Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before Grandma Mao could shut up, the door to the courtyard was pushed open from the outside. The ones who walked in were the mother and daughter whom she had been scolding the whole day.

She stretched out her hand, and Grandma Mao immediately revealed her true form. “I’m giving you face, right? Ah, you actually went out for a walk without my permission.”

What followed was a long string of unsightly curses.

Mao Xiaoyu was not angry. She wanted to see how long this old hag could continue scolding.

“That’s enough, old woman!” Grandpa Mao had walked out of the house.

Looking at Grandpa Mao’s expression, it was obvious that he hated Mao Xiaoyu and her mother. However, he went against his will and stopped Grandma Mao.

“It’s all your fault today. Why didn’t you tell your family when you left? Don’t you know that your mother and I would be worried?” Grandpa Mao acted as if he was a good person.

“Grandpa, we didn’t have a choice. Grandma didn’t allow us to enter the kitchen, but we can’t starve to death. We went to town early in the morning and bought two sets of chopsticks.” Mao Xiaoyu waved the little cloth bag in her hand.

Did he think that she was stupid and easy to fool? It was impossible for him to be worried about them!

If you have the ability, go out and shout this and see if anyone in the village believes it!

Mao Xiaoyu’s mouth twitched as she cursed in her heart.

“Your grandma was angry because of you guys. That’s why you guys came so late today, and she was worried!” Grandpa Mao was lying through his teeth.

Mao Xiaoyu was too lazy to argue with them. “Since Grandpa and Grandma are so concerned about us, they must have left us some food. we haven’t eaten all day! ”

After saying that, Mao Xiaoyu even touched her stomach, showing a hungry expression.

“No, you want to eat my food? Dream on!” Grandma Mao blurted out subconsciously. She did not even notice the way Grandpa Mao was glaring at her.

Mao Xiaoyu shrugged her shoulders at the old man. “Grandpa, look at Grandma. Does she look like she’s concerned about us?”

Without even looking at the two old people, Mao Xiaoyu pulled Liu Xianniang’s hand and went back to her room.

If they had the time to talk nonsense, they might as well go back to their rooms.

After walking for more than an hour back home, her feet were also a little tired!

Rong Xiang had been waiting outside the window for a long time. When he heard the movement in the room, he reached out and knocked on the window frame. “Xiaoyu!”

“Hey, Brother Rong, wait!” Mao Xiaoyu ran two steps and opened the window.

“You take the pot!” Rong Xiang reached out and handed the iron pot in from the window.

Seeing that Mao Xiaoyu had received it with both hands, he said, “I’ll take my leave first. If you want to go up the mountain tomorrow, come and find me before seven!”

“Wait a moment!” Mao Xiaoyu turned around and ran back to the ‘small kitchen’. A few seconds later, she came back with a plate of spiced beef.

“Take this, it’ll be good for dinner!”

“I have food at home. You and Auntie can eat this.” Rong Xiang shook his head.

He did not even need to look to know that it was the sauced beef she had bought in town.

“My mother and I only need one serving. It’ll go bad if we don’t eat it!” She threw the package into Rong Xiang’s arms and closed the window without waiting for him to react.

After taking the pot to the ‘kitchen’, Mao Xiaoyu finally realized the difference in the house.

“Mother, they’ve turned our house over!” This was an affirmative sentence.

Because those lazy people did not even bother to cover it up. The drawers, cabinets, and bedding in the room were all in a mess.

As soon as she entered the house, she began to clean up the borrowed bowls, chopsticks, and iron pot, planning to return them in a while.

Hearing her daughter’s shout from the back room, she quickly walked in.

The room was in a mess, even the clothes she had washed were all scattered on the ground.

In an instant, the good mood of the day was gone. Liu Xianniang’s eyes turned red with grievance. She leaned against the wall and wiped her tears silently.

“Mother, take a look and see if you’ve lost anything!” Mao Xiaoyu did not expect Liu Xianniang to have such a big reaction.

She had originally thought that this family was very poor and was least afraid of thieves.

But looking at her mother’s reaction, it did not seem to be the case!

Liu Xianniang wiped her tears and shook her head. There’s nothing in the house that can be stolen.

“Then what’s there to cry about?” Mao Xiaoyu heaved a huge sigh of relief.

“They won’t let us go. They know that without your father, we won’t have anything valuable. They’re just trying to bully me!”

Before she could finish her words, Liu Xianniang’s sadness came again, and her tears could not stop flowing.

“Mother, just bear with it for a few more days. One day, we’ll have to split up with them.” Mao Xiaoyu consoled.

“Will it work if we split?” Liu Xianniang felt that this was impossible.

She knew her mother-in-law’s personality very well over the years. She did not think that her mother-in-law would let her go so easily.

“Why not? I’m waiting for them to do it themselves. When they continue to bully us stupidly, I’ll go to the Village Chief to reason with him.” In order to distract her mother’s attention, Mao Xiaoyu told her about her plan to split the family.

After being interrupted by her daughter, Liu Xianniang really stopped crying. Right now, all she wanted was to separate from the family. They had absolutely nothing to offer her.

“Mother, you rest for a while. I’m going out for a while!” Mao Xiaoyu helped her mother.

The matter of the house being turned over could not be settled so easily. Since the other party did not want her to have an easy time, then she had to make a scene.

“Don’t go, be careful they don’t bully you!” How could Liu Xianniang not know what her daughter was going to do? She was worried.

There was not a single good person in the entire family. Her daughter was so small, how could she beat them?

“Mother, don’t worry. I’m not going to fight with them. You can just watch the show!” Mao Xiaoyu walked out of the room after giving her instructions.

It was time for dinner, but the courtyard of the Mao family was unusually quiet. Even Mao Lishi and Mao Zhushi were nowhere to be seen.

“What the hell is this?!” Mao Xiaoyu mumbled to herself.

The situation was so abnormal that Mao Xiaoyu subconsciously lightened her footsteps.

In the house, Grandpa Mao was currently in a rage.

“You’re such a miser. Did I not tell you to be more obedient these days?” Grandpa Mao was actually a hot-tempered man. It was just that he was old now and there were more and more juniors in his family, so he had to hide his temper.

Now that his wife was trying to ruin his plan, Grandpa Mao could not suppress his temper.

“Mother didn’t do it on purpose,” Mao Lishi said in a low voice.

In fact, she did not dare to challenge her father-in-law’s authority, but her mother-in-law kept winking at her. It would be unreasonable if she did not help.

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you guys did today. You’d better behave yourselves for the time being. if you ruin my business, don’t blame me for falling out with you!” Grandpa Mao squinted his small eyes, his face gloomy.

Was it easy for him? In order to get more money, he took the risk of being criticized by others.
