"Wow, the candy exchanger is here, the candy exchanger is here!"

The children who were playing with stones and kicking stones under the tree heard the shouting and rushed towards the village entrance.

When the children saw the candies on the peddler's bamboo basket, they became excited instantly.

"Wow, it's really candy. I remember I have chicken feathers at home!"

"My family has some too. My grandma even saved some chicken feathers for Chinese New Year!"

"Hmph, don't fight with me. I have the most chicken and duck feathers at home, so I must be the one who gets the biggest candy!"

The person who was speaking was Fu Xiaolong, who had recently gone to the breeding base to do something bad. He was very proud of himself. A while ago, he had specially gone to Yu Guixiang's place and secretly hid all the chicken and duck feathers she had stored, just to wait for the peddler to come and exchange them for candy.

Qian Xiaohua's son Fu Yaozu was filled with envy when he heard this. His family used to raise a lot of chickens and ducks, but they all died because of the poisonous crabs.

The chickens and ducks couldn’t be eaten either, so Qian Xiaohua buried them all in the ground.

Oh, if only those chickens and ducks hadn’t been poisoned to death, he would not only have chicken to eat, but he could also exchange their feathers for sugar cubes and glass beads!

"Children, chicken feathers and duck feathers can be exchanged for candy and toys. If you have chicken feathers and duck feathers at home, please bring them here!"

The peddler struck the small gong in his hand and shouted to a group of children.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu looked at each other. There were also quite a few chicken feathers in their family.

"Uncle Peddler, can you wait for us here? I'm going home to get the chicken feathers now!"

"Me too, I'll go tell my grandma!"

The peddler nodded in agreement, and Fu Ling grabbed Qin Mingzhu and Fu Honghong and ran home.

The other children also ran home, only Fu Yaozu stood next to the peddler, staring at the candies in the bamboo basket and swallowing his saliva.

The peddler looked up, a little puzzled.

"Kid, why don't you go home and get some chicken feathers?"

"I don't have chicken feathers at home." Fu Yaozu answered without hesitation.

"My chickens have all been poisoned and I haven't eaten chicken for a year."

Peddler Hu Wanshan was surprised to hear this. Looking at Fu Yaozu's sturdy figure, he didn't look like the kind of person who would be reluctant to eat chicken at home!

"Can chickens be poisoned? Kid, are you kidding me?"

Fu Yaozu shook his head, his eyes rolling as he said, "I'm not lying to you, Uncle. Do you want to know how the chicken was poisoned?"

Fu Yaozu swallowed his saliva again after he finished speaking. He knew who Hu Wanshan was and could see through his little thoughts at a glance.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a small piece to try!"

After saying that, he found a piece of broken candy about the size of a peanut from under the candy block and handed it to Fu Yaozu.

Fu Yaozu took it and put it into his mouth immediately. This candy was actually malt sugar, which tasted sweet and sticky.

"Now you can tell me why your chickens died, right?"

"Well...my mother caught a poisonous crab last year. That crab poisoned all my chickens to death and also made my stepfather run away."

"My mother said that chickens that were poisoned can't be eaten and can only be buried. Otherwise, I would have tons of chicken feathers to exchange for candy for you."

Hu Wanshan couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw Fu Yaozu's silly look.

"Kid, why haven't I heard you mention your biological father?"

"Oh, my biological father died at sea, and now my stepfather has run away, so I have no father."

As Fu Yaozu was speaking, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

"Uncle Peddler, why don't you be my father? As long as you give me some candy, I will definitely be filial to you in the future, and when you die, I will smash the pot for you!"

Hu Wanshan found the first few sentences funny, but when he heard the last sentence, his face turned dark.

What is the IQ of this child? He looks like a solid kid, but why does he talk like a fool?

However, when he said that he wanted to recognize himself as his father, it coincided with what Hu Wanshan had just thought.

"Kid, you look pitiful. I'll give you some more candy. After you eat it, I'll decide whether I want to be your father or not."

"Really, give me back the candy?"

Fu Yaozu's eyes lit up. It was already evening and the villagers were either at the dock or at home cooking dinner. There was no one else on the road.

Hu Wanshan looked around and thought that God was helping him. He had originally come here just to check things out, but now, there was no reason not to accept the goods that were delivered to his door. He immediately removed the lid of the bamboo basket and took out a bag of candies from the bottom.

This candy looks smaller than the previous one and its color is a little yellower.

Unfortunately, the surroundings were a bit dark, and Fu Yaozu didn't notice anything wrong.

He took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth without even looking at it.

"Um... Uncle, why does this candy taste a bit bitter?"

"If it's too sweet, it will be bitter. If you eat two more pieces, it will definitely not be bitter anymore."

When Fu Yaozu heard that he could eat two more pieces, he immediately felt less bitter.

But before he finished the second piece of candy, he suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness, and the next second, he knew nothing.

"Humph, you still want to be my son? Go be someone else's son!"

Hu Wanshan sneered, and while there was no one around, he quickly picked up Fu Yaozu, hid behind a tree, and stuffed him into a bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket was empty, but it was still big enough to hold a child of a few years old.

After stuffing everything in, he put the lid back on, clapped his hands, and prepared to pick up his load and leave.

Why bother exchanging chicken feathers? We have them today!

"Uncle Peddler, wait for me!"

Hu Wanshan's heart tightened when he heard this, but when he turned around and saw that it was a little girl of a few years old, he immediately felt relieved.

"Oh, kid, do you want to exchange some candy too? Where are your chicken feathers?"

Fu Honghong nodded and said, "My grandma said the chicken feathers are too big for me to pick up, so she asked me to take you home to get the chicken feathers."

Hu Wanshan subconsciously refused when he heard this.

"To the village? Well, I won't go. Look, it's getting dark, and I have to go home."

After saying that, he looked at the cute and well-behaved Fu Honghong, and suddenly some evil thoughts came to his mind.

Kidnapping one is kidnapping, kidnapping two is also kidnapping, and a girl can be exchanged for a lot of money.

"Kid, let's put it this way. I'm in a hurry to go back. Seeing that you look so festive, I'll give you some candy and won't go home with you to get chicken feathers."

Fu Honghong's eyes widened. Is there such a good thing?

"Uncle, is that true?"

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you if there's nothing wrong?"

As Hu Wanshan spoke, he took out the bag of candies.

He didn't even count and just grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Fu Honghong's hand.

Fu Honghong thanked him without thinking, and then counted the candies in her palm.

One, two, three, exactly three pieces. She ate one and gave one each to Lingling and Sister Mingzhu.

"Child, eat quickly!"

Hu Wanshan couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw Fu Honghong hesitating.

Normally, people in their line of work would leave after completing one order, but today he had two good products, and he didn't want to give up just like that.

Fortunately, Fu Yaozu in the basket ate a large piece of food, so he would definitely not wake up for a while.

"Uncle, I want to eat later."

Fu Honghong explained in a low voice. She didn't know why, but the uncle who had been so kind and friendly just now now looked a little ferocious.

She took a half step back and turned around to run home, but Hu Wanshan grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth.

"Mmmmm let me go!"

Hu Wanshan quickly took out a handkerchief and covered Fu Honghong's mouth and nose. Fu Honghong lost her strength instantly. In a trance, she heard someone calling her.

"Honghong!"
