He has a spatial ability and saves three children on his escape route.

Chapter 45 Leaving the Wang Family

"Thank you, sister," Fu Bao said with a grin, standing up and stomping her foot. She leaped into the air and landed smoothly on the tree where Wen Yuxia was.

"Wow, wow, wow, the little guy even knows kung fu!" Wen Yuxia said with satisfaction. "Fu Bao, how old are you this year?"

“Four years old,” Fu Bao said, holding up four fingers.

Wen Yunhong clapped his hands happily and said, "Fu Bao, I'm five years old this year. I'm the older brother, and you're the younger brother."

"Hello, brother. This is a gift for you. And this is for you, sister. Please take good care of me since it's our first meeting!" Fu Bao said earnestly, taking two jade pendants from her waist.

Wen Yunhong took the jade pendant, reached into his purse and took out a White Rabbit milk candy (without its wrapper) and two pieces of dried meat, saying, "Little brother Fubao, this is for you."

Fu Bao reached out and took the candy, put it in her mouth, and happily said, "It smells so good, it's so sweet, I love it, thank you, brother!"

Wen Yuxia sized up Fu Bao. Her clothes were made of silk, she wore a gold necklace, gold bracelets on her wrists, and several jade pendants hung from her waist.

“Fu Bao, it’s not safe for you to walk on the street dressed like that. If the villagers see you, they’ll strip you naked.”

Using her handbag as cover, Wen Yuxia took out a set of Wen Yunhong's old clothes from her spatial storage and had Fu Bao change into them.

Fu Bao cleverly took off all her gold necklace, gold bracelet, and jade pendant and handed them to Wen Yuxia, saying with her little mouth, "Sister, please help me put them away."

Wen Yuxia raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll keep these things and abandon you halfway through the journey?"

"My sister is a good person, she won't abandon me. As for these things, if you like them, you can have them all," Fu Bao said with a smile.

His father had said, "One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others." While changing his clothes, he had secretly put two silver notes from his pocket into his shoes. Once he entered the city, he could hire a bodyguard to take him to his maternal grandfather's house.

Wen Yunhong, with a serious expression, said, "Little brother Fubao, don't worry. A real man keeps his word. I said I'd take you with me, so I won't abandon you halfway."

……

Wen Yuxia listened patiently to the two little brats' back-and-forth conversation, and for the first time realized that her brother Wen Yunhong was actually a gangster.

"Fu Bao, take this water pouch with you. Drink whenever you're thirsty. Don't be stingy; we have plenty of water. Here's a purse for you too. It contains milk candy and dried meat. Eat it if you get hungry while traveling. Be careful not to let anyone see you eating."

"Sister, I understand," Fu Bao said happily, putting the purse into her pocket.

The milk candy and dried meat that Wen Yunhong gave him were especially delicious. Wen Yuxia didn't treat him like an outsider; she prepared a portion of milk candy and dried meat for him and even thoughtfully gave him a water pouch.

Fu Bao secretly decided that when they arrived in Nanzhou Prefecture, she would make sure her maternal grandfather helped Wen Yuxia settle down in the prefectural city, and also buy her a big house and a shop.

Wen Yuxia was unaware that a single act of kindness would bring her endless benefits in the future.

Leading Fu Bao back to where the Wang family was resting, Wang Wu frowned and asked, "Da Ya, why did you bring a child back?"

Wen Yuxia smiled and said, "Grandma, Fu Bao got separated from his family after encountering bandits. He went to Nanzhou Prefecture and traveled with us, so I brought him back."

Fu Bao obediently bowed and said, "Hello, Grandma."

Wang Wu sighed almost imperceptibly. No matter how sweet her words, it wouldn't work; the villagers wouldn't agree to let outsiders join in and take away their rations. Oh well, let the village chief and the others negotiate with Wen Yuxia.

Wang Ping and Wang Erzhu remained silent. Their thoughts echoed those of Wang Wushi: let the villagers handle the difficult tasks.

Wang Hu, not being so cunning, directly shouted, "Da Ya, this is Xiao Wang Village, not Da Wan Village... Just because your grandparents took pity on you and left you with the Wang family doesn't mean you can bring outsiders back to divide up the village's food rations..."

After Wang Dazhu and his wife died, Wang Hu harbored resentment towards Wen Yuxia and her brother, believing that they had brought bad luck to the Wang family, causing him to lose his parents.

At that moment, he forgot about the beef bones he had gnawed on that evening, and he forgot where the money in his house had come from. All he wanted was to drive Wen Yuxia and her siblings, along with Fu Bao, out of the Wang family and out of Xiaowang Village.

Wen Yuxia looked at Wang Hu in surprise. She had never known that Wang Hu harbored so much resentment towards her, nor did she know that the murder of Wang Dazhu and his wife by the thugs was her fault.

The Wang family members looked grim, but none of them spoke up to criticize Wang Hu. Presumably, what Wang Hu said was exactly what they were thinking.

Wen Yuxia said with some disappointment, "From today onwards, we will leave the Wang family. Whoever keeps what we have obtained before will keep it."

The "previously obtained" refers to the gold and silver ingots she found in the hidden compartment of the carriage.

At that time, the gold ingots were kept by her and Wang Ping, while the silver ingots were in the hands of Wang An, Wang Dazhu, Wang Dashu, Wang Ershu, and Wang Sanshu.

She was the one who collected the bodies of Wang An, Wang Dazhu, and Wang Sanshu after their deaths, and the silver ingots on their bodies also ended up in her hands.

She had initially stated that the profits would be divided equally among Wang Ping, Wang An, and herself. However, she was now very unhappy with Wang Ping and Wang Dashu's favoritism towards Wang Hu because she had brought Fu Bao back.

When she was unhappy, she naturally believed that whoever had the silver in their hands owned it. She deliberately brought up the matter in front of the villagers, confident that the Wang family wouldn't dare argue with her about the ownership of the silver.

Whether or not to tell everyone that Fu Bao could help the villagers settle in a wealthy county town in Nanzhou Prefecture depends on the attitude of Village Chief Wang and the villagers towards her bringing Fu Bao back.

Wang Ping said somewhat awkwardly, "Da Ya, Hu Zi is still young. He didn't mean what he said. Don't be angry. Grandpa's house will always be your and Xiao Qi's home."

"He was just a child, it was unintentional. How could you say such things, Grandpa? If my uncle was killed by the madmen, is that my fault too? If the villagers are killed by the madmen, should I be blamed for that as well?..." Wen Yuxia intended to tear things apart and make things clear.

Upon hearing Wen Yuxia say that the brown rice, taro, chestnuts, and beef the villagers had eaten along the way were all things she had found, Granny Zhang, who was watching the commotion, asked in surprise:

"Tiger's grandpa, the brown rice and chestnuts that he gave us to eat before were found by Daya."

The taro was found by Wen Yuxia in the woods, and the wild buffalo was brought back by Wen Yuxia. Everyone in Xiaowang Village knew this.

When Wang Ping gave the village chief the coarse rice and chestnuts, he only said it was for his family's food, but he didn't say that Wen Yuxia had found them.

They didn't tell the villagers who found the grain back then, wasn't it just so they could owe the villagers a favor? Now Wen Yuxia has made a big fuss about it.

Feeling humiliated, Wang Ping said impatiently, "That's right, Da Ya found all the food."
