He is a sickly Cinderella

Chapter 145 [012] He is a little fish 12

 The little girl seemed frightened by An Yeran's skill in breaking the water cup with his bare hands, and silently took two steps back.

An Yeran also realized that she had overreacted and immediately said, "Sorry, I was a little angry just now."

After that, she took out some silver coins from her pocket and said, "These are for you. They should be enough to compensate for twenty cups."

The little girl looked at it for a moment and frowned slightly, "Is this... money?"

An Yeran said: "Yes."

The girl's little hand took the silver coin from her, and her big eyes didn't blink, as if she saw something new, with a little curiosity.

"I have never touched money in my life. I usually exchange seafood with others. There are rich families, but they usually don't use money to trade with locals." The girl said, returning the silver coin to An Yeran, "Sister, you can take it back. It's just a cup, not expensive."

She had no intention of accepting it, and An Yeran could see that the girl really didn't care, but she felt even more guilty.

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Ani."

"Is there anyone else in your family?"

Ani shook his head. "After Brother Wen left, I was alone for the past two days. Dad went out to sea and hasn't come back for a long time. I have been waiting for him."

"Did your father tell you when he would be back before he left?"

Ani said, "I don't know when." She took out a wooden bucket from the house and placed it in front of the two of them. "Dad said that when I fill this bucket, he can come back."

An Yeran wanted to laugh. It turned out that the methods adults used to coax children were all the same.

But when she saw the wooden barrel, she was slightly stunned.

The barrel on the table was surrounded by wooden boards, but one of the boards was broken, becoming a short board.

So it is impossible to fill such a bucket!

"When your father went out to sea before, did he always ask you to fill the bucket?" An Yeran asked.

Ani thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, only this time. He left ten days ago. When he left, he gave the bucket to me and asked me to try to fill it with water every day. I could only fill it once a day, but I could never fill it up." She felt a little sad when she said this. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned and there were tears in her eyes.

An Yeran pursed her lips, with an inexplicably unhappy expression on her face.

She didn't know what made her father do this, but she was sure of one thing: before leaving home, her father must have known that he would not come back.

"This bucket is broken. It can only be filled after it is repaired." An Yeran said.

Ani said, "I know. Brother Wen also said something like that. But my father said that I can't repair this bucket. I have to fill the broken bucket with water. Only then will God receive my sincerity and he can come back."

An Yeran: "..."

This father really thought it through.

"Can you take care of yourself if you are alone?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded. "I can do everything! Fishing, buying groceries, cooking, and cleaning the house! Oh, and when I saved Brother Wen, I also helped him change his medicine!"
