Fu Bao looked at the hazelnuts on the ground and said, "Don't give him random food in the future."

The old lady had never expected that the hazelnut she had given would be the one that choked her grandson's throat. Now her face was turning green and red, and she said to the woman next to her: "How can you be a mother? You don't even watch your child eat."

Then he said to the middle-aged man, "Dashan, you don't care about your wife. She is just like a lazy guy all day long. Something bad can happen to the child right under your nose."

Fubao then realized that the woman who boiled water was not the eldest daughter-in-law. She guessed that it must be Erya's mother.

The eldest daughter-in-law was not afraid of her mother-in-law's attack at all. She stood up and said, "I gave birth to three boys for your Duan family. What a great contribution! Now that I'm saying this, I will take the children back to my parents' home tomorrow."

The old lady was silent immediately. The man called Dashan was also very angry as Li Shuangrong and his family were still present, "Why are you always looking for trouble? Didn't you give the child food? You are blaming Zhang and Li here. This is all your fault!"

The old lady collapsed on the ground crying and shouting, "Oh, God, I gave birth to two sons! And you treat me like this, your own mother! You really forgot your mother after marrying a wife. Why am I not dead yet? People are hoping I will die!"

The whole family watched her throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground with cold eyes. They were no longer surprised by this.

The dull man behind took two steps at a time and strode forward, helped the old lady up, and silently sent her back to the inner room.

Li Shuangrong sat there awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Dashan, on the other hand, did not feel embarrassed at all. He thanked Li Shuangrong, "It's all thanks to you guys today. You saved my eldest son's life!"

Li Shuangrong: "You are too kind."

Dashan immediately acted as if to say, "Don't you believe me?" "Our neighbor's little grandson got his throat choked while eating, and he couldn't be saved..."

Da Zhuang was also held tightly in his mother's arms: "Hey, let me see if you are still in pain."

Fubao listened to their conversation and learned that the family's surname was Duan. They lived outside because they were building a new house, so they moved here temporarily.

Fubao came forward and asked, "Grandpa Duan, how far is this place from the village?"

Old Master Duan said while smoking his pipe, "It's not far, maybe two miles."

Fubao nodded: "I see there aren't many rooms here, and it probably won't be enough for the three of us. When the rain stops, we want to go to the village to stay overnight."

In this season, it rains heavily for several days in a row, and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk on. It is best to wait until the weather is clear and the soil on the road is drier before setting off.

Old Master Duan did not stop them. Dashan, who was standing next to them, immediately said anxiously, "Oh, it's raining so hard that it won't stop for a while. Besides, there aren't many empty houses in the village for you to stay in. You should just stay at my house. It will be more lively with more people."

After saying that, he looked at Li Shuangrong next to him and said, "Isn't that right, Brother Li? Oh, I feel like I've known you since I met you. I still have a lot to say to you. Just stay at home."

Fu Bao looked at the sky outside and nodded: "Sorry to bother you then."

Dashan immediately smiled, and the flesh on his face was deformed by laughter: "Don't disturb me, don't disturb me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at his wife, who immediately stood up and said to Erya's mother in a bossy tone, "Go and clean up your room."

Erya's mother hurriedly got up and went into the house to clean up. After a while, Erya asked in confusion, "Then where should I live with my parents?"

The woman said impatiently, "This hall is so big, can't it accommodate the three of you?"

Fubao immediately said, "No, no, we can just live in the living room."

The woman said directly: "Farmers are thick-skinned and it's okay for them to sleep on the ground for a day or two. At least there is a kang in the room, so you can sleep more comfortably."

If Duan Dashan hadn't wanted to keep the person, and Li Shuangrong had just saved Dazhuang's life, she wouldn't have meddled in other people's business.

Erya and her family were kicked out of the room, leaving only two thin quilts on the floor and nothing else.

Erya secretly pulled Fubao's sleeve when no one was paying attention: "I don't want to sleep on the floor."

Fu Bao touched her dry yellow hair and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you sleep on the floor."

Erya stayed beside her for a long time without moving. After a long time, she smiled and nodded, then ran to the corner to sift the beans.

It was already noon when Li Shuangrong and Zhao Xiuer changed into dry clothes.

The Duan family valued them very much, and not only cooked three vegetarian dishes, but also added a stewed chicken dish. The children stared at it with their eyes wide open, and kept clamoring for food.

Old Mrs. Duan was so angry that she sat in the kitchen and threw things around. She was upset that she had one less chicken for laying eggs and her meat would have to go into other people's stomachs.

Daya and Erya followed their mother in the car. At the small table below, there were only two vegetarian dishes left on the plate, mixed in a bowl.

Duan Dashan took out his homemade rice wine and poured a glass for Li Shuangrong and Zhao Xiuer. "This may not be as good as what you had before, but it's all homemade, so it's not bad. Try it."

Li Shuangrong hurriedly thanked him.

After the meal started, Fubao tasted a few bites of the dishes and then put down his chopsticks. Perhaps he was reluctant to add too much oil and salt, so he couldn't taste the flavor.

But Daya and Erya below were already glued to it with their eyes full of envy.

Fubao took the bowl, picked up a few pieces of meat for them, and handed it to Erya. Her eyes were sparkling, and before she could react, the bowl had been taken away by Daya.

After taking a look at Fubao's expression, he gave two pieces to Erya and the rest went into her stomach.

Erya held the bowl, and after she realized what was happening, she smiled happily, passed a piece of meat to her mother, and then put the last piece into her mouth.

After the meal, Duan Dashan was drunk and started to talk without restraint: "Brother Li, this carriage of yours must have cost a lot of money."

Li Shuangrong: “Not bad.”

He went on, "Our family's situation is definitely not comparable to yours in Yuzhou. We have to budget carefully even for food. Not to mention, we saved money for half a lifetime to build a house, but in the end it was all gone."

Li Shuangrong didn't respond, Duan Dashan got a little anxious and asked, "How much money do you usually pay to stay at an inn?"

Mr. Duan scolded, “Dashan!”

Duan Dashan: "I just asked, I didn't say anything."

Li Shuangrong took out a tael of silver from his pocket and put it on the table: "We came in without permission and disturbed you. This is a small token of your appreciation."

Duan Dashan curled his lips. This was far from what he thought. How could he not pay three taels for these clothes?

But it's better to have something than nothing. Seeing him casually give her a few, the mountain wife's eyes lit up immediately: "Oh, you are too polite."

As he said that, he poked Duan Dashan on the back and asked him to put it away.
