After Su Xiaoxiao left Jiang Lanlan's house, she went directly to Liu Fugui's house.

Liu Fugui is about the same age as her father and is a carpenter in the village.

On weekdays, people would ask him for help when they wanted to make a table, cabinet or other carpentry work.

In terms of compensation, either some money is paid or some food is given.

Liu Fugui is a kind-hearted person. If he sees that the other party's family is really in trouble, he will help for free without asking for a penny.

Su Xiaoxiao came to the door of Liu Fugui's house with an empty basket, and saw thirteen-year-old Liu Dazhuang squatting at the door with his head down, drawing something on the ground with a small wooden stick in his hand.

On weekdays, Liu Dazhuang often looks for Su Chengen to play. He does not mind Su Chengen's stupidity and takes good care of Su Chengen.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and greeted him.

"Da Zhuang!"

Liu Dazhuang was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice someone approaching. He was startled and his small body couldn't help but tremble.

He suddenly raised his head and saw that the other person was Su Xiaoxiao, and the tension in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"Miss..."

Seeing the other person's eyes were red, Su Xiaoxiao squatted down worriedly.

"Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Liu Dazhuang quickly lowered his head, wiped his tears with his short, washed-white sleeves, and continued to scribble on the ground.

"I'm fine! No one is bullying me!"

Su Xiaoxiao exposed it bluntly.

"You're lying! No one is bullying you, why are you crying?"

Liu Dazhuang was silent for three seconds, then choked up and said, "I miss my mother!"

He was born to Liu Fugui and his first wife, Zhang.

Zhang died of illness when he was seven years old, and he has many memories of her.

What impressed him most was Zhang's smile and warm embrace.

Even when he got into trouble, Zhang never beat or scolded him. Instead, she held him in her arms, smiled, and patiently explained the facts and reasoned with him.

Su Xiaoxiao searched the original owner's memory and found this person.

She was indeed a rare good daughter-in-law and a good woman, but it was a pity that she died young.

She patted Liu Dazhuang's shoulder to comfort him.

"Aunt Zhang will miss you too, but she hopes you can grow up healthy and happy instead of crying all day long!"

Liu Dazhuang lowered his head even lower and said nothing more.

Tears as big as beans slid down from the tip of his nose, fell heavily to the ground, soaking the entire area.

In fact, he had just been beaten by his stepmother Chen Fang.

But he can't say!

In order to treat Zhang's illness, all the family savings were spent and a lot of foreign debts were owed.

Liu Fugui and his son depended on each other for several years, and then they met Chen Fang through an introduction.

Chen Fang was nearly ten years younger than Liu Fugui and was still a virgin. However, she did not despise their family's poverty and married Liu Fugui.

After marriage, the two had a good relationship and lived a well-organized life.

After more than a year of hard work, the two of them paid off all the remaining debts.

Now, life at home is better. Chen Fang gave birth to another son for Liu Fugui, named Liu Erzhuang, who is three years old this year.

Everyone in the village said that Liu Fugui was lucky to marry a good wife like Chen Fang, who was young, beautiful, capable, caring, took good care of her stepson, and was good at managing the household.

But no one knew that Chen Fang didn't like Liu Dazhuang.

When Liu Fugui was not at home, Chen Fang either beat or scolded Liu Dazhuang.

In order to prevent Liu Fugui from discovering the clues, Chen Fang only hit Liu Dazhuang on the body and never hit the part exposed outside the clothes.

Even if his body was bruised, no one would know.

She also threatened Liu Dazhuang that if he dared to tell Liu Fugui, she would not live with him anymore.

Liu Dazhuang was a sensible child. He knew that it was not easy for his father to find a wife, so he never said a word about it.

No one knows how difficult Liu Dazhuang's life is every day.

Just now, he was hungry and went to the kitchen to find something to eat, but was beaten by Chen Fang again.

The broom hit his thin back and it burned painfully.

As punishment, he was kicked out of the house, so he squatted at the door and cried in grievance.

Su Xiaoxiao felt very distressed when she saw Liu Dazhuang sobbing.

I simply thought he just missed his biological mother.

Just as she was about to speak to comfort him again, Chen Fang came out with a basin of water.

Chen Fang was worried that Su Xiaoxiao might discover something, so she quickly smiled and tried to test him.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao is here?"

Su Xiaoxiao stood up and responded, "Yes, Auntie!"

Liu Dazhuang immediately wiped his tears with his sleeves and lowered his head so that Chen Fang would not see.

Otherwise, Chen Fang will be unhappy.

"What are you guys whispering about there?"

"Nothing, just chatting for a while."

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Chen Fang's face darkened.

"Da Zhuang, go inside and see your brother. Your dad will be back soon. I need to cook!"

"Oh!" Liu Dazhuang responded and ran into the house with his head down.

Chen Fang poured the water out and saw that Su Xiaoxiao had no intention of leaving. She asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

"I want Uncle Fugui to help me make something!"

Chen Fang's face turned completely cold.

Given Su Xiaoxiao's family situation, no matter what Liu Fugui does, he will not get any benefits.

In addition, Liu Fugui is a very honest and generous person, so he will definitely not take a penny.

She particularly dislikes people who ask for money from others.

"He's not at home, come back another day!"

Su Xiaoxiao also saw the other party's worry and said bluntly: "Don't worry, auntie, I'll pay the money!"

"You?" Chen Fang looked at Su Xiaoxiao and was full of doubts about what Su Xiaoxiao said.

"Yes, I'll pay whatever's due!"

Just when Chen Fang was about to refuse, Liu Fugui came back.

"Xiaoxiao is here?"

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and smiled at Liu Fugui innocently.

"Uncle Fugui, I want you to help me make a small cart, like this."

She squatted down and drew the shape of a small cart on the ground.

She also mentioned the size she needed.

Liu Fugui took a look and said, "No problem, we can do it."

"I don't have the materials. Thank you for helping me find them, Uncle Fugui. I'll pay you both the labor and the materials when the time comes!"

"Hey, what's the money? Just a hand-in-hand. It can be done in three or four days."

When his family was in trouble before, Su Yong helped them a lot. Now that Su Yong is gone, he will help the orphans and widows he leaves behind as much as he can.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't have the habit of taking advantage of others, so she immediately refused.

"No, no, no, Uncle Fugui, it's the right amount, not a cent less."

Liu Fugui still had no intention of taking the money.

"We'll talk about it later. Have you had lunch? Stay for dinner?"

"I've eaten with Uncle Fugui. I'm going back first. I'll come back in a few days."

"Hey, good!"

Chen Fang didn't believe that Su Xiaoxiao could come up with the money, and didn't want Liu Fugui to take the job, but she didn't want to let her man lose face.

After Su Xiaoxiao left, she said angrily, "We still have a lot of work to do at home!"

Liu Fugui nodded, "I know, don't worry, I won't interfere with my family's work."

"You want to work for free again?"

"You can't say that. We're all from the same village, so we should help each other."

Chen Fang had heard this so many times that her ears were almost covered with calluses.

"If you help her, aren't you afraid of offending the people in the Su family's old house? If they know that you are helping her, how can we live our lives?"
