Wang family, at the west end of the village, lost an unlucky little girl. Xu family, at the east end of the village, picked up a girl named Fuman'er.
Everyone in the village said, "Th...

Xu Mao had already been pulled up, and Liu Fang and Old Lady Xu were applying medicine to him. People were coming and going in and out of the room.
Chun'er looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her. She didn't know where she got the courage, but she actually tried to run outside.
"Wang Chunni, where are you going?" Before even stepping out the door, Fu Man'er's clear voice could be heard.
She paused as she was about to lift her foot, turning around in disbelief to meet Fu Man'er's clear, bright eyes.
Just like when I was a child.
Liu Fang and Grandma Xu also turned to look at them. "Man'er, what did you just shout?"
"Wang Chunni, the daughter of Wang Sanbao and Niu Daya from the west end of the village, was kicked out of the village because of her involvement in the flower-picking incident."
After Fu Man'er mentioned it, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately remembered.
"Am I right, Chun'er? No, I should call you Wang Chunni." Fu Man'er looked at Wang Chunni, who was standing frozen at the door.
Wang Chunni's face suddenly turned sinister. "You really are quite capable; you were able to find this out."

She hasn't been in contact with her family for many years, and to outsiders she is only known as an orphan.
Fu Man'er pursed her lips. If it weren't for the intense hatred in Wang Chunni's eyes, she wouldn't have asked someone to investigate her.
At first, the investigation didn't find anything, but the less they found, the more problematic it seemed.
Further investigation revealed that she was actually Wang Chunni. Upon closer examination of her actions, they suddenly made sense.
After learning Wang Chunni's true identity, Old Lady Xu and Liu Fang became even more forceful in their treatment of her.
"Lock her up in the woodshed and keep a close watch on her." Old Mrs. Xu had probably guessed that this woman's approach to her grandson was indeed motivated by ulterior motives, and most likely she wanted to harm the Xu family.
Wang Chunni's face was now filled with undisguised hatred as she roared in defiance.
"Why, why is it that this wild girl, Fu Man'er, who came from who-knows-where, can live a good life in the village?"
“I am a native of Dashi Village, but I am being driven out and left homeless. It’s all your fault.”
"It's all your fault. You've made it so that my grandmother's remains can't even be brought into the village after she died."

“It’s all because of Fu Man’er, she’s a jinx, she killed my grandmother.”
Wang Chunni was cursing loudly when Liu Fang stepped forward and slapped her twice across the face, drawing blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Take him away."
The servants quickly dragged Wang Chunni out.
Zhou Baojin, who had been lying there pretending to be dead, suddenly spoke up, "Is this all over? Let me go, I want to go home."
If he hadn't said anything, Fu Man'er would have almost forgotten about him.
"None of your business? Young Master Zhou, you injured my second brother, and you've already forgotten about it so quickly?"
Fu Man'er stood right next to him, looking down at him, which made Zhou Baojin feel uneasy.
But still, she mustered up her courage and said, "You beat me up too, so we're even."
He dared not say that he had been beaten so badly, nor did he dare to confront the Xu family, or more accurately, he dared not confront Fu Man'er.

"That's why I wanted Young Master Zhou to be a guest at our Xu residence. It's better to be a guest in the guest room than in the woodshed."
Look how generous she is, not holding grudges and treating people like honored guests.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Zhou Baojin covered his head and turned to the side, not knowing what to say.
Fu Man'er took charge of the matter for him, and had someone take him to a guest room to recuperate properly.
After everyone left, Liu Fang asked, "Man'er, is it really alright not to let Young Master Zhou go back?"
After all, it was bad enough that their daughter had beaten someone up like that; if they still didn't release her, the Zhou family would probably rush over and snatch her away.
Fu Man'er said, "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I won't let my brother suffer that blow for nothing."
She wouldn't release them until the Zhou family had to pay a hefty price; otherwise, they would really think the Xu family was easy to bully.
Seeing that her daughter understood, Liu Fang didn't press the matter further.
Fu Man'er rubbed her stomach. "Alright, everything's almost settled. Can we have dinner now? My stomach is growling."

Those few small pastries weren't filling at all.
Upon hearing her granddaughter cry out that she was hungry, Grandma Xu immediately ordered the kitchen staff to serve food, and the group moved to the flower hall.
A little later, the rest of the Xu family returned, and Old Mrs. Xu and Liu Fang were telling everyone what had happened that day.
Because she hadn't slept well for the past two days, Fu Man'er went back to her room to rest early.
Anyway, when everyone gets together, they'll at most discuss how to deal with Wang Chunni, and she'll just wait to hear the results tomorrow.
By the time Fu Man'er woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky, and most of the people in the mansion had gone out to work.
Xu Mao was still lying inside and hadn't come out.
"I heard that the Second Young Master didn't come out for breakfast this morning," Shuangxi said as she served Fu Man'er breakfast.
Fu Man'er picked up a taro ball and said, "So many things have happened these past two days, my second brother probably hasn't recovered yet, so naturally he doesn't have the appetite to eat."
"Go and tell everyone not to disturb him, and just to bring him in his three meals a day on time."

"I asked, but the man wouldn't say. He was a young man with several other people following him. I noticed that their clothes looked a bit like those worn by government officials, but they were also a little different."
This was strange. Fu Man'er didn't even bother to eat. She rinsed her mouth and followed the gatekeeper outside.
