Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Xia Yutang held two stones and spent the whole afternoon working under the tree with the grandmothers, aunts, and women.

During this time, she heard many stories about people from other villages coming to borrow grain. Some were gentle, while others were rough. The gentle ones lent her a few pounds of grain and sent her away, while the rough ones simply grabbed it. It was the villagers who had to help. Ever since the grain was distributed, the village had been in constant commotion. It was just that they lived far away and hadn't encountered them yet.

The biggest and most outrageous gossip was that Song Fubao was constantly crying and sobbing in the village. Before, she would sit under the big banyan tree at the village entrance, where many people passed by, and occasionally these old women would chat and cool off there.

She sat not far from the old women chatting, and quietly cried. If anyone asked her, she would say that her stone had been taken by Song Tangtang.

She didn't know where Xia Tangtang lived and wanted someone to take her to Xia Tangtang's house to get the stone back. But many people knew what the stone was all about, so who would be fooled by her appearance?

But if you see a little girl who is a little over 3 years old sitting there crying, any villager would want to go over and ask her what's wrong.

As time went on, people stopped asking, since every time they asked, they got the same answer, and nobody wanted to get involved.

Moreover, as everyone knows, Xia Tangtang's stone was found by her mother, Liu Fangmei, before she gave birth to the twins, and everyone who went up the mountain with them at the time saw it.

Later, when she named her eldest child, she used this same stone. The twins often played with it when they were little. After they got other toys and Xia Tangtang really liked the stone after she was born, this stone became Xia Tangtang's toy.

The village children who had played with Xia Laosan's three children all knew that his family had such a stone, but in Song Fubao's mouth, when did that stone become Song Fubao's?

Just as everyone suddenly thought of Song Fubao, Song Fubao arrived. She stood under the tree, watching Xia Tangtang playing with two small pebbles, her eyes brimming with tears…

Anyone who didn't know better would think Xia Tangtang had done something to her, with those teary eyes...

Because it had been like this for several days, none of the people working under the tree dared to ask Song Fubao what was wrong. If they were to be falsely accused, they would have another headache.

There's only one child like him. You watch him cry, and if you don't comfort him, you feel bad. But all he keeps saying is, "I want a stone from Xia Tangtang."

We're all just three-year-old kids. Why should we give you someone else's toys? We're not relatives or anything. It's their stuff. If they're willing to give it to us, that's their kindness. If they're not willing, that's fine too. After all, it's their stuff.

"Fifth Grandma, what's wrong with her?" Xia Yutang noticed Song Fubao's gaze and hid behind Fifth Grandma, inwardly complaining: What kind of look is that? Like she's looking at a heartless man.

"It's alright, just ignore her. Tangtang, where's that stone you had before?" The old lady wanted to know where her stone had gone, as she hadn't seen Tangtang take it out to play with it twice.

"I don't know. Didn't we see it when we moved? Mother said she didn't see it either, and doesn't know where it is?" Xia Yutang shook her head. They had moved before, so it was understandable that she didn't know. She was injured at the time and had no idea whether she had taken it or not.

"Oh, it's gone. Then we won't look for it. Next time Grandma goes up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables, she'll pick a few more for you if she sees them." The old lady thought there were still pretty stones on the mountain, and she would pick a couple for the little girl when she went up to dig for wild vegetables.

Both are three and a half years old, but this little girl is much more well-behaved than Song Fubao. Look at her, she can play with two small stones all afternoon, while Song Fubao is just a silly little thing who knows how to cry all day long.

"Thank you, Fifth Grandma! My brother also said that if he sees any pretty stones when he goes up the mountain, he'll pick them up for me." Xia Yutang smiled and thanked the old lady, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Everyone working under the big tree heard it: Xia Yutang's stone was gone, but Song Fubao, who was standing nearby crying, didn't believe it.

That stone wasn't just pretty to look at; it was a treasure too. Who wouldn't hide a treasure? So it must have been Xia Tangtang who hid it, and he made up a lie to prevent him from finding it.

An aunt who was closest to Song Fubao reached out and patted Song Fubao on the shoulder: "Fubao, Tangtang said she lost her stone and didn't know where she put it when she moved. Don't bother looking for her anymore. Look, the stone she's playing with now isn't that one."

Actually, what my aunt wanted to say was even more bluntly: she wanted her to stop crying all the time in the village. Seriously, every time she saw her sitting on those roads that everyone had to pass by, crying, she just wanted to turn around and leave.

"Why does this kid look so sinister?"

"She definitely doesn't believe what we're saying?" The aunties could tell from Song Fubao's silent demeanor that she certainly didn't believe them.

They just couldn't understand it. It's just a rock, isn't it? There are plenty of beautiful rocks out there, so why did they have to choose that one? Or is it because someone else's rock is prettier?

"Tell me what's wrong with this child? Why is she so determined to pick on Tangtang? Look at the mess she's made of. Her uncle beat her up not long ago, how come she's forgotten about it so quickly and is now eyeing Tangtang's things again?" With such persistence, what else could it be but that she's been eyeing Tangtang's things for a long time?

"There are quite a few children in this village around their age, right? Little Tangtang gets along well with everyone, especially Miao Yue's daughter. Hu Zi's son is also around the same age, and he's not like that. So why is Song Fubao the only one who's different from everyone else?" That year, more than a dozen children, both boys and girls, were born in the village.

Several families who were close to Liu Fangmei, including both boys and girls, were about the same age and often played together. He had seen them share toys and treats many times.

Song Fubao has always been a loner, and now it's even worse, with this kind of trouble. She's just like her grandmother, Miao Xiaoni. It really is true that birds of a feather flock together...

"Next time we run into her, let's just pretend we didn't see her." If we can't afford to offend her, can't we at least avoid her? Miao Xiaoni is always talking nonsense; we certainly don't want to deal with her.

The others understood what he meant and went to see Song Fubao, who was crying. They all wanted to finish their work quickly so they could go home and cook.

Although they have food now, when they're not working, they only eat one meal a day, as long as they don't starve. Today, they're supposed to cook two meals a day while they're working, and they were planning to finish their work and then go back to cook, but Song Fubao's arrival has disrupted their schedule.
