After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.

Liu said, "You are just being stubborn in front of me. I don't know who beat up the kids, but I was so distressed that I couldn't sleep at night."

Seeing his wife laughing uncontrollably, Yun Zhengqing looked guilty.

Oh! The strict father image he had worked so hard to build up collapsed.

……

The morning light illuminates the rooftops, and it is time for the five Yun brothers to go to school.

They studied at Shigu Academy in Shiqiao Town.

After the meal, under the leadership of Yun Zhiqian, several people put on their school bags, said goodbye to their parents and set off.

In this era, especially for poor families in the countryside, if they wanted to support a child in education, they would have to think twice, let alone Yun's father and mother had to support five.

Yun Zhiqian has repeatedly suggested that he should give up his studies and work with his father so that he can earn some money to support his four younger brothers.

He thought that he was already seventeen years old and should help his parents support the family.

Yun Zhizhang said, "Let me do it. Big brother is not as strong as me, and I have no interest in studying anyway."

Father Yun frowned and said in a low voice: "Go to school, your father is not old yet, he can afford to support you!"

They both shut up.

Yun Zhengqing worked in a blacksmith shop in Shiqiao Town. Before leaving, he told Liu to take good care of her daughter and then left.

"Fuer, can I take you to town?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The more obedient Yun Fu was, the more distressed Liu felt.

This child is so sensible and doesn't cry or make a fuss. He must have suffered a lot in the past.

Liu worked as a maid in the Xie family in Shiqiao Town to supplement the family income.

The Xie family was a wealthy merchant family in Shiqiao Town. The village where the Yun family lived was called Xiling Village, which was about seven or eight miles away from the town. Usually, it would only take Liu two incense sticks of time to walk there.

But she was reluctant to let her daughter suffer, so Liu decided to take a donkey cart to the town.

Old man Li at the head of the village has a donkey cart. Except during the busy farming season, he would take people to Shiqiao Town and earn some travel expenses.

Liu took Yun Fu to the village entrance and asked Old Man Li, "Uncle Li, how much does it cost to go to Shiqiao Town?"

Old man Li was a little surprised to see that it was Liu.

Normally, the Yun family would not bear to ride in a donkey cart, since they had five scholars to support.

Seeing that Liu was holding a little girl, Old Man Li replied, "Two cents per person. The girl is still young, so give her three cents in total."

Shiqiao Town is relatively close to the capital, so the prices are relatively higher, but the journey is shorter, so two cents is not a small amount of money.

Without hesitation, Liu took out three cents and handed it to Old Man Li.

This made Old Man Li look at her more, and today Liu was willing to do so.

There were also a few women waiting for the donkey cart.

"Ah! Sister Yun, who is this little girl? She is so cute."

Aunt Wang turned around and saw Yun Fu, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"This is our little girl named Yunfu. I was too busy to take care of her before, so I sent her to her maternal grandparents' home. I just brought her back yesterday."

Liu made up a bunch of nonsense.

Anyway, they are outsiders and are not familiar with the people in this village. They only have superficial interactions with them.

Hearing Liu say this, several people dispelled their doubts and began to praise Yun Fu.

"Fuer, this is Aunt Wang, this is Aunt Zhang, hurry up and call them."

There were a few people whom Liu didn't know either, so she didn't introduce them to Yun Fu.

"Hello, aunties."

Yun Fu called out obediently.

"So nice."

After getting on the donkey cart, Old Man Li told everyone to sit down and then set off.

Yun Fu looked left and right, very curious.

In her previous life, she had been trapped in the mansion, so how could she go out and play openly like this?

The sky seems much bluer now.

As for Liu, Zhang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Why have I never heard that you have a daughter? Where did you get her from?"

Zhang is Hu Zi's mother. Since Hu Zi and Yun Zhili played together, Zhang is relatively familiar with the Yun family.

Sometimes when Zhang chatted with Hu Zi and her daughter Er Ya, she also talked about the Yun family. She could guarantee that the Yun family had no daughter.

Hu Zi and Er Ya came back from the Yun family and told Zhang that Yun's father and mother wanted a daughter. Yun Zhili was also very envious of Hu Zi for having a younger sister.

Zhang was a little suspicious about the sudden appearance of her daughter.

Other families are rushing to have sons so that when they grow up they can become strong laborers and set up their own household.

Even some families who gave birth to daughters drowned them, threw them on the mountains, and some were sold to other boys at an early age.

Kind families will raise their daughters and then give them a dowry and marry them off early.

The Yun family is really something. They didn’t have a daughter but they brought one home.

If I had known that the Yun family wanted a daughter so much, I would have given her daughter Erya to their family.

Although the Yun family is a bit poor, there are five educated people in the family. Who knows, one day the Yun family will really have a scholar as the master, and Erya will also be proud and marry into a good family.

Liu's face turned cold and she said, "I gave birth to my own child, how could I not know?"

She didn't want Fu'er to be raised as an adopted daughter and be talked about by the villagers.

Fortunately, they had only moved to Shiqiao Town for a few years, and the people in the village were not familiar with them.

Although Zhang's words made Liu angry, she knew that Zhang was a little heartless and had no ulterior motives.

"Look at me, I'm talking too much. From this point of view, the child looks a lot like her five brothers. How can they be so similar if they are not biological children, haha."

Seeing Liu's cold face, Zhang quickly tried to smooth things over in order to ease the embarrassment.

"Sister-in-law Yun, I heard that you work as a maid in the Xie Mansion. What does the mansion look like inside? Is it as magnificent as the stories in the storybooks?"

Zhang quickly changed the subject.

……

They soon arrived at Shiqiao Town. Liu exchanged a few words with others and then took Yun Fu to Xie's mansion.

Passing by a sugar painting stall, seeing Yun Fu staring at it, Liu said, "Fu'er, whichever one you like, I'll buy it for you."

"Mom, let's go. I don't want the sugar painting. It's too sticky."

Although Yun Fu's body is only six years old, there is an adult's soul living inside it.

How could she really pester her parents to buy candy like a six-year-old child? It was just that she was trapped in that rich family in her previous life. Although she had seen this kind of sugar painting, she didn't know how it was made.

I had the pleasure of seeing her today, she was just curious.

Despite this, Liu still spent five cents to buy one for Yunfu, and Yunfu chose one in the shape of a little rabbit.

Sugar was very expensive in that era, and sugar paintings were naturally expensive as well. Under the envious eyes of the children, Yun Fu followed Liu to Xie's house with the sugar paintings.

When they entered through the side door, someone grabbed Liu's arm and said, "Sister Liu, you're here. The old lady is having a bad temper and has already beaten and scolded many people."

Liu pulled her arm back and asked, "The old lady is in a bad mood, you guys just need to comfort her, why are you pulling me?"

Yu Ming said, "Sister Liu, please help me, the old lady has specifically asked you to help her wash and groom herself, and she also wants you to cook breakfast for her, and we can't do anything about it."

Yu Ming cried, her voice revealing anxiety.

"Let's go then."

Liu sympathized with the difficulties of being a servant in a wealthy family, and at Yu Ming's pleading, she softened her heart.

After walking a few steps, Yu Ming looked down and saw Liu holding Yun Fu's hand. She frowned and asked, "Sister Liu, whose child is this?"
