Li Dandan touched her face and looked at Xiao Tuantuan in disbelief: "You little rascal...you, you did this on purpose!"

“My third aunt wanted to get rid of me, and it was on purpose.”

Xiao Tuantuan stared at Li Dandan and said in a serious tone, "Tuantuan is petty and will not forgive those who hurt her."

As she spoke, Xiao Tuantuan looked at Chen Wenxiu again: "I'm sorry, Third Uncle."

Xiao Tuantuan's meaning was simple: even for Chen Wenxiu's sake, she would not forgive him.

Chen Wenxiu concealed the dark glint in his eyes and said calmly, "You did nothing wrong, there's no need to apologize."

"How could she be innocent!" Li screamed. "She actually hit me! I'm her elder!"

"Aren't you going to do anything about her? And you say you're not biased!"

Xiao Tuantuan blinked and said innocently, "Third Aunt, why are you so angry? You didn't lose anything, you only felt a little pain, and you're perfectly fine now."

"you!"

Li Dandan was stunned. Wasn't this what she had just said?

"Father, Mother, I will take her to town and will not give her another chance to harm our family," Chen Wenxiu said calmly.

Li Dandan was overjoyed: "Really? Husband, are you really willing to take me to town?"

"You were so unwilling before, hahaha, I'll pack my things and come with you right now! Xue'er, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things!"

As she spoke, Li Dandan pulled Chen Xue into the room.

Chen's mother shook her head and said sarcastically, "She really thinks going to town is a good thing."

"Alright, since the third brother has made his own decision, let's go with his decision."

As he spoke, he waved, signaling Xiao Tuantuan to come over.

"Tuantuan has been frightened, old woman. Get Tuantuan something good to eat to calm her nerves. And Xiu'er too, your parents are still here, this is your home! Don't overthink it."

“Even if our parents are gone, we, your older brothers and sisters-in-law, will never let you go out and make your way in the world alone,” Nan Nian said quickly, a faint smile on her face.

Chen Zhixiu smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Father and Mother, and thank you, Sisters-in-law. I will make more embroidery in the future to supplement the family income."

Rong Manli frowned, about to say "no need," when Nan Nian stopped her: "Alright, alright, if you have time, it would be even better if you could make a dress for me and your second sister-in-law. You know, your second sister-in-law and I know absolutely nothing about needlework!"

Chen Zhixiu's eyes lit up, and she quickly agreed.

That evening, Chen Zhixiu embroidered flowers while looking at Xiao Tuantuan on the bed, her eyes filled with loving affection.

Xiao Tuantuan's soul had already entered the space.

"Can you understand this medical book?" a mechanical voice asked.

Xiao Tuantuan said while flipping through the medical book, "I don't understand it."

As she spoke, Xiao Tuantuan unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her smooth arms.

What are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes without warning?

Xiao Tuantuan: ...

"You can see it?"

The mechanical sound abruptly stopped. [I can't see.]

Xiao Tuantuan lowered her eyes, concealing the understanding in them. It seemed that the person speaking in this space could have facial features just like a human.

Considering the tone of voice, this mechanical voice must also be a disguise.

Xiao Tuantuan didn't expose her, but instead began to learn by referring to the contents of the medical book and what her grandmother had taught her in the past few days.

Since God has given her something good, she should naturally make good use of it.

On the other side, Chen Wenxiu drove the carriage, taking Li Dandan and Chen Xue towards the town.

They didn't arrive in town until late at night, but Li Dandan was very excited and muttered to herself, "If I had known that making a mistake would bring your father to town, I should have done it sooner."

Chen Xue yawned, feeling extremely sleepy: "Mom, are we there yet?"

Li Dandan lifted the carriage curtain and asked cheerfully, "Husband, how much longer?"

"We've arrived." As Chen Wenxiu's voice rang out, Li Dandan quickly jumped down and lit the lantern in her hand.

"Husband, are you sure this is the place?"

Li Dandan's eyes widened. The house in front of her was actually a thatched hut. That was bad enough, but the problem was that it only had one room. Once inside, everything was laid out before her!

Chen Wenxiu lit the oil lamp, poured a bowl of water for the two of them, and said, "You two should rest first."

"Wah!" Chen Xue burst into tears instantly. "I don't want to be here! It's so dirty! I want to go home! Mom, I want to go home!"

Li Dandan was also stunned, her face full of disbelief: "Husband, you live here? This, how is this possible..."

Chen Wenxiu raised an eyebrow: "Why not? Do you think I'm enjoying a life of luxury in town?"

Li Dandan persisted: "But your clothes clearly show you have money..."

"Oh, my sister-in-law bought these clothes for me." Chen Wenxiu glanced at Li Dandan. "Didn't she mention it?"

Li Dandan fell silent.

Looking at the dusty room, Li Dandan's face showed disgust.

"Since you want to come, then stay." Chen Wenxiu poured himself a bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned to look at Li Dandan. "I heard from my mother that you come to town at least five times a month, saying you come to see me. How come I haven't seen you even once?"

Li Dandan's expression changed, and she quickly said, "I just wanted to catch a glimpse of you at your workplace."

"Really?" Chen Wenxiu gave Li Dandan a deep look. "I'm going to work."

Watching Chen Wenxiu's departing figure, Li Dandan could only swallow her words of wanting to go back. Looking around, she saw there wasn't even a place to sit, and she was furious: "If I had known it would be like this, I would never have come!"

"Mom, what do we do now?" Chen Xue asked pitifully. "It's so dirty, how are we going to sleep!"

"Mother, let's go to Uncle Wang's place."

Li Dandan's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "No, I'll sleep here!"

Chen Wenxiu's words just now clearly indicated his suspicion, and she couldn't afford to give herself away.

In Chenjia Village, Chen Luo looked at the scroll in his hand, his brows furrowed deeply: "How dare someone plot against my Chen family!"

"Keep your voice down!" Chen's mother glared at Chen Luo. "Don't wake Xiu'er and Tuantuan."

"Has this matter been investigated thoroughly?" Chen's mother looked at Nan Nian and Rong Manyi. "There can be no mistake?"

"Ah Li and I investigated together, and we got the same result."

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother's face turned ashen: "Does the third son know?"

Nan Nian and Rong Manli exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Mother, I think Wen Xiu should know, and he knew it even earlier than we did."

Mother Chen snorted coldly: "If that's the case, the third son has his own reasons for bringing them to town, so let's not interfere."

"You should go and rest."

After Rong Manli and Nan Nian left the room, they whispered, "I really didn't expect that we would find out all this just by trying to find out who kidnapped Tuanzi."

"Chen Xue isn't Wen Xiu's daughter? Does that mean Wen Xiu was framed ten years ago?"

Xiao Tuantuan, hiding in the corner: ...

She just came out to relieve herself; she didn't intend to eavesdrop.

Your family has quite a few secrets...

The mechanical voice, tinged with excitement, declared, "Your third uncle's green hat is a bit too dark!"

In the days that followed, Xiao Tuantuan learned martial arts from her maternal grandfather and collected herbs with her maternal grandmother, which kept her very busy.

Ten days later, at noon, while Xiao Tuantuan was helping Chen's mother dry herbs, two boys of similar age, around eleven or twelve years old, walked in.

Chen Lingfeng looked at Xiao Tuantuan with a puzzled expression, then went outside to look around again. After confirming that this was his home, he asked, "Who are you?"

“She’s my aunt’s daughter.” Chen Xingfeng quickly thought of the letters his mother had written.

Chen Lingfeng suddenly realized something and looked Xiao Tuantuan up and down without any attempt to hide it, shaking his head as he looked at her: "So thin, so dark-skinned, so short."

Chen Xingfeng's face remained expressionless; he simply nodded to Xiao Tuantuan and said, "Lingfeng, let's go see our grandparents first."

"Xingfeng and Lingfeng are back." Hearing their voices, Chen's mother came out with a smile. "This is your little sister, Tuantuan."

Xiao Tuantuan put down the medicinal herbs in her hand and walked to Chen's mother's side. She could sense that her two older brothers didn't have any ill intentions towards her, but they didn't like her as much as others did.

However, she wasn't annoyed, after all, she wasn't rich enough to please everyone.

After greeting everyone, Xiao Tuantuan continued with her work.

Seeing this, Chen's mother said to Chen Lingfeng and Chen Xingfeng, "You are the older brothers, spend more time with Tuantuan."

"Tuantuan will also go to school in three days."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingfeng frowned almost imperceptibly, while Chen Lingfeng frowned more noticeably, his face full of displeasure: "Could it be that he's going to cause trouble again like Chen Xue did?"
