Chapter 309. Solve
Hua Qiang shook his head and laughed, silently sighing that he’s truly a stubborn child.
The village chief’s family doting more on their daughter while neglecting their son was nothing unusual.
But little did they know that Xiaoxiao wasn’t genuinely stubborn; he disliked the water Hua Qiang drank, and he thought the water that was taken by force tasted better.
In fact, he had a small water pouch with him, but he just wouldn’t drink it. He kept his neck stretched out, waiting for his grandfather to notice him.
Hua Jin, on the other hand, was genuinely thirsty after having walked seven or eight miles. She admired herself for being able to do this much.
Now she’s someone who can walk a long way; this stamina was something her previous self couldn’t have matched with all her might.
...Although she wasn’t bad back then, either.
She took the water pouch from her grandfather’s hands and drank heartily. As several gulps went down, the heat within her body was significantly pushed down, and she felt much more comfortable, though Xiaoxiao’s envious stare could stand to be a bit less direct.
The grandfather sure was oblivious, not noticing even then.
Then, Hua Jin softened and handed the water pouch to Xiaoxiao.
Like a sudden realization, the old man Hua then remembered he had another grandson beside him.
Following that, he gave Xiaoxiao a not-so-gentle tap on the back of the head, and Xiaoxiao’s resentful expression immediately returned to normal.
