870 Trust and Distrust (2)

Si Mo Fan laughed. "If you need any help, I can give you some advice about how to take care of a kid? Si Bai grew up pretty well under me."

Ji Han Yu rolled his eyes at Si Mo Fan. "Without Madam Yan, you'll never be able to take care of Si Bai. Did you forget who almost caused his own son to choke to death?"

"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't cause Si Bai to choke! It's that brat who couldn't handle the milk properly that he vomited!"

"What milk! Please, you're the one who didn't control the amount…"

Nan Hua looked at the two quarreling duo and then looked at the sky. Why did she feel that everywhere she goes, there would be a pair of people who couldn't get along around her?

First, her grandfather and Old Madam Long.

And then, there were her twin brother and her two cousins. Though, they didn't actually quarrel that much and only have spars from time to time.

Nan Hua then turned her head to look at Hui Ling, who was using his dagger to dug the soil. Even though he looked so serious in digging, Nan Hua knew that he could hear their conversation from that distance.

It didn't matter.

Whether Hui Ling chose to join the Dark Moon Organization or not in the end was not her priority.

She only gave him a chance because she saw his condition in front of her eyes.

What he did in the future didn't matter for Nan Hua.

…

It took more than an hour for Si Mo Fan and Ji Han Yu to finish their scruple about how bad they could be as a 'father.' Ji Han Yu himself was not married.

He stayed in Wei Da Kingdom for so many years as undercover member.

Not to mention that it was hard for him to search for a partner, but even if he did look for a partner, he would have to make sure that he could protect her. In the end, Ji Han Yu felt that it was a hassle.

He would rather use his money to drink good wines rather than finding a wife.

Besides, there hasn't been anyone who looked particularly good for him.

Noble families and peasants were fairly different. Even though the interaction between males and females were still heavily restricted, it didn't mean that he couldn't see them. After all, peasant females also had to work or they wouldn't be able to eat.

It was very different from noble family girls who would stay within their house to learn the four arts and so on. These noble girls were hard to be seen before they were married away.

Thus, Ji Han Yu could be said to be very blank if he wanted to be Hui Ling's 'father.'

"Miss, are you going to stay in this place or will you come back?" Si Mo Fan asked after he had finished dealing with Ji Han Yu. "Yan Xi missed you greatly. She said that she wants you to try her new cake."

Cake?

Nan Hua was sure that Si Mo Fan must have asked his subordinate to buy some flour in the cities. The price of flours was not cheap, especially because many of the resources were invested in war preparation. Grain, flours, dried meat, and many others were also given to the soldiers because they would be the one fighting at the frontline.

If the soldiers were not full, how could they possibly fight?

That was why most people at the bottom orders actually couldn't bear to waste food and money. For them, it was hard to eat until full every single day.

"Did you use the organization's fund again?"

"What? No! I'm using my salary…." Si Mo Fan actually wanted to cry when he thought about it. His wife loved cooking and while most of the vegetables could be found in the mountain, grains and flour had to be bought.

Most of his money were used up for his wife…

Nan Hua glanced at Si Mo Fan. "I'll return in a few days. At that time, I'll give you some money to buy more flour."

"Thank you, Miss!" Si Mo Fan's face brightened almost immediately.

Ji Han Yu scoffed when he heard Si Mo Fan asking for money. As the leaders, they naturally had a lot of money for their personal use aside from the money dedicated for the business. He was sure that Si Mo Fan was actually quite rich.

What about him?

*cough*

He already spent most of his money on wine…

"I'll call that brat to eat. You can rest first, Miss."

"Mhm."

Ji Han Yu walked over to Hui Ling and saw the soil that was messed up by him. He was speechless. "What are you doing digging soil like that? If you want to find some earthworm, you should have dig more carefully and…."

Hui Ling stood up and looked at Ji Han Yu. "What is it?"

"Time to eat. Young Miss and Leader Si should have been eating by now." Ji Han Yu pointed at the two people who had already started eating roast meat.

The roast meat was provided by Nan Si, who was waiting from the darkness. While Si Mo Fan and Ji Han Yu were quarreling with each other, he simply walked away easily and caught a pheasant then cooked it for the five of them.

He had naturally separated a part for himself before handing the best part to Nan Hua and the rest to Si Mo Fan.

Facing the double treatment from Nan Si, Si Mo Fan was silent.

He felt that he really had no place in his subordinate hearts…

"Eating with them?" Hui Ling asked with a frown.

"Yeah, of course. What's wrong with that?" Ji Han Yu snorted. He didn't really think that it was something strange. "Eating is always better with other people rather than alone. Come on, if we're too late, that bas… I mean Leader Si will finish the food soon."

Hui Ling glanced at Ji Han Yu and then walked to the other two.
