Chapter 43: Unworthy
"I can't sell it......"
The sunset hung reluctantly on the top of the mountain, Xiao Yuer sat on the steps of her room, holding her chin and saying with some distress.
In front of her was the small cart, full of sweet rice cakes, neatly arranged, and a day had passed, and few had barely been sold, and even the cost had not been returned.
"Could it be that you don't make it delicious?" Li Hao looked at the little widow's face was bitter, her beautiful face was full of worries that did not match her age, and the anger that was framed by Li Ke just now was suddenly gone, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Really?" he said and laughed, Xiao Yu'er took it seriously when she heard it, her little head was biased and thought for a while, and she quickly picked up a piece of millet cake and handed it to Li Hao: "Brother Hao, can you taste it?"
Li Hao was so amused by this silly little girl that he wanted to laugh, but he still took the rice cake seriously.
"It smells so good. He sniffed the rice cake and said with a look of intoxication, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Yu'er's jade hand dishonestly.
Xiao Yu'er's face turned a little red when she was stared at by him, so she had to say weakly: "You try it quickly." As he spoke, his big eyes stared at him tightly, like a child waiting for an adult's compliment.
Li Hao smiled, picked up the rice cake and chewed it on his mouth a few times, and slowly frowned.
"What's wrong, isn't it delicious?" Xiao Yu'er looked nervous.
"Yes. Li Hao nodded, and when he saw that Xiao Yu'er's face turned pale, he hurriedly laughed: "You stupid girl, I lied to you, this rice cake is sweet and fragrant, smooth and tender, and delicious." ”
"Really?" Xiao Yu'er looked at him in surprise.
"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you. Seeing that she was really cute, Li Hao couldn't help but reach out and rub her long silky hair, and said with a smile.
Xiao Yu'er was taken aback by his affectionate behavior, her body froze suddenly, and she stammered, "Hao...... Brother Hao, you ......"
"Okay, okay, just don't touch you. Seeing that she was so nervous, Li Hao also said helplessly, and changed the topic: "Your sweet rice cake is very delicious, and the price is cheap, it is impossible that it can't be sold, this matter must be related to the Wolf Tooth Gang." ”
"However, it wasn't ...... last time" Xiao Yu'er's face was still flushed, and she whispered.
"They don't dare to do anything, but the bad reputation is there, and who would dare to risk offending them to buy your sweet rice cakes. Li Hao shook his head and said.
Xiao Yu'er thought about it, and also understood the entanglement, and her delicate eyebrows wrinkled: "Brother Hao, what can I do now?"
In the past, she lived alone, she had to rely on herself for everything, and her brain turned very fast when she encountered difficulties, but now that someone is helping, she doesn't know what is wrong, so she doesn't like to figure out how to figure it out, and Xiao Yuer doesn't know if she has become stupid, or if she is a little dependent on the person in front of her.
Li Hao saw that she was so cute to even frown, and his heart was a little itchy, but he still stopped the urge to rub his eyebrows, and thought for a moment and said: "What else can I do, don't sell it, anyway, selling this thing is also thankless, aren't you just harvested, it's enough to eat for a while, right?"
Xiao Yu'er shook her head, her little face full of worry: "Then what should I do? In the past, I could survive a year by saving food, but this year it was flooded, and the harvest was nearly half, so I had to find some other work to do." ”
"Then don't choose this, you have to grind rice, make cakes, and rush to the market to sell, and secretly you have to watch out for those guys, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Li Hao said, his expression flickered, but his tone was a little more domineering, staring at her and said: "Listen to me, don't sell any rice cakes from tomorrow, don't save food, after half a month and a month, I will make arrangements, anyway, I won't let you go hungry." ”
Xiao Yu'er turned to look at him, her big eyes a little puzzled.
"What's the matter, I think I'm just a little house slave, I can't get by, I don't have the ability to help you?" Li Hao said with a smile.
"That's not what the slave family meant. Xiao Yu'er was not shy this time, she looked at Li Hao, thought about it, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Brother Hao, in fact, the slave family has always had a question for you." ”
"What's the problem?" Li Hao asked curiously.
"Little Brother Hao, why are you so good to me?" Xiao Yu'er clenched her hands nervously, feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Li Hao didn't expect this little girl to suddenly ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, and finally turned into a wry smile: Why are you so good? Actually, I also want to know...... Maybe it's the rebellious mission, or maybe it's because I like you a little bit too.
He was stunned for a moment, Xiao Yu'er's courage that she had finally mustered disappeared in an instant, and she also realized that the question she asked was a little out of bounds, so she quickly turned her eyes away again, not daring to look at Li Hao.
"This little girl is so thin-skinned. The two were embarrassed like this for a few seconds, Li Hao smiled helplessly, changed the topic and asked, "By the way, what are your plans in the future?"
"Later?" Xiao Yu'er thought for a while, tilted her head and smiled slightly: "Didn't Brother Hao say that it would be arranged for the slave family?"
"I'm not talking about that. Li Hao shook his head, thinking of that task, his expression was more solemn: "I'm talking about a lifetime." ”
"For a lifetime?" Xiao Yu'er was stunned.
To tell the truth, she had thought about this question more than once, she used to think that she was a widow, as long as she was plain, she was lucky to eat well and sleep warmly, and never dared to ask for anything else, but now, when she thought about this problem again, she always felt that there were other emotions sprouting, was that hope, or was it more fear?
"You haven't thought about this?" asked Li Hao with a frown.
"Yes! Xiao Yu'er quickly retorted when she heard this, but she didn't know how to answer.
Seeing her like this, Li Hao also sighed, and there was a little more emotion in his voice: "Your father and mother gave birth to you, but they sold you, and your husband and mother-in-law bought you, but they are all gone now, you don't owe anyone anymore, why don't you live for yourself?"
Xiao Yu'er heard what he said, her heart was pounding, but she seemed to remember something, and her expression slowly dimmed: "But, where can Yu'er go? Yu'er is a widow, and the Yang family ......."
"What's the matter with those old stubborns? You didn't sell yourself to the Yang family. Li Hao shook his head, stared at Xiao Yu'er again, and said, "The key is yourself, haven't you thought about making any changes?"
Xiao Yu'er's heart was pounding when he asked, and she felt the other party's burning gaze, so she hurriedly lowered her head, and only after a long time did a very low voice come out: "Brother Hao, the sun is big, let's not sit here, it's very sunny." ”
"You are a ......" Li Hao was still waiting for her to answer, but when he saw her so evasive, his words seemed to want to drive him away, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"Brother Hao, I'm sorry. Xiao Yu'er heard the disappointment in his tone, and only felt a throbbing pain in her heart, her voice trembled slightly, but she still insisted: "Brother Hao, Yu'er is really a little tired and wants to go back to the house to rest." ”
"Okay. Li Hao was very helpless, although he had already taken over the task, and he did like this little widow a little, but the other party rejected him like this, he was also a little depressed, not to mention that now Li Hao felt a little sorry for Yan'er in his heart, although the two of them had been separated in two worlds.
"It's getting late, you go back to the house, I'll go first." Li Hao said, reached out and rubbed her long hair again, before getting up and leaving.
"Yes. Xiao Yu'er didn't dodge this time, but just responded obediently.
When Li Hao saw her like this, he also knew that the other party's personality had always been cowardly, and he forced it too hard, so he had to be ruthless and turn away.
Xiao Yu'er sat on the steps, and it wasn't until Li Hao walked away that she finally raised her head, looking at the back of the leaving, her beautiful eyes were already full of tears, and a smile appeared on her face, but with a little poignant: "Brother Hao, Yu'er likes you, but Yu'er ...... Yu'er is not worthy of you. ”
