Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Driven Mad by Money

Gu Mo seemed to notice that Yu Nuannuan had been staring at him. He slowly turned his head, and their eyes met.

Both of them were still little, with the same big, round, dark eyes. Looking into each other’s eyes was a bit like looking into a mirror.

After a moment, Gu Mo brought the strawberry in his hand to Yu Nuannuan’s mouth. “Here, eat!”

Yu Nuannuan: “…”

So Gu Mo thought she was staring at him because she wanted to eat?

She looked at the strawberry, its tip already bitten off by Gu Mo, and hesitated for a while, but in the end, she didn’t open her mouth.

Seeing this, Chen Qiaoqin smiled and said to Gu Mo, “Silly Bao, you eat it yourself. Nuan Bao doesn’t have teeth yet, she can’t bite it. I’ll make her some strawberry juice in a bit.”

Hearing this, Gu Mo withdrew his hand and continued nibbling on the strawberries.

Watching Gu Mo eat, Yu Nuannuan suddenly had the illusion that this chubby little dumpling had a certain elegance about him when he ate.

But as soon as she saw the strawberry juice at the corner of his mouth, that thought vanished.

While Chen Qiaoqin went out to make strawberry juice, Gu Mo paused his eating and said to Yu Nuannuan, “You’ll be growing teeth soon. Then you’ll be able to eat, too!”

Yu Nuannuan blinked. She was going to grow teeth?

How come she didn’t know about this?

Although she’d grown up from a baby in her previous life, she’d been a real child back then, with no memories of that time. She had no idea when babies started teething.

How did Gu Mo know?

Oh! Right!

Gu Mo had just gone through it himself, and he wasn’t an ordinary child. Remembering when he started teething was perfectly normal for him.

Knowing she’d be growing teeth soon, Yu Nuannuan was quite happy. She gave Gu Mo a big, toothless grin, her round eyes squinting into crescent moons.

Seeing Yu Nuannuan smile, Gu Mo’s expression didn’t change at all. “Such a child!”

Yu Nuannuan: “…”

Before noon, Xu Shuhua and Yu Hai returned.

When they left, Yu Hai had carried a basket full of ground cherries on his back. By the time they came back, the basket was empty.

Seeing this, Chen Qiaoqin’s eyes lit up with excitement. “The ground cherries are that popular? That many, and you sold them all in just one morning?”

Yu Hai’s face was red from the sun and covered in sweat. He just waved his hand at her words, went to wash his face, then gulped down a big mug of cool boiled water. Only then did he let out a comfortable sigh. “Today, we just got lucky!”

Hearing this, Chen Qiaoqin knew there must be more to the story and quickly pressed him, “What happened?”

Yu Hai glanced at Xu Shuhua, who was drinking her water slowly and didn’t seem inclined to speak, so he started telling the story himself, eyes shining with excitement.

“When Mom and I left, we ran into Wang Changsheng and his mother from next door. They were also carrying ground cherries to sell in town, and they got there before us.

“When we arrived, we heard someone asking them about the price. That old Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and said, ‘Two yuan a jin!’”

At this, Chen Qiaoqin’s face turned into a giant exclamation mark.

“Two yuan a jin?! Are they crazy?”

Yu Hai burst out laughing. “Exactly! They’re so greedy, it’s driven them mad! Their ground cherries aren’t as big or as sweet as ours, and they dared to ask for two yuan a jin!”
