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

Chapter 599 Mom Doesn't Want Us Anymore

The middle-aged man turned and went back to the hardware store.

The little girl, Xiaocao, gripped the ten-yuan note tightly in her hand, her eyes fixed on the retreating figure.

"elder sister."

Her brother's voice pulled her back to reality.

Xiaocao turned her head to look at him and calmly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoguang handed over the light one-yuan coin, saying, "Keep this safe, sister."

"That was given to you by your father." Xiaocao didn't take it, and said expressionlessly, "Let's go, we need to hurry home to do some crafts."

"Sister, can we eat meat today?" Xiaoguang asked.

Xiaocao thought for a moment and said, "Let's have fried rice with eggs today."

Xiaoguang pouted and lowered her head dejectedly.

Seeing his expression, Xiaocao added, "If that auntie is willing to sell us two yuan worth of meat, then we can eat meat today."

"Okay!" Xiaoguang's thin face was full of seriousness. "I will definitely beg that aunt to sell it to us!"

The siblings returned to the wholesale market, but this time they didn't go to buy fruit. Instead, they bought 50 cents worth of vegetables and two eggs, and finally arrived near the pork stall.

Xiaocao led Xiaoguang to one of the stalls and asked, "Uncle, can you sell us two yuan's worth of lean meat?"

"Little sister, don't joke around." The male pork stall owner shook his head, fidgeting with his fingers. "Two yuan's worth of lean meat is just a pinch, I'm not selling it."

Xiaocao then took Xiaoguang to ask at other stalls.

This time, the other party didn't say they wouldn't sell it, but instead asked her, "It's hard to cut for two yuan, how about five yuan? I'll cut it for you for five yuan."

Upon hearing this, Xiaocao shook her head vigorously, "Auntie, I only need two yuan, please sell it to us, okay?"

Xiaoguang, afraid of being rejected, quickly said, "Auntie, please, my sister and I haven't eaten meat for many days."

"What?" The butcher's wife looked at them in surprise. "Really? How could anyone not afford meat these days?"

"My family is very poor!" Xiaoguang looked at her pitifully. "Please sell it to us, I really want to eat meat."

The female shop owner saw that the two siblings were indeed extremely thin, and sighed, "Alright, alright, I'll sell it to you."

She took a piece of pork tenderloin, cut off a small piece, put it in a bag, and handed it over.

"Thank you, Auntie." Xiaocao took the money with one hand and handed over two yuan with the other.

Holding the bag of meat, she exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie, this is more than two yuan!"

The female boss waved her hand, "Never mind, you can have the extras."

Xiaocao's face immediately lit up with gratitude. "Thank you, Auntie!"

She pulled Xiaoguang along and bowed deeply to the female boss.

The siblings left the wholesale market hand in hand, completely satisfied.

Xiao Moyan followed them all the way, winding through alley after alley, finally stopping in front of a dilapidated little house.

Xiaocao and Xiaoguang climbed the stairs to the third floor and used a key to open the rusty iron door.

"Xiaoguang, you do your crafts first," Xiaocao said as she closed the door. "I'll cook."

Seeing this, Little Black Swallow had no choice but to fly to the window to check the situation.

Xiaocao rinsed the rice and put it into the rice cooker to cook.

Five cents worth of vegetables wasn't much, so we picked them quickly.

Xiaocao washed the pork tenderloin again and cut it into shreds on a moldy wooden cutting board.

That auntie was so generous; she gave us so much meat!

Using it all at once is too extravagant.

Xiaocao glanced at the freezer next to her that was sealed with tape and frowned.

It's a pity the freezer broke, otherwise we could freeze it and eat it for several days. Xiaocao hesitated for a few seconds, but still put all the shredded meat into the pot and stir-fried it.

"Wow! It smells so good!" Xiaoguang brought the handmade flower closer and inhaled the aroma. "Finally, we have meat to eat! My mouth is watering!"

Xiaocao smiled and said, "We can eat meat all day long today!"

"That's great!" Xiaoguang exclaimed happily.

Xiaocao stir-fried a pot of rice with eggs and shredded pork, and also cooked a vegetable dish.

My mom used to cook it like this when she was at home. She said that a balanced diet of meat and vegetables is essential for nutrition.

Xiaoguang was very satisfied with the meal, and patting his round belly, he said, "This is the best meal I've had since Mom left home!"

Xiaocao ate slowly. Hearing her younger brother's words, she tightened her grip on the spoon and murmured, "Where did Mom go?"

“Dad said Mom doesn’t want us anymore,” Xiaoguang said. “Mom went to be someone else’s mom.”

Xiaocao suddenly released the spoon, clenched her fists, frowned and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! Mom would never abandon us! She must have her own difficulties!"

Xiaoguang's eyes immediately reddened, and she pouted, feeling wronged. "It was Dad who said it. Why did you scold me, sister?"

Xiaocao was very angry, her little face turned red.

She really wanted to tell Xiaoguang that his father was lying and that things weren't as he described at all!

Mom didn't abandon us; she had no other choice but to secretly leave alone.

She must work hard to save money, lots and lots of money, so that she can go find her mother.

Xiaocao seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength. Her clenched fists loosened little by little, her shoulders slumped, and she sobbed softly.

Xiaoguang was a little confused when he heard the crying.

He blinked blankly, then said helplessly, "Sister, why are you crying? You were the one who yelled at me, why are you crying?"

He spoke while looking for tissues.

But he searched for a long time and still couldn't find any tissues.

Xiaoguang said, even more bewildered, "Mom's not home, and we're out of tissues."

“Yes,” Xiaocao choked up, “Without our mother, we were like wild children. Your father would never take care of us.”

"What should we do?" Xiaoguang was heartbroken when he heard that he had become a wild child. "I don't want to be a wild child. I want my mother."

He started wailing and crying at the top of his lungs.

Xiaoyuan's originally suppressed sobs gradually grew louder.

The helpless cries of two children echoed through the dilapidated house.

Xiao Moyan knew that not having a mother was indeed a very sad thing.

It stared at them, a hint of sympathy in its tiny bean eyes.

so poor.

It almost cried.

"Waaaa, Yuan Yuan, they're so pitiful." Little Mo Yan stood on the coffee table in front of Jiang Yuan, crying bitterly. "Why didn't their mother want them?"

Jiang Yuan's slender eyebrows were furrowed, and her porcelain-white face showed deep thought.

Fu Xiaoxiao and Fu Xiaohang sat on either side of her, their slightly similar faces revealing the same curiosity.

But Jiang Yuan was deep in thought, and they dared not disturb her.

After a while, Jiang Yuan's lips moved slightly, and she asked softly, "Xiao Moyan, Xiaocao calls that male uncle, but Xiaoguang calls him dad, is that right?"

“Yes!” Little Black Swallow nodded her head like she was pecking at food, adding details, “That male made Xiaoguang buy candy, but Xiaocao didn’t!”

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and analyzed, "Then Xiaocao and Xiaoguang should be half-siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers."

Xiao Moyan didn't understand the word and tilted her head in confusion, "What does it mean?"

Jiang Yuan explained it to it again, and then summarized, "Their mother is missing. Xiaoguang's father said that their mother didn't want them and went to be someone else's mother."
