No one in the family blames Dalang and Erlang. The two children have a hard time having such a father. It's good enough that they can ensure that they are not led astray.

Although the idea was a bit impulsive, it was not useless. It was just not perfect, and it was not worth ruining Dalang for it.

That would break his leg, so it wouldn't be a problem if he kept it at home.

The reason these two kids suffer is that they are too conscientious. That’s why they feel guilty for their father and dare not face the whole family.

But if you ask them, they are actually used to Fu Erbai making stupid mistakes, and this kind of thing can be solved together.

Looking at the current situation, the whole family didn’t sleep for long.

The brothers Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai were waiting at the city gate before dawn.

Erlang wanted to go with them, but seeing how he looked, he probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else, so they just took him along, and their family just asked for leave from the store for him and Dalang.

Others still have to do what they are supposed to do. Even though they are very sleepy, they still have to make money. Besides, they didn't have time to ask for leave from the shopkeepers yesterday, so they have to apologize to them today.

A Yuan and the others didn't tell Li Tian, ​​and Niu Wa and the others didn't tell Mr. Chen about their absence from class, so they all had to explain.

So even though everyone was very sleepy and lacked sleep, they still got up.

If we hadn't been woken up in the middle of the night yesterday, we could have slept a little longer. But after hearing about this kind of thing, everyone was so upset that they couldn't sleep when they went back home, and they only fell asleep for a while until dawn.

If it were another family, the adults would probably just let it go if it knew about this.

But the rule of the Lao Fu family is that everyone must listen and be aware of important family matters.

At least there should be someone in each room who can make decisions on small matters.

It is said that it was because some families in the village were hiding something from each other, which led to trouble and fighting.

So later when Mrs. Yang and the others were in charge, they established this rule that everything had to be discussed openly.

It’s not that there are absolutely no secrets, but there are no secrets in most things, especially things like this that require everyone’s help.

Yuan and the others had heard some shocking gossip. Although they were still sleepy when they woke up in the morning, they did not complain. Instead, they were all holding their tired eyes open in shock.

"Big brother and second brother are so awesome! These two kids are amazing! They will definitely have great potential in the future!"

A Yuan, carrying a basket, spoke to Lao Futou with great appreciation. His tone was exactly the same as that of the old lady who was chatting and gossiping under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village.

Xingzi also agreed with her: "Yes! I said so too! Big brother and second brother can't be wrong! They have to be promising!"

The old man put his hands behind his back and looked at them unwillingly:

"Go away! You two unlucky kids, what good will that do to you? In the future, you will be able to sell pork at a stall, chop bones and knock out marrow easily?

Okay, okay, if anyone else hears you, go get some snacks and I’ll go explain things to Mr. Chen.

Don't run around after you get it, just wait for me at that intersection, do you understand?"

Yuan and Xingzi nodded.

Old Futou put his hands behind his back and led Niu Wa and the others towards the school.

Ever since Lao Futou started getting snacks from them, Wang no longer had to send the children off every day, as Lao Futou could just send them along the way.

Unless they got up late, Wang would send the children there before them.

Yuan and Xingzi walked into the alley as if they knew the way there, grabbed the door knocker and knocked twice.

Li Tian asked fiercely:

"who?"

Yuan and Xingzi were shocked.

"Sister Li, it's us!" Yuan quickly replied.

"Is it A Yuan Xingzi?!" Li Tian's voice became gentle again.

Ah Yuan didn't even remember that she couldn't see through the door, so he just nodded and said:

"It's us! We come here every day to get snacks, along with your best little sisters! Sister Li, you won't forget us, will you?"

Li Tian hurriedly opened the door and said with a smile:

"How could I forget you two little guys!

You didn't come yesterday, and I was so worried. I wanted to go see you, but... I had something to do, so I couldn't go.

What happened to you yesterday?"

As Yuan walked in with her, he asked with concern:

"Sister Li, what happened? Is your bad uncle here again? Or is your mother here again?"

Li Tian never hesitates when speaking, and she does whatever she thinks of. She is gentle but decisive, so Yuan Xingzi is close to her.

Li Tian was different at this moment, and Yuan and the others noticed it immediately.

Li Tian shook her head and did not answer them:

"It's just some annoying little things, but what happened to you yesterday?

I went to the school this morning to ask, and Mr. Chen said that Hu Tou Niu Wa and the others didn't go yesterday either.

He couldn't leave, and didn't know what had happened to you. He only heard the neighbors say that you were looking for someone everywhere, and they said all kinds of things, but he couldn't find out anything.

We also said that if you didn’t come this morning, we would go look for you.

Fortunately, you are here. What happened?"

Yuan was quite touched, but still felt guilty... so he asked Xingzi to tell a lie that her family had prepared:

"Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival. For some reason, my second uncle went crazy and ran around everywhere, and even sprained his ankle.

He cried and made a fuss about going back to his hometown. His family didn't want to pay attention to him, but it was difficult to find a doctor during the holidays, so they said they would go look for him early in the morning.

As a result, my eldest brother was softened by his annoyance and secretly took a cart and pushed him away in the middle of the night, and asked my second brother to keep it a secret for him.

We woke up in the morning and found out that the person was missing. We searched all day but couldn’t find him. It was not until the evening that my second brother told the truth... It’s over, it’s over?"

Xingzi was still not very fluent in speaking, and she looked at Yuan for help as she had forgotten the words. Yuan gritted his teeth and said half-truthfully:

"When they left, they didn't have much money with them, only one or two ounces of silver.

My family was afraid that something might happen to them, so they asked my father and my third uncle to go out of the city to chase them early in the morning. We don’t know if we can catch them.

My second uncle is always acting differently. If he gets crazy and runs around, something might happen to him or he might get hurt..."

A Yuan looked worried, but what he was thinking was: How can I make sure that my second uncle is not injured and makes a fuss?

Xingzi was also worried: I don’t know if my eldest uncle and third uncle can come up with a good solution, but I must not let my second uncle talk nonsense and harm my eldest and second brothers again!

In the minds of Yuan and Xingzi, Fu Erbai is obviously a bad guy whose good points are only worth remembering after his death. Not only them, but the whole family now hopes to kill Fu Erbai to preserve the reputation of Dalang and Erlang.

I even felt a little resentful towards Dalang and Erlang. Why did they go soft-heartedly and not bite his tongue?

If he shouts this out, will it be okay?

Breaking his own father's leg... No matter what the reason was, if this matter gets out, their lives will definitely be ruined!

So they had to make Fu Erbai's injuries reasonable, like if he accidentally fell on the way back home, it's very likely that he would break his legs and become speechless, right? Right?

The two children were worried and uncertain, how could they throw him so hard that he couldn't speak?

Li Tian only knew that their second uncle was a lunatic. When he lived across the street, he often shouted and screamed. Fortunately, the whole family did not despise him, and the sons were filial and willing to serve him.

So now I felt that they were really worried, so I gave them some advice.

Yuan and the others forced a smile before getting down to business. The two children took out copper coins and gave them to her.

Yuan said, "You didn't come yesterday, but you should have given me the money for the snacks. Grandma specifically told you to accept it when you left."

Li Tian waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "There's no need to count so many baskets of snacks. Since you didn't come yesterday, I distributed the snacks to the neighbors nearby. I didn't keep any for you, so you don't have to pay."

Yuan insisted on giving:

“Even if we kept it until today, we can only give it to others to eat. It was us who broke the promise in the first place, so how can we not pay for it?

Grandma said that buying snacks for you on weekdays is already taking advantage of you.

If we don’t pay this time and you bear the loss, my family will be embarrassed to let us come here in the future!”

Before Li Tian could answer, a familiar voice outside the door shouted:

"You shouldn't have come in the first place! How can you still come here every day knowing that you're taking advantage?"
