Madam Yang stuffed the meat bun into Fang Yu's hand.
"The children bought this for you. Eat it. It's a token of their filial piety.”
Fang Yu took the bun but did not eat it.
Madam Yang and Fang Yu had been husband and wife for many years, so she naturally understood Fang Yu's thoughts.
"Eat, there's still a long way to go. Little Seven also said that when he earns a lot of money in the future, he will double the amount of money he earns for his grandfather and grandmother.”Madam Yang said.
Fang Yu thought about it and nodded.
"In the future, when you earn money, your mother and I will be fine. You must be filial to your grandfather and grandmother.”Fang Yu said to Fang Yun.
Fang Yu was still unwilling to eat the buns. In the end, he could not persuade the children, so he only broke off half of them and let Fang Yun and the others share the rest.
"Father ate with your First Uncle and Second Uncle in town.”Fang Yu said.
Madam Yang glanced at Fang Yu and said nothing.
However, Fang Yun could not hold back his words.
"Father, I was just telling Mother that we saw First Uncle and Second Uncle in town. They came out of the restaurant drunk and even called for a sedan chair to go to the back street. I heard from the waiter in the restaurant that a large table of good dishes would cost at least one tael of silver. We haven't finished eating yet. The rest of the silver would be enough for our family to eat for a few days.”Fang Yun deliberately added fuel to the fire.
Fang Yu felt a little awkward.
Madam Yang glanced at Fang Yu and whispered," His uncle and second uncle went to the back alley. Didn't you go with them?”
Fang Yu was depressed for a long time before he said," I came back long ago…It's best not to tell anyone about this. Father has been looking forward to Big Brother becoming an official…Father is old after all, and his body isn't as good as before.”
"I don't need you to say that. I've already instructed the children.”
Madam Yang said," We can't tell anyone about the children earning money either! He said that he wanted to ruin Miss Sun's business…The children had finally earned some money. It was good to keep it for themselves. If they were counting on the family, then they should forget about it as soon as possible.”
Fang Yu nodded and did not say anything else.
"The family has given all their money to uncle. My grandpa can't bear to eat or wear. If we split up and earn money, we can generously give my grandpa food and drink. How good would that be?”Fang Yun probed.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment." Your child, why did you think of this?”
"Because of this bun, because I couldn't get an egg, I thought of it. Father, don't you think so?”Fang Yun said.
"This…Don't say this again in the future. Remember, don't even mention the matter of splitting up. If your grandfather hears it, he will be angry.”Fang Yu said.
"Yes, I understand." Fang Yun agreed.
After all, Fang Yu and Madam Yang had been here for so many years. It was difficult for them to change their minds in a short period of time.
Fortunately, although the two of them were ignorant and filial, they were not stupid and knew how to care for their children.
Fang Yun told himself not to be too anxious. He wanted to influence Fang Yu and Yang shi bit by bit.
One day, he would seize the opportunity to persuade them to split up, and they would understand what was right.
It was getting late. The family chatted for a while before resting.
……
The next morning, Madam Yang went to the upper room to get an egg.
Although Luo Shi's expression wasn't very good, he didn't say anything.
Madam Yang mixed the eggs with boiling hot rice soup into an egg custard and gave it to Fang Ru.
Fang Ru shared the food with her siblings.
After breakfast, Fang De and Fang Yu returned from town with smiles on their faces. They even bought some snacks.
Fang De even said that he had met a friend from the prefecture. He said that as long as one found the right way to choose an official and spent the right amount of money, a county magistrate was almost certain. He coaxed Old Master Fang and Luo Shi so much that they burst into laughter.
"There are some things that haven't been settled in town. Dalang and the others will only be back in two days.”Fang De continued.
Old Master Fang nodded and brought his sons and grandchildren to the field.
Luo Shi sat on the brick bed and suddenly remembered something.
"Second daughter-in-law, go and invite Aunt Zhang from the front street to wrap Qian 'er's feet today.”Luo Shi said to Madam Xu.
"Third Aunt Zhang?" Fang Ru was shocked.
"Qian 'er is already nine years old. We can't wrap our own feet, only Aunt Zhang can. I promised her 200 coins and two catties of eggs, and she promised to make Qian 'er a pair of beautiful feet.”Luo Shi said to Madam Xu.
Madam Xu was happy when she heard that.
"Mother, I'll go now." Madam Xu left like a gust of wind.
"Aiyo, Third Aunt Zhang's reputation for binding feet is like thunder. I want to broaden my horizons today.”
Madam Qian smiled and said," Mother really dotes on her granddaughter. She's willing to spend such a capital.”
"Even if there are lanterns in the surrounding villages, you won't be able to find an old man as kind as Grandma.”Fang Yan 'er also smiled apologetically.
"I'm actually a soft-hearted person with a sharp tongue. Only you guys understand me.”Luo also smiled.
"Xiner." Mrs. Qian turned to look at Fang Xiner and smiled." Why don't you take this opportunity to wrap your feet?"”
Xiner was stunned for a moment and hesitated.
Under all kinds of influence, Xiner actually wished that she had a pair of small feet, but she was also very afraid of pain, so she was very conflicted.
Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat. He naturally did not want Xiner to have her feet bound.
In his opinion, foot-binding was not beautiful at all. It was an ugly postnatal abnormality. Moreover, it was asking for trouble. It was not worth it.
"Then who will pay?" Fang Yun said deliberately.
He was certain that in Luo's eyes, foot-binding was a very decent benefit. Luo would never give Xiner this dignity, let alone spend money on her.
" Good child, come here. This silver hairpin of Eldest Aunt is also worth a few taels of silver…" As Madam Qian spoke, she pulled out a hairpin from her head.
No, it can't be. Fang Yun was speechless.
Xin 'er looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun believed in his own judgment, so he nodded at her.
" But I'm afraid of pain..." Xiner said.
She was really afraid of pain, but in the eyes of Madam Qian and the others, her eyes were clearly filled with desire, but also fear of not being able to get it.
Madam Qian and Fang Yan 'Er laughed.
"Don't worry about her. That hairpin of yours didn't come from the wind. With her personality, it was useless to wrap her feet. She would not be able to do anything.”Luo said.
Fang Yun tried his best to put on a disappointed expression, then pulled Xin 'er and ran out.
Fang Ru followed him out.
The three of them had just left the door of the upper room when they saw Madam Xu leading a woman in her forties.
The woman's triangular eyes first swept across Fang Ru and Xin 'er's faces before finally stopping at their feet.
Fang Yun felt Xin 'er's grip on his hand tighten. He turned his head and saw that Fang Ru's face had turned pale.
