Fu Lao Er's trip to town this time was not only because his wife was going to the market, but more importantly, because he wanted to go to the town hospital for a check-up.
He can't possibly never see Boss Fu again in his entire life, can he? He needs to see a doctor and get him cured because he gets diarrhea just by seeing him!
Before we knew it, it was 7:30, and the shuttle bus swayed and came to a stop at the entrance of Fujia Village.
People in rural areas are used to leaving early and returning late, and they're used to getting up early. Even though it's only 7:30 now, there are already no seats left on the bus.
Fu Wan led Fu Ling upstairs, and almost got off the car because of the smell inside.
Since it was morning, many rural residents planned to take their belongings to town to try their luck.
Some people were carrying roosters and hens, some were carrying fish and shrimp that smelled fishy, and some were carrying sweaty and smelly feet.
Oh dear, the Fu family felt like they were suffocating.
Fu Laoda quickly led his family to occupy the available spots by the car window, opening the window and looking out.
The fresh air filled the air, and everyone felt much better.
I'll just ride a bicycle next time.
The road from Fujia Village to the town is still a dirt road. Fortunately, it hasn't rained lately, and although the road is occasionally bumpy, the ride is generally smooth.
However, the rooster on the bus would crow every now and then, making everyone on the bus cover their ears.
Fu Ling, on the other hand, was in a good mood, singing off-key songs nonstop, and was extremely happy the whole way.
Children's joys are sometimes so simple, but as they grow up, for various reasons, their happiness is only fleeting.
Therefore, Fu Wan will try her best to protect her daughter's happiness and strive to give her a memorable childhood.
"Ah Wan, your daughter is so beautiful. Have you ever thought about finding another one?"
Aunt Qian from the village squeezed through the crowd, saw Fu Wan's clothes with only a few patches, and then looked at Fu Ling, who was watching her curiously.
This little girl has gained a lot of weight since she first came to Fu Family Village, and she's quite radiant now.
Not to mention Fu Wan, she was only a little dark-skinned before she got married, but after her divorce, she was not only dark-skinned but also frighteningly thin.
I don't know how she's been raised, but she's gotten much fairer and plumper from going out to sea to fish all the time, and she's become more beautiful.
My nephew spends all his time at home doing nothing, and he's almost thirty and still hasn't found a wife.
If Fu Wan were to marry into that family, she might receive a substantial dowry.
Fu Wan saw the scheming in Aunt Qian's eyes and frowned as she refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt, but I have no plans to remarry. I just want to raise my daughter."
The aunt was not discouraged. "Find another man, have a son, and someone will take care of you in your old age."
“My nephew is a very good catch. He’s honest and kind, and most importantly, it’s his first marriage. He will definitely not treat you badly.”
After saying that, she gave Fu Ling a disdainful look, "You little brat, you're someone else's daughter after all. You'll be lucky if you come back to see me after you get married!"
Fu Wan had truly crossed the line this time, and it was too late to cover Fu Ling's ears.
Fu Ling was about to kick him away when she shouted, "You're talking nonsense! I'll take care of my mother in her old age!"
Fu Wan also pulled her aside, her face turning cold. "Auntie, don't say these things in front of the children. I have no interest in keeping a man, nor in having more children."
"If you have nothing to do, Auntie, you can go dig in the fields or go fishing at sea. Don't spend all your time thinking about making that little bit of money as a matchmaker. If the other person doesn't have a good life after the marriage, then making that money is heartless."
Fu Wan could understand that they wanted to make money as matchmakers and introduce people to potential partners, but she couldn't stand them using her own daughter as an example.
What's wrong with the daughter? Sometimes sons aren't well-educated and are rarely filial either.
The idea of raising children to provide for old age is a burden on children; true filial piety means treating all children equally, regardless of gender.
Aunt Qian was almost kicked by Fu Ling, and seeing the identical anger on the faces of Fu Wan and her daughter Fu Ling made her even angrier.
"You heartless wretches, with your shrewish ways, no wonder you divorced the Shen family and went back to your parents' home to become spendthrifts. Your brother is almost thirty and still can't find a wife because of you unlucky things..."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Fu Ming was suddenly called out by name, and his face was full of anger.
Ye Xiaocui had already grabbed the woman's hair while she was rambling on. She was a hard worker and had considerable strength.
“Try spouting one more word of nonsense. I’m happy to raise my daughter. She earns money by fishing, which is much better than your useless son who sponges off his parents.”
"What kind of person dares to talk about my daughter and granddaughter like that!"
Ye Xiaocui spat on her. Aunt Qian wanted to come up and fight, but Fu Laoda blocked her in front of Ye Xiaocui, so frightened that she didn't dare to move.
"You, you're bullying me!"
After saying that, she was about to sit on the ground and throw a tantrum when the driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror and yelled, "What's all the noise about! Do you think this is a market? If you keep making noise, get out of the car!"
Getting off halfway is not an option, so Aunt Qian quickly shut up, glaring angrily at Fu Laoda's family, inwardly cursing and beating them countless times.
Ye Xiaocui acted as if nothing had happened and apologized to everyone around her.
"Sorry, I disturbed everyone."
Those around them, amused by the spectacle, quickly waved their hands, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, she was just being rude."
Fu Lao Er shrank back, afraid of being caught by Fu Lao Da's cold gaze.
He can clench his buttocks and endure the pain until he gets to the hospital!
Less than ten minutes later, the bus arrived in town, swaying and rattling.
Fu Laoda's family and Fu Liang and his mother got off the bus. Fu Liang and his mother had just been squeezed at the back of the bus, and when they saw Aunt Qian bullying someone, they wanted to rush out and help.
When Aunt Jiang got off the bus, she accidentally stepped hard on Aunt Qian's foot, then said "Sorry" and walked away quickly.
How dare they bully her family's god of wealth? Do they think Jiang Chunlan is dead?!
Aunt Qian was left standing there, cursing and swearing.
The Mazu Temple remains as crowded as ever, with incense burning very vigorously.
Fu Laoda donated fifty yuan as incense money, while Fu Wan, Fu Ming, and others lit incense and knelt on prayer mats to kowtow to Mazu.
May my family be safe and sound, may my fish catch be plentiful, and may everyone make a lot of money.
Fu Wan, with her sharp ears, heard her mother still muttering, "May Fu Ming get married soon..."
Fu Wan was so happy she almost burst out laughing. Mazu was so busy; now she even had to take care of the Old Man of the Moon's job.
However, sincerity will bring results.
After paying respects to Mazu, Ye Xiaocui took Fu Ling and Aunt Jiang, Fu Liang, to the market to buy some things.
Fu Wan then went with Fu Laoda and others to ask about the price of bird's nest at Boss Sun, who sold dried goods next to the People's Hospital and was introduced by Fu San.
They had only taken a few steps when Fu Wan noticed that the figures of two people not far away looked very familiar.
Those are... Shen Guoliang and Fu Sanlaizi?
How did these two people end up together?
