After that, the Liu family finally had a few days of peace. The villagers were saying that Old Lady Liu and Wu Xiaohua must have encountered a ghost, and that something was very strange about them.

Liu Daneng was so angry that he didn't want to deal with the two of them anymore. He went straight to Xu's restaurant to demand an explanation from Xu Genshan, but Xu Genshan wasn't going to put up with him.

After learning his wife's thoughts, he was even more confident. His tall stature alone completely overwhelmed Liu Daneng, and in the end, Liu Daneng had no choice but to return empty-handed.

With these people gone, the Xu family was able to live a peaceful life again.

Fu Man'er has recently become obsessed with jade carving. Since Liu Fu broke her jade piece last time, Xie Ming and Xu Genshu have found her several more pieces.

Just as Old Lady Liu's first impression was, it was indeed a fake. It was the kind of thing where you could buy several for a dozen coins. It was just a bare stone, and when Fu Man'er had nothing to do, she would take a small file and scribble on it.

That day, Fu Man'er was squatting on the threshold admiring her masterpiece. "Oh, you're the little girl the Xu family adopted, right?"

Fu Man'er looked up and recognized the person as Li Qing's mother. "Hmm, who are you looking for?"

He Xiaoyu smoothed her hair, squatted down, and looked Fu Man'er in the eye. "I came to see you."

"Huh?" Fu Man'er was puzzled. Why was she looking for her?

He Xiaoyu picked up what she was carrying, and Fu Man'er recognized it as the pendant that had hung on the He family's carriage. It was because of this pendant that she had argued with Li Qing.

"Your name is Fu Man'er, right?" He Xiaoyu asked softly.

After Fu Man'er nodded, He Xiaoyu touched Fu Man'er's face with her other hand and said affectionately, "What a good name, it sounds like a blessed name."

"Here, this is for you." She handed over the pendant she was holding.

Fu Man'er only glanced at it, but didn't reach out to take it. "Don't you like this pendant? Take it." He Xiaoyu put the item next to Fu Man'er.

Just as Fu Man'er put her hands behind her back, the gentleness on her face almost crumbled.

"Thank you, but I can't accept this pendant." Her mother had made several pendants like this, and they were all prettier than the one He Xiaoyu had.

Although she didn't like He Xiaoyu's pendant, Fu Man'er still thanked her politely.

He Xiaoyu thought she was afraid to accept it, "Take it, don't be afraid, your father won't say anything to you. If he knew that this was for you, he might be very happy."

For some reason, He Xiaoyu even revealed a confident smile on her face.

Fu Man'er looked at her curiously, "Why?"

He Xiaoyu was about to blurt it out, but she held back, "When I met your father, he was about your age. In the blink of an eye, Brother Genshan's child is already so big."

“The Xu family used to live in a dilapidated house, but now they live in such a big house. It’s really unexpected.” He Xiaoyu’s voice trailed off as she spoke.

Just as He Xiaoyu was about to force the pendant into Fu Man'er's hand, Old Mrs. Xu came out of the house. "Xiaoyu?" She was very surprised to see He Xiaoyu.

"Aunt Xu." He Xiaoyu quickly stood up and was about to step inside without being called, but Fu Man'er took a step back and blocked her way.

This child...

In just a short while, Grandma Xu had already reached the door. "Xiaoyu, why did you come here?"

“Qing’er and Man’er had a fight a few days ago, right? It was because of this pendant. I thought it was used quite a bit now, so I brought it over to give to Man’er.”

When she said that, Grandma Xu thought of Fu Man'er's red and swollen hands after being beaten. People, deep down, all think that their own children are the best.

If Li Qing hadn't brought up Xu Genshan's leg back then, Fu Man'er wouldn't have resorted to violence. Now that the matter is over, Old Lady Xu doesn't want to bring it up again.

“Man’er’s mother made several of these pendants; the carriage was covered with them. You should take them back with you.”

“I heard from Li Qing that you bought this in town, it must be worth a lot of money. We can make our own at home, so I appreciate your kindness.”

He Xiaoyu didn't know if her words were intentional or unintentional, but they sounded somewhat sarcastic.

However, since this was Xu Genshan's mother, He Xiaoyu still maintained a polite smile. "Oh, it's just a toy for a child. If Man'er doesn't like it, I'll bring you something else tomorrow, okay, Man'er?"

Does this mean you'll have to come back tomorrow?

Grandma Xu looked at her suspiciously. What did He Xiaoyu mean by this?

Faced with Grandma Xu's doubts, He Xiaoyu simply smiled openly, appearing completely frank and honest.

"Thank you, but I already have plenty of things to play with, so I won't trouble you any further." Grandma Xu wasn't worried that Fu Man'er would agree to play with these things.

Xu Genzhu would find a lot of interesting little gadgets every time he went out, and all the children in the family could play with them, so they had long since stopped caring about these things.

Although Fu Man'er is quite playful, she knows which people's gifts she should accept and which people's gifts she shouldn't.

After being rejected by Fu Man'er once again, He Xiaoyu's smile became somewhat stiff. What's wrong with this child? She doesn't even want to play with things. Does she prefer food? Or pretty clothes?

"Xiaoyu, don't worry about it. Man'er has a lot of things to play with, don't spoil her." If we're talking about spoiling, no one spoils her as much as the Xu family.

He Xiaoyu was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth to powder. What was wrong with this old lady Xu? She had been standing at the door talking for so long, but she didn't even invite her in to sit down.

As it turned out, Grandma Xu not only didn't want her to come in, but also wanted her to leave. "Xiaoyu, I'm busy with things at home, so I won't entertain you any longer."

"Man'er, let's close the door and go with Grandma to cut some cabbage. I'll make cabbage dumplings for you tonight," Grandma Xu said to Fu Man'er, her eyes overflowing with affection.

He Xiaoyu thought to herself, it seems the rumors in the village are true. The Xu family really dotes on this girl they picked up. She remembered that Old Mrs. Xu used to be very fierce. Who would have thought that she would look like a kind grandmother now?

Fu Man'er cheered and turned to go inside to get the basket. When Grandma Xu turned around, she saw He Xiaoyu still standing at the door.

"Aunt Xu, are you still angry with me?" He Xiaoyu asked cautiously.

"Why are you angry? Don't be angry. It's normal for kids to fight and play. It's just that they're young and don't know any better, so we adults have to keep an eye on them and not let them say things they shouldn't."

There was a hint of estrangement in Grandma Xu's voice, which He Xiaoyu noticed. "Aunt Xu, as you know, that's not what I wanted to ask about."

The feeling of avoiding the topic is unsettling. "And also, Brother Genshan, he's probably still angry with me, right? When I called him during the move, he barely wanted to talk to me." (Qianqian Xiaoshan)

He Xiaoyu felt very wronged, and as she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, as if she had been bullied.

This behavior exhausted the last bit of patience that Old Mrs. Xu had left. "Genshan has been married and had children for a long time and is doing very well now. You are also married and have children. The past is over, so let's not bring it up again."

"How can we not mention it? What happened back then was my fault. I... I should apologize to you and Brother Genshan." He Xiaoyu looked very agitated, and tears welled up in her eyes in an instant.

Grandma Xu's eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown. "No need, no need. You should go back now and live your own life."

After saying that, Grandma Xu was about to call out to Fu Man'er when she turned to the side and saw Fu Man'er standing there, looking at them with a curious expression. It was unclear how much of what she had heard was actually there.

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xu looked at He Xiaoyu with even more impatience. "Man'er, let's go."

Fu Man'er obediently carried the basket over. Grandma Xu ignored He Xiaoyu, locked the door, and left with Fu Man'er. When she passed by He Xiaoyu, Fu Man'er gave her a special look.

“Aunt Xu, please go ahead with your work. I’ll come to visit you another day,” He Xiaoyu said from behind.

Grandma Xu wanted to tell He Xiaoyu not to come again, but when she turned around, He Xiaoyu had already walked away.

She sighed, and her gaze met Fu Man'er's. "Man'er, don't tell your parents about what happened today, okay? Especially your mother."

"Oh, okay." Fu Man'er nodded in agreement without asking why.

Seeing how readily she agreed, Grandma Xu felt uneasy. The child didn't understand yet; should she say a few more words herself?

But Fu Man'er seemed to have forgotten about it in an instant. Seeing that Grandma Xu was stunned, she shouted loudly for Grandma to hurry up because she wanted to cut a big cabbage to make dumplings.

Never mind, Man'er only remembers to eat; she'll probably forget everything else soon.
