After being hit several times with bamboo sticks, Fu Man'er looked listless and leaned against Xu Genshan's chest, unwilling to move at all.
Xu Mao and the others tried various ways to make her laugh, but the little girl didn't seem to care. Finally, Xu Yi reached out his hand to her, and only then did Fu Man'er agree to come out of Xu Genshan's arms.
“Brother.” Fu Man’er’s voice was still a little hoarse, and her two red eyes looked at Xu Yi, as if tears were about to fall at any moment.
Xu Yi carried her to a stool and sat down. Before Fu Man'er could shed tears, he peeled a piece of candy and put it in her mouth.

The sweet taste spread in her mouth, and Fu Man'er indeed forgot to cry. "It's so delicious," she mumbled.
Xu Yi used his fingertips to wipe away the tears that had welled up in her eyes, and then took her two small hands. To be honest, this kind of beating was nothing compared to the boys in the Xu family.
But when it came to Fu Man'er, he couldn't help but feel heartache. The little girl's hands were too delicate; it would probably take several days to heal.
Liu Fang went inside to get the medicine and brought over a basin of hot water. "Mother," Fu Man'er called softly. Because she had candy in her mouth, her voice didn't sound as soft and sweet as before.
"Is your birth mother angry?" Liu Fang was taken aback.
"No, no." Fu Man'er shook her head like a rattle drum. Because she was so eager to speak, her mouth opened, and Liu Fang saw the candy in her mouth.
Fu Man'er instinctively tried to cover her mouth with her hands again. "Oh, that hurts." Just as Liu Fang was about to reach out, Xu Yi was one step ahead of her and held Fu Man'er's two little hands firmly in place.
Looking at the hand outstretched in front of her, Liu Fang couldn't help but regret it. She had clearly controlled her strength, but she still hit too hard.
"Man'er, bear with it, Mother will help you apply the medicine." Liu Fang wrung out the handkerchief and gently wiped Fu Man'er's hands.
The children in the family often got spanked when they were naughty, but only Fuman'er got to enjoy such treatment. In no time, a cool ointment was applied to her two little hands.

"Ah, that feels so good." The burning sensation in my palm was instantly replaced by the cooling sensation of the ointment.
Liu Fang applied the ointment very carefully and gently, without hurting Fu Man'er at all. "Just leave her hand out like this, Yi'er, keep an eye on her."
"Brother." After Liu Fang left, Fu Man'er rubbed her head against Xu Yi's chest, making a mess of the few strands of hair on her forehead.
"Hmm?" Xu Yi replied.
"Brother, did I do something wrong?" Fu Man'er looked up at Xu Yi with a helpless expression.
Xu Yi was taken aback, not expecting that Fu Man'er still remembered this matter. In fact, he didn't think Fu Man'er had done anything wrong. If it were him, he would have beaten Li Qing without hesitation.
Since you can't control your own mouth, don't blame others for doing it for you.
However, he is already a grown-up and can understand why his mother wanted to spank him today.
Although Man'er is small, she is incredibly strong. She doesn't know that sometimes she can accidentally injure or even kill someone, which is not the outcome the Xu family wants to see.
"You should learn from Grandpa Hu more in the future. There are some places where you can't hit someone, but there are other places where you can, understand?"

Xu Yi didn't tell her right or wrong; many things don't have a clear right or wrong distinction.
"Yes, I'll go learn martial arts from Grandpa Hu tomorrow." Among these children, Fu Man'er is the laziest, so it's really not easy for her to take the initiative to say that she wants to learn.
Xu Yi glanced at her. "Why don't you take a break for a few days? Doesn't your hand hurt anymore?" She was just whimpering in his ear, complaining of the pain.
"Oh!" Fu Man'er exclaimed, "I can't hold chopsticks anymore, brother. What a pity! I can't eat with chopsticks anymore."
It was supposed to be a regrettable thing, but Fu Man'er smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish.
Xu Yi rubbed his forehead helplessly. He had finally managed to teach her how to use chopsticks these past few days, but now, after a few days of rest, he would have to start all over again.
"Hehe, that's great, I don't need chopsticks anymore." Fu Man'er was still happily holding up her two injured little hands. Xu Yi was speechless. He really couldn't understand how someone who could write could not use chopsticks well.
Now that her hand is injured, let alone holding chopsticks, Xu Genshan won't let her hold the bowl when she eats. Instead, he carries her to his side and feeds her directly.
In the past few days, Fu Man'er has truly experienced what it means to be waited on hand and foot.
Also, because of the pain in my hand, I hadn't been able to go out and have fun for several days. Just when it was getting a little better, the village was hit by a torrential downpour.

The once dry road was now full of potholes after the rain, and the Xu family's old house also started to leak because of the heavy rain.
"Grandma, my parents' room is leaking!" Fu Man'er shouted as she looked at the strings of dripping water.
Grandma Xu trotted in with a bucket, exclaiming, "Oh dear, how come it's leaking so badly?" When she saw that the bed was soaked, she quickly pulled back the blankets and used the bucket to catch the rainwater.
In previous years, the Xu family would have done a major repair on the roof, but this year, because they were moving to a new house, they only repaired the loose parts.
But the wind was too strong today, and many tiles on the roof were blown off, especially in the house where Xu Genshan and the others were staying. When Fu Man'er looked up, she could even see the dark sky outside through the small holes.
They used all the buckets and basins in the house, and finally caught all the leaking rain. Grandma Xu wiped the sweat from her face and said, "The rain came quickly and went quickly. It should stop soon."
The harvest is almost here, and if it rains every day, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Fu Man'er leaned against the door frame, looking at the small, uneven puddles in the yard. "It won't be quick, it'll take a whole day and night."
Grandma Xu's heart skipped a beat. "Man'er, tell me, the rain will stop soon."
"Hmm?" Fu Man'er looked at her in confusion.

"Tell me quickly," Grandma Xu said, looking very excited.
Although Fu Man'er didn't understand, she still said it, "The rain will stop soon."
Following Fu Man'er's example, Old Mrs. Xu leaned against the door frame, staring intently at the rain. After a while, she noticed that the rain not only didn't stop, but actually got heavier.
"Why isn't this rain going to stop?" Old Mrs. Xu's voice sounded somewhat disappointed and puzzled.
"It'll rain for a whole day and night before it stops." Fu Man'er's little face was puffed up, and she looked very sad. She couldn't go out to play again today.
Grandma Xu didn't believe it. She even felt that the sky in the distance was slowly brightening, and that the rain should stop soon.
"Sister Lu Sheng!" Fu Man'er was in a daze when she saw a familiar voice walking by the door, and she quickly called out.
Hearing the shout, Lu Sheng stopped and turned around. He saw Fu Man'er about to run out, but she walked in first.
She was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat. The raincoat was so big that it completely covered her, and Old Mrs. Xu didn't recognize her at all.
I don't know how Fu Man'er knew about Lu Sheng, whose figure I couldn't even tell.
"Come in quickly." The rain outside was too heavy, so Grandma Xu beckoned to her to come under the eaves.
Lu Sheng stopped at the bottom of the steps; if she went up, she would surely drip water all over the ground.
"Sister Lusheng, it's raining so hard, where are you going?" Fu Man'er looked at her with concern, her gaze falling on the bamboo basket tied around Lusheng's waist.
"I'm afraid the rain will damage all the medicinal herbs, so I'll go and pick some first." Lu Sheng was unusually gentle when facing Fu Man'er.
"No, the rain is so heavy, it's going to last a long time." Fu Man'er reached out and grabbed Lu Sheng's raincoat; the rain was so heavy it hurt.
"Yes, Lusheng, don't go, go home quickly." When Grandma Xu heard that she was going to collect herbs, she quickly advised her.
Lu Sheng took his hand out from under the raincoat, held Fu Man'er's little hand and looked at it; the redness and swelling on it had subsided.
“It’s just ahead on the road, not far. I’ll finish picking soon.” Lu Sheng insisted, and only after his figure disappeared into the rain did Grandma Xu mutter something.
"Lu Sheng's mother is really something, not caring about her child in such heavy rain."
What she didn't know was that on such a rainy day, Lu Sheng would rather brave the downpour to go out and collect herbs than stay in that so-called home.
