Xu Xueyi, who was standing at the door, turned completely black-faced when he heard this. It was the first time he had seen Fu Man'er, just a little girl, and he hadn't given her a second glance.
"Xueyi, let me tell you, your uncle's family must have made a lot of money. That brat has gotten quite chubby. They must have bought a lot of good food. I saw several girls' clothes hanging in the yard, they must have been newly bought."
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she wanted to go inside to see if the Xu family had bought a lot of things now that they were rich, but all the other doors were tightly closed. In the only open room, Old Mrs. Xu was sitting in the middle of the door, guarding against anyone from entering.
There's nothing else to tell, except for Fu Man'er, who is somewhat different.
Xu Xueyi knew these words without them needing to be spoken. He had been watching the town for a few days and knew how many people bought that braised food; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to have Yang come to the Xu family to inquire.
I thought it would be easier to get through to Grandma Xu since she was home alone, but I didn't expect that this old woman would still be so stubborn.
"Son, are you really going to invite them over for your father's birthday in a few days?" Madam Yang hoped that her son was just joking.

Xu Xueyi glanced at her. "I said I'd bring some food today, but you wouldn't budge." He felt that his mother was just too short-sighted. Of course, he was only saying it casually, and Yang Shi didn't mention it again after saying she wouldn't bring anything.
In his heart, he probably thought the same as Yang: they came to the door and asked for it, and since they were all family, would the Xu family refuse?
"My aunt was so firm today, she definitely won't budge. Let's have Dad put in a good word for her during dinner in a few days. My uncle has always been very kind to Dad, so there's a chance this will work."
"Are you kidding me? We really want that loser to come to our house for dinner!" Mrs. Yang said reluctantly.
"Mother, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Let's treat them to a meal, and then we can get our hands on that prescription. Our family won't be able to move to town for long."
Knowing his mother's temperament, Xu Xueyi added, "The food you prepare can't be shabby. Do exactly what Dad did for his birthday before."
Yang was heartbroken, yet she still wanted to feed that impoverished man well. Wasn't that the same as drinking her blood and eating her flesh?
Enraged, Yang cursed all the way back. Before the two even reached the door, they saw a little girl playing in front of their house.
"Who are those?" Xu Xueyi asked, noticing that their figures didn't resemble his older brother's two children.
Yang glanced at her and said, "The girl from the Wang family next door is probably waiting for Lai Di and the others to play together."

As soon as the two reached the door, Wang Chunni looked up and called out softly, "Grandma Xu." She had never seen the person behind her before and didn't know what to call her.
Normally, Yang would respond, and sometimes she would say that Lai Di and the others should come out and play together. But today she was upset at the Xu family's house, and she couldn't stand anything, especially the girls who were about the same age as Fu Man'er.
"Go play over there. Lai Di and Pan Di are busy and don't have time to play with you." Madam Yang glanced at her, then opened the door and went inside. As soon as Xu Xueyi went in, she immediately closed the door.
Just like when Fu Man'er closed the door, it seemed like only by doing so could she feel a little better.
Wang Chunni's smile froze on her face. If you don't want to play, then don't play. It's like nobody cares if you want to play here.
She got up and ran home. She had been playing with Zhao Di and the others for the past few days. Although she hadn't gone inside the Xu family's house, she had at least seen the general area of the yard from the outside.
It's not the same as the one in her dream at all. Don't be fooled by how nice the Xu family's courtyard looks from the outside; the inside is actually nothing special, just like any other family's courtyard.
"Chunnier, I asked you to watch your little brother, why did you run off to play again?" Niu Daya came out of the kitchen and saw her son playing alone in the yard, so she couldn't help but call out again.
Wang Chunni disliked her younger brother at all; he was always crying and making a fuss. "I told you to kick Zhaodi out, now you know no one will help you take care of the child, right?"
Niu Daya felt that her daughter was becoming more and more disobedient. "Hey, I'm telling you, you're not human! Da Cai isn't your brother, is he? You don't do anything. Let me show you what your brother is like."

"Hmph, Grandma said that next time we go to Auntie's house, she'll take me with her, but Da Cai isn't allowed to come with us." It would be so annoying if we went.
"Your grandma, your grandma, you only remember what your grandma said all day long, and I, as her mother, don't listen to her." The mother-in-law doted on Wang Chunni very much, treating her like her own granddaughter whenever she had something to eat, and sometimes even secretly giving her granddaughter some food.
"Mom, you took the money Grandma hid at home, and Grandma is still angry with you." Wang Chunni glanced at Wang Dacai crawling around on the ground.
These words made Niu Daya, the mother, lose face. After explaining to her mother-in-law, she promised to buy her a gold-plated coffin. The old lady was not happy at all; instead, she got so angry that she picked up a broom and started hitting her. Wang Sanbao came to stop her but was also beaten up.
Niu Daya thought her mother-in-law was short-sighted. She thought that once the Wang family got on the right track, they would still need a little something extra. But so much time had passed, and there was no sign of good fortune at all.
No, she'll go to town tomorrow to ask that chosen master again when her good fortune will arrive; she can't wait any longer.
"Mom, what's that smell?" Wang Chunni sniffed; a burnt smell wafted through the yard.
"Oh dear!" Niu Daya suddenly remembered that she still had vegetables cooking in the pot. What a disaster! A perfectly good pot of food was burned. Her mother-in-law would definitely scold her when she came back.
