"My son."
"My eldest grandson."
Grandma Liu and her daughter-in-law then remembered that Liu Fu had gone out to play for half a day, and the sound of his crying broke their hearts.
The crowd followed the sound of crying and found it was coming from the main gate.
Besides Liu Fuzai, Fu Man'er was also there.
She was making pastries with Liu Fang in the kitchen, wearing a small apron around her neck, which was specially made for her, and her hands and face were still covered in flour.

"What's wrong, Fu'er? Did this cheapskate bully you?" Old Mrs. Liu rushed forward, hugged Liu Fu tightly, and looked at Fu Man'er with a wary expression.
The girl Xu's family had taken in seemed very strange to her, so she went back to Liu's house with Liu Fang once. She and her grandson were beaten so badly by Liu Fang that they were in pain for several days. Her daughter-in-law also sprained her ankle while chasing after Liu Fang.
It took the three of them several days to feel better, and now, seeing this money-losing woman, she felt disgusted.
A person's eyes can directly reflect their attitude towards you. Although Fu Man'er is young, she is extremely sensitive. She doesn't like this person called Grandma at all.
You could even say she disliked her maternal grandmother's family; she disliked them terribly.
So when Old Lady Liu stared at her with wide eyes, Fu Man'er suddenly tilted her head forward and made a face at Old Lady Liu.
Old Mrs. Liu was already wary of her, and when Fu Man'er suddenly approached, she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her face, as if some ferocious ghost was devouring her.
"Hahaha." This audacious look amused Fu Man'er, and she laughed heartily without any restraint.
Liu Fang quickly pulled her daughter to her side and gave her a warning look. Fu Man'er, having received the warning, simply covered her mouth with her hand. It was alright; she would just not laugh out loud.
But sometimes, silence speaks volumes. Old Mrs. Xu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "Liu Fang, is this how you raised this money-losing brat you picked up?"

The constant use of the derogatory term "money-loser" made the entire Xu family uncomfortable. "In-law, Man'er is our Xu family's granddaughter, our precious darling. Please watch your words."
Old Xu wasn't a talkative man, but he felt very uncomfortable hearing others talk about his granddaughter like that.
"Hmph, always calling her a money-loser, I wonder who's the real money-loser. If I ever hear you say that about my Man'er again, I'll tear your mouth apart and cut off your tongue."
Old Mrs. Xu had long been disgusted by this, and if it weren't for the fact that Liu Fang was still there, she would have already gone up and attacked.
The story of how she cut Granny Yao with scissors is still circulating in the village, and for a long time no one dared to gossip about her. She wouldn't mind taking the scissors again.
“Mother, Man’er is my daughter. I don’t care what you say about me normally, but if you say Man’er, I won’t stand for it.” Liu Fang’s expression was very unpleasant. She didn’t want the title she had carried since childhood to fall on Fu Man’er again.
Although Xu Genshan didn't say anything, he kept staring coldly at Old Lady Liu. Old Lady Liu had a feeling that if she dared to say another word, Xu Genshan would hit her.
Fu Man'er pouted, looking a little aggrieved, but also with a determined air, "I'm not a money-loser, I can earn lots and lots of money!"
As she spoke, she opened her hands wide, but her hands were too short to open them very wide.
Just kidding, she's a lucky koi fish! Since ancient times, koi fish have been a symbol of good fortune. Plus, her family is hardworking and smart. With her around, they won't lose money.

"Yes, our Man'er is the most amazing. She can earn so much money." Grandma Xu affectionately reached out and patted her head. Indeed, the family's fortunes were improving, all thanks to the arrival of Fu Man'er. She was truly the lucky girl of the Xu family.
The Xu family all protected Fu Man'er, looking at Old Lady Liu with a shared hatred. She didn't have the guts to be tough; at best, she was just a paper tiger in front of Liu Fang.
"Hmph." Old Mrs. Liu glanced at them weakly. "Fu'er, let's go home. We're not going to put up with this here."
Liu Fu in her arms had long since stopped crying. If you say he was crying, it was just shouting at the top of his lungs; his eyes didn't even turn red.
Liu Fu crossed his arms and was about to follow Old Lady Liu out.
Fu Man'er stepped out from behind Liu Fang and said, "You're not allowed to leave. You took our things."
Upon hearing this, Liu Fu tightened his arms around his chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"What? We didn't take anything from your house!" Wu Xiaohua was about to curse, but when she caught sight of her son's uncomfortable posture, she instantly understood.
I'm afraid my son really took something from someone else.
Old Mrs. Liu noticed too, "Fu'er, what did you take?"
The Xu family members were also curious and gathered around. Finally, under everyone's gaze, Liu Fu pulled open his shirt to reveal a jade ornament the size of a bowl.
"Isn't this...?" Liu Fang was stunned when she saw the jade ornament.
"What is this? It's just a piece of fake jade. Let our Fu'er play with it for a couple of days, and we'll return it to you when he's done playing with it."
Grandma Liu had never seen jade before, but she could tell at a glance that this was a fake. The things carved on it were all jumbled up and she couldn't read or recognize them.
"No, we can't give it to him." Fu Man'er said, reaching for the jade. Liu Fu quickly pulled his clothes back up, his face stubborn. "Mom, Grandma, I want it, I want to play with this."
Grandma Liu and Wu Xiaohua doted on him immensely, and since it belonged to the Xu family, they felt it was acceptable to take it.
"Okay, play, play, you can play." Completely ignoring the feelings of the Xu family.
“Mother, this jade belongs to Man’er, we can’t give it to Fu’er,” Liu Fang said.
"What do you mean you can't give it to me? It's just a fake. You can just buy another one. Your Xu family is so rich, you can't even afford a fake jade?"
Old Mrs. Liu took shamelessness to the extreme; she refused to believe that the Xu family could possibly try to steal it.

Adults might not, but Fu Man'er would. She rushed up to Liu Fu and said, "Give me back my jade."
A fair, delicate palm was laid out in front of Liu Fu, who covered himself up even tighter. Seeing this, Fu Man'er immediately reached out to snatch it, but Wu Xiaohua, with her sharp eyes, pulled her son away.
The Xu family elders also spoke up, saying that the items belonged to the Xu family and had to be taken back, otherwise the Xu family wouldn't be leaving the house today.
Grandma Liu shouted impatiently, "It's just a fake, is it really that big of a deal for your family? What's wrong with letting my grandson play with it?"
How infuriating that was! Fu Man'er blinked and suddenly shouted, "This isn't a fake! It's a piece of jade that Lord Song gave to my family. It's worth so much money!"
When the Xu family moved, Song Kangcheng did send his butler to deliver a gift, but no one knew what it was; all they knew was that it was a wooden box.
Grandma Liu looked at Wu Xiaohua, who nodded. She was there at the time, and everyone wanted to see what was being given, but the Xu family accepted the box and put it inside.
Could it really be this jade? Old Mrs. Liu wondered to herself, which explained the Xu family's strong reaction.
Xu Genshan exchanged a glance with his daughter and said, "If Lord Song knew that the jade he sent out was said to be fake, I wonder if Lord Song would be angry."
Fu Man'er chimed in, "They'll get angry. When they're angry, they'll drag people into jail and spank them until their bottoms are raw and bleeding."

Ouch! As Fu Man'er spoke, Old Lady Liu tightened her buttocks as if the paddle was really about to strike her.
"Then, then it's true, it's true. Let our Fu'er play with it for a while, and we'll give it back to you in a few days." Seeing her grandson clinging to her tightly, Old Lady Liu mustered her courage and spoke up.
"This jade needs to be nurtured. If it's damaged, not only you, but even our Xu family couldn't afford to pay for it even if we went bankrupt," Xu Genshan's cool voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaohua immediately told her son to take out the jade. Liu Fu naturally didn't want to, and just as he was getting angry, he saw Fu Man'er with her chin slightly raised, which made him even more furious.
In his rage, he did something that made Old Lady Liu and Wu Xiaohua extremely regretful.
