Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Nuanbao Brought You Something Tasty

Of course, that was just a passing thought.

Even if you gave Chen Qiaoqin twice the courage, she still wouldn’t dare say such a thing.

Since she had to take the child along, Xu Shuhua simply called over the three Yujiang brothers too, so they could all go together.

They didn’t need to do anything else—just help carry things and make the group look bigger, so they wouldn’t get bullied when buying stuff.

After they all left, Yu Zhenmin, who was sitting in the shade at the main room’s doorway smoking his pipe, blew out a smoke ring. “Honestly, you’re just buying something for the kid. Why’d you have to bring everyone along?”

With such a big crowd, people who didn’t know better might think they were off to start a fight!

Xu Shuhua was just about to head out with Yu Nuannuan in her arms. Hearing this, she stopped and turned to look at Yu Zhenmin. “You want to come too? If you do, hurry up. I’ll lock the door and take Nuanbao to play with Daibao!”

Yu Zhenmin: “...” When did he ever say he wanted to go?

He waved his hand. “Alright, go on! Make sure Nuanbao wears her hat, don’t let her get sunburned!”

“As if I need you to tell me!”

As she spoke, Xu Shuhua put the little straw hat on Yu Nuannuan’s head.

Xu Shuhua had just stepped out with Yu Nuannuan in her arms when she saw Wang Dilai from next door coming out of the Gu family’s house at the same time.

Enemies really do recognize each other at a glance. Wang Dilai had been wearing a blank expression, but the moment she saw Xu Shuhua, her face came alive.

Unfortunately, she had the will but not the guts.

She glared at Xu Shuhua for a while, then huffed, picked up her basin, and left.

The basin was full of clothes—she was probably heading to the river to do laundry.

Watching Wang Dilai’s retreating figure, Xu Shuhua sneered, “That’s all she’s capable of.”

With that, she didn’t spare Wang Dilai another glance and walked off with Yu Nuannuan.

Yu Nuannuan’s eyesight was especially sharp now. From a distance, she could already see the small courtyard where Gu Mo and his family lived. Through the fence, she spotted Gu Mo and Qin Yuelan inside.

Qin Yuelan was holding a hoe, turning over the soil—probably planning to make a vegetable patch in the yard.

Seeing this, Xu Shuhua nodded approvingly. “She’s a good homemaker, just a bit too soft-hearted.”

She was just talking to herself, but as soon as she finished, she saw Yu Nuannuan nod her little head. Xu Shuhua couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Nuanbao, are you nodding because you understood?”

Yu Nuannuan looked up at Xu Shuhua with innocent eyes: Grandma, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.

Seeing this, Xu Shuhua chuckled again and carried Yu Nuannuan quickly into the yard.

Qin Yuelan saw Xu Shuhua coming in and stopped working the soil. She smiled at Xu Shuhua. “Auntie, you’re here! Let me get you a bench. It’s nice and cool today!”

With that, Qin Yuelan went inside and soon came out carrying a long bench, which she placed under the tree in the yard.

It was a Chinese toon tree, already many years old—tall and lush. Sitting in its shade, with the breeze blowing, it was truly cool and comfortable.

Gu Mo was still sitting on his little stool, right across from Xu Shuhua.

Xu Shuhua waved at him. “Daibao, come here. Nuanbao brought you something tasty.”

Gu Mo looked at Yu Nuannuan with a bit of confusion, but still got up and toddled over to Xu Shuhua.

Yu Nuannuan reached her little hand into the pocket on her bellyband, and when she pulled it out, there was a bright red cherry tomato in her palm. “Brother, eat!”
