At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Erya's mother was stunned by these words, and then she said hesitantly: "I'm your mother, why are you talking to me like this?"

Fu Bao: "You still know that you are her mother, watching her being bullied and doing nothing, what else can you do except blaming the child?"

Erya lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Her mother had tears in her eyes and lowered her head without saying a word.

The second son of the Duan family was sitting outside under the eaves drinking tea with Li Shuangrong. When he heard the noise inside, he hurried over and said, "It's all because of my uselessness that people bullied them."

Erya's mother turned her head away and cried silently.

Zhao Xiuer came out and said, "Come in and tell me what you want to say. Let's see if we can help you."

Several people all went into the inner room. After a moment of silence, Erya asked, "Why did uncle bully us? You didn't say anything."

Duan Laoer looked at his ignorant daughter, with a flash of pain in his eyes: "Dad is useless, he has no land, and he can't find a job, so he can't support the family. He can only live on the little money your uncle gave him."

Fu Bao frowned and said, "Although the conditions here seem average, it's not far from Jiangzhou and the town. How come we can't find a place to work?"

Duan Lao Er lowered his head, as if there was something he couldn't say.

Erya's mother wiped away her tears and said, "There's nothing to be said. It's not our fault."

Duan Lao Er raised his head after hearing this: "I'm in jail, and no one dares to want me."

Erya's thoughts were still on his words "the money in the family was given by my uncle", and she couldn't believe it: "How could my uncle give money to our family?" In her eyes, my uncle was not only a stingy person, but also very mean to her family. How could such a person be willing to give money to them?

Seeing that Duan Laoer was still not getting to the point, Erya's mother said anxiously, "He didn't commit any crime, but he took the blame for his elder brother, and that's why he's in jail."

Erya was surprised and asked, "When did Dad go to jail? How come I didn't know anything about it?"

Fubao then felt that things were not as she had thought, and that this family might really be unable to resist.

Duan Laoer: "My eldest brother worked as an accountant in the city. He embezzled other people's money to gamble. He was discovered and asked me to take the blame."

Fubao: "Then why did you agree?"

Duan Laoer said, "The fields were suffering from a severe drought and there was no harvest. I had just been brought to the store by him and was still a clerk, earning little. My parents, wife and daughter at home would not be able to survive if they relied on my wages."

Fu Bao: "So after your family discussed it, they let you go out and take the blame?"

The dull man nodded, his eyes full of pain: "My eldest brother said that if I go to take the blame for him, he will take good care of my wife and daughter. That's why I..."

Fu Bao: "Don't you know what kind of person he is? How can you trust him so much?"

The man's eyes were red. "But I can't even feed them. At least if I go, they won't have to worry about food and drink. Even if they suffer a little injustice, it's enough as long as they can survive. Their parents won't be too sad."

Fubao thought of the old lady who was throwing tantrums and the taciturn old man. He sighed and said, "What about you after you come back?"

Duan Lao Er: "I was in prison for three years. I was released only when the emperor's eldest son was born and the country was pardoned. But after I was released, no one dared to hire me. They all said that I had dirty hands."

Erya's mother burst into tears: "I am not afraid of having to eat coarse food if I follow you, but if I follow them, they don't even treat me and Erya as human beings. You have suffered so much..."

Arya: "I was right, uncle is a big bad guy! He dares to do it but not take the responsibility!"

Duan Laoer: "Since I came back, my eldest brother said that his mission was completed. He drove our family to this old house that no one wants."

Fubao: "Is this your house?"

Duan Laoer shook his head. "This house has never been owned. It is outside the village and has collapsed and is in a very dilapidated state. It is no longer habitable. Erya's mother and I repaired the house bit by bit. At least it has a place to shelter from the rain."

Fubao knew what happened next. The eldest wife was going to build a new house, so they demolished the old house and moved to their place temporarily. He lived like an emperor every day, bossing his family around.

Duan Laoer: "Big brother gives us 100 coins every month, and if anyone makes him unhappy, he will deduct money. The family is already in this situation, so we should just endure it for a while."

Fu Bao was so angry that he said, "How can there be such a person in the world? How shameless!"

Li Shuangrong couldn't help but frown: "A real man should be brave enough to take the blame, but he let his brother take the blame and treated his wife and daughter harshly. It's really abominable!"

Arya's mother finally had an outlet for her grievances, and she couldn't stop crying for a while: "I've been wronged for so many years, and I'm just speaking out today! I don't want Arya to be bullied, but if she resists, she will starve. It's okay for us adults to starve, but what can we do if Arya is so young?"

Duan Laoer: "We also go to pick wheat ears and dig wild vegetables, but it takes a month to pick enough to eat for a few days..."

Fubao sighed: "It's my fault that I didn't understand it clearly. It's your fault." In a situation like this, staying alive is the most important thing, and she has no right to blame them.

Arya: "I'm not afraid. I can also eat coarse food."

After hearing what she said, Erya's mother hugged the little girl and started crying: "My Erya, who used to be the smartest child, has been tortured into this state by them."

For a moment, Fubao was a little overwhelmed with comfort.

Fu Bao said straightforwardly: "Whether you want to farm or do business, I can find a way for you. I just want to ask you one question, if you have the chance to get rid of this kind of life, are you willing?"

Arya's mother said immediately, "I do! I don't want to live like this any more."

Duan Lao Er nodded: "Who wouldn't want to?"

Erya's mother said, "My mother's family used to make wine, and I can do it, so we can go make wine and sell it. Selling tea is also OK, I used to sell tea by the official road."

Fubao looked at her cheerful face and felt relieved. As long as he could have such a heart, it was good.

Duan Laoer: "Actually, it would be nice to have a piece of land where I can grow food."

Erya's mother was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She immediately got angry: "Don't you know what the villagers think of our family? If you stay here, you will never be able to hold your head up high in your life!"

Duan Laoer suddenly fell silent and dared not say anything more.

Fu Bao: "No matter what you do, discuss it with me, and then tell me...my father."

Li Shuangrong nodded seriously, which added a layer of pressure to people.

It was cloudy and rainy outside, but Arya and her family were full of enthusiasm. They felt like they were dreaming to be able to escape from their nightmare-like life.
