They packed their things, weighed out a thousand catties of grain, loaded it onto the cart, and Fang Dashu and his father Fang Sanhua happened to arrive.
"Have you packed everything? Brother Da Niu, I'm here to pick you up. Don't be shy, my house is just sitting there empty anyway, so you guys can move in and help me tidy it up."
Fang Sanhua enthusiastically came over to help pull the cart.
"Thank you so much, Brother Sanhua."
"Don't be so polite with me. Your bean sprouts saved my big tree a few days ago. I've been busy with things in the fields and haven't had time to come and thank you. Today is the perfect time. Your sister-in-law has already prepared the meal. Let's have a good drink together."
"And bean sprouts, you are the lucky star of my family. Hurry up and move into my house to bring us good fortune."
Fang Sanhua really liked Douya, especially looking at Douya's clever little face, she couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.
"It's good that we've split up. If anyone bullies our Bean Sprouts again after we split up, I'll be the first to object."
Fang Qing was deeply moved by this intense kindness she experienced for the first time since coming into this world.
"Thank you, Grandpa Sanhua."
"Why are you being so polite with me, sir? Come on, let's go to my house for a delicious meal."
As she spoke, Fang Sanhua picked up Fang Qing and placed her on the cart, then pulled Fang Qing away.
Fang Daniu and Zhao Shi exchanged a glance, then followed behind carrying their things on a shoulder pole, while Fang Dashu helped carry some pots and pans.
The courtyard was quiet, but the old woman inside the house started cursing. Xiaoshuan's wife and Zhang Shi sat down beside her to comfort her.
"Alright, Auntie, don't be angry anymore. I think Brother Da Niu isn't completely without you as his mother. In a few days, when Brother Da Niu calms down, you can say a few nice words to him, and he'll do whatever you ask him to do."
Zhang nodded in agreement.
"If you ask me, you deserve what happened today. With someone as capable as Da Niu, why did you have to find Fang Guangzong to ruin Da Niu's wife? It's just a cow, Da Niu can earn it back for you in half a year."
The old woman glared at her.
"Do you think I wanted this? Eryou took all the money from the house. I was just worried, wasn't I?"
Zhang rolled her eyes inwardly.
"Now you can just stay quiet for a few days. I've figured it out. With this Bean Sprout giving Da Niu advice, your family won't have any peace and quiet. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you an idea. Then Da Niu and his wife will be at your mercy again, just like before."
"What idea?"
Zhang leaned close to the old woman's ear and whispered something. After that, the old woman's face lit up with joy.
"That's a good idea."
Hmph, she can't even handle one child?

Fang Dashu's old house is not big, with only three rooms and a small yard.
However, this is a timely help in a time of need.
Fang Daniu expressed his gratitude once again.
"Don't be so polite with me. It's getting late. Come on, let's go to my house for dinner."
Fang Daniu didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Fang Sanhua's new house is right behind, a spacious five-room brick and tile house that looks particularly impressive.
Hearing the commotion, Big Tree Mother came out of the kitchen and invited them to come inside for dinner.
The family was very welcoming to them. At the dinner table, Aunt Dashu kept putting food on Fang Qing's plate, looking at her as if she were some rare treasure, which made Fang Qing a little embarrassed.
After the meal, Fang Daniu was asked to stay for tea, while Fang Qing and Zhao Shi went home to pack their things.
After settling down here, Fang Qing felt that the Zhao family was exceptionally motivated.
Fang Qing took on the task of feeding the sheep and chickens, exchanging feed from the system store to feed them. The chickens and sheep visibly grew stronger.
Now everyone in the village knows about Fang Qing's family situation, and Fang Dashan went to Fang Qing's house that very day to comfort her.
Fang Qing was overjoyed; she didn't need any comforting.
Fang Dashan has been coming to see her almost every spare moment these past few days, even following Fang Qing when she's herding sheep and cutting grass.
That day, while they were cutting grass in front of the mountain, Da Shan suddenly started gossiping with her about village affairs.
"Fang Qing, do you know? Last night, Fang Guangzong had his leg broken at the entrance of the alley."
Da Shan suddenly said to Fang Qing.
Upon hearing this name, Fang Qing frowned in disgust.
"He deserved it; I just don't know which hero did this."
"I don't know who did it, but he deserved it. Who knows what kind of petty theft he was up to late at night."
Fang Qing suddenly remembered the voice of Xiao Dou that she had vaguely heard while she was half asleep last night.
Xiao Dou seemed to have alerted Zhao Shi'an to the fluctuation in villainous value, but she was too sleepy to pay attention at the time.
Just as Fang Qing was about to ask Xiao Dou, Da Shan suddenly called out, "Zhao Shi'an."
Fang Qing followed his gaze and saw Zhao Shi'an carrying a wild rabbit down the mountain.
Zhao Shi'an had obviously seen them as well.
Zhao Shi'an was very unhappy that Fang Qing and Da Shan were getting close.
He glanced coldly at Dashan, his gaze settling on Fang Qing. A hint of ruthlessness lingered in his eyes, and he exuded an aura beyond his years.
Fang Qing's heart skipped a beat when she saw his expression.
She didn't even need to ask Xiaodou anymore; Fang Guangzong's leg must have been broken by him.
She tentatively said "thank you".
As expected, Zhao Shi'an paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and looked away.
How did the bean sprouts know?
She wasn't afraid of him at all?
“This rabbit is still alive.” Fang Qing took the opportunity to grab his hand, looking at him with her bright eyes.
There was not a trace of fear.
Zhao Shi'an's tense heart gradually relaxed.
Fang Dashan had been keeping an eye on this rabbit.
"Did you catch this, Zhao Shi'an? You're amazing! How did you catch it? Teach me!"
