Man Bao wrinkled his face and began to think.

Old Zhou was quite anxious, "Man Bao, if something about your father happens, will our family members and you be accused? And the people in the village, everyone will help hide it. The county magistrate will Won't you arrest everyone?"

Man Bao asked, "Does the whole village know?"

Old Zhou nodded, "Everyone who is older knows it. When your father came back, it was very lively. Everyone came to our house to join in the fun."

Man Bao thought for a while and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, even if you are hiding the fugitive, there are so many people who committed the crime, so you should arrest the chief criminal, such as the village elder brother and the village head grandpa, as well as father and elder brother."

Old Zhou Tou was not comforted at all, he covered his chest and said, "What's so great about this?"

Knowing the truth, Man Bao relaxed a lot, and asked her mother again and again, "Mother, are you sure, is my father really not a bad person?"

Qian Shi nodded without thinking, "Sure!"

Man Bao clenched his fists and said: "Then don't be afraid, don't worry, the county magistrate Tang is investigating the case now, he is smart, his heart is not bad, he will not be a foolish official, my father is not a bad person, then We need to find out who killed him."

Qian couldn't help but sat up straight, held her hand and asked, "So this is still a good thing, isn't it?"

Man Bao nodded, "Yes."

Old Zhou was very skeptical, "Could it be that they are the same as the previous officials, rushed up and said your father is a bandit, and then took us all away?"

Man Bao said: "No, when I return to Yizhou City, I will go to Tang County Magistrate and ask him to help investigate this case. Unfortunately, County Magistrate Yang has gone back to Beijing to get married. Come back, fortunately County Magistrate Tang is very good at solving cases, I heard from Mingli who is close to him that he is much better at solving cases than County Magistrate Yang."

Old Zhou Tou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

After talking about important matters, the room fell silent.

Old Zhou looked at his daughter shyly and said, "Man Bao, although you were not born by me, the blood on our body is still the same, and my father still loves you as before, so don't take it to heart, you know?" ?”

"I know, Dad."

Old Zhou Tou was finally relieved when he heard the "Father", he took her hand with his rough palm, patted and said, "Man Bao, your father is younger than your elder brother and elder sister, Your mother and I were raised as sons, and you were also raised by us. It’s not easy to poop and pee. Dad loves you the most. I'll live with you big brother, I'll live with you, I'll show you the children, when we get old and can't move, we'll let your brothers carry us over to take care of us until we die..."

Qian glanced at him and said, "What are you doing talking about?"

"Why can't you say it? Am I not doing this to reassure Manbao? Let her know that no matter whether she is our own or not, we love her the most."

"Do you love her the most?" Qian said angrily, "When did the family say they were going to find a son-in-law for Man Bao? Who can be a good person who can be a son-in-law?"

"Why isn't he a good person? The second child is also a door-to-door son-in-law, isn't he a good person?" Old Zhou Tou said: "Man Bao is so capable and has such a temper, who is worthy of her outside? Go outside, what if someone bullies you? Why not choose a good-looking son-in-law, and then build a house near the left, with her six brothers watching, who would dare to bully her?"

"You still want to keep her in the village? Manbao has read so many books, and Mr. Zhuang said that she has a bright future in the future. How can you think of keeping her in the village..."

The couple immediately quarreled.

Man Bao looked at his father and then at his mother, then quietly slipped out of bed and ran away, leaving them to quarrel.

Man Bao ran back to her room and climbed back to the bed. She was still very calm, but after she calmed down, her heart began to pound. She was still a little dazed, so she really wasn't her parents' child?

Man Bao scratched her head, wanting to talk to someone, so she turned to Keke, "Keke, my father is not my father, and my mother is not my mother."

Keke let out a "hmm", and seeing that the host hadn't spoken for a long time, he asked, "And then?"

Man Bao: "Don't you think it's amazing?"

Keke: "I don't think so."

Man Bao: "Forget it, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to talk to Bai Shan."

She turned her head and looked out of the window, expecting: "I don't know when it will be dawn, I still want to pay respects to them, I didn't know that my uncle was my father, let alone my mother was buried there. "

After doing some calculations, Keke said, "Nine hours and thirty-eight minutes until dawn."

Man Bao lay down silently, pulled up the quilt to cover himself, put his hands on his stomach and said, "Wake me up in eight hours."

Keke wrote it down, so he woke up Manbao before dawn.

Man Bao got up and put on his clothes, looked at the fog outside, heard the movement from the other side of the compound, knew that the sister-in-law must be up, so she shrank her neck and crawled over.

Xiaoqian and Feng had already gotten up to make breakfast and boil water, and seeing Manbao slipping over, Xiaoqian hurriedly took her little hand, seeing that it was still warm, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Why do you wake up so early? It's not daylight yet."

"I'm going out to look for Shanbao in a while."

"That doesn't have to be so early, maybe Master Shan hasn't woken up yet."

Feng Shi smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to wash your face with hot water?"

Man Bao nodded.

Feng filled her with hot water in a wooden basin, "Go and wash up quickly, put on more clothes, it's only February, and it's still very cold."

Man Bao held the tub but did not leave, and asked, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you going to a temple fair at home today?"

Feng Shi: "Go, everyone in the family will go."

Xiaoqian thought for a while and said, "Father and mother may not be going this year. Yesterday mother asked me to collect the incense. It should be for us to burn incense."

Man Bao said, "I'm not going either."

Feng looked at her strangely, "Didn't you just go to the temple fair when you came back? Why didn't you go?"

Man Bao scratched his head and said, "I'm going, but I won't go so early, I have to talk to Shan Bao and see if he will go or not."

Mrs. Feng didn't know about their scholars, so she nodded and said: "All right, but after a while, my mother will get up, so you have to tell her."

Man Bao nodded, turned around and pulled Xiao Qian out.

Little Qian asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, please pack some incense paper money for me."

"What do you want incense paper money for?"

Man Bao lowered his voice and said, "Go and offer incense to my parents."

Xiaoqian looked at her in surprise, not sure if she really knew, or if she was lying to her.

Man Bao didn't look up at her, just sighed blindly: "My father just pays back, he kowtows to him every year, and invites him to eat and drink with his grandparents, but my mother never invites him, so I'm going to have a look."

Xiaoqian opened her mouth, nodded after a while and said: "Okay."
