Chapter 43 Stern Words
Not long after Yan Funing left the blacksmith shop, Tong Cheng came back.
Tong Ya happily raised the paper bag and showed it to him: "Dad, the benefactor sister gave me something to eat."
"Has the benefactor sister been here?"
Tong Cheng quickly walked out of the shop and looked along the road towards the town.
"Well, my benefactor sister said she was going home." Tong Ya swallowed, "Dad, I haven't eaten the candy my sister gave me yet. Can I have one now?"
Tong Cheng turned around and said happily: "Eat it."
Tong Ya took one, bit off half of it and put it in her mouth: "It's so sweet."

On the other side, Yan Funing returned to the village.
After the three villagers waiting for the bus got off the bus and walked away, she took out fifteen cents and gave it to Li, the driver.
"Five cents is the fare for the ride back, and ten cents is the cost of going to the house."
Li, the driver, only took five copper coins, and gave her ten coins back.
"The house is only a little way away, so there is no need to pay."
"Yes, the Tong family and my daughter can ride with me for ten cents. I think it is too little." Yan Funing He insisted, "Besides, Brother Li just went together and emboldened me. It's not too late for me to thank you."
Li, the driver, touched the back of his head and said sheepishly: "Then I'll take it?"
Yan Funing smiled: "Take it!" Then, he took out a pack of malt candies from his backpack, "Here, "This is a thank you gift."
"Huh?" Li Jing said, "Girl, you are too polite!"
Yan Funing put her basket on her back and trotted away, turning her head as she ran. Shouting: "Don't give it back to me, my basket is too heavy and I can't run."
The driver Li waved to her: "Run slower, I won't give it back to you."
Mother Li came out and saw her son coming back, so she asked casually: "How did you earn today?"
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, most of the villagers went to the county, but today there are fewer people going to the town." Li, the driver, opened the paper bag and saw it was candy. He smiled and said, "The young lady of the Fu family is a real person."
"The young lady of the Fu family? The daughter-in-law of Fu Wan's mother's family?"
< br>"Well, mother, do you know her?"
"The Hu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said that when they meet people from Fu Wan's mother's family in the future, they will scold them whenever they see them, especially her daughter-in-law."
"Mom, please don't fool around with the Hu family. That little lady is so nice. Here, she gave me the candy."
He handed one of the candy to his mother.
“Really?”
Mother Li couldn’t believe it and put the candy in her mouth.
“Of course it’s true. I earned twenty cash just by driving her today, and I also have this bag of candy.”
He dropped a candy into his mouth.
Mother Li ate something sweet and smiled, causing the wrinkles at the end of her eyes to deepen.
"It's so sweet. The little lady from the Fu family must be sweet too."
With such sweet candy, she would not listen to the Hu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and curse randomly.

Yan Funing returned home.
Because I had just jogged for a while, I was still panting now, and my pink face was dyed a thin red, as bright as a peach or plum.
After entering the courtyard, she shouted: "Mother."
Wan Niang heard this and was supported by Fu Beimo, and she left the east wing.
“Funing is back?”
"Well, mother, let's go to the main room to talk." Yan Funing took Wan Niang's arm and whispered, "I made a lot of money today."
Wan Niang was delighted when she heard this and called Fu Nanyao to go to the main room with her. .
Fu Ciyi was sitting at the window copying a book. Hearing her return, he raised his eyelids and lowered his eyes again to write.
The four of them entered the main room. Yan Funing put down her backpack, took out a silver ingot from her purse and put it in Wan Niang's hand.
“This is the money my husband got from the two Ganoderma lucidum picked, ten taels of silver.”
"Capable and capable, my daughter-in-law is capable!"
Touching the heavy silver ingot, Wan Niang had tears in her eyes. How could their family be in this situation without such a good daughter-in-law?
Excited, Wanniang shouted to the west wing: "Ciyi, come here quickly."
When Fu Ciyi entered the main room, Wanniang gave the silver ingot to He looked at it: "Your wife earned it."
Yan Funing said embarrassedly: "Mom, this is what my husband earned."
Wan Niang smiled and said: "You sold the Ganoderma lucidum, and you earned it."
Said, Let her keep the money.
Fu Ciyi said a faint "hmm", lifted up his robe and sat down.
At this time, Fu Nanyao saw that there were no clothes in the basket on his back, so he asked: "Didn't I ask you to buy clothes?"
Yan Funing explained: "There are no ready-made clothes shops in the town, but there are two cloth shops. I would like to discuss with you, why don't you make your own clothes by pulling the cloth?"
Fu Nanyao lightly snorted: "You don't Do you know how to sew? You don’t know how to sew, but why didn’t you buy the cloth for me?”
Wan Niang asked Fu Nanyao: “How did you talk to your sister-in-law?”
"Mom, why are you always protecting her?"
Fu Nanyao leaned on Wan Niang's shoulder like a baby.
Wan Niang shook her head and sighed: "Where can I protect you? It's clearly your words that are thorny."
Yan Funing was not annoyed at all. She took out two packs of malt candies from her backpack and gave one to Fu Beimo first.
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
Fu Beimo was so excited that he placed the whole bag of malt candies under Fu Nanyao’s eyes.
Fu Nanyao sat up straight, her face full of anger.
Yan Funing smiled and gave her the remaining bag of candy: "Can you teach me how to make clothes?"
"Then it depends on whether you are smart or not."
Fu Nanyao snatched it away. Ye Tang hugged her in front of her, for fear that Yan Funing would regret it.
"Silver ingots are not easy to spend in the town, so I didn't buy any fabric today." Yan Funing said with lingering fear, "I was afraid that someone would come to snatch the silver ingots, so I kept them in my purse. Because I went to sell them. I encountered a small situation when I was taking Ganoderma lucidum."
After saying this, there was a hint of crying in my voice.
Wan Niang heard it and grabbed her hand with both hands: "Funing, what's wrong? Tell mom quickly!"
"When I went to the medical center to sell Ganoderma lucidum, they were only willing to give 500 yuan a flower. . I thought the price was too low, so I wanted to leave, but they stopped me.”
She didn’t know how she managed to stay calm at that time.
Looking back now, I am very scared.
“There are many clerks in the medical clinic, and there are also people who look like thugs. They also said that they are the only medical clinic in the whole town, and there is no other place that will accept my Ganoderma lucidum.”
Hearing this, Wan Niang patted her heart in panic: "What happened next? How did you earn these ten taels of silver?"
"I made a lie and said that my husband was waiting for me outside, and they didn't stop me. Fortunately, I didn't stop her. I met a father and daughter..." Yan Funing gave a brief account of what happened, "Accompanied by the driver Li and the Tong family's father and daughter, I went to the house to sell Ganoderma lucidum to thank them, so I bought two more packs of malt candies. , I gave it to them as a thank you gift.”
“Oh, my daughter!”
Wan Niang was so distressed that she held Yan Funing in her arms with trembling hands.
“Mother!”
She had been controlling her tears well, but now she couldn't hold back when someone felt sorry for her.
Lying in Wan Niang’s arms, she shed two tears.
Yan Funing ordered herself to shed only two tears at this moment, no more.
Because her body is very delicate, once she starts crying, there will be no end.
Seeing this, Fu Ciyi frowned.
There was a cold look on his eyebrows, and his expression was hard to distinguish.
Wan Niang caressed Yan Funing's back lovingly, and suddenly said sternly to Fu Ciyi: "How do you become a husband?"
