Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 571 I Want to Fight the Sea Pirates with My Cousin

When their eyes met, Wu Qingfeng recognized the person. "Chen Ming, did you come with Chang'er?"

Chen Ming nodded, lifted his robe, got out of the carriage, and started chatting with him. "Yes, yes, my father asked me to take my younger brother, sister, and aunt back. On the way, my aunt noticed something was wrong in the town, so she asked me to come back and report. Have you already received the letter?"

Hearing this, Wu Qingfeng was now certain that Lin Chang'er hadn't returned with them. His gaze swept over the three carriages accompanying Chen Ming. "Young Master Chen, let's make a deal!"

Chen Ming eagerly moved closer...

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Ming, his wet nurse, Chen Shu, Chen Yu, and a cartload of gifts they had brought from the Chen family were placed by the roadside.

Wu Qingfeng cracked his whip, and the caravan set off again.

Chen Ming stared blankly at the swirling dust and the departing procession before realizing that Wu Qingfeng had forcibly borrowed his carriage.

Chen Ming: "..." No, we've already lent him our carriage and even the driver, so wouldn't it be a bit unfair not to lend it to him?

He stood on tiptoe and called out in the direction they had left, "Lord Wu, how are we supposed to get into the village with all these things, with all these old folks and kids?"

"The patrol brothers will be here soon."

Wu Qingfeng did reply, but we could only hear his voice and not see him in person.

Chen Ming scratched his head, looking at his wet nurse and younger siblings, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Dryly explained, "That was the county magistrate here, from a prominent family in the capital. They were rushing to meet up with my aunt."

He had thought the two younger ones would be scared and cry, but when he finished explaining and looked down, he saw Chen Yu staring intently in the direction the group was heading, as if she hadn't listened to his explanation at all.

Looking at Chen Shu again, the little girl's eyes were also full of curiosity. When she saw her brother looking at her, she smiled sweetly at him and said, "Brother, there was a child sitting on the first horse just now."

Chen Ming recalled for a moment and nodded, "That's your aunt's twin stepson, a year younger than you. His full name is Gu Jingzhe, and his nickname is Little Goldfish. He can be considered your cousin."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu tilted her head and said, "So it's the little goldfish brother. No wonder his eyes are so big."

Chen Ming: "..." Something seems off? Maybe he's overthinking it?

Before he could speak again, Chen Shu said, "He also carried a small sword. Is he going to pick up his aunt too?"

Speaking of this, Chen Ming had something to say.

"That's right, he's been fighting pirates alongside your aunt and those uncles."

Fearing that he might be too subtle and they wouldn't understand, he added, "Your aunt's family has three older children who, according to seniority, are your uncles. When you meet them, your brother will introduce them to you."

"Your cousin is with those uncles, the four of them, two to a time. Sometimes, he also goes with your aunt and Lord Wu. The sword he carries is a reward from your aunt for his bravery in killing enemies, which Lord Wu helped to forge."

"That guy has blood on his hands, and not only that, he's even killed a wild boar."

"Wild boar?" The little girl must have been a bit tired of standing, so she leaned against the half-person-high bundle at her feet. The tiny girl sat on the bundle, her little hands supporting her chin, as if she had become even more interested. "That cousin of mine is really amazing."

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "In the future, can Yu-ge and I go to the wild boar hunt with my cousin? Are there any rabbits? Wild boars aren't very pretty; I like rabbits."

Chen Ming: "..." fell into a long silence.

At this moment, Yu-ge'er, who had been intently watching Wu Qingfeng and the others' backs, suddenly spoke up, "I want to fight the pirates with my cousin..."
