Chapter 121: Let me think
“Which shop did you buy the snacks from when you were a child?”
He wouldn’t be upset if Luo Yueguan said his cooking wasn’t good, but if she said someone else’s cooking was better than his, he would feel a bit down.
“I don’t remember,” Luo Yueguan huffed.
“So you only remember that it was delicious?”
“Yes, I still remember it now. One morning, I secretly stole money from my mother’s cabinet and went to the shop by myself to buy freshly steamed glutinous rice cakes. I sat on the street corner and ate so many, I was too full to walk.”
“And then you got scolded by your mother when you went back?” Jiang Huai followed up on her story.
Luo Yueguan thought seriously for a moment, “After eating, I didn’t dare to go back, so I just wandered around the streets by myself. Then I saw many interesting and delicious things and spent a lot of money. I didn’t want to go back, but in the end, I realized I had nowhere else to go. Late at night, I returned home, and when my mother saw me, she first held me and cried for a long time.”
“And then she forgave you?”
“Then she beat me half to death.”
Luo Yueguan suddenly laughed, “She later spent money to hire a doctor for me, and the cost of boiling medicine was much more than those glutinous rice cakes, even spending all her savings and going to the mansion of a local wealthy man alone. That rich man liked to torment women, and although he had previously offered a large sum of money, she, being a top courtesan, had never spared him a glance. That day when she came back, she was covered in scars, and she used all the money she had saved to buy me a Healing Pill that contained a bit of spiritual medicine, which saved my life.”
Jiang Huai was speechless for a moment.
