Chapter 4 Little Husband

  "You misunderstood, it's not as serious as selling a person. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Changfu continued: "Mainly because I appreciate the character of your daughter Fang Yatou, and although my son is still young, when he grows up, he will definitely hold a grand wedding with Fang Yatou, and from then on, our family will not take in any concubines."

  Ye's family stared at Xiao Changfu for a moment, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, and looked at Jia's family with some difficulty. At home, there was indeed no rice in the pot, and some of the grain they had bought back was taken away by those heartless things. Fang'er's body was not well yet, and after giving birth, sitting for a month also needed some food.

  Jia's expression was also difficult, although the family situation was not optimistic, but she didn't want to miss Fang'er's youth because of this. By the time her grandson grew up, Fang'er had already passed his youthful years, and would this young grandson still treat Fang'er well at that time?

  Compared to the two of them, Su Xiaofan was extremely calm, carefully sizing up the little doll-like girl being led by the village chief. The long eyelashes, big black eyes, delicate small nose, and small, plump red lips - this little treasure was even more lively than ordinary little girls.

  It's just that the sparkle in those dark eyes seems quite mature, not as innocent as a child of his age. She who has been divorced must be hard to marry off in this era, and ten years later she will only be in her twenties anyway. Calculating it out, the one at a disadvantage is actually the little milk doll in front of her. Ah, in the future should she become an old cow eating tender grass? Raising a small husband from a young age seems quite interesting.

  Thinking of this, Su Xiaofan's eyebrows and eyes curved as she said: "Good, I promise." She suddenly looked forward to what this little treasure would be like when he grew up, a stunning beauty.

  "Xiao Fan..." Madam Ji heard this and grabbed Su Xiao Fan's hand, her expression quite agitated.

  "Mother, don't worry, you see I've been jilted by the Zhang family, and it's likely that I won't be able to marry well in the future. And look at how adorable that little treasure is." Su Xiaofan smiled lightly, with two small dimples on her cheeks that were simply lovely.

  Jia turned her head and took a look, then continued to say: "The village chief's grandson is born very well, but you are too old in age, it's hard to guarantee that he will treat you well in the future."

  Su Xiaofan raised an eyebrow and said, "Mother, you don't understand this. The saying goes: a girl at one is worth a golden chicken, at two she's worth a pot of gold, at three she can hold a golden brick, at four she'll have good fortune for life, at five she'll surpass her mother, at six she'll be happy all her life, at seven she'll smile brightly, at eight she'll surely become wealthy, at nine she'll have everything, and at ten she'll be worth everything. How many years older am I than him?"

  Xiao Changfu smiled and replied, "Yes, big sister, as Fang Yatou said, if she marries my younger son, their future days will be prosperous and happy, they will live a life of abundance and joy, you can all rest assured."

  "Oh, little cutie is six years old now?" Su Xiao Fan walked over, reached out and touched the soft little face, then said with relish: "The feel is really good, baby, come give sister a hug."

  After finishing speaking, she squatted down and opened her arms to the small porcelain doll, ready to hug it tightly and love it dearly.

  Who would have thought that the little rascal dodged her and stood on the other side of the village chief, looking at her with a face full of disgust, saying in a clear and round tone: "Don't call me Little Treasure, my name is Xiao Yimiao, Yi as in inheritance, Miao as in ink."

  "Oh, it's a pretty good name." Su Xiaofan pouted, not expecting to be rejected by a little kid. She thought back to the past when she was actually popular among kids, and they all liked to stick around her.

  "So it's settled then. I'll send the money over tomorrow, and Fang Yaotou can come live with me starting from tomorrow." Xiao Changfu said as he prepared to take Xiao Yimò away to bid them farewell.

  "Wait, I have another condition." Su Xiaofan heard him say this and looked at Jia Shi and Ye Shi. He felt that it was not suitable for him to leave, although the village head's family seemed to be in a better situation than here. But if he left, how would the pregnant woman and the elderly person who were about to give birth get by?

  Xiao Changfu looked at her with a profound gaze and asked, "Tell me."

  Su Xiaofan smiled and said slowly, "You see, my grandmother is getting old, and my mother is about to give birth. I want to stay at home until my mother gives birth, and then take care of my grandmother and younger siblings before going to your house."

  Xiao Changfu asked with his eyes the little person beside him, then said: "It's rare for Fan Yatou to be so filial, okay, I agree. However, during this period, Little Sun and you will live together here."

  "Village chief, isn't this a bit...you see our home is like this..." Ye Shi's gaze was meaningful as she looked at the empty main hall. Although the village chief's family also lived in this poor and remote mountain village, they were renowned for being wealthy. The courtyard of their house was even better than those of high-ranking officials in the city. The village chief's children did business outside and reportedly sent back a lot of silver every year. It was likely that this young grandson had never suffered any hardships since childhood, so how could he endure such a difficult life?

  "It doesn't matter, it's just right for this kid to experience some hardships." Xiao Changfu's smile deepened in his eyes as he stroked his beard and looked at Xiao Yimeng who had turned black-faced beside him.

  "Mother, since the village head has said so, let's do as he says. I also don't want to part with Fang'er so soon and have her go to someone else's home." Mrs. Jia happily agreed, thinking that this way they could get through their current difficulties and also keep Fang'er by her side for a while longer, which was the best thing that could happen. Moreover, Fang'er didn't seem to mind going to the village head's house as a child bride.

  It's actually that Fang Er was originally from a humble family, and thinking back to when the village chief's son was still in the village, there were countless people who wanted to marry into the village chief's family. It's just that these two people's ages are really too far apart. However, since the village chief has said that his young grandson won't take a concubine, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

  "All right, I thank the village chief." Ye Shi tearfully bowed to Xiao Changfu and his son, although it was a hardship for Fan'er, but at present, it indeed solved the livelihood of their family.

  "You're being too serious, I'll leave first then. Mo can stay here." Xiao Changfu gazed at Xiao Yimeng for a few moments before lifting his foot to leave.

  "The village head walked slowly." Ye also followed him and saw him off.

  "Little treasure, come here and let sister hug you." Su Xiaofan leaned in close to Xiao Yimeng again, wanting to give him a hug.

  Xiao Yi Mo gave her a cold glance, lifted his small leg and took a few steps back from her, saying lightly: "Don't call me little treasure, and you're not my sister, you're my wife."

  Su Xiaofan shook her head helplessly, wondering if all the children in this era were so precocious. Ignoring his aloofness, she smiled and asked: "Little treasure, do you know what a wife is?"
