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

While Duan Laoer's family was still asleep, Fubao hurriedly took out dry firewood from the space, gathered it into a pile and placed it in a place that would not leak rain.

He pulled out a large bag of flour, a small bag of rice and some seasonings from the space, and placed them all neatly on the old wooden table next to him.

Fresh vegetables were already hard to come by at this time, but since he had already taken everything else, Fubao was no longer stingy.

Eggplants, cabbages, cucumbers, potatoes, yams and several kinds of green vegetables filled the backpack next to him.

Then he took out two pieces of pork and two chickens and placed them in the box under the wooden cabinet. Finally, he put a fish in the basin next to it.

After finishing this series of tasks, Fubao clapped his hands, supported his waist, and looked at the kitchen he had decorated: "Ah, perfect!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Erya ran out of the house. She didn't care about the mud on the ground at all, and ran all the way here barefoot. Looking at the crowded kitchen, she widened her eyes and said, "Is this our home?"

Fu Bao touched her head and said, "These are all the things in our carriage. We have already moved them all down. They are enough for us to eat for many days."

Arya: "Last night my mother was worried and asked my father to sell the two chickens to buy food. Now there is no need for that!"

Fu Bao: "Of course not. When the weather clears up, I'll let your mother go to the wine shop. Then your family won't have to worry about making a living anymore!"

Arya's slow face still had a smile on it because the kitchen was filled with food. After she realized what was happening, she became even more excited. She jumped into the rain like a little bird, running barefoot on the ground.

When Erya's mother came out to cook, she saw so much food and was so scared that she dropped the small cloth bag in her hand to the ground, and the yellow millet inside it spilled out.

After he realized what was happening, he quickly squatted on the ground and picked up all the rice.

Fubao: "These are what we brought when we came here. They are enough to last us for more than half a month."

Erya's mother nodded dully, and then hurriedly said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it right away."

Fubao: "It's up to you, Auntie. We are not picky." After saying that, he took Erya back to the house.

……

The heavy rain that had lasted for several days finally subsided. When the rain stopped, they were sitting in the hall eating lunch.

Arya suddenly pointed to the sky outside and said, "Rainbow!"

Fubao looked in the direction of her finger in confusion, and saw a colorful rainbow hanging in the sky. The rain had stopped.

Erya's mother's face suddenly turned ugly. Fubao didn't understand why, so he just said, "The rain has stopped. You can pick a time to go to the wine shop tomorrow."

Duan Laoer and his wife nodded and ate their meal in silence, a complete change from their previous cheerful appearance.

Duan Laoer: "I'll go back to the village later."

Erya's mother shuddered: "The engagement has been broken off, what are you still doing?" Then she thought of what he said before, and understood.

Fubao has been bored these days, and has been learning embroidery from Zhao Xiuer in his room every day. Several of his fingers are swollen from being pricked.

When she heard that Duan Laoer was going out in the afternoon, she, who had been holding back for a few days, suddenly became interested: "Uncle, can you take me with you?"

Duan Lao Er was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Let Erya accompany you. You'll be bored at home."

Fu Bao nodded happily and said to Li Shuangrong and Zhao Xiuer, "I'll go take a look and be back soon!"

The two men couldn't bear to refuse his excited look, and since the village was not far away, they agreed.

Fubao was actually afraid that Duan Laoer would suffer. He was not in the village for a long time, and his reputation was damaged because of the crime he took. He was not as good at talking as the eldest brother. If he went against him, he would definitely suffer.

However, Duan Laoer thought she was just bored, so he took the two children out after dinner.

The road was too muddy for the carriage to pass, so we had to walk. We played and joked along the way, and finally arrived at the village after half an hour.

As soon as he entered the village, Fubao realized what kind of life Duan Laoer had lived before.

The villagers sat together in groups of three or four, chatting and shelling beans. When they saw Duan Laoer, they immediately hid their smiles and pretended not to see.

When they were far away, Fubao heard them say behind his back: "Look at what kind of scum the Duan family has raised, stealing silver and going to jail!"

"His wife is not a good person either. The strange phenomenon that happened when they got married was a sign! He has been in jail for three years. Maybe his wife has already..."

Duan Lao Er seemed to be oblivious to the rumors behind him and walked forward without thinking. He did not stop until he reached the large courtyard of the blue brick and tile house. The courtyard had not been built yet, and the things inside were in a mess, making it almost impossible to put your feet.

The clanging sounds inside made Fubao certain that the Duan family should be living here.

The man deliberately slowed down his voice: "Erya, you and sister wait here."

Erya nodded obediently.

A quarter of an hour later, the man grabbed Duan Dashan, who was shirtless, and walked towards the village stage.

On weekdays, this is the most open place and has the most people. Adults and children rest here when they have free time.

The screams of the eldest brother's wife in the back almost pierced the eardrums. Fubao hurried forward to lock the door from the outside, put on a small lock, and murmured softly: "Wait!"

The people inside couldn't get out, so naturally no one came to help Duan Dashan. He was watched by the villagers all the way and dragged to the stage.

Duan Dashan's face flushed red. "You son of a bitch, you little bastard, what are you doing? Let me go!"

The villagers heard the news early in the morning and rushed here to watch the excitement.

Duan Lao Er twisted his arm and said to the crowd below: "My good brother used the accounting method to embezzle other people's money for gambling. After being discovered, he persuaded my whole family to let me take the blame for him."

As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate sigh: "What? Is there such a thing?"

"Look, the second son has been honest since he was young, I said he would not do such a thing. On the contrary, the eldest son, who has earned a little money, looks down on others. He is just working in the city, but he speaks as if he is the boss."

Duan Lao Er listened to the reactions from the crowd and continued, "I agreed because he said he would take care of my wife and daughter. I had no choice but to agree due to the famine. But you can see how he treated Qiao Er and Er Ya."

The neighbors below all said, "Oh, how could they do such a thing? The little girl used to be quite smart, but she was tortured into a fool by that family."

"Don't tell me that every day in that house, there was the sound of Qiao'er crying and shouting because she was beaten. You can see how capable she was before, but later she was so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe."

Fu Bao whispered from below: "Without evidence, how can we believe this empty talk?"

Someone in the back said, "The villagers don't care whether it's true or not. As long as someone says it, Duan Dashan is no longer innocent. What's more, it's all true. The villagers have been unhappy with him for a long time."

Fubao turned his head, but didn't see who that person was.
