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

The aroma of cornmeal porridge wafted from the kitchen.

Wu Shaoli stood in front of the stove, an apron tied around her waist, and slowly stirred the pot with a long-handled wooden spoon.

She changed into a clean blue shirt today, and her hair was tied into a thick braid that hung down in front of her chest, making her look very energetic.

Fang Wei squatted at the kitchen door, wiping his face with a towel while glancing at his wife.

"What are you looking at now?"

Wu Shaoli didn't turn her head, but as if she had eyes in the back of her head, she asked directly.

"I didn't see anything."

Fang Wei draped the towel over his shoulder and grinned as he approached.

"I've been thinking, what good deeds did I do in my past life to be able to marry such a beautiful wife like you?"

"Speaking such nonsense so early in the morning!"

Wu Shaoli rolled her eyes at him and tapped him on the head.

"Go and wake the girls up for breakfast. Didn't you say you were going to the old forest farm with your older brother today? Eat and then go, don't keep them waiting!"

Yesterday, after Fang Wei came back and said that his older brother had agreed to help him with the work, Wu Shaoli was so excited that she didn't go to bed until late at night.

If it weren't for the fact that she felt it wasn't appropriate to go to someone's house so early in the morning, she would have gone straight to her sister-in-law first thing this morning!

"Yes, sir!"

Fang Wei stood at attention, saluted, and ran out.

The older girls were already up.

Daya squatted in the yard washing Siya's face, while Erya and Sanya chased after the old hen in the house.

Wuya and Liuya sat on the doorstep rubbing their eyes, while the youngest Qiya was still wrapped in a blanket, with only her round little head peeking out.

"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!" Mm.

Fang Wei clapped his hands and shooed the girls into the main room, "Go sit down, you'll have eggs for breakfast this morning!"

"There are eggs!"

Er Ya and San Ya immediately stopped chasing the old hen and ran as fast as they could into the main room.

The family sat down around the small table.

Wu Shaoli brought out the porridge and gave each of them an egg. The girls ate with beaming smiles.

They never even dared to dream of having breakfast like this before!

Fang Wei finished his bowl of porridge in a few gulps, stood up and wiped his mouth: "Honey, I'm going to find my older brother. If we don't come back for lunch, please take the food over there."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Wu Shaoli looked up at him, her face showing a softness she herself didn't realize.

Fang Wei's heart skipped a beat. He quickly reached out and touched her face before turning and running away.

"Fang Wei! You shameless bastard!"

Behind them came Wu Shaoli's angry curses and the giggling of her daughters.

"boom--"

Just then, the gate to the Fang family's courtyard was suddenly kicked open, startling Wu Shaoli and her daughters.

"What are you doing?!"

Fang Wei's face darkened, and he immediately rushed forward to block the entrance to the courtyard.

Xu Rui walked at the front with a stern face, followed by Zhao Laosan and Mei Yan.

Zhao Laosan had a gloating smile on his face, while Mei Yan's hair was disheveled and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying for a long time.

Behind them were Village Chief Zhou and the other village committee members, as well as a group of villagers who had come to watch the excitement.

Men, women, young and old—everyone was there, craning their necks to look in this direction, their faces showing a mixture of curiosity and excitement.

Fang Wei frowned.

Why did this scene seem so familiar to him?

Why does that bastard surnamed Xu always put on such a show whenever he comes to my house?!

No way! He has to pay for the damage to the gate later!

"What are you doing?"

Xu Rui sneered and said, word by word, "Fang Wei, it's time to settle the score for what you've done!"

After saying that, he shoved Fang Wei aside and led Zhao Laosan and Mei Yan straight into the courtyard.

The villagers who had been watching also rushed over, instantly surrounding the Fang family's small courtyard.

Wu Shaoli shielded her daughters behind her, her face grim as she looked at the group of people who had barged in.

"Xu Rui, what do you mean by this?"

Fang Wei stood in front of his wife and daughters, and asked with a cold face.

"ah--"

Before Xu Rui could speak, Mei Yan suddenly let out a howl.

She suddenly fell to the ground, kicking her legs wildly and pounding the ground with her hands, all the while crying out in pain.

"Waaaah—Fang Wei, you heartless beast—"

Mei Yan's cries were sharp and drawn-out, as if she had been stabbed with a knife.

The villagers, who only knew that Fang Wei had gotten into trouble again but not what exactly it was, were all startled and began to whisper among themselves.

"Why did Mei Yan come to Fang Wei's house to cause a scene?"

"Didn't you hear her cursing Fang Wei?! She's here to settle a debt of gratitude!"

"I almost forgot, Fang Wei used to hang out with that woman Mei Yan all the time!"

"Judging from Mui Yan's attitude, could it be that she's caused someone's death?"

"Shh! Don't talk! Don't talk!"

Hearing the surrounding whispers, Mei Yan cried even harder, accusing, "Fang Wei! You heartless beast!"

"What did you say to me back then? You said you liked me, you said you wanted to spend your life with me, you said you'd divorce your wife and marry me once you made money!"

"I was foolish enough to believe your nonsense!"

"You...you not only deceived me with your body, but you also got me pregnant!"

As Mei Yan finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out a gray vest from her bosom and held it high in the air so that everyone around could see it.

"Look, everyone! Look, everyone! This is the vest Fang Wei used to wear! This is what he left at my house after he slept with me!"

"He's rich now! Now that he's made money, he wants to turn his back on us!"

"I went to his place to demand an explanation, and he actually beat me up and threw me out!"

"He also said that if I dared to come looking for him again, he would beat me to death! He would kill the baby in my belly too!"

Mei Yan cried her eyes out, looking like a pitiful woman who had been toyed with and cruelly abandoned by Fang Wei.

"Fang Wei, you heartless bastard! You started something and then abandoned me! You deserve to die a horrible death!"

Upon hearing these words, the surrounding villagers were all outraged.

No one expected that coming to watch the excitement today would lead to such a shocking scene!

"My God! Fang Wei actually did something like this?!"

"I knew it! Fang Wei was never home before; when he wasn't gambling, he was definitely out with women!"

"Anita Mui is pregnant, is it really true?"

"That's hard to say. Who knows whose child that slut Mei Yan is carrying? Maybe she doesn't even know herself!"

"You can't say that. What man doesn't own a gray vest?"

"That's right. Even if the vest belongs to Fang Wei, it doesn't necessarily mean he slept with Mei Yan. What if he stole it?"
