After most of the people under the big tree had left, and Xia Tangtang still hadn't been picked up, my grandma planned to take her home after she finished her work if her two older brothers hadn't arrived yet.

Song Fubao was left unattended; she just stood there. Fifth Grandma was still wondering what was going on with the Song family. Why hadn't anyone come looking for Song Fubao?

"Sugar Girl, if your brother doesn't come soon, I'll finish my work here and then take you home, okay?"

"Yes, Fifth Grandmother." Although she was a little bored, the old lady would definitely be worried about her going back by herself, so she decided to wait.

This Song Fubao is a bit of a persistent ghost, but ever since she stood there, she has stayed behind Fifth Grandmother, so that Fifth Grandmother is waiting for her and she can't see Song Fubao.

What's wrong with this child? Why is she staring at her so intently? She probably doesn't know that there's a space inside that stone. Maybe we should just find her a similar one.

Since they're all stones anyway, she figured if she said so, then so be it. With the pandemic still over for more than a year, she didn't want Song Fubao constantly watching over her.

Thinking about giving Fu Bao a stone, I needed to find another one, but then I remembered I had two more in my hand. I'll go back and clean them, then polish them with a stone until they're smooth.

When the time comes, I'll find a time to pass by her, pretend to accidentally drop it, and of course, I'll make sure she picks it up before I leave. Hmm, no, if she picks it up, I'll have to ask her for it back, and I'll need someone to be there to witness it.

She's definitely not going to give back the stone she's been waiting for so long. Hmm, does that solve the problem?

Also, Song Dazhi is coming back. Once he's back, their family is definitely going to be in turmoil. They might throw some outrageous things at them; they need to clean things up.

That person had climbed over other people's walls more than once or twice. In the future, when they go to the beach and no one is home, they will definitely have to tidy up the house properly to prevent someone from climbing over the wall and breaking in while they are away.

Just as she was wondering if there was anything outrageous in the house, she suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness and her vision began to rise. She quickly came to her senses and tried to struggle, but was stopped by a familiar voice.

It turned out she had been picked up; this feeling was so strange.

"Was my Tangtang good this afternoon? I'm sorry, I didn't know your two brothers left you here. They brought me lunch and then went up the mountain to gather firewood. They forgot about you at your fifth grandma's." Those two little rascals at home really had forgotten about their little sister.

After delivering the food and helping with some chores, she said she was going up the mountain to gather firewood. She assumed the little girl was at home, so she didn't mention her. It wasn't until she brought the baby back that she remembered they had left the little girl at the threshing ground.

"Mom, I have a good boy here." Xia Yutang was speechless. Seeing her mother's expression, she had already guessed that her two brothers had forgotten about her here.

"Sweetie, say thank you to Grandma Wu! Then we're going back..." Liu Fangmei coaxed the little girl to thank the old lady, and then helped the old lady take the sweet potato vines that were with the medicine to the brigade warehouse. They would be passing through the brigade road on their way home anyway, so it would save the old lady from having to make another trip carrying such heavy things.

By now, everyone had almost finished their work, and a few young women remained under the big tree. Liu Fangmei greeted everyone and then turned to leave without even glancing at Song Fubao, who was standing there staring longingly at her and her daughter.

The Song family, from the oldest to the youngest, are all annoying. The more respect you give them, the more they fawn over you. And this little girl, just over three years old, has mastered the Song family's traditions to perfection.

Look at those sinister, slanted, triangular eyes—she's exactly like that old woman Song. And look at her persistent, clingy way of asking for things—just like her mother, Liu Chunmei. She really inherited their skills.

When Song Fubao saw Liu Fangmei leave with the little mute girl, ignoring her completely, tears started falling again. No one cared about her now; everyone was in a hurry to finish their work, and they still had to deliver the sweet potato vines to the brigade headquarters and record their work points. I didn't want to be delayed because of this little girl, so I went home to cook.

As a result, Song Fubao stared at Liu Fangmei and her daughter. By the time Song Fubao came to her senses, she was all alone under the tree. Now she was scared. In this open threshing ground, she was the only little girl left. Her fake crying turned into real crying out of fright.

When she got home, Xia Tangtang remembered something that had seemed off all day. It was Song Fubao's three older brothers; the book had mentioned that wherever Song Fubao went, her three brothers followed.

Today, Song Fubao stood there for almost two hours, but her three brothers were nowhere to be seen. Could they have gone to the fields to earn work points? No, that's not right. The book said that because of Song Fubao's special abilities, her family lived a very comfortable life, and these three had never worked in the fields.

Even though Song Fubao hasn't gotten the golden finger yet, his three older brothers aren't very old. The oldest is 12 years old, the second is 10 years old, the same age as his twin brother, and the third is about 6 or 7 years old.

His two older brothers are 10 years old and haven't started working yet. Before, when they were in school, they would do chores after school, and when they weren't in school, they would go up the mountain to gather pig feed. Now there's no pig feed to gather, so his two older brothers don't work.

Then Song Fubao's older brothers don't need to go back to work at all. They aren't that diligent when they're not at school or on weekends.

"Mother, hit me, hit my bad guy..." Xia Yutang was furious. The more anxious she was to speak, the more her tongue got tied up, and she couldn't finish a complete sentence.

"A bad guy? Song Dazhi, is that Song Fubao's uncle?" Liu Fangmei was afraid that her daughter wouldn't recognize Song Dazhi, so she specially explained that Song Dazhi was Song Fubao's uncle.

"What happened to him? He shouldn't be out yet." Liu Fangmei has been so busy these past few days that she's forgotten about Song Dazhi.

"Tomorrow, Aunt Zhang said tomorrow..." Aunt Zhang is the aunt next door to Old Song's house.

"Tomorrow? I know. Don't worry, it's fine. If he dares to come, I'll deal with him. Your two brothers are here too. They're very strong; one of them could easily take on two Song Dazhis." Liu Fangmei didn't want the little girl to worry too much. Looking at the girl's tightly furrowed brows, she must have started worrying this afternoon after hearing that Song Dazhi was coming back.

"Don't worry, he hasn't avenged his beating on your mother yet. I'm waiting for him to come back so I can put the sack on him when he gets home..." Liu Fangmei patted the little girl's head, leaned close to her ear, and told her her plan.
