Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Yuan Bao: Going... to Beg for Food!
"Looking for the sister!"
Upon hearing Mrs. Xiao Li’s words, Yuan Shouhu immediately pointed outside.
Mrs. Xiao Li didn’t spare another glance at her husband, and directly hugged her beloved son as she walked out to settle accounts with Yuan Bao, the disobedient daughter.
However, once Mrs. Xiao Li stepped out of the yard and searched for a while, she couldn’t see even a shadow of Yuan Bao.
Such a situation naturally made Mrs. Xiao Li even angrier, thinking this daughter is young, yet so crafty, actually playing hide and seek with her.
Alright, so you know how to hide, huh?
Then just keep hiding!
Mrs. Xiao Li immediately made a deal that if Yuan Shouhu ate meat at noon, Little Douding shouldn’t think about catching sparrows anymore.
Having settled her son, Mrs. Xiao Li returned to the house and cut a small piece of the wild boar meat they got, preparing to stew it for lunch.
The piece was very small, without considering herself or Yuan Zhaodi, purely prepared for her son.
Inside the house, seeing Mrs. Xiao Li went out and came back without any commotion outside, Yuan Zhaodi thought she hadn’t done anything with Yuan Bao, not realizing that Mrs. Xiao Li hadn’t found Yuan Bao at all.
It wasn’t until it was time for lunch and still no sign of the daughter coming in, that Yuan Zhaodi noticed something was amiss.
"Wife, where’s our daughter?"
Yuan Zhaodi looked at Mrs. Xiao Li and asked anxiously.
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Mrs. Xiao Li glared at Yuan Zhaodi with annoyance, "That meddlesome girl got into trouble and hid herself, how would I know where she’s hiding?"
"Come on, son, eat the meat!"
After responding crossly to her husband’s question, Mrs. Xiao Li smiled at her son and placed the thoroughly stewed wild boar meat in her bowl.
"You, you just muddle through!"
Yuan Zhaodi couldn’t sit still, rushed out to look for Yuan Bao.
After shouting around the village without finding anyone, Yuan Zhaodi had to return home to ask Yuan Shoucheng and the others if they had seen Yuan Bao’s whereabouts.
However, no one had noticed anything.
...
Meanwhile, on the official road leading to Yunyang City, Yuan Bao was feeling cold and hungry.
"Such disgrace to the seniors!"
Thinking about her current situation, Yuan Bao really felt embarrassed.
Her dignified self, a girl who’s traversed time and space, little body but big heart, how could she suddenly decide to run away from home? As tiny as herself, this act of running away was no different from seeking trouble?
But should she turn back now?
Yuan Bao was unwilling!
Although she was small, her heart was mature, didn’t she have her dignity?
A true hero, never looks back!
After much inner turmoil, Yuan Bao decided firmly that unless someone from the Yuan Family came to find her, she would rather die than go back on her own.
Starving was trivial, losing dignity was significant!
She had her pride too.
"Sister!"
"Hey, wait up, where are you heading?"
Just as Yuan Bao made up her mind not to turn back, she heard a voice calling out from behind.
Upon hearing the call, Yuan Bao stopped in her tracks and turned to look.
Jiang Er appeared before Yuan Bao, panting heavily, as he reached Yuan Bao, he was bent over with hands on knees, looking utterly exhausted.
"To the city!"
Yuan Bao pointed firmly towards the distant outline of Yunyang City.
"Why are you going to the city?"
Jiang Er gasped as he got closer to Yuan Bao.
"To... beg!"
What was she going to the city for?
That was indeed a question!
Yuan Bao sighed inwardly, apart from begging, what else could she do on this runaway?
"Why?"
Jiang Er looked a bit dumbfounded, "Your family doesn’t want you anymore?"
