Chapter 5: Feast for the Young Master

Chapter 5: Feast for the Young Master

Bei Sangyun was still regretting that she did not accept the cookies. She had been thinking about the two cookies as she walked on her way home.

While she was feeling sad and regretful, the noise in front caught her attention.

The peaceful River Village was very crowdy and noisy today.

The entrance of the village was full of people.

Bei Sangyun ran and joined the crowd. But she was too small to see anything. She heard the surrounding people talk among themselves.

"Is that a car? I have never seen such a stunning car before. Is it brand new?"

"I heard only rich people in the city can have a car. They brought so many imported goods. The Chuan family is indeed on another level."

"Have you seen the Young Master? He is like an angel! I have never seen a child so fair and beautiful!"

"Since they are here, we will be able to have a big feast!"

Bei Sangyun also wanted to see the car and the beautiful young master they were talking about. She looked at the gap between their legs. She used her small height and crawled on the ground. Even though she was small, she was very fast.

When she saw an empty space in front of her, she hurriedly walked towards that area and stood up.

She was finally at the front!

She patted the dust on her big shirt and looked at the front.

There was a big shiny white object with four wheels parked beside the yard. The men in the village chief's family took the luggage from its back and carried it inside the big house.

Bei Sangyun opened her mouth wide in awe. This was also her first time seeing a car.

The car was so handsome!

She then saw a little head beside the car. The boy was covered by a large thick coat from head to toe. Bei Sangyun only saw the boy's back and she was not able to confirm if he was fair and beautiful like the villagers said.

But... wasn't he hot?

Grandma flicked her forehead again. "You said you will keep Little Sang alive until she lay eggs. "

"Then Little Yun...."

"You said you will sell him after you graduated kindergarten. Don't think about it. These two chickens are your entry for elementary school."

Bei Sangyun had a long face. If she could not slaughter any of her chickens, how could she attend the feast? Everyone in the village was bringing something to eat.

"Ah! How about I roast some potatoes?" Bei Sangyun asked excitedly.

She knew where to dig the potatoes in the mountain.

"Why do you want to go to the Chuans?" Grandma Bei did not answer Bei Sangyun's inquiry but asked a question instead.

"Because there will be a lot of food!" Bei Sangyun did not hesitate to answer.

"Grandma, you said we can't beg for food or other things from other people. If I attend the festival, I'll be able to get food freely. It's not the same as begging. I will receive free food because of my cooperation. It's like how teacher draw us stars when we attended every class."

Bei Sangyun was afraid that her grandma would use the 'don't beg' card and won't approve of her attending the festival. So she made an explanation before her grandma says anything.

Grandma Bei was speechless.

She looked at Bei Sangyun who seemed ready to argue with her all day just to attend the festival. She sighed.

"....Fine. But don't make trouble. You don't have to roast potatoes. Just help the other villagers and do some errands. They might avoid me but if it's you, they will allow you to come with them."

Bei Sangyun cheered. "Thank you, Grandma! I will surely get meat for you!"

Grandma Bei just shook her head. She was already old and was not tempted to eat meat like the old days.

It was Bei Sangyun, her little child, who needed to eat a lot more.

Grandma Bei was always guilty whenever she saw the scrawny figure of her granddaughter. She knew she could not provide a good life for Bei Sangyun.

Perhaps she should be more lenient and let her granddaughter play like this from time to time.
