A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

The scrap yard fell silent instantly.

The old gatekeeper peeked out of the house, then withdrew and puffed on his cigarette.

"These days, even birds are becoming sentient."

"But that woman, she should..."

Su Xiulan let out a long breath before realizing that all her energy was gone.

She squatted down and looked at her daughter, who was still sobbing.

"Don't be afraid, Nuannuan. The bad guys have already been chased away by Mom."

She wiped away Nuannuan's tears with her sleeve.

"Mommy's here. Nobody will dare to bully our Nuannuan anymore."

"Little sister, from now on, your big brother will protect you. I'll also practice my strength and beat up whoever comes near!"

Da'an clenched his fist and swung it twice in the air.

Xiao An took out a peeled White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Nuannuan's mouth.

"Little sister, eat some candy, it won't be bitter anymore if you eat candy."

The sweetness melted in my mouth, and the warmth calmed my heart.

Now she has her mother and two older brothers to protect her.

Little Green and Little Black were also secretly helping out.

[It's a pity the black snake hasn't come out yet; the fat woman ran too fast.]

Xiao Lü felt a pang of regret. Nuan Nuan sniffed, thinking that with so many people protecting her, she would never be afraid of her aunt again.

[Haha, but the crow was pretty helpful! Sweetie, your aunt's pants are down, she's running around naked.]

Nuannuan choked up, unable to smile.

Does streaking mean running around with your bare buttocks exposed? In this freezing weather, my aunt really has some unique tastes.

After this incident, the foster mother lost all interest in searching for anything. She picked up Nuannuan and headed outside, saying, "Nuannuan, let's go home now!"

Da'an and Xiao'an didn't linger, but Xiao Lü in the space deliberately teased them.

[My sweet little one is still crying, it's a pity we can't get the treasures here.]

Nuannuan immediately stopped crying, grabbed Su Xiulan's clothes with both hands, her eyes brimming with tears, "Mommy, Nuannuan wants to find her baby."

Su Xiulan was stunned. "But now you..."

"Warmth is looking for her baby!"

The little girl stubbornly persisted in her coquettish act, pointing her little hand towards the corner of the wall to the east.

Su Xiulan smiled helplessly. As expected of a child, even in such a frightened state, he was still thinking about finding the treasure.

"Okay, then Mom will go with you to take a look!"

"But whether we have a baby or not, when we get home later, Mom will stew some meat for you, okay?"

The little girl's eyes lit up instantly. "Nuan Nuan wants to eat meat."

Slipping down from her mother's arms, the little girl ran incredibly fast with her short legs.

Her foster mother and two older brothers hurriedly followed behind, and saw the little girl stop next to a pile of moldy old newspapers, with several broken wine bottles on top. Up close, the musty smell was so strong it made one want to vomit.

Right down here!

Little Green was so anxious that she jumped up and down, wishing she could come out herself.

Nuannuan struggled to rummage through the rubble, and Su Xiulan, feeling sorry for her daughter's hard work, came over to help.

They managed to scrape all the newspapers clean, and what was underneath stunned them.

Inside was not gold or silver treasures, nor antiques, but a dark, long wooden box that looked like a fire poker.

The box was over two feet long, covered in thick mud that had long since obscured its original color, and there were burn marks on the edges. Someone unfamiliar with it might mistake it for a piece of rotten wood.

"What's this?" Da'an scratched his head. "It's not filled with chopsticks, is it? But are chopsticks really this long?"

"I think it's just a fire poker!" Xiao An pouted. "Little sister, you're not planning to take it home and beat the dog, are you?"

Su Xiulan didn't understand either, but she didn't want to discourage her daughter. "It looks pretty sturdy. Take it back and clean it. Maybe it can be used as a sewing box."

But whose sewing kit is that long?

Nuannuan's eyes lit up. Although she didn't know what it was for, she felt it must be a treasure. Even the little gold in the space started to sway and dance.

Little Green is almost going crazy.

[Great stuff! It must be great stuff!]

These clueless two-legged creatures probably came from an ancient imperial palace. Once you remove the outer patina, it's priceless. Not to mention what's inside.

Nuannuan swallowed excitedly, her little hands touching the box. Even through the dust, she could feel its weight and warmth.

The little girl clutched it tightly, looked up, and cried, "Mommy, I want it!"

Su Xiulan smiled and patted his little head. "Okay! As long as Nuannuan likes it, we'll buy it."

I just made 200 yuan worth of goods, all thanks to Nuannuan.

Nuannuan, carrying the box, went to the next place. It was a large jar, more than half a person's height, with many cracks on it and a hole in the middle.

The jar was pitch black, covered with a thick layer of oil stains; it was unclear what it used to hold.

Su Xiulan frowned as she watched, but the little girl stubbornly held on.

"Nuan Nuan, this one is heavy and badly damaged. It's no use taking it back. How about we get a smaller one?"

Su Xiulan whispered to her daughter, "Although Nuannuan is young, she has a strong will. Once she's made up her mind, nothing can change it."

"No, no, Mommy, Nuannuan wants this big jar." Nuannuan hugged the dirty jar tightly with both hands, her clothes and face covered in dust. I looked at her with starry eyes and sweetly said, "This jar is big, Nuannuan. If it's washed clean, it can hold lots of candy."

Su Xiulan looked at her little daughter, both amused and exasperated. "This is so dirty it's unbearable to look at. It's filled with candy, how could you possibly eat it?"

Nuannuan nodded her little head vigorously, almost in tears, as if she could burst into tears at the slightest word from Su Xiulan.

How could Su Xiulan stand this? She thought to herself that the jar was so broken and not worth much money. "Fine, fine, if you want it, we'll buy it."

Nuannuan then looked at several rusty iron bowls not far away, all of them covered in rust and with several large holes.

Even the best pot repairmen would shake their heads at the sight of such a broken pot. These days, who would be willing to throw away a good pot if it's still usable?

Knowing her daughter's stubborn nature, Su Xiulan carried the bag with tears in her eyes.

"Although we can't cook on this broken ground, we can fill it with some soil and plant something in it when spring comes."

Su Xiulan complained helplessly, while Nuannuan smiled and went to find her two older brothers.

Da'an squatted in front of a pile of scrap metal, which consisted of broken radio boxes with speakers hanging outside and red and green wires tangled together.

Da'an's eyes shone brightly. His slender fingers gently traced the circuit board as he carefully picked up the four badly damaged radio casings, held them in his arms, and looked up at Su Xiulan with a pitiful expression.

Although she didn't say anything, Su Xiulan knew that her eldest son wanted to buy it.

However, these radios were severely damaged.

Just then, Nuannuan tiptoed and used her sleeve to wipe the dust off her older brother's face. "Mom, if your older brother likes it, just buy it! He's the smartest, it'll definitely be useful."

Seeing his eldest son showing interest in something so rare, Gu Jianguo felt a pang of sadness, his voice choked with emotion, "Buy it! Buy whatever you all like."

Xiao An came over carrying a dark flowerpot, inside which was a plant that had long since withered.

"this……"

"Let's buy them together!"

The family carried out their load of belongings, and the old man at the gate twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"Young ladies, you really are scavenging for trash!"
