Zhu Ye's first reaction was just like that, eyeing Wang Yongzhu warily, afraid that if she took a liking to something, she would insist on taking it—what could she do? Her parents and brother had all gone to work in the fields, leaving her alone to watch the house. What if she couldn't fend off Wang Yongzhu?
The little girl's mind worked quickly.
"Zhu Ye, hello. I am Jinhua's aunt. Jinhua told me you have especially clever hands and are really good at gardening. I've heard that the gardenias you raise at home are the biggest and most fragrant in the whole village—" When Wang Yongzhu saw the little girl Zhu Ye looking at her with a face full of caution, she instantly understood that the little girl was guarding against her.
Thus, she had no choice but to start flattering, hoping to make the little girl relax a bit.
