However, the blame can only fall on the little dumpling. Could it be that Shi Lingheng was the one who made the false accusation?
Shi Lingheng has an excellent reputation in the village now. If she said that, the village chief's wife would definitely widen her eyes and say, "How could that be? Shi Lingheng is such a good person. He wouldn't do such a wasteful thing. He's just a child who doesn't know any better."
The clueless Fu Weidong: "..."
He had been listening to others' conversations while playing with them, but he never expected to overhear this. He was furious when he threw the things away, but he didn't realize that the village chief's grandmother had seen him.
Now I realize that I've been made a scapegoat for no reason.
It was clearly that devil who cut the clothes like that, but now people are misunderstanding it as me wasting them.
His little body couldn't withstand such pressure, he's so pitiful...
However, as if she knew it would be useless to complain now, this older sister was so cowardly that she actually expected him to grow up and take revenge on her own...
Hmph, what a loser.
But now, he changed his strategy. With tears welling up in his eyes, he looked incredibly cute and pitiful, and just stared at Fan Xiaofan.
Fan Xiaofan felt a sudden pang in her heart. Oh dear, such an adorable little dumpling—of course she'd give it anything it wanted, not to mention it had just been innocently blamed for such a huge mess. Look at the poor thing…
However, she still managed to look away with difficulty, determined to take the blame: "Yes, Grandma, I will tell him. He's young and doesn't understand."
Fu Weidong, representing the immature, failed in his attempt to act cute and ended up taking the blame.
The wronged look on her face froze for a moment, then immediately crumbled, turning into a haughty snort...
Fan Xiaofan coughed lightly. "Xiao Dongzi, let's take the blame for the big boss. No one would believe you anyway if you told the truth, so let's just make do. What else can we do?"
After chatting about random gossip at the village chief's house for a while, Fan Xiaofan went to the educated youth settlement to tell Shi Lingheng and Fan Yunyan that he had taken Fu Weidong back.
Fu Weidong still had to go back and complete the training tasks assigned by Shi Lingheng. He couldn't beat Shi Lingheng now, and if he didn't work harder, he would have even less hope in the future.

Back in Beidu, Fan's father received a letter from the Zhou family, and this time he was truly angry.
I just can't understand Zhou Xuehua's thought process. It turns out that the Zhou family wrote a letter about the natural disaster. Although the Zhou family wanted money, didn't Zhou Xuehua realize that her son and daughter were working in the countryside nearby...?
Not only was she not worried at all, but she even subconsciously wanted to hide this from herself.
He's not even as good as his colleagues, who at least cared about the matter and informed him when they found out his son and daughter had gone to the countryside.
This was something he couldn't tolerate. Was this something a mother should do?
To be honest, the Zhou family's letter asking for money wouldn't have made him so angry, but the underlying meaning of the matter gave Fan's father a chilling feeling.
He had never cared about the children at home. In general, the man was the breadwinner and the woman was the homemaker. He knew that Zhou Xuehua doted on Yunli, so he never thought that she would treat the child badly.
However, he seemed to have fallen into a cognitive trap. He was now beginning to doubt whether Zhou Xuehua truly doted on Fan Yunli, but what about the other children in her eyes?
He could understand the situation of the educated youth, after all, that was the current regulation, but the natural disaster meant the child was facing life or death, and she could hide it without batting an eye.
