The pointing and whispering of the crowd brought Xu Xuewang to his senses. How could he have been so foolish? He was practically asking for trouble.

He immediately pulled Yang, who was struggling to explain, towards home. He shouldn't have believed Yang; what a terrible idea she had! It could have killed someone.

As soon as the mother and son left, Old Mrs. Xu hurriedly ran home. She was really worried, so she carefully counted the money in the box twice, and then hid it in an even more secluded place.

Looking at her own courtyard wall, she thought to herself, "The wall of the new house must be built very high, and it must be covered with broken pieces of bowls, so that no one can climb over it."

At the same time, she was also thinking that she couldn't let this matter go so easily. She couldn't let this incriminating evidence go to waste.

I thought that only the villagers knew about this brief farce today, but I didn't expect that Xu Genshan and the others would tell me about it as soon as they returned.

However, all they knew was that Xu Xuewang had sold a problematic prescription to Boss Qian of Yuelaizhuang, and they were unaware that the prescription had actually been stolen from his own home.

When Grandma Xu asked about the prescription, the couple looked at each other, completely bewildered. "What prescription?"

"This prescription wasn't written by you?" Old Mrs. Xu asked, noticing the bewildered expressions on their faces.

The adults in the family were all puzzled. Xu Yi inadvertently saw Fu Man'er's eyes darting around. Usually, this little girl was jumping around, but now she was sitting obediently in the chair at the end.

He was still hunched over, and the smile on his face was gone. He looked guilty no matter how you looked at him. Moreover, he seemed to have heard his fourth brother say that he saw Xu Xuewang talking to Fu Man'er.

"Man'er." Hearing Xu Yi's voice, Fu Man'er was stunned for a moment before raising her head. "Huh?" She stared blankly at Xu Yi.

"What did your second uncle say to you the other day?" As soon as Xu Yi spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on Fu Man'er.

Fu Man'er pouted. How could she let her brother know about this? She unconsciously put her two little hands together, her thumbs rubbing against the soft flesh between her thumb and forefinger.

Xu Yi could tell at a glance that the girl was thinking of an explanation, so his voice deepened slightly, "Tell the truth."

"Man'er, did your second uncle come looking for you? Did he bully you?" The Xu family didn't know anything about this, and when Xu Yi asked, they didn't think much of it, assuming that Xu Xuewang was bullying the family's child.

"No." Fu Man'er shook her head gently. "He gave me a packet of jujube cake and a coin." She had finished the jujube cake, but the coin was still in her cloth pocket.

"No, don't be afraid. If your second uncle really bullied you, Dad will help you get justice." Xu Genshan looked at his little girl. As long as she nodded, he would go find Xu Xuewang.

“Yes, Man’er, speak up. Our family will never allow anyone to be bullied.” Old Man Xu also spoke up. He had been busy at home lately and hadn’t been able to keep an eye on his granddaughter. If she were to suffer because of this, it would be a real oversight.

“No, it really didn’t happen. My second, third, and fourth brothers saw it that day too.” Fu Man’er quickly pulled her brothers over to vouch for her.

The Xu family was relieved to see the three boys in the family nod. After all, they all doted on Fu Man'er. If anyone bullied her, the younger ones would have fought back before the adults could even speak.

"Hmph, at least he has some humanity, otherwise we'd settle this score with him later." Old Mrs. Xu still hadn't connected the two things together.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xu Yi had no choice but to ask himself, "Why did my second uncle give you jujube cake and a coin?"

It's no secret that that family is stingy; doesn't everyone find it suspicious?

Sure enough, when Xu Yi asked, everyone started to think about it. Xu Wu also realized that he had wanted to ask about this matter, but his younger sister interrupted him with a piece of sour jujube cake.

Fu Manxin touched her two index fingers together, wondering why her brother had brought it up again. But she couldn't not say, "Yeah, yeah, he asked me where our family's braised food recipe is?"

"So you wanted to find out about our family through Man'er." Xu Wu quickly realized.

“But we don’t have any recipes at home,” Liu Fang said. All the food she made was based on what Fu Man’er told her. She made it a few times and kept improving the taste. She didn’t need any recipes at all; she just memorized them all.

"And then?" Xu Yi went straight to Fu Man'er's side, picked up the little girl with both hands, and then sat down, letting her sit on his lap.

Fu Man'er wanted to bluff her way out of it, but after Xu Yi glanced at her, she had no choice but to tell the truth again, "He also asked me where my parents hid the important things in the house, and I said they were hidden in boxes."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hong chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you're not even careful when you put things away, how come you let the child watch over them?"

She also manages the money in their house, but she keeps it all hidden from the children. These children are not very sensible and are afraid of being told out. That's why Fu Man'er told them.

Grandma Xu glared at her. This heartless girl, is this the time for her to talk?

Liu Fang was still confused; she hadn't hidden anything valuable in the box.

Seeing her mother's puzzled expression, Fu Man'er explained, "Then I put the prescription in a box." The rest was obvious to the Xu family.

Xu Wu suddenly stood up. "That day, my sister asked me to write a prescription?" Although Fu Man'er could read, it was absolutely impossible for her to write by hand.

No wonder Fu Man'er ran to her uncle's room with the paper that day; now I understand.

"Fourth Brother," Fu Man'er called out softly. She felt a little apologetic, but she couldn't write, so she could only ask her fourth brother to do it for her.

For some unknown reason, Fu Man'er pushed Xu Yi's hand away, slid off his lap, and ran two steps to the seat in front of the main seat.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm so sorry. It's my fault that my second uncle and second aunt came to our house to cause trouble again." She heard about what happened today when she got back, and she felt extremely guilty.

Her little brain hadn't yet grasped that this matter wouldn't actually cause her family to suffer any loss.

Grandma Xu and the others finally understood what had happened. "Oh, my dear granddaughter!" She pulled Fu Man'er into her arms and tried to hold her on her lap.

Wow, this little girl has gotten quite heavy. She had to use all her strength to lift her up.

Fu Man'er looked up at Grandma Xu with her little face. Grandma was still smiling as usual, hugging her in her arms and calling her her darling.

"Grandma, I did something wrong, aren't you angry?" Fu Man'er asked.

Grandma Xu burst into laughter, and even the others joined in, which left Fu Man'er completely bewildered.

"My dear grandson, what did you do wrong? You did a wonderful job!"

"Grandma is overjoyed, how could she be angry?"

Xu Xuewang suffered a loss he couldn't speak of. Let's see if he dares to try anything with his family again. He deserved that outcome!
