Fu Ciyi complained in his heart, could it be because I didn’t give him a reward last night?
Fu Beimo opened the lunch box and pointed at the dishes inside: "Look how carefully my sister-in-law packed it. She is very skillful. If I can find a wife, I want to marry someone like my sister-in-law, who is good-looking and can cook delicious food."
Suddenly, my stomach growled.
"I'm going back, brother, eat slowly."
He put down the lid and ran away like a puff of smoke.
Fu Ciyi's expression was as cold as water as usual, but his calm eyes were suddenly filled with shock.
He wanted to try it and see how delicious the food she cooked for Fu Beimo was.
He lifted his robe and sat down, picked up a cabbage and meat roll with his chopsticks, and took a bite.
The fragrance is everywhere.
The light taste of the cabbage mixed with the fat of the meat is incredibly delicious.
Haha, the dishes she cooked for Fu Beimo were indeed delicious.
But he also ate it, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed...

At this moment, at home, Yan Funing saw that Ali still hadn't come, so she went to the main hall to talk about this matter with her mother-in-law.
"Mom, Ali has been coming to our house every day these days, but he's nowhere to be seen today."
Before Wan Niang could speak, Fu Nan Yao spoke first: "Are you trying to be lazy?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The child is quite diligent." Wan Niang speculated, "Could he be sick? It's a cold spring now, and the nights are chilly. Maybe he caught a cold."
Yan Funing said, "I'll go take a look."
Fu Nanyao said anxiously, "I'll go too."
"Bei Mo hasn't come back yet. We're just waiting for nothing." Wan Niang fumbled to get up, "I'll go see Ali too."
Children without parents are always pitiful.
The three of them walked towards Ali's house.
While I was still halfway there, I heard a noisy quarrel coming from the direction of Ali's house.
"I didn't steal your things!" Ali shouted anxiously, but no one believed him.
Hearing the sound, Yan Funing and Fu Nanyao supported their mother and quickened their pace.
When they arrived, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Fu and Qian, grabbed Ali's arms on the left and right, pointed at his nose and scolded him.
"Just you little bastard, you just passed by me and one of my earrings disappeared."
Fu raised her hand and pointed at her earlobe to show it to others. There was an obvious hole on it, but there was no earring.
There was indeed a gold earring on the other ear.
"These are gold earrings. How many people in the whole village wear gold earrings?" Fu said proudly.
The villagers who were watching the fun started talking.
Someone, holding a bowl of rice, said while eating, "Ali's family is poor, so it's possible that he stole it."
Someone, cracking some melon seeds, chimed in: "It's said he was kicked out of his grandmother's house. I think he stole something."
Ali was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't steal it!"
Fu twisted Ali's arm viciously and said, "You little bastard, you stole it."
"You're so dirty." Qian looked Ali up and down. "Where did you steal the fabric for your cuffs and trouser legs? It's obviously different from the material of your original clothes. Why don't you confess?"
"Everyone, look, the fabrics used to stitch the cuffs and trouser legs of his clothes are made of fine materials. How could he have fine materials?" Qian lifted his arms for people to see.
"Watch your mouth!" Fu Nanyao's face flushed with anger. "The fabric for Ali's cuffs and trouser legs was given by my sister-in-law. I sewed it on myself."
Qian didn't believe it and insisted on pulling Ali's sleeve.
Yan Funing let go of her mother-in-law's arm, walked a few steps towards Ali, raised her hand and clasped Qian's elbow.
Just one click.
She didn't know kung fu and her hands weren't strong enough, but she was familiar with the joints and knew how to press them to make someone's arm numb.
As expected, Qian's arm felt numb and she immediately let go of Ali.
"Old woman, I tell you, I didn't steal!" Ali pushed away Fu who was holding his other arm.
The fifteen-year-old boy was already quite strong, and Fu staggered after being pushed.
Fu started to curse: "You wild boy, born of parents but uneducated, you stole my gold earrings!"
Wan Niang said solemnly, "Ali is indeed without parents, but now he has me as his aunt. Who dares to call him uneducated?"
"Ali's clothes are too short. The fabric for patchwork was given by my daughter-in-law, and the needlework was done by my daughter."
"During this period, Ali has been eating the food of my Fu Wan mother's family, which means he was raised by my Fu Wan mother. He listens to me talk about the principles of life every day, so there is no way he would do anything immoral!
"Food doesn't fall from the sky; it's bought with the money my son and daughter-in-law earn."
"Who among you has ever fed him? If anyone has, you can scold him. But if not, please shut up!"
"How can you insult my child, who is raised with good food and meat?"
After these words, there was a strong aura.
It was the first time that the villagers had seen Fu Wanniang so majestic, and everyone fell silent for a moment.
Ali's nose was sore. He stood beside Wan Niang and called out aggrievedly, "Auntie."
Wan Niang fumbled and patted his face: "Don't be afraid, your aunt is here!"
Ali nodded heavily, tears falling uncontrollably.
Even at his grandmother's house, when his aunt wrongly accused him of stealing, his grandmother and uncle knew that it was his cousin who stole the things, not him, but they failed to come forward to defend him.
Instead, he was driven out.
His biological mother ran away with someone and didn't want him.
The fact that his aunt, who had no blood relationship with him, treated him like this warmed his heart.
At this moment, Mrs. Fu suddenly sat down on the ground and threw a tantrum: "Fu Wanniang, that stinky boy Ali stole my gold earrings. Since you raised him, you must return them to me."
Wan Niang said, "What nonsense? Ali didn't steal!"
Fu slapped her thigh and muttered, "I don't care, just compensate me with a gold earring!"
Yan Funing bent down, reached out and weighed the gold earring on Fu's other ear, and said with a smile, "It turns out it's hollow."
"Even hollow ones are gold earrings!" Fu turned her head away and snorted, "If you can't pay for the gold earrings, you can use Ali's broken yard as compensation!"
At this moment, Yan Funing noticed something shiny on the inside of Fu's shoes and immediately called out, "Ali, grab her left foot and take off her shoes."
Ali stepped forward, grabbed her ankle, and took off her cloth shoes in the blink of an eye.
A gold earring rolled out.
"You stuffed the earring into your shoe and falsely accused Ali of stealing. It turns out you wanted to take over Ali's yard. Just because of a hollow earring, you thought you could take over the whole yard?" Fu Nanyao sneered, "You Hu family members have taken over my yard, and now you're targeting Ali, an orphan. You're really evil."
Fu stood up, patted her butt, and spat, "Who cares about this shabby yard of his?"
But it was always a fact that the gold earring fell out of her shoe.
At this moment, the villagers were pointing at her and she was too embarrassed to do anything, so she immediately pulled Qian away.
Finally the truth came to light and the villagers shook their heads and dispersed.
Ali knelt down in front of Wan Niang with a thud: "Auntie!"
No matter how many words of thanks he said at this moment, they could not express his gratitude.
"Child, get up quickly." Wan Niang said gently, "Come home and have dinner."
"Um."
