Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

"Dad, there's food..." Xia Yutang didn't want her father to be frugal, as he was now so thin that his ribs were very noticeable.

“I know, I know we have food. Dad, you’re just busy. You’ll be less busy soon, and you’ll eat properly. My Tangtang is good too, and you should eat well and grow up properly, okay? And you two, while I’m not home, you two are the pillars of the family, so help your mother more…” Xia Jixuan reached out and pinched his little daughter’s face. She was still very thin, which made his heart ache.

It was almost time to eat, and it was summer. Xuan took out the red envelopes he had prepared, each containing 10 yuan, showing no favoritism. He gave each person a red envelope, and then he had to leave. Before leaving, he slipped a red envelope and a small bag into his wife's hand.

Watching their father leave, they weren't disappointed because of the red envelopes they received, but they were more curious about what was inside their mother's red envelope.

So the three of them stood expectantly in front of their mother, waiting for her to open the red envelope.

Liu Fangmei sighed helplessly and opened the red envelope and the small cloth bag. Inside the red envelope were ten 100-yuan bills. Inside the small cloth bag were a gold ring and a pair of gold bracelets, the bracelets of which looked quite heavy.

"Wow, it's gold! Dad's really not being fair, only Mom has one, none of the three of us have one..." Xia Yutang looked at the big gold bracelet with envy and jealousy, her big eyes pleading.

"Hey, you brat, just you wait. When you get married, I'll definitely make 10 or 8 bracelets to crush you to death..." Liu Fangmei pretended to grit her teeth and wanted to pinch her face, but Xia Yutang giggled and ran away.

The family of four laughed and joked for a while before hurrying back to their space to take a shower and change into new clothes.

After taking a shower in the space, the three siblings knelt down in front of their mother to wish her a Happy New Year. Each of them received a 10-yuan red envelope, and Xia Yutang specially prepared a money box for each of them.

"Brother, let's see who has the most money saved among the three of us."

"Okay, but don't cry if you don't get enough..." Shi Tou's straightforwardness left Xia Yutang speechless.

"Hmph..." Xia Yutang snorted loudly.

Liu Fangmei found it amusing; this little girl was so young, but she had quite a temper. She took out three golden peanuts from her pocket, the kind with the shells on.

"This was given to me by the lady of the landlord's house years ago. I originally intended to sell it to pay for your grandparents' medical treatment, but those people thought my ducklings were worth very little, even less than seafood. So I secretly found a place, dug a pit, and sealed them in a jar. After we moved, I went back and dug them out. Here, don't tell me I have one, and you all should each have one. But you have to hide it well; you can't take this out now. If someone steals it, people will say there's something wrong with its composition." I had to make sure they knew this, lest these little guys accidentally give it away.

"Okay, Mother, thank you, Mother..." The three of them looked at the golden peanuts from left to right. Xia Yutang was the first to react and found a glass bottle with a lid, putting the golden peanuts inside.

"I want to fill this jar before I turn 20." There are still 16 years left. If her mother gives her one every year and she also brings back Song Fubao's grandfather's collection, it will be full immediately.

The thought of it made me feel great, but when I saw my thin arms and legs, I realized that I couldn't finish it for the time being, and I immediately felt discouraged.

Liu Fangmei watched the little girl change her expression repeatedly, wondering what she was imagining. She couldn't understand how such a young child could be so unpredictable.

"Alright, alright, Mom will help you. You should also get two of these jars for your two brothers to store as their dowry." Liu Fangmei thought the little girl's idea was quite good, and that her two sons could also use this approach.

By the time they're 20, they've filled a jar with their savings, enough to serve as a dowry for their future wives or as a personal stash of money.

She still had quite a lot left, having previously used gold beans and silver melon seeds as tips to officials and wealthy merchants.

She and her best friend both have a habit of keeping these little things. There's still a small bag in her jar, which her best friend gave to her back then.

My girlfriend once said that she would save up a lot so that if she got married and had a child, she would be the godmother and the little one would be her godson and goddaughter.

The two girls were betrothed as children. The man was almost 10 years older than them. He left with the group when he was 14 and then disappeared without a trace.

Over the years, Liu Fangmei had been keeping an eye on her friend's fiancé, thinking that when the time came, she would find someone to marry her friend and then tell her at her grave.

There had been no news for so many years, and he wondered if he had misheard her name back then. Suddenly thinking of his best friend, he decided to find some free time tomorrow to take his daughter and son to visit her.

By the way, ask her to appear in her dream and tell her if she's remembered her fiancé's name wrong? She hasn't been able to find him all these years...

I was even planning to secretly burn some paper money for her. I wonder how her siblings are doing after they ran away?

"Alright, alright, we need to rest now. Since your father isn't here, we won't stay up all night. There might be firecrackers going on later. Do you want to go back to your home over there, or do you want to stay here?" There would be firecrackers going on after midnight. He wasn't worried about his two sons, but he was afraid that his little girl would be frightened by the sound of firecrackers while she was sleeping.

"Don't go..."

"Neither of us will go. We'll sleep here tonight. It's rare to hear the sound of firecrackers..." Boys are brave and they also like things like firecrackers, which are relatively dangerous.

They can only hear the sound of firecrackers around the time of the Lunar New Year every year, and they are reluctant to go back home.

Sure enough, when they were all asleep at 12 o'clock, they were woken up by a burst of firecrackers.

The two brothers, Shi Tou and Shi Tou, were excited. After all, they hadn't heard the sound of firecrackers for a long time, and it felt too deserted.

The little girl was startled by the sound of the firecrackers, but after recovering from the shock, she turned over and went back to sleep. Although it was a bit noisy, she was able to fall asleep again because she was mentally prepared.

Xia Yutang woke up again at 9 a.m. the next day. He was alone in the room. He heard voices coming from the main room. He got up, dressed, and washed up in his own space before going out.

After washing her face, she applied cold cream and hand cream, because it was too cold outside and she didn't want to get frostbite from the cold.

When she arrived at the main room, she discovered that it was the old village chief's wife who had come to deliver something to her house.

My two older brothers aren't here; they must have gone out to visit friends for the New Year.
