Looking at her mother’s ‘loving’ look, Mao Xiaoyu could not help but sigh in her heart. In the end, she could only squat down and say, “I’ll help Mother clean up.”

Her mother was only in her thirties, so wasn’t it a little cruel to if she were to spend the rest of her life alone?

Mao Xiaoyu thought to herself that if she met a suitable man in the future, she would find another man for her mother.

Although this was a little unfair to her father, living was more important, wasn’t it?

After everything was packed, Mao Xiaoyu took out the silver she had exchanged in the bank from her ‘sleeve’. “Mother, these are for you!”

Liu Xianniang looked at the silver and banknotes on the table. Then, she took a few pieces of silver from it and said, “This is enough. you can keep the rest.”

Her house had been ransacked today, and Liu Xianniang had completely lost her sense of security. She was afraid that she would lose all the money in her hands one day.

Her daughter was different from her. She had her own opinions and could go against her family. It was safer to leave the silver with her daughter.

Mao Xiaoyu did not reject it. If she was not afraid that her mother would feel uncomfortable, she would not have given her so much at once.

Now that her mother had taken the initiative to mention it, she naturally accepted it. “Then I’ll keep it first. Mother, you can come to me for it whenever you need it!”

“Mother usually doesn’t need much silver, so these few taels are enough.” Liu Xianniang smiled.

“Hiss~” The corner of her lips curved upwards, and she accidentally scratched the wound on her face.

Mao Xiaoyu looked at her mother’s miserable state and said, “Mother, I’ll get some water for you to wash your face.”

“I can do it myself!” Her daughter had a long day.

Mao Xiaoyu did not listen. She took the wooden basin and jogged to the yard to get water. Then, she secretly added some spirit spring water from the Space to the wooden bucket.

she did not dare to add too much. It would not be good if the effect was too heaven-defying and her mother discovered something.

But she could not bear not giving it to her mother.

Her mother probably had many injuries on her body. If she left them alone, her mother’s body would probably be in pain for several days.

“Mother, I’ll help you wipe the wounds on your body,” said Mao Xiaoyu as she twisted the cloth.

Liu Xianniang did not reject her daughter’s filial piety. her body was indeed in great pain.

After drawing three basins of water, Liu Xianniang sighed comfortably. “I feel much better after washing up.”

“Mother, are you hungry? I’ll go cook some porridge?” In the afternoon, Mao Xiaoyu bought two catties of rice on the way to the ox-cart assembly point.

Liu Xianniang shook her head. She had eaten a lot at noon and was still not hungry. “I’m not hungry. I’ll just eat something light. ”

Mao Xiaoyu nodded, “Then let’s eat the spiced beef. Otherwise, it will go bad tomorrow.”

The sauced beef was very fragrant, and the saltiness was just right, so it would be a bit uncertain if he left it for tomorrow.

Upon hearing that the sauced beef was going to spoil, Liu Xianniang quickly nodded. “Alright, let’s eat this.”

Rather than throwing it away, it was better for the mother and daughter to eat it.

After the meal, Mao Xiaoyu washed her face and feet by the well, then climbed up to the brick bed in the dark.

“Mother, I’ll buy a few big locks the next time I go to town.” Today’s incident had taught her a lesson.

she had to lock the doors, windows, cabinets, and drawers.

Just cutting off the locks was enough to make those people work hard!

“Alright, we’ll lock the door in the future.” Liu Xianniang nodded in agreement.

“Xiaoyu, what were you and the Village Chief talking about today?”

“Grandpa Village Chief didn’t want today’s matter to be blown up, so he asked me how I wanted to solve it.”

Liu Xianniang nodded subconsciously, but when she thought of how dark the room was and how her daughter couldn’t see her movements, she sighed.

“I told grandpa Village Chief that I wanted to split with the family, but he said that it was difficult. Later, I said that I won’t split the family this time, but one day, I will.”

Mao Xiaoyu told her mother everything she had said to the Village Chief.

“Mother, you don’t have to worry about me tomorrow afternoon. Grandpa Village Chief asked me to go to his house for a meal.” Mao Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that she had a dinner appointment tomorrow.

“Isn’t this a little inappropriate?” Food was so precious, and Liu Xianniang felt a little guilty for eating other people’s food for no reason.

“It’s fine. I’ll go to the village tomorrow to exchange for some eggs.” Mao Xiaoyu had already planned it out.

“Alright, remember to help out when you go to the Village Chief’s house,” Liu Xianniang worriedly reminded her.

“Alright,” Mao Xiaoyu agreed.

After a short while, Mao Xiaoyu heard her mother’s steady breathing.

She rolled the blanket into a long strip, which was just enough to hide her figure. Suddenly, Mao Xiaoyu disappeared from the bed.

Taking a deep breath of the air in the Space, Mao Xiaoyu let out two shouts of joy.

Mao Xiaoyu walked back to the small villa in a good mood after relieving the depression in her heart.

It had been a few days since she transmigrated here, and she had not had much free time.

Mao Xiaoyu had not even tidied up her ancestor’s memorial tablet.

She planned to place all the memorial tablets of the Mao family’s ancestors in the big living room, right next to the memorial tablet of her ancestor, Mao Maochun.

Since she was the only one in this Space, she did not feel scared to see the memorial tablets on the table.

Immediately, Mao Xiaoyu rolled up her sleeves and offered three joss sticks to her ancestor.

“Old Ancestor, I’ll have to disturb you in a while, please forgive me.”

After the incense burned out, Mao Xiaoyu moved the ancestral tablets away from the table.

She had to clean the table first.

After that, Mao Xiaoyu placed all the memorial tablets in the correct positions according to their seniority.

“Phew!” Exhaling deeply, she clapped her hands.

Done!

“Today, Xiaoyu has moved a house for all the elders. I hope that all the elders will like it here!” After lighting up three more joss sticks, Mao Xiaoyu kowtowed three times.

From then on, her family would be with her in this Space forever.

She chatted with her grandfather and parents about her current situation for a while, then she went up to the second floor, satisfied.

Mao Xiaoyu wanted to find a bedroom on the second floor and place the furniture she was used to in it.

Although she did not have the ability to stay in the Space for a long time, she felt more at ease now that she had gotten used to the environment.

After busying herself for a while, Mao Xiaoyu lay down on her big bed, satisfied.

“It’s so comfortable!”

Hugging her favorite plush toy, Mao Xiaoyu rolled around on the bed in excitement.

Realizing that she had not seen the original owner’s appearance, Mao Xiaoyu quickly got up and ran to the dressing table.

Although the original owner of the body had lost a lot of weight due to the long-term lack of nutrition, her facial features were quite striking.

She had a small and straight nose, big almond-shaped eyes, and cherry-like lips.

She actually looked similar to her when she was around ten years old!

Touching her yellow hair, Mao Xiaoyu mumbled, “I need to eat something nutritious. I don’t know when my body will recover!”
