The man was visibly disappointed. He took two steps back and walked to the sick old man to take care of him.
The room fell silent for a moment.
The little girl was still huddled in the corner shyly, glancing at Fang Chenyu and the others from time to time.
Fang Chenyu also looked at her curiously. When their eyes met, the little girl immediately turned to the wall again.
Finally, Li Yu couldn't help but ask, "May I ask your name?"
"Oh." The man raised his head and pointed at himself first, "My name is Zhou Fugui."
Then he pointed at the little girl and the old man and said, "This is my daughter, Maodan. This is my father..."
Fang Chenyu laughed: "Maodan, what a stupid name?"
The little girl's mouth flattened, the curiosity in her eyes turned into loss, and her head lowered deeply against the wall.
Zhou Fugui didn't care. He touched his head and smiled: "It's like this here. It's easy to live with a humble name."
Li Yu asked: "So what do we need to do here?"
Zhou Fugui said, "The nobleman who came before has told me that you two young masters should stay with me for a while, eat and sleep with us, and go to the fields with me during the day."
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. Just don't run around and do whatever you want."
"By the way, the nobleman has prepared two sets of clothes for you to change and bedding for sleeping at night, but the nobleman has instructed you to wash your own clothes and bedding, and we cannot interfere."
Fang Chenyu said aggrievedly: "How much money did my father give you to let us live here?"
Zhou Fugui showed a trace of shyness on his face, and said a little embarrassedly: "After the two gentlemen left, the noble said that he would give five taels of silver."
"Five taels of silver? The two of us are only worth five taels of silver... I'll just kill him." Fang Chenyu muttered quietly, then raised his head and said, "I need to go to the bathroom, where is the toilet?"
Zhou Fugui was stunned for a moment, pointed outside the door and said, "You can go outside."
Fang Chenyu's face immediately turned red: "How can I relieve myself outside? No! I need to go to the toilet."
Zhou Fugui looked embarrassed and stood up and walked to the outer room.
Not long after, he came back with a wooden barrel in his hand, pointed at the barrel and said, "Sir, you can use this barrel if you want, but it's for when you get up at night..."
Looking at the dirty and mottled bucket that seemed to emit a dark purple evil aura, Fang Chenyu and Li Yu both felt horrified.
The thatched hut at Yucai Primary School was luxurious.
There are clean white toilets in there, and now asking them to use this thing...that's simply fatal!
Fang Chenyu's face turned pale and he shook his head frantically: "It's inconvenient for me... It's inconvenient for me..."
He turned around and whispered to Li Yu anxiously, "Old Li, I can't poop... This is not a place for people to stay!"
Li Yu was at a loss and said bitterly: "I can't pull it out either..."
While the two were talking in low voices, Zhou Fugui had already carried out the wooden barrel for convenience.
When I returned again, the house fell silent again.
No one spoke for more than an hour.
Maodan had gotten rid of his nervousness. He lay on the wooden table in the corner of the room, facing a torn notebook with its corner rolled up, and used a branch to carefully draw on it.
Fang Chenyu and Li Yu looked out the window from time to time, feeling a little anxious.
He wasn't in a hurry to go home, it was because his pocket watch was confiscated.
I don’t know what time it is now, so I usually wear a pocket watch so I can check the time at any time.
I didn’t feel anything before, but now I can only calculate the time by looking at the sky, and I feel so uncomfortable.
Seeing that it was beginning to get dark, the man got up and went to the outer room to do some work on his own.
The stove was outside, and the man was tinkering with something, making some clanging sounds.
Li Yu and Fang Chenyu didn't know what to do, so they just sat side by side.
Fang Chenyu frowned and said, "Old Li, we won't sleep together with them at night, right? I sleep in my own bed."
"Me too...but it seems like there's nothing we can do now." Li Yu didn't know what to do.
Fang Chenyu complained to himself, "I should have known better than to go out and earn money, and let him bear the debt all by himself! Now look what happens, after I helped him pay off his debt, he still wants to torture me? When I get back, I'm going to tell my grandfather that he abused me!"
"No way! My father would beat us both to death if he knew." Li Yu hurriedly stopped him.
After he said this, Fang Chenyu immediately shut up.
I didn’t feel anything about it before, but after being beaten up by my uncle, I realized that he was a truly ruthless person.
The beating was so painful that it almost made him pee.
I thought I would have to rest for a few days, but the pain went away the next day!
If he gets beaten again for complaining, it doesn't seem to be a problem to beat him for a few days in a row.
"Lao Li, I'm thirsty..."
"Here's some water, would you like some?" Li Yu picked up the bowl of water that had been lying beside him.
Fang Chenyu looked at the bowl of water, took a few deep breaths, and finally couldn't resist the thirst and closed his eyes and took a big gulp.
But as soon as the water entered his mouth, he spat it out immediately.
"Tui! Why does it smell fishy?!" Fang Chenyu complained loudly, "I want to drink honey water!"
His shout startled the cat in the corner.
Like a frightened deer, he immediately stood up, twisted his little hands, leaned against the wall, and looked at Fang Chenyu cautiously.
Fang Chenyu was amused when he saw this, and whispered, "This is great, isn't this a ready-made maid? Why do we have no female students in our school?"
"We just got here, so don't be too presumptuous." Li Yu reminded.
"It's okay. I can't beat the big one, but I still don't understand this little one." Fang Chenyu smiled, waved his hand towards the corner, and said with full energy, "Maodan! Go wash the bowl for me and change it to a bowl of honey water. I always drink sweet water at home. This one has no taste!"
