After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"What happened to the little girl? Why are you carrying her back? Are you hurt?"

Qian Fengping hurried out from the kitchen, worriedly wanting to help.

Seeing Fang Nanzhi's eyes closed, her heart grew heavier and she followed him into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, the little girl lying on his shoulder suddenly opened her eyes.

Those eyes were bright and cunning, and they didn't look sick at all.

"Aunt, I'm fine!"

Then she immediately put her arms around Fang Tong's neck and acted like a spoiled child: "Daddy, lots of money, buy some meat!"

"I'm exhausted from acting, I need some nourishment!"

She just squinted her eyes and saw that the money bag given by Chief Qin was bulging, which could definitely buy a lot of meat!

"Meat?" Fang Yin, who was sitting on the kang in the room, was immediately excited when he heard the word: "Eat meat! Third brother, I want to eat meat too!"

"Buy, buy, buy. We'll eat meat tomorrow!"

Fang Tong agreed with a smile, then took out his purse and poured the money onto the table.

The three of them gathered together to count the money.

The total amount is three hundred and twenty-one copper coins.

Qian Fengping was completely bewildered and asked in confusion, "What was going on with you guys just now? What kind of acting was this? And where did all this money come from?"

Fang Tong scratched his head and explained the whole story one by one.

Qian Fengping was angry at first, but when she heard that the father and daughter had cooperated to extort a lot of money, her mood suddenly brightened up and she felt relieved: "Well done, that's how it should be!"

That hypocritical old man had always wanted to take advantage of her family, but he never expected that he would suffer losses one day.

Qin Yan came over at some point. He was always calm, and after knowing the whole story, he felt a little worried. However, seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he didn't pour cold water on them.

The old fellow, Chief Qin, is not a good person. Now that he has suffered such a great loss at the hands of Uncle Fang, I am afraid he will not give up. They have to be more careful in the future.

In the afternoon, after the medicine was boiled, the couple went up the mountain to pick chestnuts, leaving the two children to look after Fang Yin.

The most important thing right now is to get food. I have three bags at home, but they are not enough to last me.

On the mountain, the Qin clan members saw this and although they had doubts in their hearts, they did not say much.

Because the village chief had been telling everyone all day long that someone in the neighboring village had starved to death, or that someone in the village had fought over food and been arrested by yamen runners!

I emphasized that Mushan Village has not had these dirty things happen now. Why? First it was the yams, and now it’s the chestnuts. It’s all thanks to Fang Tong. Everyone should be grateful.

These words touched everyone's heart, and they all felt embarrassed.

Therefore, the Qin clan members now dare not cause trouble for Fang Tong openly.

The couple didn't know the reason, but they felt that everyone was very enthusiastic today.

It was not until it was completely dark that everyone reluctantly went down the mountain.

The couple came back carrying a bag and a half of chestnuts and were about to clean up and cook when there was a knock on the gate.

Fang Tong opened the door in confusion and saw Cheng Dafu, a burly man with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Well, third brother, don't you only have milk at home? I don't have much food at home, so I'll give you some dried wild vegetables. It's not much, so please don't be disgusted."

As he said this, he took out a handful of dried vegetables from behind him, stuffed them in his pocket, turned around and ran away.

Fang Tong looked at the dried vegetables, stunned, and then laughed. He didn't expect that Cheng Dafu, who was usually very stingy, was actually a discerning person.

He was about to turn back when someone else came.

That evening, most of the villagers came to give gifts. Those who were reluctant to give away food gave bamboo baskets of firewood, while those who had been making do with their lives gritted their teeth and gave away a few chopsticks of pickles or something.

Therefore, the Qin family's dinner was quite rich.

Qian Fengping sighed: "People still remember favors a lot."

Fang Tong didn't respond. This matter cannot be viewed from only one side, but at the moment, at least his efforts were not in vain.

Relatively speaking, the atmosphere in the Fang family is not very good.

Fang Jin already knew what had happened on the mountain. All his plans had been in vain, and he was afraid that everyone would think he was stealing the credit.

He glared at He: "You still have the nerve to eat? Go, pick some chestnuts."

If He hadn't been so cowardly, it would be him that everyone should come to thank him now!

He trembled, put down her bowl obediently and went to the kitchen.

At the dinner table, no one spoke up for her, including her two sons.

Fang Qingya sipped her brown rice porridge gracefully before speaking softly, "Dad, don't be angry. The disaster victims are over now, and the imperial examination shouldn't be postponed. Just focus on your studies. As for Third Uncle, he'll suffer the consequences for offending the Qin family."

Fang Jin felt relieved after hearing this.

My daughter is so smart. Why didn’t she notice it before?

The next morning, Fang Tong got up early and prepared to go to the county town to buy meat. After all, he had promised his daughter and second brother.

Fang Nanzhi quietly opened his eyes and observed in the dark. When he saw his father was about to go out, he immediately got up and wanted to follow him.

She hasn't been to the county town for a long time!

As expected, Fang Tong rejected him.

I just told you I was beaten yesterday, how can I go out today? If they come and ask for my money back, I won't even get the meat or the broth.

Between playing and eating meat, I would definitely choose eating meat!

The little girl then went back to sleep.

Fang Tong was relieved only after confirming that his daughter was not following him. He touched the knife hidden in his inner pocket with lingering fear and felt more at ease.

After what happened last time, he really didn't dare to be careless anymore. He would wait until life was peaceful before taking his daughter out to play.

He took two cents and planned to hitchhike into the city on the donkey cart of the Li family next door.

Because Fang Tong had saved his life before, Boss Li refused to take any money no matter what.

Boss Li originally took his two sons and third brother to the town to work every day. After the disaster victims incident, not even two days passed, and he relied on his large family to boldly go into the city.

Fang Tong chatted with the other person for about half an hour, and then the group entered the county town.

The county town is much more lively than before. You can still see one or two beggars occasionally, but you can feel the difference in the atmosphere. The city is slowly returning to its previous order.

However, it is much better than the small market in the village. Even if the people in the county town are affected by the disaster, they all have some assets, and the vendors can still sell their goods.

Fang Tong felt a little better. He said hello to Boss Li and got out of the car to stroll around.

While looking, he went straight to the nearest pork shops and finally chose a shop run by a young man.

Fang Tong remembered that the shop used to be run by an old, strong man, but now the owner was a young man, also strong. Judging from their similar features, he was probably his son.

My son is good. He is young and young people are the most honest (and easy to deceive).

There were also several families in front of the pork stall, all of whom cut off two or three taels of meat to take home to taste. Fang Tong felt a little relieved and went up to ask the price: "Boss, how much is your pork?"

The young man, chopping pork bones with a kitchen knife, didn't even look up when he heard this. "That depends on the cut. Fat is 80 wen, pork belly is 48 wen, and pure lean meat is 30 wen. It depends on the cut you want."
