Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Qian San was unlucky and broke two ribs. The villagers have already sent someone to tell the Qian family, but it was late and it was difficult to move, so even if they wanted to leave, they would have to wait until tomorrow.

Changsui was also found by Baifu. They probably had some unknown secret, so many adults couldn't find him after searching for so long.

Pei Zhu hugged him and cried. Liu Renben wiped his eyes and seemed a little sad, but then he turned cold and asked, "Where is your book?"

Chang Sui uttered two words timidly: "Burn...burned..."

Liu Renben:!

Good, that’s great, everyone has learned to fart quietly!

The villagers who had not left yet had the opportunity to watch the Liu family's parenting drama, which was not much different from their own family, it was nothing more than beating.

They still felt that the beating was not harsh enough. Those were books, such valuable things that could be passed down from generation to generation. It would be easy for this prodigal son to burn them. How dare he?

Cry loudly for a long time.

The half book that Baifu took out of his arms not only failed to make Liu Renben let him go, but also added fuel to the fire.

If Pei Zhu hadn't stopped him, he would have really beaten the man to death.

The Liu family's books are also passed down from generation to generation.

It’s bad enough that this kid ran away from home, but he even dared to burn books. Who did he learn this from?

After thinking about it carefully, they all thought that Pei Xiaohai was at fault.

If she hadn't set a bad example and made her younger brothers and sisters think that running away from home would be useful, how could this have happened?

Pei Xiaohai brought them porridge, but was inexplicably driven away by Liu Renben: "Go away, don't get in the way here."

The child was about to leave with the porridge, and Pei Zhu tutted again and said in dissatisfaction: "Put the porridge down, why are you taking it away? You are so grown up, and you still don't know how to do things."

Pei Xiaohai seemed to be neither going forward nor backward with the bowl of porridge. His movements slowed down, and he heard Liu Lianhua complaining with a cough, "I asked her to cook, but she didn't notice and used up half the pot of rice and sugar. I don't know how many tummies she's grown. I had no choice but to ask her to add more water and give each person a bowl before we finished it."

At this moment, all the villagers had gone home, and they spoke without restraint.

The Liu family is kind, but every year during the autumn harvest, they are often taken advantage of by their fellow villagers. Now they are asking them to help find someone, and it is not too tiring. It would be nice if they could just drink ginger and sugar water. Even if they are making rice soup, they should not use refined rice. There was that shameless person just now, but he drank bowl after bowl until his stomach was full before leaving.

There is not much work to do and not much to eat in winter, so many families are hungry. If they feed their children too well, they will be more likely to have bad intentions. In the early years, someone even jumped into the yard to steal things. He was caught and beaten half to death by the officials, and then others dared not do it again. But who knows if anyone will take the risk?

Those who suffered from the disaster did not have a good life.

Add to that the money for Liu Lianhua's medicine, the plaster for Liu Renben's foot pain, the money for raising the children, and the monthly payment, and even if you don't care about others, you will have to start to care about them.

Now they have more money to buy books, and they also advance money for Qian San's medicine...

"By the way, stop. I haven't asked you yet. When did you run away? Why did you leave the village?"

The place where Qian San overturned was some distance away from the village entrance. Who could believe her if she said she met him for no reason?

Pei Xiaohai, who had just put down his bowl, felt a little nervous facing the suspicious gaze and was speechless for a while.

The Liu family was filled with anger and were unwilling to let her go.

"Hurry up and tell me! Why are you being so shy?"

Liu Renben slammed the table and shouted sternly, even more frightening than Pei Zhu.

The child thought she wouldn't be afraid, but when it really came to this, she was so scared that her legs were shaking uncontrollably. Under the dim candlelight, they all turned into tall and terrifying things, sitting all over the room, and everyone was staring at her.

Little Pei avoided those gazes, always keeping his head down as he said, "Wai Ya and I went to play in town. The eldest sister of the Pei family saw us and asked Qian San to take us back."

The room was eerily quiet.

"You only know how to cause trouble for others! You didn't even tell her about this kind of thing right away. Do you have a wooden head?" Liu Renben gritted his teeth and scolded her while putting on his shoes.

Pei Zhu: "Where are you going?"

"Why? I'm going to go and see her. She caused such a big trouble, how can we act like nothing happened?"

If it doesn't matter, saving him is a favor. If it does matter, then it's what you should do. This happened because they were sending your child home, so it's reasonable for them to say something and do something.

Don't even think about asking for the money back for the medicine. It's all due to you, and you might even have to get more medicine out.

"Raising a child like you is such a sin!" Pei Zhu's temper was ridiculously small this time. She just waved her hand and said, "Go away, go away, go wherever you want. You like the town, don't you? Why don't you just live in the town? You like to run around, don't you? Go out and run. Don't hang around in front of me. Just looking at you gives me a headache."

Liu Lianhua had long disliked her and shook her head, sighing, "After so long, it's time for you to tame a wolf. But you're so different. It's all injustice."

She went out first, coughing.

Little Pei followed behind, walking very slowly so as not to walk with her.

Things were completely beyond her expectations. She didn't even understand what Qian San's car accident had to do with her.

She didn't mean to cause trouble for anyone. She and Waiya were having a great time together and didn't need anyone to send her off...

The child returned to the house trembling with fear. Pumpkin seemed to realize that something was wrong and shrank under the bed. It only responded when she called it.

A very soft meow.

Little Pei sat in the darkness blankly for a long time, pricking up his ears to hear something, but all he could hear was the whistling wind.

She waited and waited until she felt a little sleepy and almost fell asleep with her knees hugged. Finally, someone spoke outside.

"Damn it, she's still sleeping. Zhuzhu, go wake her up. I want to ask her what she said outside. I feed her, clothe her, and even support her ragtag cat and pig. How could I be so unfair to her? Yet she dares to tell everyone that we treat her badly..."

"Okay, keep your voice down. There are guests here. Wait until they leave before you say anything. This kid is just heartless and it's been like this for a long time. There's no need to make fun of him."

"What a joke? I'm almost laughing my teeth off. She's made me lose all my face. We don't owe her anything at home. Do you know what she did? She went to town to sell chestnuts and persimmons. She's been there for about a month."

"I was wondering why she was so honest, it turns out..."

The noise gradually died away, and they left, fearing that they would be laughed at if they continued to shout.

Qian San actually didn't say anything. He really meant well and advised Liu Renben not to be too strict with the child so as to avoid alienating him. But when Liu Renben heard it, his words took a different meaning.

No matter how much trouble his family was in, was it really his place for an outsider to say such things? Wasn't that a slap in his face?

Liu Renben was a respectable master in the outside world, and few people dared to point fingers at him, not to mention that Qian San was just a waiter in a wine shop.

The child is just an unwanted child. Isn’t it enough that they raise her as their own?

Even if she had some dissatisfaction, she didn't tell them, but instead went outside to criticize them, and even told it to her own sister. How conscienceless must one be to do such a thing?

At this moment, the Liu family has forgotten their own shortcomings and only remembers their good points.

They were justified, and the child was confused, and she knew she should run away quickly.

But for some unknown reason, Cuimei suddenly came to live with her.

She said Pei Zhu asked her to come.

"To prevent you from getting into any more trouble. By the way, Madam wants to see your embroidery tomorrow. Have you finished it?"

The child in the dark room could not see her face clearly, but could only see a shadow, eerie and scary, like a monster.

She seemed to laugh.

Something terrible is bound to happen tomorrow. Pei was so scared that he couldn't sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he had that bloody dream.

Until dawn, she was still very energetic. She was very energetic when she heard Aunt Yu overturn the basin and wailed: "Old lady! Someone come quickly, the old lady is gone!"

This does not mean running away from home.

When someone cries that an old person has passed away, it is most likely that he is dead.

This is a sad thing, but what Pei Xiaohai is thinking is——

Well, no one cares about her anymore.

The child even breathed a sigh of relief.

This was not a good time to save Pei Zhuxue, but it would be too late if the banquet started, so she took the money to find Liu Renben and Pei Zhu when everyone was confused.

Pei Da Nu and the Qian family, who had arrived early in the morning, were right next to her. They did not refuse her, but just asked her where the money came from.

Pei Da Nu was about to speak.

Shuanzi suddenly spoke up: "I lent it to the eldest lady, sir."

Liu Renben nodded: "I understand."

The child's eyes just lit up when he heard him say, "Shuanzi, the pig is yours now. Don't play around with her anymore."

A pig weighing two taels is a good deal even if it is a little smaller. Besides, it has never eaten any messy and dirty things.

Shuanzi: "Thank you very much, Master, but I have to keep him at home from now on."

"As you wish. Go and hang up the white cloth first."

There's a funeral going on at home.

Pei Zhu dragged Pei Xiaohai into the inner room, dressed her in linen clothes and a white hat, and warned her not to cause trouble again.

There was no need for the child to cause trouble. She knelt in the mourning hall with Changsui and Baifu the whole day.

Before this, Shuanzi said he was helping her.

The child said that this would be the best way, if you dare to steal my pig, I will give you rat poison.

The child also thought that if Liu Lianhua's ghost wanted her to pass on a message, she would never agree, no matter how angry she was.

Unfortunately, nothing like that happened, as she never saw the ghost appear.
