……
This triangular-eyed woman should be the Third Madam Zhang that Luo had mentioned.
Was she that scary? Otherwise, why did Fang Ru look like she had seen a ghost?
"Madam Zhang." Fang Yun casually called out and pulled Xin 'er out of the way.
Aunt Zhang nodded, seemingly satisfied with Fang Yun's manners.
"This is the Fang family's Little Seven, Second Ya, and Sixth Ya. I haven't seen you for many days, and you've become much more beautiful.”Aunt Zhang said nice things, but when she looked at Fang Ru and Xin 'er's feet, she shook her head.
Fang Ru was ranked second among the girls in the Fang family, while Xin 'er was the youngest, ranked sixth.
"Aunt Ye, come in quickly. My mother is waiting for you…My Qian 'er is relying on Aunt Ye.”Madam Xu urged Aunt Zhang to enter the house.
Fang Ru quickly dragged Fang Yun and Xin 'er back to the west wing.
"Sis, why are you so scared?" Fang Yun asked.
Xiner's expression was not very good either.
"You're a boy. Of course, you don't have to be afraid.”Fang Ru patted her chest." Oh, you must have forgotten."”
"Is Madam Zhang very scary?" Fang Yun asked again.
"It seems that you have really forgotten. A few years ago, Sister Ju 'er from the west of the village was bound by Third Aunt Zhang. She was tortured to death and almost lost her life.”Fang Ru seemed to have thought of something terrifying and could not help but shiver.
"Binding your feet is indeed very painful, but it won't cost you your life, right?”Fang Yun said.
"It's possible that Aunt Zhang did it, especially at Qian-er's age. Just imagine breaking the sole of one's foot.”Fang Ru said.
"Sis, you don't want to wrap your feet?" Fang Yun smiled.
"When I was young…I didn't wrap myself up. Now that I'm older, I'm used to it. I think it's good this way. I've never thought of being a young mistress.”Fang Ru said.
She recalled Fang Yun's performance in the bedroom and asked again," Little Seven, you want Xiner to bind her feet?”
"I know that Second Brother doesn't want me to bind my feet.”Xin-er answered.
Fang Yun smiled and stroked Xiner's braids. Since there were no outsiders here, he did not hide it from Fang Ru.
"I don't want Xin-er to suffer like that! I was thinking, Grandma has never liked us. If we show that we don't want Xiner to be wrapped, what if Grandma insists on letting Xiner be wrapped?”Fang Yun said.
"Little Seven, why are you so smart?”Fang Ru smiled.
The three siblings sat on the brick bed and talked.
"…Sister Yan 'Er and Mei' Er both started wrapping themselves up when they were five years old. Qian 'Er is already nine years old. It's already too late to wrap herself up now.”Fang Ru said.
Fang Yun thought for a moment. He had never seen how a foot was wrapped, so he wanted to take a look.
"Little Seven, you want to go and see? I advise you not to go." Fang Ru said, seeing through Fang Yun's thoughts.
"Just take a look." Fang Yun said.
"Ru 'er, Little Seven, come and light the fire.”Madam Xu's voice came from outside.
"We're not going." Fang Yun stopped Fang Ru.
Madam Xu was lazy, and she always wanted to push the work that she should do to others.
The boys in the second branch were very wild. Other than coming back every day for dinner, they almost never touched the house. It was even more extravagant to let them work.
Madam Xu also said that Fang Qian 'er was young and refused to let her work. She liked to order him and Fang Ru around, as well as Madam Li and Fang Yao from the third branch.
"…I'm binding your sister's feet, and your grandma is asking you to cook.”Madam Xu didn't hear a reply, so she walked over to the west wing.
"I'll be right there." Fang Ru replied.
She turned around and smiled at Fang Yun." Let her be lazy. It's not much work. I'll go. Little Seven, you and Xin 'er stay in the house."”
Fang Yun smiled.
Fang Ru was very similar to Madam Yang. They were both hardworking people with good temperaments and rarely fussed over small matters.
Speaking of which, whether it was the adults or the children in the fourth branch, it just made him feel a little helpless.
However, if he had to choose a new identity, he would rather choose this room.
" I'll go too." Fang Yun got down from the brick bed." I'll go take a look."
"Then I'll go too." Xin-er said.
The three siblings chatted and laughed as they went to the upper room.
"Boil a pot of water for Qian 'er to use for her feet.”
As Madam Xu spoke, she glanced at Fang Ru and Xin 'er's feet. Then, she looked at her daughter who was preparing to wrap her feet. An invisible sense of superiority arose spontaneously.
"Second Aunt, you should go to the house and accompany Sister Qian 'er. Leave the water to me.”Fang Ru said.
Madam Xu nodded in satisfaction and went into the house.
Fang Yun and Xin 'er were busy making a fire under the stove. Fang Ru scooped a ladle of water from the water tank and poured it into the pot. She used a bamboo brush to brush the big iron pot.
After making sure that the pot was clean, he poured the dirty water away and rinsed it with clean water. Then, he scooped a full pot of water into the pot and covered it with a lid.
Fang Yun had started two fires, but they were both extinguished.
Starting a fire was not as simple as it looked. It still required some skill.
"Let me do it." Fang Ru smiled.
"Then I'll get you a stool." Fang Yun saw Fang Ru squatting down to light the fire, so she walked into the east room and brought a stool for Fang Ru.
Of course, he also wanted to see how Fang Qian 'er bound her feet.
