Chapter 13 Night Talk



At the dinner table tonight at Lao Fu’s house, everyone fought for that egg!

Especially Rabbit and Apricot, who had no one to help them grab food. They were so self-reliant that they almost destroyed the plate with a single chopstick. The ferocity of their hungry wolves pouncing on food was so frightening that even the plates, let alone the people, would be scared.

After dinner, in the big house.

"Oh~" A Yuan half-lying on Fu Dabai's legs, sighed sadly.

Fu Dabai: ...

"What's wrong? Who pissed you off?"

Fu Dabai asked halfheartedly.

He originally wanted to soak his feet comfortably in hot water. Just as he poured the water and sat down, Yuan took off his shoes and walked in, then lay on his legs as if he knew the place well.

That openness was only thanks to the fact that they were relatives, otherwise the boat of fatherly love would have sunk to the bottom by now.

But considering that she is his biological daughter, Fu Dabai decided to give her some perfunctory treatment.

Yuan just wanted someone to chat with him, and now that he was good at talking, he wanted to talk all the time, but the content of his speech was still the most important:

"Oh~ scrambled eggs smell so good."

His eyelids drooped, and he knew exactly what was going to happen next:

"Well, is it over?"

Yuan smacked his lips:

"I still want to eat."

"Oh, what should I do? I'll put the egg shell in your bed, and you can hug it and go to sleep quickly. Think about it hard at night?"

Fu Dabai took A Yuan out and put her on his lap. He wiped her feet with a handkerchief and teased her.

Yuan's shoulders slumped and his mouth pursed:

"My cousin and Xingzi had already chewed the egg skins, and they were chewing them with a lot of crunch. Mom didn't stop them, and she scolded them for being so hungry that they could swallow anything, even chicken poop."

Fu Dabai's mouth twitched, he stole a glance at Li who was already lying down, and whispered:

"Don't imitate them, and don't imitate your mother's way of speaking. Little girls shouldn't talk about shit, piss, or farts. You can't even say poop. It sounds offensive."

Yuan: “Oh.”

He agreed quickly, but couldn't hide his disappointment. It was obvious that he had almost grasped the essence of the matter.

Fu Dabai was a little worried. The unlucky kid was worse off than if he had poor eloquence. Why did he only learn this stuff if he had good eloquence?

However, Fu Dabai chose to skip this topic and continued to tease her:

"Ahem, the egg shell is gone. What do you mean? Put your cousins ​​in bed and hug them? And then think about them in your dreams?"

"Oh my!" Yuan was really anxious. How come her father still didn't understand her even though she was eloquent?

"I mean, I still want to eat."

Fu Dabai spread his hands innocently:

"Then I'll go pick up your two cousins ​​for you?"

Yuan bared his teeth and scowled as he tried to understand again:

"I want to eat. I want to eat!"

Fu Dabai: "Yes, go ahead and do it. I'm not stopping you."

Yuan twisted his body unhappily:

"I mean, I eat, I have to eat, mainly to eat, not to think."

Fu Dabai looked as if he had suddenly realized something:

"Oh~! You want to eat scrambled eggs? Aren't you already eaten? Just taste it. Dad can't do anything about it~"

Fu Dabai washed his feet hastily with the cooled water that A Yuan had used to soak his feet, and poured the water into a wooden barrel to prepare for dealing with it tomorrow.

A Yuan followed Fu Dabai eagerly:

"Grandma has it, let's go to grandma's house."

Li's family was quite poor in the past few years, but with the betrothal money from Lao Fu's family, the family got through it.

The remaining money was used by Li's brother and sister-in-law to buy chickens, ducks and piglets, which they raised and sold, and the family gradually saved some extra money.

Li's brother, sister-in-law, parents and parents all felt guilty towards Li and wanted to compensate her when their conditions improved.

Every time Li and Yuan went there, they would prepare a lot of delicious food, and Yuan would be reluctant to leave after eating so much.

Normally, the Li family would also send some rice, flour and meat to the Lao Fu family.

Zhao and Wang's families were also short of money at that time. Although the old Fu family was poor, they gave a lot of betrothal money and even sold part of their land for this.

These two people came to help their family out of an emergency at the time, and coincidentally, Mrs. Yang also thought they were good, so the two families discussed it and married them off.

However, their parents' families were not as lucky as Li's brother and sister-in-law, and their conditions were only average. But out of guilt, they would send some things from time to time.

A few years ago, Li's brother and sister-in-law asked her if she wanted to go home. They said that the family had enough money to pay back the betrothal gift, and then they would find a good family for Li and give her more dowry.

If they can't bear to part with Yuan, they should go and negotiate with the Fu family. Even if they buy a boy from the broker in exchange for Yuan, they can take care of Fu Dabai in his old age. It's not like they can't get out. Why continue to stay in this fire pit, going hungry and cold all day long?

Li's brother and sister-in-law tried to persuade her earnestly for a long time, but Li never agreed, and the matter was left unresolved.

Later, someone heard this and it spread until it reached Fu Dabai's ears. Now Fu Dabai doesn't even want A Yuan to go to Li's parents' home.

But it didn't stop Li.

When he heard that Yuan was thinking about the delicious food at his grandma's house again, Fu Dabai's rebellious spirit suddenly came up:

"Tsk, why are you going? It's just fried eggs. Dad has plenty of ways to deal with it. Don't worry about your grandma's house. Come with Dad tomorrow and I'll take you to eat."

"Okay!" Yuan was happy all of a sudden.

"You went to look for those bad friends of yours again, and brought Yuan with you. It's not enough for you alone, you also have to bring Yuan with you."

Li's tone was calm, but the father and son sensed the danger immediately.

A Yuan shrank his neck and looked at his father: It’s up to you, I want to eat scrambled eggs.

Fu Dabai: Unlucky child.

"Well, this has to be changed slowly," Fu Dabai smiled awkwardly and crawled into the bed next to Li, and continued,

"Besides, there's not even a drop of oil or water at home, and the children are so skinny. I'll take Yuan to see some meat, and I can bring you some meat to satisfy your craving."

Li rolled her eyes at him, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She said unhappily:

"I don't need to. You still have the nerve to say that Yuan is thin. I will just let Yuan live at her grandmother's house for a while, saying that her grandmother is sick and misses her.

I only have this one daughter, and even if I guess what happened, I won’t care.

As a result, my brother and sister-in-law took the person away, but within three days you came back to take him back, forcing Yuan to suffer here."

Fu Dabai shrank his neck guiltily and patted his face:

"Isn't that a good look for me?

Your brother and sister-in-law would detain you two as soon as they saw you two, for fear that you would return to this hell.

Your family already thinks my family is poor. If they knew that you two couldn't even afford scrambled eggs and only had one meal a day in winter, they would be angry with me.

Even if you don't take the two of you away, you have to let me marry into your family."

Li punched him:

"What are you talking about? My brother and sister-in-law are reasonable. Besides, your family's winter meal is a secret. We already know everything.

That means no one wants to spread this gossip."

Fu Dabai was relieved when he saw that Li didn't insist on meeting her bad friends again. Just as he was about to hug his wife and say something else, Yuan climbed up on the pillow and squeezed between them.

Fu Dabai's outstretched arm was just placed under A Yuan's head.

A Yuan was still not satisfied: "It's not good, I want my mother to hug me."

Fu Dabai immediately retracted his arm and said with disdain:

"Tsk, you're so annoying. I didn't even want to hug you in the first place!"

Li just smiled and pulled Yuan into her arms when she heard Wang shouting outside:

"Mom! Mom, please come quickly! My Xingzi is having diarrhea and vomiting, what should I do?"

The family members who had just laid down all got up.
