The Little Lucky Star: Fubao's Determination

"Five yuan is a bargain! Our family's rice seeds for this year are all planted here, and they're struggling to sprout. You've crushed so much of it. My mom will have to go to town to buy new seedlings, and I'll have to replant them. If you don't pay up, then don't blame me for getting tough!"

Fu Bao's cheeks flushed with anger as she spoke up, "Uncle Hu, those seedlings you worked so hard to plant were crushed by her. She must compensate for it."

"Absolutely right! Fubao, you go on home and have your meal. Uncle Hu will handle this matter. When you come back, I'll have the money for you. And I'll even buy you some candy!"

Fu Bao beamed and thanked Uncle Hu warmly before heading home.

"Fu Bao indeed has a knack for it!" Hu Lao San remarked, his heart softened by Fu Bao's innocent charm.

Observing Hu Lao San's fond gaze, Mrs. Li promptly ushered Fu Bao and Li Xiaolei away. It's disheartening how there are always those with ulterior motives eyeing her granddaughter.

Nevertheless, Fu Bao's endearing nature brings joy to Mrs. Li's heart.

As Li Xiaolei walked alongside Fu Bao, he couldn't help but marvel at her words, "Fu Bao, your words seem like magic. You said Aunt Zhao would have bad luck, and it actually came true!"

Li Xiaolei found it astonishing, realizing his sister truly possesses an extraordinary gift!

"Our granddaughter is quite the little clever one," Mrs. Li remarked, amused by Fu Bao's ingenuity in convincing Hu San.

Curious, Mrs. Li questioned Fu Bao further, "How did you come to know about the Yintang turning black?"

Fu Bao's heart skipped a beat. Could her secret be on the verge of exposure? It seemed unfathomable. Even if she revealed herself to her grandmother and brother, they wouldn't believe her.

Thinking quickly, Fu Bao rolled her eyes playfully before responding with a smile, "I read about it in a few books in Grandpa's room."

Indeed, there were a few books in the old man's house, mostly related to fortune-telling and feng shui, reflecting the rural people's strong beliefs in superstition.

Mrs. Li expressed her surprise, "Really? Fubao can recognize the characters?"

Fubao confidently affirmed, "Yes! Big brother and second brother taught me to recognize a lot of characters, so I can do it!"

The old lady Li recalled that Li Xiaojun and Li Xiaoli had indeed been teaching Fubao to read, so she was pleased. She exclaimed, "Our little girl can read, she's quite promising! In another year, when you turn six, I'll send you to the town for elementary school. Fubao, you have to study hard, and when you become a college student, we'll all be so proud!"

"Grandma, I will!" Fubao eagerly looked forward to going to school. Having lived in the heavenly realm, she was now excited to experience the life of an ordinary child attending school. She was determined to become an educated little fairy!

Seeing Li Xiaolei looking at her with a longing expression, Fu Bao couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, Isn't fourth brother also going to school?"

When Li Xiaolei heard this, he quickly shook his head, "No, no, Fubao, I'm not going to school. The money is better used for you. I'll stay home and help Grandma."

Despite his desire to pursue an education, Li Xiaolei had already accepted his fate to inherit the family's land and become a farmer. In rural areas, there was always a need for someone to continue the family's agricultural work. Otherwise, the land might go to waste.

Fu Bao understood that Li Xiaolei was sacrificing for her sake. However, she was determined to find a way to ensure that Li Xiaolei also had the opportunity to go to school!
