Four women and Xie Zhi were chasing each other in the yard.

They all tried to take things from him, but Xie Zhi thought they were trying to hit him.

Finding it fun, Da Huang joined in, barking loudly.

It was truly a scene of utter chaos!

Xiao Moran and Su Xiaonuan appeared in the courtyard at the same time, and only then did the old women stop chasing.

"What are you two doing at home?" Ye Mei and Zhang Yulan asked at the same time.

"I'm back to get something," Su Xiaonuan quickly said.

"Aren't you also back to pick up something?" Ye Mei asked Xiao Moran.

"I'm also back to pick up some things."

"Do you believe them? It's such a coincidence that they both came back to pick up their things?" Xiao Moxi scoffed. She was also deeply in love, and just by looking at her sister-in-law's rosy face, she knew what the two of them had secretly come back for.

"Is that not allowed?" Xiao Moran said sternly. "Don't run outside all the time, hurry up and finish your first lesson."

"I'm not going to talk about it anymore, I'm going upstairs to read." Xiao Moxi was most afraid of her brother bringing up this matter, otherwise she would get scolded again if she didn't leave.

"Uh, don't you want your bag anymore?" Su Xiaonuan called out to her retreating figure.

"I don't want it anymore, I'll give it to that madman." Mo Xi thought to herself, no matter how pretty the bag was, she didn't want it anymore if the madman carried it around in public.

"Mom, do you still want your bed skirt?" Su Xiaonuan asked Ye Mei.

Ye Mei looked at the filthy bed skirt, waved her hand, and said decisively, "Forget it, I don't want it anymore. Since he likes it, let him wear it. Otherwise, he might take other bed skirts from our yard and ruin them, which would be even worse."

"Xie Zhi, did you hear that? They gave you the bag and bed skirt, so you're not allowed to take any more clothes drying in the yard, understand?" Su Xiaonuan held back her laughter. Xie Zhi's outfit was really funny, like a walking python.

Xie Zhichong and Su Xiaonuan smiled foolishly and nodded vigorously.

Su Ming went to buy some things, and when he came back, he saw Xie Zhi covering his scarf. He was so angry that he wanted to beat the guy up on the spot. That was his favorite scarf, but Xie Zhi was using it like a noose.

Xie Zhi, who had just stopped, was chased around by Su Ming again.

"Dad, don't chase after them." Su Xiaonuan pulled him back.

"Xiao Nuan, that's the scarf you bought for Dad. I can't bear to use it."

"It's okay, I'll buy you another one." Su Xiaonuan came to Xie Zhi's rescue because she knew that Xie Zhi was pretending to be crazy. Of course, she also understood that Xie Zhi was pretending to be crazy because he wanted to take revenge on Lan Yin. There was no doubt about that.

Such a brilliant boss, being schemed against like this by Lan Yin, no one would let it go.

Aunt Chen stepped forward and slapped Xie Zhi a few times. "Boss, you can't take other people's things without permission. If you do this again, they won't let you stay here anymore, understand?"

Xie Zhi nodded obediently a few times.

"Forget about Chen, let's not worry about him. Let's hurry up and cook. While everyone's here, let's make some good dishes today." Ye Mei rolled up her sleeves, took an apron that was drying in the yard, and tied it around her waist.

Ye Mei's cooking skills are getting better and better. With Xiao Nuan's guidance, she is almost at the level of a master chef.

Zhang Yulan's cooking skills haven't improved much. It's not that she can't learn, but that she's too frugal. She's reluctant to put anything in, and adding a little extra oil is like taking her life, let alone adding extra seasonings. As a result, her dishes aren't very popular.

When Ye Mei was in charge of cooking, Aunt Chen would help out.

Su Ming then pulled Xiao Moran aside and played a few games of chess in the courtyard.

Zhang Yulan went upstairs and soon started arguing with Xiao Moxi.

Xiao Nuan went upstairs to get something and overheard her mother-in-law and sister-in-law arguing.

"You wild girl! Ever since your brother and sister-in-law's wedding, I haven't seen a soul. If this keeps up, I'll have your brother send you back to the countryside." Zhang Yulan hit Moxi on the head with her books. "Whether you go to university or not is irrelevant. If you end up like Lanyin, I'll beat you to death."

"Ouch, Mom, it hurts! You've made me stupid so I can't get married, and you'll have to support me for the rest of my life." Xiao Moxi covered her head with both hands.

"Then tell me, what have you been busy with these days?" Zhang Yulan's book stopped in mid-air. If she didn't tell the truth, she was going to hit her with the book again.

“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Xiao Moxi frowned. “I almost got disfigured by Wang Xiaobao. He threw sulfuric acid on my face. Luckily, Jiang Yi was there, otherwise, my face would have become a monster.”

"When did this happen?" Zhang Yulan asked.

Su Xiaonuan rushed inside. "Where is Wang Xiaobao?"

"Sister-in-law, why are you so agitated?" Xiao Moxi sighed. "When you heard this news, instead of worrying about me, you all asked where Wang Xiaobao was. Is he more important than me?"

"Moxi, I need to find Wang Xiaobao now. She and Xiang Qiuyun have become wanted criminals. There must be something going on." Su Xiaonuan grabbed her shoulders anxiously.

“Oh dear, this happened before the wedding,” Xiao Moxi said. “Back then, they weren’t wanted by the police yet. Jiang Yi threw a chair at him, and then a cleaning lady suddenly appeared, which saved me from that ordeal.”

"Then why didn't you tell us?" Su Xiaonuan's tone was full of reproach. "Such a big thing happened, and you dared to keep it from us. If something really happened to you, wouldn't your brother be furious?"

“At the time, you were going to have your wedding, so I didn’t tell you so as not to affect you. Afterwards, Wang Xiaobao and Xiang Qiuyun became wanted criminals, not to mention that. These days, I’ve been leaving early and returning late to take care of the cleaning lady who ruined her arm. She’ll be discharged from the hospital soon, so I can focus on my studies and won’t run around.”

Zhang Yulan hit Moxi, and then started crying. "You little rascal, you're getting more and more headstrong. Such a big thing happened and you didn't even tell me. If something really happened to you, how would your mother live?"

"Mom, I'm perfectly fine, why are you crying?"

"We're fine this time, but what if we run into Wang Xiaobao again and he tries to harm us?"

"I know what happened." Su Xiaonuan said and ran outside.

She went to the Public Security Bureau to see Director Lu and told him her thoughts, asking them to keep an eye on Lan Yin and say that Wang Xiaobao and Xiang Qiuyun were taking the blame for someone else and definitely did not abscond with the money.

Someone as smart as Su Xiaonuan had suspected this before, and now, after hearing what Moxi said, she finally found the answer: framing someone was a common tactic used by Lan Yin.

Lan Yin noticed two people loitering downstairs. She asked Li Chunxiang to disguise herself and go out to find out who those two people were.

Two new faces appeared during the meal.

Li Chunxiang, disguised as a garbage collector, approached the four plainclothes officers who were changing shifts and overheard them saying:

"How's it going? Any movement?"

"No, I haven't gone out at all."

"Is there something wrong with the information?"

"No, Comrade Su's judgment is always accurate. He said this woman is just a thief crying 'stop thief!'..."

Li Chunxiang wanted to continue listening, but someone turned around and glanced at her warily, so she had no choice but to leave with her snakeskin bag.

After changing into this outfit in a secluded spot, he returned looking radiant.
