CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 344: GRANDMA, I’M HUNGRY!

Old Yuan was at his wits’ end and could only rely on Mrs. Zeng to step in.

After all, Mrs. Xiao Li was Shouhu’s mother, and now she was carrying another child. No matter how wrong Mrs. Xiao Li was, it wasn’t the right time to create such a fuss.

So, not long after Old Yuan finished talking with Mrs. Zeng, she gathered some people and set off for Beishan Village.

Yuan Bao knew her grandmother was going to persuade them, and after thinking it over, decided to accompany her.

Of course, it wasn’t just to watch the drama unfold.

In fact, although Yuan Bao had many complaints about Mrs. Xiao Li, her biological mother, she still hoped Mrs. Xiao Li would have a good ending.

The preference for boys over girls was the trend of the times.

Even though she could no longer return to Mrs. Xiao Li’s side, no matter what, Mrs. Xiao Li still gave birth to her.

"Jiaojiao, grandma knew you were a good child!"

Mrs. Zeng sighed deeply while looking at Yuan Bao, who was traveling with her, blaming Mrs. Xiao Li’s foolishness. Such a good daughter, yet she didn’t cherish her at all.

Yuan Bao just chuckled at Mrs. Zeng’s praise.

She truly didn’t know how to respond to that issue.

The carriage moved quickly.

As Beishan Village came into view, Yuan Bao saw the village children. During her time there, she had gotten along quite well with the village kids.

"Grandma, I want to get off!"

"Play!"

Even though she came along with Mrs. Zeng, Yuan Bao didn’t intend to go straight to see her biological father, Yuan Zhaodi. Only if Mrs. Zeng couldn’t handle it would Yuan Bao step in.

However, her presence there already represented an attitude.

Her biological father might not be a decisive person, but he was smart enough to understand her intention.

Of course, if he couldn’t understand, it didn’t matter either.

In any case, the matter would be resolved; it would just take some effort.

When the carriage stopped, Yuan Bao, accompanied by Nanny Xue, Hu Niuniu, and Mei Jiu, went to play with the children by the roadside.

"Jiaojiao, you’re back!"

The village children were overjoyed to see Yuan Bao return.

They had been catching grasshoppers by the roadside and all gathered around when they saw Yuan Bao approaching.

"I’m back!"

"Let me treat you to something delicious!"

Anticipating she might run into her village friends, Yuan Bao had asked Nanny Xue to purchase an array of snacks and pastries on the way back, which she now shared with her buddies.

To be honest, their lives were much tougher than hers.

Though of royal blood, they were dragged down by their restless ancestors, and who knows when they could be freed.

Yuan Bao brought plenty of treats, enough for each child to enjoy.

She wouldn’t make the mistake Sheng Xueyi did, bringing pastries for the village children but always skipping Yuan Bao’s share.

The first time might have been a coincidence, but the second time was also a coincidence?

Well, perhaps it truly was a coincidence!

But after these repeated incidents, Yuan Bao understood she and Sheng Xueyi were incompatible.

While Yuan Bao played with the village kids, Mrs. Zeng had already met with Yuan Zhaodi.

Yuan Shouhu saw Mrs. Zeng and immediately ran over, crying out for his mother.

Since coming back with Yuan Zhaodi, Yuan Shouhu hadn’t had a single full meal.

Because Yuan Zhaodi really didn’t know how to cook.

"Grandma, I’m hungry!"

Falling into his grandmother’s embrace, Yuan Shouhu pitifully spoke out.

The food Yuan Zhaodi made was barely edible for adults, but for a child, it was truly hard to swallow.
