Chapter 136 Having a Disloyal Heart

Yao Guohua dragged Song Yuling away while everyone was watching.

Everyone was pointing and whispering about Song Yuling, whose hair was a mess and whose face was bruised and swollen.

Honestly, why would they come here to bully these three poor siblings?

How about that? You got beaten up, didn't you? You deserved it!

Yao Shula gestured for the younger children to put their things back, and then clapped her hands.

I hit too hard, and my hand hurts a little.

Miao Yamin also took the stick used to prop up the door from Yao Shula's hand.

“My third uncle… sigh, what kind of things has he done!” Miao Yamin said, shaking her head.

"It's probably because Yao Guohua took Shuxin's words to heart last time."

I think it's better to keep the money in my own hands.

"Then Song Yuling got upset, and that's why she came to cause trouble for us!" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Yao Shula is in a good mood now. After slapping Song Yuling, Yao Shula feels relaxed all over.

Miao Yamin sighed. Wasn't her third uncle a good person before? How did he become like this...?

Yao Shula then greeted the people playing ball, saying that she had disturbed their game and that she would not charge them for the game.

Then Yao Shula led the three children and pulled Miao Yamin back to the courtyard.

"I'll go tell Grandma later."

They said Song Yuling came over and made trouble for us, demanding that we get back all the living expenses Yao Guohua gave us.

Tell Grandma to be careful too.

What if Song Yuling also goes to her grandmother to throw a tantrum and ask her for living expenses?

"Grandma is getting old, she can't stand people coming to make a scene like this!" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Miao Yamin...

Isn't this just another form of suing?

"Yes! We should tell Grandma! But Shura, don't tell her. I'll be passing by Grandma's house on my way home later."

I'll just go to my grandma's house for a visit and remind her while I'm at it.

"It's getting hot, you don't need to make a special trip. There are three little ones at home, and a lot of things to do!" Miao Yamin immediately took over the task.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shula immediately chuckled.

Miao Yamin's perspective... was purely from an outsider's point of view.

Given Grandma Yao's personality...

They'll most likely go after Yao Guohua and Song Yuling and cause a scene.

Miao Yamin smiled and then pulled Yao Shula aside to ask.

"Then tell me... my third uncle wouldn't have taken the money and caused some trouble outside, would he?"

"No! He doesn't have the mind for that right now. He doesn't have the energy or the money."

I guess they've started to have some doubts about Song Yuling!

Song Yuling didn't dare to cause trouble with Yao Guohua, so she came to cause trouble with us. Firstly, she wanted to show Yao Guohua what she was capable of, and secondly, she wanted to tell us that she also had a temper.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have hit her right away. I wanted to let her know that if she messed with us, the consequences would be severe.

Yao Guohua may have been nice to Song Yuling before, but when it comes to money, he will definitely overthink things.

He wasn't stupid. Rather than saying that Yao Guohua was nice to this person and not nice to that person, it would be more accurate to say that Yao Guohua was the best to himself.

He'll realize something's wrong as soon as he notices it.

"These two lovebirds who met by chance...they're going to have a tough time!" Yao Shula laughed.

Miao Yamin responded with an "oh".

This cousin of mine is amazing! Nobody can out-calculate her!

I still need to learn more from my cousin in the future. My cousin always says that she has graduated, but now that I think about it, how have I graduated?

She still has a lot to learn!

Miao Yamin was about to ask a few more questions when she saw Yao Shula shouting at Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli.

What are you two doing?

Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli, who were carrying a wooden basin full of water out together, turned around.

"The doorway is dirty, we need to splash some water on it!" Xiao Tiantian said immediately.

Yao Shula, Miao Yamin...

...

Yao Guohua, with a stern face, pulled Song Yuling back home.

After closing the door, Yao Guohua looked at Song Yuling, who was acting like a madwoman.

"What are you doing? Why are you going to find them? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?" Yao Guohua asked.

At this point, Song Yuling started crying and shouting.

"Yao Guohua, what else do I need to do?!"

They stepped on my face, and I didn't say anything! I didn't say anything the previous times either!

And now? They're all pushing us to the brink of despair.

You only gave me ten yuan yesterday, so what about the rest?

They must have taken it!

Guohua, we need to live too! We can't just let them have their way. Are we going to give them whatever they ask for? How are we supposed to survive?

"You've lost weight recently..."

Yao Guohua looked at Song Yuling and immediately interrupted her.

"I've lost weight recently because I eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables every day."

Also, the reason I only gave you ten yuan yesterday was because I thought ten yuan would be enough for this month.

"Eating steamed buns and pickled vegetables every day doesn't cost much. As for the money left over... I saved it myself," Yao Guohua said casually.

Song Yuling...

"Guohua, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't mean anything by it, I just think it's better to have some money on hand, so that you won't be short of money when you need it."

And also... didn't you take the money from my bankbook?

"Remember to take it out and give it to me. I owe someone some money, and I was planning to use that money to pay it back." After saying that, Yao Guohua went inside and ignored Song Yuling.

Song Yuling stood in the courtyard for a long time before she came to her senses.

Yao Guohua was dissatisfied with her and was no longer willing to let her manage the money...

"Guohua, tell me what's on your mind. Don't keep it to yourself. I think there's been some misunderstanding between us..."

Yao Guohua ignored her and silently looked at the blueprints on his desk.

He held a pen in his hand, but his thoughts drifted far away.

That day, he went to talk to his youngest daughter, but before he could say more than a few words, she scolded him.

On the way back, he thought a lot, and deep down he somewhat agreed with his youngest daughter's words.

He needs to save some money for himself; he can't hand over all his money to Song Yuling.

Otherwise, no matter what I do, whenever I need money, I'll have to ask Song Yuling for help!

Yao Guohua decided to talk to Song Yuling after he got home.

I give her ten yuan less each month and save it separately, which makes social interactions easier.

However, after returning home, Yao Guohua happened to run into Song Yuling taking out the trash.

There were two cleanly gnawed bones in the trash can.

Yao Guohua didn't think much of it at first, assuming it was from the bone stew his family had made at noon...

But after Song Yuling brought out the food she had saved for him...

It was still steamed buns made from a mixture of cornmeal and wheat flour, a bowl of cornmeal porridge, and a small dish of pickled vegetables...
