
The best voice in the family was Hu Xi Er.
Not only did she sing vividly, but she also sang opera with great flair and beauty.
"Okay!~" Xiao Xi Tian accepted the jade thumb ring and cleared her throat.
The mischievous boys held their breath, looking expectant.
They had followed Little Sweet Treasure for so long, and they hadn't heard her sing yet.
They couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Granny Jin and Kong Xing Zhuo also looked hopeful, even rubbing their hands.
A high-pitched, piercing, and ear-splitting voice suddenly rang out.
"Ah ah! The happy gongs and drums, beat out the joy of the year!"
"The beautiful dance brings endless joy..."
Everyone: "..."
Two lines of lyrics, do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do, not a single note was in tune.
Xiao Jin Heng's face turned as black as ink, his ears buzzing.
He swore he had never heard such an unpleasant tune.
Granny Jin and Kong Xing Zhuo were equally shocked.
Sweet Treasure looked soft and cute, why was her singing so indescribable?
"Stop, don't sing anymore!"
Xiao Jin Heng shouted, his pupils trembling slightly.
"Little village girl, are you playing a trick on this young master?"
Xiao Xi Tian blinked her innocent big eyes, feigning ignorance, "Didn't you ask me to sing!"
You stinky brat, so much trouble.
"How about, how about I sing a softer song?" Xiao Xi Tian tentatively asked.
Yun Jin Shan: "..."
Little aunt, it's better if you don't sing.
Fu Xiao Qiang, who had just been shaken by the singing, still had stars in his eyes.
Xiao Jin Heng felt he had been tricked, he stepped forward and snatched the jade thumb ring back.
"Hand it over!"
"Ah! You stinky brat, how dare you go back on your word!~" Xiao Xi Tian's small face turned red.
Am I easy to bully!
Xiao Jin Heng smiled faintly, "Little village girl, your singing is so bad, and you still have the nerve to ask for things? Aren't you ashamed!"
As soon as he said this, he was met with strong dissatisfaction from the mischievous boys.
"Hey, who gave you the guts to bully Little Sweet Treasure?"
"If you don't return the thumb ring to Little Sweet Treasure, we'll beat you up!"
"Stinky brat, I've disliked you for a long time, do you want to fight?"
"..."
Xiao Jin Heng remained unmoved, his expression unchanged.
However, Xiao Xi Tian, taking advantage of his inattention, took a small step and rushed forward.
Then, with a 'swish,' Xiao Jin Heng's pants were pulled down...
