Chapter 887: Chapter 889: You Can Listen, for One Tael of Silver


Sure enough, after Little Liufu heard Xiaoxiao’s singing, his eyes were sparkling. He was almost entranced; this was the first time he’d heard such a voice.


Yang Ming gazed dotingly at his wife, thinking how her singing was always so melodious and extremely pleasant.


Little Liufu in Yang Ming’s arms, his big eyes fluttered, and his whole being was drawn in by the singing.


Shitou’s mother sat in her own room, listening to the beautiful singing. Her heart was deeply complicated, perhaps her son would live a happier life with them.


Everyone was captivated, Xiaoxiao finished singing, still immersed in such beautiful music.


Suddenly, a voice rang out, breaking the wonderful atmosphere.


"Beautiful lady, your singing is just too good. Sing another one, please."


"..." Xiaoxiao was speechless, the good atmosphere was ruined by this person. It felt like this person naturally destroys the mood, Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.


"Beautiful lady, sing another one, will you? Anyway, these days are boring enough, let’s kill some time, eh."


"..."


Right then, Little Shitou started clapping, cheerfully saying, "Auntie, it’s so good to hear. It’s my first time hearing it."


Seeing Little Shitou’s happy expression, the mood that was spoiled by that strange man came back instantly, "Do you want to learn?"


"I want to learn, I want to learn," Little Shitou said, face full of anticipation.


"Then auntie will teach you."


"Yes, yes." Little Shitou nodded vigorously.


After that, the courtyard was filled with the singing of Xiaoxiao and Little Shitou. Little Shitou learned very quickly, and his pitch was perfect. The Grand Theater didn’t have any children’s performances yet; if he could go, he would definitely be popular.


After learning, Little Shitou sang it once for Xiaoxiao, and then he asked, "Auntie, how did I do?"


Xiaoxiao gave a thumbs up, "You sang great."


Because of the singing, Little Shitou was in a very good mood. Auntie was right, singing can improve your mood. Auntie praised him, and he was very happy.


He looked at his uncle, and found his uncle also giving him a thumbs up, which made him even happier.


"Auntie, do you know anything else? I want to learn other things too, so I can sing to mom every day." Little Shitou thought, his mom often cried; if he sings what he learned to her, or teaches her, she might become as happy as he is.


Hearing the boy’s words, Xiaoxiao felt a deep pang in her heart, the child always thought about his mother, didn’t he? "Yes, auntie knows a lot more, auntie will teach you."


Upon hearing they were switching to another song, the strange man interjected again, "Right, right, beautiful lady, sing something else too."


"..." Xiaoxiao was truly speechless. It was already good enough she wasn’t charging him, and now he was causing such a fuss.


Huh? Charge? That’s right, I should charge, can’t let him off so easily. So Xiaoxiao said, "You can listen, for one liang of silver."


"Oh wow, beautiful lady, you’re worse than a bandit. You might as well become one."


"Do you want to listen or not?"


"Listen, listen." The man said, reluctantly pulling out a liang of silver from his pocket and handing it over to Xiaoxiao.


Xiaoxiao took the silver and continued, "Also pay for tonight’s dinner."


"..." The man was speechless; he felt like the little silver he had brought with him was about to be emptied, but he had no choice but to pay, or he’d have no dinner.


So he pulled out another liang of silver and handed it over.


Xiaoxiao took the silver and said, "Little Shitou, come, auntie will teach you something else."
