Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

Upon hearing Fang Wei's words, both Fang Qiang and Zhou Li were momentarily dazed.

Three years after their miscarriage, they finally had a child again!

But after the child was born, he was always very weak, and the couple worried themselves sick over it, which is why they looked much older than other people their age.

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

Seeing their expressions, Fang Wei pressed his advantage.

"I know my nephew isn't in very good health, but if you can earn more money, you can take him to a big hospital for a proper check-up."

"Just because the doctors in the town can't cure it doesn't mean the doctors in the big hospitals can't!"

"...Fang Wei."

Fang Qiang finally spoke, his voice not as cold as before, but it was not friendly either.

No matter how sweet your words sound now, I won't believe you anymore.

"Take your things, I'm not doing any work for you."

Fang Wei had anticipated these words before he arrived.

If the sins he committed in the past could be forgiven simply by kneeling and saying a few heartfelt words, that would be far too simplistic.

Fang Wei didn't persist in pestering them. He stood up from the ground and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I want to apologize to you again."

"Since we've already brought the food, there's no reason to take it back. Even if you don't eat it, you can give it to my nephew to help him recover."

"As for the work, I hope you can reconsider it carefully, brother."

After saying that, he put the things on the ground, turned around and ran away.

"Fang Wei! You stop right there! Take your things away!"

Hearing the shouts behind him, Fang Wei ran even faster.

Fang Wei stood at the entrance of the courtyard and glanced down at the bag on the ground.

Zhou Li walked to her husband's side, frowning, and said, "Daqiang, what exactly is Fang Wei trying to do?"

Who knows?

Fang Qiang picked up the bag from the ground, opened it, and saw that, just as Fang Wei had said, there was a sizable piece of meat, a White Rabbit milk candy, and a bottle of oil inside.

He had originally planned to return the things to Fang Wei's house, but when he thought about the last thing Fang Wei said, he began to hesitate.

He and Zhou Li didn't care about the small amount of money, but if it could help their son improve his health...

"...Stay."

Zhou Li patted her husband's arm and said softly, "Even if we don't eat it, we can give it to the child."

She knew that Fang Qiang, as the older brother, even if he said harsh words, still wanted to give his bastard younger brother a chance.

Fang Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no more sound behind him.

Although Fang Qiang didn't immediately agree to help, and didn't even say a kind word to him, the fact that the other party didn't chase after him to put the things back was already a sign of his agreement.

He believed that as long as he persisted, he would definitely be able to persuade his older brother!

……

"Dad, Mom, I already told you that when you come to see Daya and the others, you shouldn't bring any more things."

Looking at her parents, Wu Shaoli explained with a headache, "Things aren't as Xu Rui said. Fang Wei really has a plan in mind after contracting that old forest."

"And he hasn't gambled these past few days; he's been going up the mountain to get food every day."

"He also bought White Rabbit milk candy for Da Ya and the others, and new fabric too!"

"Please stop worrying, okay?"

"We're just worried about you and Da Ya!"

Wu Xiaoqin took a sip of water and said with some dissatisfaction, "What Xu Rui said was so scary that your dad and I haven't been able to sleep well for the past two days."

"Because you haven't come to see us for a while, that's why I couldn't make this trip!"

As she spoke, she carefully examined her daughter.

Seeing that her daughter's expression was no longer as bad as before, she wasn't nervous when she and her husband suddenly came to visit.

Moreover, the granddaughters didn't look like they used to, always with serious little faces; they all looked very happy.

Wu Xiaoqin felt that most of what Wu Shaoli said was true.

"It's really nothing."

Wu Shaoli originally wanted to find an opportunity to take her daughters to visit her parents, but they didn't expect them to come to her door on their own initiative.

"You probably don't know yet, but Fang Wei went up the mountain this morning and hunted a big wild boar and a few piglets. He specially kept one to eat at home."

"Perfect timing, Mom and Dad, you can have dinner here today before you go back."

"No, no! It's too late!"

Wu Xiaoqin quickly declined, saying, "Your father and I came here just to put our minds at ease. Seeing that you and your granddaughters are doing well, we'll stay a little longer and then head back."

She and her husband weren't short of meat.

My daughters and granddaughters are finally living a little better and can eat some meat, so how could they possibly stay for a meal?

"It's not too late."

After thinking it over, Wu Shaoli immediately decided, "After dinner, I'll have Fang Wei take you home!"

"Oh, no need, no need!"

Wu Xiaoqin waved her hand, and seeing that her daughter insisted on having her and the old man stay for dinner, she said, "If you really want to eat, we won't wait until then."

"Heat up the food now, and we'll eat when Fang Wei gets back. After we finish eating, your dad and I will leave, so there's no need to trouble him to deliver it."

"Your mother is right."

Wu Faguo nodded and said in a deep voice, "There's no need to cook anything. Just heat up the leftovers."

Wu Shaoli thought about it and decided that this would work.

There was quite a bit of leftover food from lunch, and it was all left directly in the pot instead of being served in bowls, so it was almost as good as fresh food.

"Okay, I'll go heat up the food now."

She had barely finished speaking when a middle-aged woman dressed in floral print and with makeup on her face walked into her yard.

"Ouch!"

As soon as the middle-aged woman entered the room, she ignored Wu Xiaoqin and Wu Faguo and started yelling at Wu Shaoli.

"Shaoli, wonderful news! Wonderful news indeed! I've come to bring your family great fortune!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shaoli immediately frowned.

He recognized the woman; she was Zhang, the matchmaker from the next village.

I heard he's famous for his acting skills in the surrounding area, specializing in matchmaking. He's so good with words that he can talk the dead back to life and the living to death.

"Aunt Zhang, is there something you need?"

Her family consists entirely of little girls, only a few years old. What kind of happy occasion could there be that would require a matchmaker to come knocking on their door?

Upon seeing Matchmaker Zhang, Wu Faguo and Wu Xiaoqin immediately became wary and asked directly, "Matchmaker Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

"Is there some happy occasion in my daughter's family that I need you to tell me?"

"Ouch!"

Matchmaker Zhang deliberately covered her mouth and giggled sweetly.

"Who in these surrounding villages doesn't know me, Zhang the Matchmaker? If someone has asked me to personally arrange something, it must be incredibly joyous!"
