"Huh? So many cities?" Fang Cheng was indeed confused.
The other two, one big and one small, were completely baffled.
"Alright, just remember that we're going to the capital."
She didn't know if her father was still alive, but she was definitely still at her maternal grandmother's house.
"Okay, I got it. We're going to the capital!" Fang Cheng nodded.
"Yes, I'll go to the capital. I've got it!" The silly mother nodded as well.
“Let’s go to the capital!” Even the youngest, Fang Yi, nodded in reply.
Although he didn't know what it meant.
After receiving answers from the three people, Fang Yuan finally left the house.
I went downstairs for a walk and bought three servings of wontons from the shopkeeper.
After carrying the tray upstairs, she also took out three candied hawthorns.
Wow, candied hawthorn berries!
Fang Yi was overjoyed to see the big, red candied hawthorn in Fang Yuan's hand.
He hadn't eaten candied hawthorn in a long time.
"·····"
Fang Cheng also saw the candied hawthorns. Although she was very happy, the little girl was more reserved than her brother and did not shout out.
"Alright, let's eat first. After we finish eating, each of us will get a candied hawthorn."
Fang Yuan placed the wontons in her hand on the table.
"This is chaos?" Fang Cheng's eyes widened.
She was so happy to have wontons and candied hawthorns to eat today.
Wow, is this delicious?
Fang Yi, who had never eaten wontons before, looked curiously at the contents of the bowl and asked.
"It's delicious, even better than steamed buns," Fang Cheng said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright, you guys eat first, and then rest inside. I have something to do outside. Second sister, look after Mother and brother," Fang Yuan instructed Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng is already nine years old; she became sensible a couple of years ago.
When the original owner of this body went out hunting, Fang Cheng would stay at home to look after her younger brother and mother.
"Yes, I understand, eldest sister." Fang Cheng nodded.
"Yes! Mother knows too!" Mother obediently replied.
However, her eyes were fixed on the wontons and candied hawthorns.
“I’m the best behaved, I won’t run around!” Little Fang Yi nodded.
Fang Yi, who was obediently nodding, kept glancing at the candied hawthorn.
Fang Yuan then left the house, satisfied.
With good food, all three of them behave very well, which makes them easy to take care of.
After leaving the restaurant, Fang Yuan headed straight for the carriage and horse shop.
She wants to buy a carriage, or rent one if she wants.
It's too far from the capital here; it would take months to get there on foot.
Fortunately, their town was a post station, and the county seat it belonged to was a necessary route to the border.
So although the town is not big, it has carriage and horse shops and post stations.
There have been many caravans passing by.
Fang Yuan was quite lucky; she had both a horse-drawn carriage and a mule cart, but considering their current status, she ended up buying a donkey cart.
The covered cart and the strong young donkey cost her a total of eight taels of silver.
She found a lot of money at the Li family's house, so she didn't feel too bad about buying the donkey cart.
She even bought a large bag of fine feed and put it in the car.
They also found a coachman from a carriage company and gave him twenty coins to teach her how to drive.
After learning how to do it, he drove the carriage back to the restaurant.
In Lijia Village, Fang Hongmei knelt before the village chief, crying her heart out.
There were also many villagers watching the spectacle.
"Oh God, what deity have we offended? Why are we being treated like this? Waaah~~"
Fang Hongmei wrapped her head in a piece of gray cloth she had picked up from somewhere, and cried even more miserably than if her father had died.
When she woke up, she found that not only had her head been shaved by a ghost, but her house had also been completely emptied, leaving not even a stool behind.
Not only that, the two children also inexplicably appeared in other people's homes.
Her son appeared at the home of a widow named Qian, who was only a few years younger than her. Now, the widow Qian was dragging her son to the authorities.
The daughter was found at the home of a scoundrel in the Li family, and it is said that the scoundrel had already defiled her.
They even slandered her as a slut who deliberately seduced him, and threatened to drown her in a pig cage if she didn't marry him!
How is she supposed to live like this?
"What's the use of crying? It's all your fault, you wretched woman! You offended someone you shouldn't have, you're the one who deserves to die!!!"
Li Yonghe also cursed at Fang Hongmei with a look of shock and anger.
He had absolutely no idea how he woke up to find himself in complete poverty.
He even had his head shaved by ghosts, so it's impossible for him not to suspect that a ghost came to his house.
Otherwise, who has the ability to move his house completely clean?
He truly regretted listening to that wicked woman and bullying those orphans and widows; now everything was ruined!
"Mother, help me, Mother! I don't want to go into the pig cage!"
Li Wan'er, who was tied up, looked at Fang Hongmei and cried out.
She was sleeping at home last night, so why did she wake up in Li Chengqiang's bed?
Li Chengqiang is a notorious lazy bum in the village. She wouldn't even glance at him, let alone try to seduce him.
"Mother, Father, save me! I'm going to see the officials! I won't marry this widow! Save me!" Li Yuanbao was also being held captive by several villagers.
Standing beside her was the weeping widow, Qian.
"Hmph, as they say, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. What good things have you been up to lately?"
An elderly man in the village asked.
When they went to Li Yonghe's house, the door was locked, but the house was empty.
With those two inexplicably shaved heads and eyebrows, it's clear they've offended some kind of spirit.
They've been subjected to the Five Ghosts Moving Technique.
"Exactly, what good deeds have you all done? Why does God dislike you so much?"
Another villager came over and asked curiously.
Seeing the villagers watching the spectacle one by one, the village chief had no choice but to reprimand them:
"Alright, all of you shut up. How can you talk nonsense like this?"
Then he turned to look at Fang Hongmei's family:
"Li Fangshi, let me ask you, what did you do at the Fang family yesterday with Li Yuanbao?"
The village chief couldn't help but ask about Fang Yuan, who was covered in blood and pale-faced, this morning, when he thought about how Fang Yuan had been holding him this morning.
This Fang Hongmei is no human being. Her own brother died and she still dared to sell her sister-in-law? She even almost beat her niece to death.
What a heartless bastard! He deserved to be targeted by those things.
"No, we didn't do anything," Fang Hongmei shook her head, unwilling to admit it.
But she also wondered if it was her dead brother who did it last night.
"No? This morning, Fang Yuan came to me with her head covered in blood, saying she couldn't go on living and wanted to go find her father. Tell me, why can't she go on living? Why is her head covered in wounds?"
The village chief showed Fang Hongmei no respect whatsoever and continued to ask questions in front of everyone.
Fang Congshan used to be so good to this girl.
If it weren't for her brother, she would never have been able to marry into Li Yonghe's family.
Little did I expect that this girl was such an ingrate; she rushed over to harm her sister-in-law and niece not long after they left.
"I...I'm just introducing someone to my sister-in-law. She's still young; she can't stay a widow forever..."
Seeing that the village chief knew what she had done, she could only grit her teeth and explain.
"Wow! This woman is something else! No wonder her house is in this state; it's karma!"
"Exactly! Her brother treats her so well. He brings her meat every time he comes down from the mountain. How could he dare to sell his sister-in-law?"
"That woman is too cruel; I dare not associate with her much in the future..."
······
The surrounding villagers immediately started talking about her, pointing and whispering.
This woman is truly terrifying; she's a heartless and ungrateful wretch!
