After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 598 Going Home to Do Crafts
Fu Xiaoxiao was immediately displeased when she heard the little girl's words. "Hey, how can you talk like that? We're just concerned about you."

“Yeah, who said we wouldn’t buy pomegranates? I’ll take them all.” Fu Xiaohang waved his hand. “Calculate how much they cost.”

Upon hearing his words, the little boy's thin face immediately lit up with excitement. "Really? Do we have to buy them all?"

"Yes." Fu Xiaohang nodded, his tone becoming more serious. "After you sell them all, go back to school, understand?"

The little boy frowned and muttered, "But Dad just won't let my sister and me go to school."

The little girl scolded him, "Stop talking and hurry up and pack the pomegranates."

The siblings packed the pomegranates into four bags, which weighed forty-eight jin (approximately 43 catties).

The little girl looked at Fu Xiaohang and said loudly, "Brother, it weighs forty-eight jin in total, and it costs five yuan per jin, so it's two hundred and forty yuan in total."

"Do you have a QR code for receiving payments?" Fu Xiaohang asked.

The little girl took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it over; it had a QR code for receiving payments printed on it.

Fu Xiaohang swiped three hundred yuan over, "Okay, go home now."

The little girl nodded and quickly tidied up the stall.

She carried her things and said to the little boy, "Xiaoguang, let's go home."

Jiang Yuan and her group watched the siblings leave.

Just then, an older woman selling vegetables from a nearby stall came over and exclaimed, "Oh dear, you've been tricked!"

"Fooled?" Fu Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Everyone cast questioning glances at the middle-aged woman.

The older woman said mysteriously, "Those two children are liars; the pomegranates they're selling are rotten."

"Rotten?" Jiang Yuan frowned. "How did you know?"

“I’ve seen many people buy from them and then come back looking for them, saying that the exterior looks fine, but when they get home and open the car, it’s all rotten.”

"Really?" Fu Xiaohang asked in surprise. "Let me see."

He picked one up at random, broke it open, and found that it did indeed look rotten inside. "It really is bad."

"See? I didn't lie to you!" The woman looked smug as she pointed at the backs of the brother and sister. "Hurry up and catch up with them now!"

Fu Xiaohang tossed the rotten pomegranate back into the bag, saying dismissively, "Never mind, it's only three hundred yuan."

He was used to being fooled by girls, but this was the first time he had been fooled by a girl so young.

"You're just going to give up three hundred yuan like that?" The woman was stunned and blurted out, "Young man, would you like to buy some bitter melon?"

Fu Xiaohang shook his head. "Sorry, I don't like bitter melon."

The older woman pouted in disappointment.

"I'll just throw away all the pomegranates," Fu Xiaohang said, looking at the others.

"Wait a minute, let's open a few more and see." Deng Rui picked up a pomegranate from the bag, broke it open, and sure enough, it was rotten.

Just then, Xiao Moyan flew over and greeted Jiang Yuan.

"Yuan Yuan, are you here to buy groceries?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes brightened slightly as she reached out her hand to it, "Yes, are you coming to my house for dinner today?"

The little swallow landed in the mouth of her hand, chirping happily, "Okay, okay!"

"By the way, can you do me a favor?"

"Of course!" Xiao Moyan agreed readily.

Jiang Yuan told it to follow the siblings from earlier to see what their family situation was and why their parents wouldn't let them go to school.

"Understood! Yan guarantees to complete the mission!" Little Black Swallow shouted crisply, then flapped its wings vigorously and flew towards the target.

Jiang Yuan looked away and turned her head to see Deng Rui and the other two breaking apart pomegranates.

Fu Xiaoxiao struggled to break it open, her face turning red. Jiang Yuan: "..."

She chuckled and said, "Stop breaking them, your hands will hurt later."

"No, no," Fu Xiaohang said. "Aunt Rui said she'd see if there were any good ones."

"Yes." Deng Rui, used to being frugal, had a slightly contorted expression from the effort. "What if there's something good?"

Even Fu Xiaoxiao, who usually spends money lavishly, chimed in, "That's right, we can't waste it!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

She pursed her lips and said in a negotiating tone, "Since we drove here anyway, wouldn't it be much more convenient to take it back and open it with a knife?"

Everyone agreed that this made sense, so they threw the rotten pomegranates into the trash can, and Fu Xiaohang carried several bags of pomegranates into the trunk of his car.

Deng Rui bought fried dough sticks and soy milk from a familiar breakfast stall, and the group ate breakfast standing on the roadside of the agricultural wholesale market.

This was a novel experience for Xiaohang.

I never knew breakfasts that cost just a few dollars could taste so good!
After breakfast, Deng Rui took her three children to buy groceries.

Everyone was carrying bags full of meat and vegetables.

When they got home, Zeng Guilin came out to help carry the things. When she saw that they had bought several bags of pomegranates, she exclaimed in surprise, "Why did you buy so many pomegranates?"

"Oh no, I've been tricked," Deng Rui sighed.

Zeng Guilin looked puzzled: "Were you tricked?"

“Yes, let’s go inside and talk.” Deng Rui carried her things inside.

Jiang Yuan went to the kitchen and brought out three fruit knives, then sat at the dining table and opened a pomegranate.

Deng Rui and Zeng Guilin were in the kitchen organizing the meat and vegetables they had just bought, and they recounted how they bought the pomegranates.

“I think I’ve seen those two kids before.” Zeng Guilin sometimes goes to that agricultural wholesale market. “I think they were selling apples before. I saw people take apples to get a refund, but those two kids didn’t have any money.”

"Why don't they go to school?" Deng Rui asked in confusion. "I heard from that little boy that their father won't let them go."

Zeng Guilin shook her head. "I don't know about that."

**
Xiao Moyan followed the siblings selling pomegranates and saw them walk to the entrance of a hardware store. Soon after, a middle-aged man in work clothes came out of the store.

He had a scar on his nose and said as he walked, "Oh, sold out so early today?"

"Dad, a very rich older brother bought them all in one go!" the little boy exclaimed excitedly.

"I should have bought more to sell," the middle-aged man said with a hint of regret. "What a pity."

The little girl pursed her dry lips and tentatively asked, "Uncle, could you give Xiaoguang and me some money for food?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

The little girl was very nervous, and her nails dug into her flesh.

However, the answer that frightened her did not come.

"Alright, since you sold all the pomegranates today, here's a reward for you." The middle-aged man pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket.

There are 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, and 1 yuan.

His finger paused on the twenty-yuan note, then he pulled out a ten-yuan note and handed it over, saying sternly, "Don't waste it."

A few seconds later, he took out another dollar and handed it to the little boy, saying, "Xiaoguang, take this to buy some candy."

"Thank you, Dad." Xiaoguang took the money, thanked him, and then asked, "What about my sister's?"

The middle-aged man said coldly, "She didn't."

Xiaoguang frowned in confusion.

Why didn't my sister have it?
The middle-aged man took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and said impatiently, "Alright, Xiaocao, hurry up and take Xiaoguang home to do crafts. I'm busy."
