"Mom, look, look! Fu Niu'er ate poop!"

The mischievous boys pointed at Fu Niu'er and jumped up and down, their expressions still full of shock, but with an added touch of pity.

Isn't the Li family rich?

Isn't Fu Niu'er a princess? Does she never get enough to eat?

You can't eat shit!

I should have given her one of the plain steamed buns from home...

Jiayin saw everything in their eyes, but she was powerless to refute them; she was completely numb.

His lifelong reputation was ruined here!

Which deity is on duty today? Hurry up and take these stupid kids away!

She's willing to pay, she's willing to pay!

The young wives, who had been dragged over by the children to watch the "poop man," were biting their lips tightly, afraid that they would burst into laughter and roll on the ground.

A young woman who was quite familiar with Old Lady Li stammered, her shoulders trembling, "Um... Auntie, hehe, it's a misunderstanding, this must be... haha..."

She tried for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Unfortunately, her son, unaware of his mother's "hardships," continued to tug at her clothes, shouting, "Mom, I didn't lie to you, I saw Fu Niu licking..."

The young wife quickly covered her son's mouth, fearing he might "get himself killed."

The soy sauce vat was right next to them, so they could see it clearly and knew that Fu Niu'er must have fallen into the vat.

But it's just... too similar, too similar!

Jiayin's eyes were glazed over at this moment, and she had completely given up and was ready to be mocked.

This is definitely a dark chapter in her life, one that she can never erase.

She shook her wet arms, turned her head and said, "Grandma, I think I can still use it after I wash it clean!"

"It can be used? Ah! It can be used, of course it can be used!" Old Mrs. Li finally came to her senses and responded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, wash it, wash it quickly!"

She deftly took the key from her waist and handed it to Shui Ling, "Quickly open the front gate and take Fu Niu'er to have a good wash."

"Also, Shuiyun, go home and bring me that bottle of osmanthus hair oil that Zhensheng bought for me, quick, quick!"

Granny He didn't care about anything else. She bent down, carried Jiang Jiayin and Ren, and ran towards the front yard. Just as she turned the corner gate, laughter came from the back garden.

"Haha, ouch, my stomach!"

"Oh my, oh my, this is hilarious!"

"How did Fu Niu'er fall into the vat? My naughty son has never done that before!"

The young wives couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, almost rolling around on the street.

This time, it was the naughty boys' turn to be dumbfounded.

They exchanged glances, and one of them put his hands on his hips and scolded his mother, "Mom, the teacher said we can't laugh at our friends!"

Fortunately, Jiayin didn't hear those words, otherwise she would have definitely leaned close to the naughty boy's ear and yelled, "Big brother, you know, you understand, you get it, but what were you doing and thinking just now!"

Both side rooms of the Cui family's house have hot spring pools, so not only can Madam Cui take a bath when she comes, but it is also very convenient for her to bring guests.

Now, Jiayin has stripped down to her last piece of clothing, looking like a plump white dumpling, and jumped into the pool with a splash.

If she could, she'd even want to shed her hair!

Granny He was running around the room, making sure to open the water inlet and outlet as wide as possible, otherwise the hot spring in the bath would quickly turn into a broth.

We also need to prepare bath powder, clean clothes, and a charcoal brazier for drying the little master's hair.

Of course, she also needed to change her clothes, because after holding the little master who looked like a mudfish, she was covered in soybean paste...

She soaked herself for a full hour, until her skin was wrinkled from being in the water, before she finally let herself go.

After washing up, Jiayin combed her hair again and changed into clean clothes.

Grandma Li had been waiting outside. When she saw the side room door open and her granddaughter transform back into a clean and beautiful little fairy, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She asked softly, "Um... Fu Niu'er, what would you like to eat for dinner tonight? Grandma will make you some sugar pancakes, okay?"

"Okay, the pie is delicious, make some more porridge!" Jiayin replied listlessly.

Grandma Li nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I'll make steamed buns. I'll also bring breakfast for tomorrow morning."

The grandfather and grandson engaged in awkward conversation the whole way, their words utterly nonsensical.

After finally making it back to her home and sitting down in a chair, Tao Hongying returned from the city.

As soon as she entered the room, she habitually picked up her chubby daughter and sat her in her lap, then spoke to her mother-in-law, "Mother, the restaurant business is getting better and better!"

"Really?" Old Mrs. Li was afraid that her granddaughter would be embarrassed, so when she heard her daughter-in-law say that, she smiled and replied, "Of course that's great! Making a fortune every day is something other families can only dream of!"

Tao Hongying wanted to say something, but suddenly lowered her head, sniffed twice, frowned, and asked, "Mom, did you make fried egg sauce at home? Why does it smell like sauce?"

Grandma Li froze on the spot, her mouth opening and closing several times, unsure how to explain the enormous misunderstanding that had just occurred.

Unfortunately, just then, Li Lao Er rushed back from outside, shouting before even entering the door, "Mother, what happened? I heard that Fu Niu fell into the cesspool?!"

Grandma Li slapped her forehead, completely giving up the struggle... Good heavens, this is not going to end here!

Jiayin covered her face, jumped down, and ran back to the backyard in a flash.

Tao Hongying took her second brother-in-law's words seriously. Her eyes widened like saucers, and she immediately stood up. "Mother, Fu Niu'er really fell..."

"No, no!" Old Mrs. Li waved her hands frantically and said quickly, "It's the soy sauce vat, the soy sauce vat!"

She quickly recounted what had just happened, and then added, "The soy sauce vat was too high, so I buried half of it in the ground. Fu Niu thought there wasn't much soy sauce left, so she plunged in headfirst. Just then, school let out, and those naughty boys started yelling..."

Tao Hongying and Li Lao Er imagined it for a while, thinking about the chubby girl covered in soybean paste, and the shock of the naughty boys. The scene was really too "touching"!

Neither of them spoke; both kept their heads bowed low, trembling uncontrollably as if they had stepped on an electric wire…

Grandma Li was both amused and exasperated, and she called out to them, "Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in, my stomach still hurts!"

Tao Hongying, Li Lao Er, along with Granny He and Shui Ling, all burst into laughter.

This "misunderstanding" is so bizarre, the kind that even a celestial being descending to earth couldn't explain!

Jiayin lay on the kang (heated brick bed) in her suite, rolling around and muttering, "Social death, social death ahhhhh!"

Tao Hongying barely managed to suppress her laughter and followed her daughter into her room. Upon hearing this, she assumed that her daughter had been ridiculed too much and was now harboring resentment.

She quickly stepped forward and hugged her daughter, asking, "Shoot her to death? Who does my Fu Niu'er want to shoot to death? We can't do that. Everyone just thinks it's funny, they don't really want to laugh at you."

"Besides, it's just a small vat of soy sauce. We'll just be more careful in the future, right? You're still young, with short arms and legs, so this is inevitable. You won't have this problem when you grow up!"

Jiayin wrapped her arms around her mother's neck, feeling extremely indignant as she recalled what had just happened. "Mom, they said I fell into a cesspool, and then they said I ate shit! Waaah, I'm so angry!"
