Lan Luochen almost sneered out loud, but forced himself to swallow it back. He couldn't catch his breath and kept coughing.

"impossible."

Although Hu Sanniang was a girl and had some connections, she couldn't explain this matter clearly. She had no reputation to lose and would have no business in the future. She took two steps forward and grabbed Lan Wangshu's clothes.

Seeing that they had a chance to take action, the women in the village hurriedly stopped the man. During the struggle, two taels of silver fell from Hu Sanniang's waist.

Everyone was silent for a moment. This was a definite case of the thief crying "stop thief". Someone happened to come to collect herbs and watch the fun. He took the small scale from the pharmacy and measured it. It was exactly two taels, no more, no less.

Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Hu Sanniang. They were all angry. Wasn't this just bullying to their village?

There are always some in-laws between villages. I don’t know how many villages this news will spread to all of a sudden.

"Since the truth has come out, we won't pursue it. It's better for mother-in-law to leave early and do some legal business in the future."

Hu Sanniang gritted her teeth and looked at Lan Wangshu viciously for a while. She understood what he said and warned her that a little girl could not cause any trouble. She would wait until the storm was over and then come back to teach her a lesson.

Hu Sanniang grinned and left in a hurry.

"Thank you all uncles, aunts, grandpa and grandma. If you weren't here, we wouldn't know what to do. We don't know who spread the news. It's so irresponsible."

Lan Wangshu gently took Lan Luochen's hand, bowed to thank the villagers, and by the way, pointed out that the person who brought the message was not a good person. If he had traveled through time a little later, she would not have been able to save him.

"Good children, don't be afraid. It's pitiful. Who is so wicked that these children are being targeted? Haven't you eaten yet? Auntie dug some wild vegetables for you to take first."

A short woman with a kind face came over.

Lan Wangshu didn't know who this was, nor did he know how to refuse the other party's kindness.

"No, no, thank you Aunt Liu. Wangyan and Wangyu went to dig wild vegetables. We have food to eat."

"Okay, let's all go. The child is frightened, so everyone should go about their business..."

The village chief still seemed to be hesitant to talk. He had always liked Lan Luochen, and today Lan Wangshu also made him look at him with new eyes. Such a good child was not liked by his grandparents, and life was hard without his parents.

He had already guessed in his heart that it must be the Lan family's fault, but it was hard to say without evidence. He couldn't help but feel disgusted with those who destroyed the unity of the village, and he liked these sensible and polite children no matter how he looked at them.

"If you encounter problems that you can't solve in the future, remember to come to Grandpa."

The two of them nodded obediently, revealing the same admiring eyes, which made the village chief very happy, and he walked away with his head held high.

After watching the village chief leave, Lan Wangshu turned around and stared at the shabby and small thatched hut in front of her in a daze. This was too difficult for her.

"What are you looking at?"

Lan Luochen had a stern face and was cold, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"The village chief is very nice, and the villagers are nice too, but I'm not feeling well right now. Which one is my room?"

"Tsk~ You think you are some rich lady with your own room."

The little person walked into the house first. As soon as he entered, he saw the main room, the kitchen to the west, and the bedroom to the east.

Lan Luochen pointed to the curtain hanging above the wooden bed and told her to sleep on the outside.

Lan Wangshu sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at the roof, then at the uneven and cracked wall, and sighed deeply, "This place is too poor. Even the mice that come here have to hold back their tears and leave some rice before leaving."

"Tell me about it. What are the situations of your family members? Where does your income come from?"

After waiting for a long time, Lan Luochen didn't say anything. Lan Wangshu turned his head and met the other party's thoughtful eyes, as if he had seen through everything.

"You are not Lan Wangshu."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lan Wangshu looked as calm as an old dog, but his heart skipped a beat and he screamed wildly, "No way, no way, is it exposed so soon? This shouldn't be the case. Don't they all suffer from amnesia in TV dramas? Isn't this unreasonable? I won't be burned to death, will I?

"Lan Wangshu doesn't have this brain when he's awake. I don't believe that he will become smart after losing his memory. You must be a monster in the mountain. There really is a mountain god. I made a wish to let you grow some brains, and your wish will come true."

Lan Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief with a smile. He was indeed no different from those little kids today who believe that Ultraman can save the world. He was still at an age where he was easily deceived.

She looked at Lan Luochen carefully. This kid was quite good-looking, with big, watery eyes, but his face was pale. If she took good care of him, he would be good-looking.

"I don't care who you are, as long as you treat us well. If you are still like my sister before, I will let the mountain god take you back."

"Oh, I'm so scared!"

Lan Wangshu pinched his throat and shrank to the side, his face clearly showing indifference, leaving Lan Luochen alone with a puffy face, sulking.

After playing with the child for a while, Lan Wangshu straightened his face and started talking about business. The two chatted for a long time before they understood the general situation of this family.

The original owner's father was a guard working for a nobleman. For some reason, he returned to his hometown and used the money to build a brick and tile house for the Lan family, which was one of the most prosperous houses in the village.

Later, he married a second wife, who gave birth to twins. However, she suffered severe bleeding during childbirth and died, leaving the man to support four children. Later, the man also disappeared when he went up the mountain to hunt.

Not long after, the Lan family could not bear it anymore and separated their family and gave them the small thatched house. Everyone looked down on the Lan family's behavior, but there was nothing they could do, after all, it was someone else's family affair. The land they were allocated was rented out by the village chief, so that the children could have some income. With the sympathy of the villagers, they grew up safely. It can be said that they grew up eating at hundreds of homes.

Lan Wangshu is 14 years old this year, Lan Luochen is 11 years old, and the twins Lan Wangyan and Lan Wangyu are only 8 years old this year.

She nodded silently. Without adults, she had no one to rely on, but she would also be freer. When she reached the age of 15 and was established as a woman, she would have a foothold in this era.

At this time, two little boys ran in hand in hand, carrying baskets on their backs and threw themselves beside her legs.

"Sister, we dug up a lot of wild vegetables today, and the village chief also gave us some rice and three eggs."

Lan Wangshu looked at the two people in surprise. They had exactly the same face, but their temperaments seemed completely different. Lan Wangyan was talkative, while Lan Wangyu was relatively quiet.

She also felt hungry, so she pinched their faces, got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Lan Luochen looked at them with some disdain. When he left, he told his two younger brothers that men and women should not be intimate with each other, and that he had never been close to her.

The twins thought for a while and felt that what their second brother said made a lot of sense. They solemnly stated that they would keep their distance from their sister in the future.
