"You're a liar, Dugu Xingyu. You are renting at Miss Wang's house. You couldn't even raise the rent of fifty diamond coins, and you still owe the Wang family a sum of money. How on earth do you have the dignity to say that this pastry belongs to you?"
of?"
"It's mine, it's mine, my aunt gave it to me." Dugu Xingyu blushed, pacing her feet and shouted angrily.
"You, bad guys, bad guys!"
She was young, so she could only be scolded with the word "bad guy".
Several older children gathered around them, scolding the two of them.
Miss Wang, who was complimented by all the children, stood aside and watched the scene with cold eyes, a sarcastic smile on her lips.
It’s so funny that the Dugu family has no money to pay the rent, but they still have money to buy such expensive plum blossom cakes for their two children.
This plum blossom cake is a priceless item in the northern ice wilderness.
People who have been imprisoned in the ice wilderness of the North for so many years are accustomed to eating tasteless ice moss to satisfy their hunger. If they can hunt down one and a half ice rats and ice foxes, it will be regarded as a supreme delicacy.
Who has spare money to buy luxury snacks like plum blossom cakes?
What's more, there's no place to buy it!
Unless... the Dugu family has been pretending to be poor. In fact, they have been hiding a lot of supplies and slowly digesting them, but they cry to the outside world that they are poor.
Thinking that these people had previously discussed with her father and begged the Wang family to halve the rent, Ms. Wang became very unhappy.
The Dugu family was originally a big family from the Imperial City. The skinny camel must be bigger than the horse. No one would believe them if they said they didn't hide any supplies.
However, these people are so hateful. They fought with the Wang family for three melons and two dates, and in the end they even moved their whole family and parted ways with them.
Miss Wang sneered.
Although she is only eleven years old this year, she has endured many years of hardship in the northern ice wilderness, and her character has already been tempered to a mature level.
The Dugu family has harmed the interests of the Wang family in this way, and she will definitely not let it go.
"Stop lying!"
"Why do people from the Dugu family love to lie to others at such a young age?"
"I told you that those were snacks brought to Miss Wang by her aunt, how could you be so shameless and take them for yourself?"
"Yes, please return it to Miss Wang quickly." Some children even wanted to grab the paper bag Dugu Xingyu was holding in her arms.
Dugu Xingyu straightened his small body and stood in front of his sister to protect her. There was a hint of anger in his calm voice, "I told you we didn't steal!"
"What evidence do you have that our pastries were stolen from Miss Wang?"
"What evidence do you want? What Miss Wang said is the evidence!"
"That's right, your family is so poor, how can you afford such expensive cakes? Unless your family is pretending to be poor from beginning to end!"
"Oh, we understand, your Dugu family is hiding supplies in your hands." Several children of different sizes had a vicious light in their eyes that was not that of simple children.
A pair of eyes showed an expression of excitement as if they had discovered some shocking secret.
Dugu Xingyu was so angry that he clenched his fists and argued with the children.
Xingyu is a child at such a young age, but his speech is clear and logical, and he is quite precocious.
Jiang Nai stood not far away, watching the performance of these two children, with a smile on his lips.
"I have emphasized this many times! My aunt brought this cake to me as a gift."
