Chapter 3
Although this was consistent with the food in memory, it was a bit different when I saw it with my own eyes. The original owner ate this kind of food every day, but when this kind of food was actually served on the table, Liu Man'er couldn't take a bite.

She smelled it and she felt like throwing up.

In fact, she actually turned around and found a corner to retch for a while.

When she came to the table again, everyone at the table looked at her like a monster, there was no way, she was the one who robbed the most meals on weekdays, and the children, especially the second child Ye Qing, looked at her the most. It's too late, but today she not only didn't grab it, but also only filled a small amount of soup.

This is really too strange, but when everyone turned their attention to Ye Yuan who was sitting next to her, they all understood again, presumably they saw the elder brother sitting beside her, so she restrained herself a bit, You know, she has always been afraid of big brother.

"Man'er, you are sick, eat more."

During this period, Fang advised her like this.

Liu Man'er nodded and said, "I know, mother, you should eat more."

"Hey, we, Man'er, have been ill for a while, but we are really more sensible." Fang was very relieved.

She has no money, so she can't marry her son a better wife. She bought such a silly woman for only five cents, and she accepted her fate. She wanted to teach her well and treat her better. There is always something to change.

Now, her efforts have finally paid off, so how could she be unhappy.

Liu Man'er knew Fang's thoughts, she smiled slightly, the original owner was a real piece of rotten wood, although she had a lot of strength, but she only wanted to eat, and always robbed these children, including her own brother Liu Fusheng, she would not Be modest.

Because she herself is a child with a lower IQ than ordinary people, everyone in the village calls her a fool, and often instigates her to do some silly things for fun.

Fang Shi is also a very face-saving person, with integrity and good conduct, but Liu Man'er is often instigated by others, sometimes very hungry, and even goes to steal things from other people's fields, which makes Fang really ashamed.

In the village, people came to the door from time to time, saying that something was lost in their house, and it was stolen by Liu Man'er.

But at this moment, the meal was half eaten, so by coincidence, someone came to the door. It was a woman with curvy willow eyebrows, thin lips, and a little powder on her face. Liu Man'er's family was just low. She didn't even say hello to the fence gate, she just stepped over it and came to the hall.

Seeing that Liu Man'er's family was eating, she didn't feel embarrassed, she opened her mouth and said, "Oh, it's time to eat, our family lost a pair of shoes, come to your house and ask."

"What kind of shoes?" Fang glanced at Liu Man'er and asked.

"Xinna's laminated bottoms were left to dry in the yard, but when I came back from work in the afternoon, the shoes were gone." The woman's tone was a bit contemptuous, her lips opened and closed, implying that Liu Man'er stole the shoes.

"Man'er, did you take Aunt Osmanthus's house..." Mrs. Fang heard the woman's words, and immediately interrogated Liu Man'er.

According to her old habits, she would coax Liu Man'er to take out the shoes with nice words, for example, coaxing her to cook her eggs and so on.

However, today, Liu Man'er interrupted her. She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said with cold eyes, "Auntie, you lost your shoes. What are you looking for at our house?"

"What are you looking for? I said silly mother, you took my aunt's shoes this afternoon, please return them quickly?!" The woman put her hands on her hips, with a look of disgust on her face, she looked at Liu Man'er as if she was determined Liu Man'er was the one who stole her shoes.

Liu Man'er has never been seen like this, especially being wronged as a thief, or stealing a pair of mille-feuille-dener shoes, is she worthy of such a thing?

However, the original owner did have a criminal record, and it was precisely because of this that other people came to Liu Man'er's house as soon as they lost their shoes.

As soon as Liu Man'er turned her head, she saw Fang's. She didn't want to make things big, so she looked at Liu Man'er expectantly, hoping that Liu Man'er could hand over the shoes.

But she saw the eyes of the four children opposite. There were fear and disdain in those eyes, but there was no respect for her as the elder sister-in-law.

Ye Yuan at the side had faint disgust and anger on his face. Obviously, as a normal man, he was very unwilling to marry such a woman, who would embarrass him or even destroy his family tradition.

It's just that my mother is worried about him. After all, the drudgery of being a soldier and fighting a war is precarious.

That's why he endured it.

He doesn't spend much time at home on weekdays, because he is a soldier in the state capital, so he can come back once a year, each time for a month. If he had been at home last year, he must have been unable to bear it.

In fact, everyone misunderstood him. After all, the soldiers in the state capital were very different from the soldiers who stayed in the frontier all year round. Basically, as long as there were no major incidents, there was no danger to their lives.

It's just because the Liang Dynasty has only been established for 30 years. The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the people have just settled down. They think that being a soldier is a matter of losing their heads.

That's why no one will marry their daughter to Ye Yuan. In fact, Ye Yuan is not bad. In fact, he is tall, has a square face, is somewhat handsome, and has great strength. The conditions are pretty good.

It's just that it's a pity that he was born at an untimely time, and he couldn't even marry a better woman.

Liu Man'er looked at Ye Yuan, and couldn't help thinking too much.

When the woman saw Liu Man'er's dull eyes again, she felt even more disgusted, especially when she saw the food at Liu Man'er's house, she couldn't help but burst out, "No wonder a pair of shoes is also stolen. They all eat this."

As soon as these words came out, Fang's face changed instantly. She knew that her family was poor, but she was a face-saving person.

So she didn't want Aunt Osmanthus to stay at home for too long, and she didn't want her to comment on her home, so she became stricter to Liu Man'er, "Man'er, return the shoes to Aunt Osmanthus."

"But I didn't take it!" Liu Man'er's tone was very calm, and she said methodically, "I've been lying in bed this afternoon, how could I have a chance to get your shoes? What's more, it's just a pair As for shoes, even if I am barefoot, I don’t mind wearing other people’s shoes.”

Aunt Osmanthus laughed when she heard this:

"Tch, listen, your silly mother is still growing up now, you don't care about other people's things, so you used to steal other people's corn? I remember you also stole the clothes of the chrysanthemums in our village, and now you actually Say you are not rare!"

When she said this, she looked at the spectators coming from the village, meaning that she wanted everyone to comment.

There is nothing to talk about after dinner in the village, and now, there is finally something exciting to watch, and almost all the people nearby come over, stand outside the door, and look inside.

"Yes, I used to steal from Aunt Chrysanthemum, and even from most people in the village, but I have never stolen shoes." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, brushing off the messy hair on her head. Soothing, "Do you know why?"

"Why?" Aunt Osmanthus hadn't spoken yet, but someone outside started booing.

These people didn't want to help Liu Man'er, they just wanted to hear what this silly lady could say, to add a little more fun to their boring life.

Even Aunt Osmanthus looked like she was enjoying the show, but she really wanted to hear what this Liu Man'er could say.

"Because my mother told me that you can't wear other people's shoes, especially broken ones." Liu Man'er said with a proud face, "So you go to other people's homes to have a look, I can't steal broken shoes."

"What broken shoes, please explain clearly!" Aunt Osmanthus was furious when she heard the word broken shoes, she stood up immediately, and wanted to hit Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er quickly hid behind Ye Yuan, pointed at her and said, "Your shoes are broken shoes. Not long ago, I heard your mother-in-law say it with my own ears. It's still fake!"

When the villagers outside heard Liu Man'er's words, they couldn't help laughing.

Aunt Osmanthus felt ashamed and flustered.

This Aunt Osmanthus, the man in the family runs a grocery store in the town, and her living conditions are much better than most of the villagers. She has always loved beauty and likes to put on some powder, but her mother-in-law doesn't like it. Inadvertently, when the two were quarreling, her mother-in-law cursed like this, but unexpectedly, Liu Man'er took it down.

"Since my Man'er said so, she definitely won't take the shoes." Fang felt that Liu Man'er's words made sense, so she didn't care what Aunt Osmanthus thought, with a face full of relief, she walked to Liu Man'er's side , just like coaxing a child, said:
"Man'er, from now on, whether it's shoes, clothes, or food, we won't be able to take from other people's homes, you know? Even if our family is poor, we must have ambition!"

"En!" Liu Man'er nodded heavily, and said, "I will definitely not take other people's things in the future!"

"That's good, my boy."

In fact, every time Liu Man'er took something and was found out, she would say this, but in fact, she never changed it. However, every time Fang would praise her like this.

But every time the villagers lost something, they would still look for her!

"I'm here to make it clear that in the future, I will never take anything from other people's house again!" Liu Man'er said to the people outside the door.

"You say you won't take it, but you might still take it when the time comes." The villagers didn't quite believe what Liu Maner said, but it would be a good thing if Liu Maner really didn't take their things.

After all, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Because of Liu Man'er, now everyone has some good things, and they dare not hang them in the yard.
