The Lao Fu family members were silent. What else could they say? They could also tell others that they knew these two people and they were family.

We knew they were bad people a long time ago, and we agreed to keep the worst one. We finally had the chance to kill them, but we didn't catch them, so they ran away and came here to harm you.

Once the words were out of his mouth, there was no need to finish them. When it came to the whole family, the old man would take an axe and chop them.

Even if they didn't say anything, knowing that it had nothing to do with them, they all wanted to kowtow to this old man. We were wrong. Why did we keep her in the first place? Why didn't we catch her!

Now their granddaughter is going to be sold, their son and daughter-in-law are going to die, and their healthy old man is going to be a robber. What kind of thing is this? We are guilty! We deserve to die!

This guilt is reserved for those who are soft-hearted and have a conscience. People like Fubao and Xiao Yang would not be very happy if they got the money.

The old Fu family just couldn't get over this hurdle. It was already a hurdle in the first place, they shouldn't have kept her in the first place, and now there's another one, they almost caught her at that time.

They all hung their heads as if they were hit by frost, and shared the old man's sadness.

Comforting him: "It's okay, good people will have good luck, everything will be fine, the girl will definitely come back, and my son and daughter-in-law will be fine."

I said a lot of nice things to him and the old man felt very embarrassed. I almost wanted to rob him, but he still comforted me like this.

The old man let the family move into the house. There was only one room there, and there was a small room next to it for cooking.

Lao Fu's family took out the food, and the old man helped them light the fire and cook.

The whole family was busy.

Fu Dabai, Fu Sanbai, Fu Sibai, Dalang and Lao Yang, while the old man was not paying attention, the representatives of each family squatted in the corner.

A Yuan, who grew up enjoying watching fun, also quietly squatted over.

Fu Sibai spoke first:

"We have to help a little. You said that we don't have the ability to redeem the ginseng that was distributed to each family back then.

But that is invisible and intangible luck, and maybe nothing serious will happen, but these are three real lives lost!

How could I be harmed by those two evildoers? "

Before Fu Sibai got into trouble, he had always been an innocent and kind-hearted child. He believed whatever others said and would get anxious when something happened in other people's families, as if something had happened in his own family.

It was after experiencing all this that he became a little more prudent and had a slightly irritable temper, and that was towards Xiao Yang, Fu Bao and Fu Lao Er.

To others, he is still the same as before, very simple, silly and kind. It would be fine if he didn't hear such things, but if he heard them, he would be sad.

Just these few words brought tears to my eyes.

It is said that men are made of mud and women are made of water, but when the men of the Lao Fu family were made, they must have added too much water.

Lao Futou, Fu Dabai, Fu Erbai and Fu Sanbai are all okay, except that they shed more tears and showed more emotion in front of their wives. Fu Sibai is different, he is like this wherever he is.

Niu Wa's soft-hearted and somewhat silly nature is probably just what he allows.

Fu Sanbai is a hard-hearted person. He doesn't care about anything that doesn't concern him. He is a little skeptical at this moment:

"How can this be true? Don't be a liar. Are you just making up a story to fool people?"

Even though Fu Dabai was a fusion of these two people, he was soft-hearted but also rational. He also had the brains that Fu Er and Fu Si lacked. After thinking for a while, he said:

"It doesn't seem fake. The mother and daughter he described look too much like Fubao and Xiao Yang. If they were making it up, it wouldn't sound so real and so similar.

If it were any other child, who would let others hug her even though they knew she had so much money in her arms and only had eyes for her?

Who can believe this made up story? "

Dalang, who had suffered greatly from this, nodded his head in agreement:

"He said that the child was most likely Fubao, and that he got sick probably because his strength had weakened."

A Yuan muttered unhappily:

"What's wrong with her? She's suffering so much!

It would be better if she just died, and it would be over in a moment! Who expected her to be alive? She was quite lively!

"It's a pest! It's annoying!"

Who says it's not true? With a thing like Fubao, who would want her to be alive?

Everyone sighed.

Old Yang thought for a long time and tried to ask:

"How about...give him half? Let's go on and talk about it later when there's nothing left?"

Half... Old Fu has eighty-nine taels of silver in his pocket now. If he gives away half of it, there will only be more than forty taels left.

Everyone was silent, thinking:

Once this money is given out, would we want to get it back?

These are the people who are reluctant to give out New Year's money. They are not related to them and they gave out more than 40 taels of silver out of impulse and guilt just to feel at ease. How uncomfortable must they feel?

He would definitely wish to transform himself into a bandit from Tornado Mountain and take back all the money he had invested with interest, and he might even take away a bundle of firewood and an axe.

Ah Yuan scratched his head and asked, "Why don't we sue the county magistrate and his parents? They are clearly in the wrong in this matter!"

Everyone clapped: "Good idea! Where should we sue?"

A Yuan thought about it, his eyes lit up: "Sue... to the county government office!"

Fu Dabai asked her, "Do you really want to be beaten?"

My goodness, how did she come up with the idea of ​​going to the county government office?

Everyone wanted to cry after hearing this: "Why don't we just give him the money?"

It’s better than listening to an idiot!

Face the county magistrate and tell him, I am going to sue you and your parents!

It takes a lot of courage and a lot of stupidity to do such a thing.

They can't do it anyway.

Ah Yuan pouted: "Where else can I go to file a complaint if not to the county government office?"

Fu Dabai: "We still want to know! Let's ask around later!"

Anyway, there is no other way now. Besides, we can wait. Can the old man wait for seven days? "

It's too late! By the time they figure it out, the old man's son and daughter-in-law might be dead and their daughter won't even come back.

The night passed just like that.

The next morning, just after daybreak, before the men arrived, the Lao Fu family packed up and left.

The old man also received the more than 40 taels of silver, and he knelt on the ground and said sincerely:

"Thank you, grandma!"

Old Madam Yang was so angry that she wanted to slap him: "You have a guilty conscience, your face is full of wrinkles and you look older than my father, yet you call me grandma!"

Old man: "Isn't this to express gratitude?"

Old Yang waved his hand:

"Don't do that useless thing. Listen to my advice. Take the money home and sell the land or borrow it. Don't waste it here.

How many people can get through here? Moreover, you have to cheat so many people to collect enough money.

When people are anxious, they tend to make mistakes, and then it's too late!"

It was not known whether he listened to me or not, but the old Fu family drove the ox cart and followed the path the old man pointed to.

Next stop: Qucheng.

The matter seemed to be over, but Yuan never expected that because of this incident, their whole family would be thrown into the prison of some government office!

"No! We didn't put the rat poison there! We didn't poison the county magistrate and his family, so why did they arrest us?"

Fu Dabai patted the railing, puzzled.

The bailiff told him sympathetically:

"Yes, you didn't prescribe the medicine, but you paid for it with your money. The official seal of your Changning County is printed on the silver!"

Ah Yuan was still holding onto the railing, looking up and talking to Fu Dabai:

"It would have been great if we had listened to me earlier! We should have gone to the county government office and sued the county magistrate and his family!"

Everyone:……

If we had listened to you, we wouldn’t be alive today!
