Chapter 6
"No, it's not."

Yan Funing took a small bundle and moved.

Inside the baggage were her clothes and no other luggage.

The two entered the house one after the other.

The house has not been inhabited for a long time, and even if the steps are gentle, a lot of dust is still raised, and the dust illuminated by the light also floats.

Yan Funing wanted to ask him why he didn't tell his family that she was the one who rejected his kiss, but seeing so much dust in the house, she had no choice but to shut up and clean it up.

I had just moved to the countryside, and although I didn’t have much luggage, it still took me a lot of time to pack it up.
-
noon.

Wan Niang blamed herself: "It's all my fault for being useless."

They came out of Fu's house without any rice or noodles, so they were starving.

"When I came out, I brought some steamed buns, and I'll have some for lunch." Fu Ciyi took out a cloth bag and put it on the table, "In the afternoon, I went to the mountains to collect firewood."

Grab some game by the way.

While talking, he first gave his mother a steamed bun.

Fu Beimo moved quickly, took one in each hand and started to chew.

Fu Nanyao took a steamed bun and put it in Yan Funing's hand: "Sister-in-law, eat it quickly."

Yan Funing: "Thank you!"

The weather is cold and the steamed buns have already frozen hard.

Fu Beimo only took a few bites and couldn't eat anymore. He shouted to collect firewood.

Wan Niang said: "I just ate the morning meal. It's fine if I'm hungry. It's just a pain for my daughter-in-law."

Although the daughter-in-law is not a biological daughter of the Yan family, she has been pampered since she was a child. She has suffered hardships since marrying her eldest son.Just thinking about it made her feel extremely distressed.

Yan Funing stammered, not knowing how to answer the question, she just said: "I'm not hungry."

It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem since ancient times, but her mother-in-law in name is really nice, soft-spoken and gentle-looking.

After a slight pause, Yan Funing said again: "I'm going to collect firewood too."

Afraid that someone would not take her with her, she raised her eyes to look at him.

Fu Ciyi didn't expect that she would meet his eyes like this.

He stood, looking at her in a high and low posture.

From this angle, he could easily see her expression.

Her eyelashes were thick and long, and her watery eyes stared at him unblinkingly, like a little fox begging for mercy...

Innocence mixed with cunning.

Just say that this woman has a purpose in everything she does, and now that she has nowhere to go, she starts to pretend to be pitiful in front of him?

But what surprised him was that her eyes were clear and clean.

"Just let their brothers go."

Wan Niang's words made the two people who were facing each other look away and each ate the cold steamed buns.

Yan Funing lowered her eyes and said, "If you have more people, you can pick up more. It's cold today and the firewood will burn quickly."

Only then did Wan Niang agree to let her go.

Before leaving, Fu Ciyi took a few strips of cloth and tied them together to prepare for bundling firewood.Yan Funing took out a basket from the woodshed and carried it on her back.

The two called Fu Beimo and walked into the mountains together.

The weather is cold, and there is almost no large firewood to collect on the hills near the village.

The three of them had no choice but to head into the mountains.

Fu Ciyi, who is tall and has long legs, walked in front, silent all the way.

Fu Beimo followed Yan Funing, kicking dry twigs on the ground as he walked, and kept mumbling: "...Sister-in-law, have you ever seen ants fighting?"

Yan Funing shook her head: "No."

"The fight between ants is really fun. Next time I'll get my sister-in-law to watch it too."

"it is good."

Fu Beimo said happily: "Brothers and sisters never agree to watch with me, it's better for my sister-in-law."

Fu Ciyi, who was walking in front, paused imperceptibly, "How is this girl?"
It's just an appearance.

He wanted to see how long she could perform?
The mountains are probably infested with wild animals and are inaccessible to humans.There was a lot of firewood on the ground, and the three of them picked up a lot after a while.

They piled the firewood together and tied it into bundles.

When the firewood was bundled into four piles, Fu Ciyi said coldly: "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Fu Beimo: "Oh."

Yan Funing: "Okay."

When Fu Ciyi's figure disappeared from sight, Yan Funing walked to the other side.

Fu Beimo followed her, thinking that she was still collecting firewood, so he said, "Sister-in-law's basket is too small to hold firewood."

Yan Funing patted the dust on her hands and said, "The basket on your back is not for holding firewood."

"What's that for?" Fu Beimo chased after him.

"Collecting mushrooms." Yan Funing stopped and looked around, "Look for any dead wood nearby. If you're lucky..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw a lying dead tree covered with wild oyster mushrooms.

Yan Funing ran quickly, picked off the flowers one by one and put them into the basket behind her.

Fu Beimo followed her example, picked it carefully, and put it into her backpack.

Soon the backpack was full.

Fu Beimo muttered: "I can't pretend anymore."

"It's okay, just keep some of the smaller ones and we'll pick them again next time."

When the two returned to the firewood pile, Fu Ciyi had not returned yet.

Yan Fu unpacked her backpack and squeezed her sore shoulders.This body is really delicate. Just carrying such a basket of mushrooms makes my shoulders sore.

Fu Beimo took some dead branches, squatted on the ground and pulled them, and suddenly shouted: "Sister-in-law, come and see, there are ants!"

Yan Funing moved her arms, walked to him, covered her skirt, and squatted down.

There were indeed a few ants on the ground.

"They didn't fight."

Fu Beimo said seriously: "Yes, they like to fight in groups."

Yan Funing said in surprise: "Your observation skills are very good."

Ants live in groups, and ants from different groups often clash, causing fierce fighting, just like two armies charging into battle.

The innocent boy in front of him could observe this, which was really impressive.

Being praised for the first time, Fu Beimo looked a bit like a teenager. He scratched his head and smiled shyly.

Others would only call him a fool, but his sister-in-law would praise him!

When Fu Ciyi came back, he saw the two of them squatting with their heads lowered and looking at the ground.

Hearing the footsteps, the two people on the ground raised their heads.

Yan Funing saw someone holding a pheasant in his hand, and he was clean and fresh, without any trace of the embarrassment left by catching the pheasant.

Isn't this person a weak scholar who can also catch pheasants?
Then I thought about it. In the book, he tied her up and put a knife blade against her face. Such characters are probably not weak.

Fu Beimo happily waved to his brother: "Brother, come and see the ants."

Fu Ciyi thought to himself: "Twilight is about to fall, let's go down the mountain."

Fu Beimo stuck out his tongue and made a face at his brother while he turned around.

The appearance was funny and innocent, making Yan Funing giggle.

Fu Ciyi turned around when he heard the sound, and his eyes sank slightly.

Yan Funing stopped laughing and picked up her basket, while Fu Beimo went to pick firewood honestly.

Fu Ciyi tied the pheasant to the firewood, picked up two heavy bundles of firewood, and led the way down the mountain.

When they were almost home, they saw the yard full of people.

A woman shouted: "Let's judge, are the people who occupy other people's yards a robber?"

Fu Nanyao's face turned red with anger: "What does occupation mean? This is our yard!"

The woman put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly: "This is my yard. My parents are going to use this yard to find me a son-in-law. Everyone in the village knows it!"
