“What’s wrong, Little Danggui?”
Her father noticed something was off about his daughter and asked with some confusion.
However,
As he asked this.
The little girl, Chen Danggui, who was previously frightened and acting as if she’d seen a ghost, had already regained her composure.
“I don’t know.”
“I just thought that the masked weirdo was really scary.”
“But now…it doesn’t seem that scary anymore.”
Chen Danggui tugged at the small braid on the top of her head, a puzzled expression on her face.
She was also somewhat confused.
Why was she scared before?
But not scared at all now?
Being young, she naturally wouldn’t know.
Before Chen Sheng left, he had already used the ability of the Eye of True View to remove all her negative emotions.
He also took away the curiosity that her father and the grocery store owner felt when they saw Chen Sheng, to avoid any complications.
“Little devil.”
Seeing his daughter’s puzzled face.
Her father thought she was just being goofy as usual, so he smiled and playfully flicked her clean forehead.
“Ah, that’s annoying!”
Annoyed, Chen Danggui instantly put Chen Sheng’s matter behind her and repeatedly punched her father’s leg with her small fists. The two entered the grocery store while playfully quarreling.
“Uncle Fu.”
Father Chen greeted the store owner.
The old man, who was previously squinting while listening to the radio and had been ignoring Chen Sheng, immediately got up from his bamboo chair at the sound of Father Chen’s voice.
“It’s an honor, Old Chen.”
“Going to gather herbs in the mountains again today?”
Seeing the small bamboo basket on Chen Danggui’s back, the wrinkled old face squeezed out a fawning smile. “Little Danggui is getting prettier.”
While speaking.
The store owner also waved at Chen Danggui.
Hmph!
Chen Danggui didn’t show any mercy in the face of the owner’s goodwill, and
just turned her face away.
She didn’t forget how this old man bullied them before her brother went to
Kyoto.
“Danggui, don’t be rude!”
Seeing his daughter’s behavior,
Father Chen was immediately embarrassed.
After scolding his daughter, he looked at the store owner with an apologetic smile.
“I’m sorry, Uncle Fu. My child doesn’t understand, don’t take it personally.”
“It’s alright, it’s alright.’
The store owner waved his hand nonchalantly, apparently not minding at all.
“You know, you have such a successful son, and still, you keep busy every day.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy life like me?”
Father Chen just chuckled at the store owner’s advice and didn’t respond.
His gaze searched around the store.
“Uncle Fu, I need to buy a shovel. The one at home broke a few days ago.”
The store owner’s grocery store also sold farming tools.
“Alright, alright.”
This time,
The store owner didn’t act indifferent as he did when dealing with Chen Sheng.
Instead, he took brisk steps, and ran to the back of the store.
When he reappeared,
He had a shovel for gathering herbs in his hand.
This shovel was necessary for preserving the integrity of the herbs when gathering them in the mountains.
“Here.”
After taking the shovel from the store owner,
Father Chen prepared to scan the QR code to make the payment.
But at that moment,
“No, no, no.”
“Your son went to Kyoto and followed a big shot.”
“We, the people of Datian Village, can’t let you spend any more money.”
The store owner hurriedly reached out to try to stop Father Chen from scanning the QR code.
Unfortunately,
Whether it was his advanced age causing slow actions or some other reason,
His hand was ultimately slower than Father Chen’s phone.
“I’ll pay for this too.”
After paying the store owner,
Father Chen grabbed grief-stricken Chen Danggui’s hand and left the grocery store together.
“Feel free to come over and have tea with me anytime, old man-” The store owner was very enthusiastic in seeing them off.
However,
As soon as Father Chen and his daughter disappeared from sight, The smile on the store owner’s face disappeared completely.
“Show off.”
“Keep pretending. ”
He spat fiercely onto the ground.
His face full of undisguised jealousy.
“Your son got lucky and followed a big shot.”
“You just have to show off in the village every day, right?”
“Your family will have bad luck sooner or later.”
After cursing a few times,
The store owner felt extremely refreshed.
He then leisurely lay on the bamboo chair, humming along to the opera on the radio.
On the road in Datian Village. “Little Danggui, what’s wrong?” “Angry at dad?”
Father Chen looked down,
Seeing his daughter’s pouting mouth reaching towards the sky, he quickly squatted down and gently stroked Chen Danggui’s small head.
“It’s dad’s fault, I shouldn’t have scolded you just now.” “But look, what is this?”
Father Chen held up the ice cream in front of Chen Danggui. “This is your favorite ice cream.”
“If Little Danggui forgives dad, I’ll treat you to it, alright?”
As he spoke,
The ice cream started to sway back and forth in front of Chen Danggui, who still had a straight face.
Gulp—
Chen Danggui didn’t really want to forgive her father yet.
Because she knew that the old man in the grocery store was very bad,
Plus, he had just cursed their family earlier.
However,
Even though she wanted to be angry,
But when the ice cream kept swaying in front of her over and over, Chen Danggui’s gaze was unconsciously attracted to it.
Her saliva kept secreting inside her mouth, causing her to swallow.
“Hmph!”
In the end,
Chen Danggui couldn’t help it,
She let out a soft hum,
And snatched the ice cream from Father Chen’s hand, opening the lid and began licking it repeatedly.
“Well, you can’t be mad at dad after eating ice cream..”
