"Mother, let's go and find out if Grandma Zhu and the others have also entered the post station."

Zhu Yanyan felt increasingly uneasy and pulled Wen Xiuying to turn around and leave the room.

But Wen Xiuying didn't want to leave such a comfortable environment. She held her daughter's hand with a pained expression and explained.

"Yan Yan, we've finally managed to have a room to stay in again, and I don't want to go out."

Zhu Yanyan glared at Wen Xiuya speechlessly after hearing this, shook off her hand with a gloomy face, and retorted irritably.

"If you won't go, I will."

After saying that, she turned and left the room angrily. However, just as she opened the door, Zhu Borong entered the room carrying a steaming bowl of noodles.

Seeing Zhu Yanyan glare at him with a dark expression before turning away, he stared blankly at her retreating figure.

"Why is this child angry again?"

Wen Xiuying glanced at Zhu Yanyan's departing figure, then pulled Zhu Borong into the room and slammed the door shut.

"Ignore her. She's always suspicious and orders me around all the time. Who's the mother, me or her?"

Seeing his wife angry, Zhu Borong quickly put the noodles he was holding on the table. "Don't be angry. Didn't we agree to wait until we safely reach the border before discussing anything else?"

"But I really can't stand her arrogant attitude. Husband, you have to think of something!"

Thinking about Zhu Yanyan's attitude towards her all the way, Wen Xiuying felt increasingly aggrieved and angrily slammed her hand on the table in complaint.

Zhu Borong naturally understood his wife's feelings, and he held her in his arms with heartache, gently comforting her, "Just bear with it a little longer! We've relied on her for food and drink all along the way."

"If you really can't stand it, just think of Zinan. We've been putting up with all this for Zinan's sake."

Seeing her husband mention their son Zinan, Wen Xiuying finally suppressed her anger, glanced back at her son on the bed, and nodded.

"Alright, then just bear with it a little longer. We agreed that once we reach the border, we'll snatch her treasure and give it to Zinan. No matter how capable a girl is, she'll get married sooner or later. In the end, it'll just benefit her husband's family."

"Yes, Madam is right. Now that you've calmed down, what's next..."

After coaxing Wen Xiuying, Zhu Borong smiled and helped her up, leading her to the door. He then opened the door considerately and playfully raised an eyebrow at his wife.

Left with no other choice, Wen Xiuying composed herself and left the room to go downstairs.

Zhu Yanyan, who had already gone downstairs, was chatting with the escort. After learning that the Zhu family had indeed checked into the inn, she clenched her fists in anger.

"Yan Yan, did you get the information?" Wen Xiuya only dared to cautiously approach and ask after the escort left.

Zhu Yanyan was furious. After glancing back at Wen Xiuya, she turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Wen Xiuying quickly grabbed an umbrella from the corner and followed, asking as she walked, "Yanyan, what's wrong?"

"Grandma Zhu and the others have indeed checked into the inn. I suspect the goat is in their hands." Zhu Yanyan said with a dark face, quickening her pace toward the backyard.

The thought of the goat being taken away by Old Lady Zhu and the others made her want to kill those "tools" immediately.

Wen Xiuying never expected that Old Lady Zhu would have such great abilities and be able to enter the post station smoothly.

"Are they rich? That doesn't make sense! How could they possibly have money?"

"They traded herbs for the chance to enter the post station."

Zhu Yanyan was also surprised that Old Lady Zhu and her family were able to enter the post station. The book clearly stated that this family was just a stepping stone for her on her journey, so how could they have money to enter the post station?

After learning that Old Lady Zhu had used herbs to secure her opportunity, she instantly understood why Old Lady Zhu and her companions had been able to enter the post station.

What puzzled her most was that the character introductions in the book did not mention that these people knew medicine.

Did she miss some details when reading the novel?

In a daze, Zhu Yanyan and Wen Xiuying had already crossed the backyard corridor and arrived outside the woodshed.

Upon hearing the footsteps, the people inside quickly extinguished the fire and hid the cooked food behind the curtain.

Just then, there was a loud knocking on the door.

After preparing the food, Grandma Zhu glanced back at the goat in the corner and hurriedly nudged her son, "Goat, go hide!"

Upon seeing their mother's prompt, Zhu Chenfeng and Zhu Haotian panicked instantly and ran towards the goat in a daze.

The two hurriedly untied the goat's rope, picked up the goat, and headed towards the pile of junk.

Then, he stuffed a rag into the goat's mouth, tied its hands and feet with rope, and finally used all his strength to place the goat in the open space behind the pile of debris.

After everything was settled, the knocking on the door turned into kicking, accompanied by Wen Xiuying's shrill voice.

"Open the door! What are you doing hiding in there? Have you lost your nerve?"

After seeing that her sons had finished dealing with the goat, Old Lady Zhu rolled up her sleeves, opened the door, put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and shouted at Wen Xiuying.

"Why are you barking, dog? Are you afraid others won't hear you barking?"

The sudden opening of the door startled Wen Xiuying. As she backed away, she slipped and almost fell down the steps.

Fortunately, Zhu Yanyan caught her at the bottom of the steps, preventing Wen Xiuying from falling down.

Faced with Old Madam Zhu's intimidating aura, Zhu Yanyan calmly approached Wen Xiuya and whispered a few words before quietly handing her the things she was carrying.

Wen Xiuying looked down at what she was holding, her brows furrowed as if she disagreed with Zhu Yanyan's idea.

Seeing that Wen Xiuying was unwilling to go and do the errand, Zhu Yanyan became unhappy and warned her with a dark face.

"If we don't go, none of us will have dinner tonight."

"No, your little brother can't go hungry. Don't be angry, Mom will go right away."

When Wen Xiuying heard that there would be no dinner, she became anxious and pleaded with her daughter while holding her hand.

Zhu Yanyan coldly and impatiently yelled at her, "Then hurry up and go."

Seeing this, Wen Xiuying could only sigh, turn around and run into the rain towards the front yard.

Old Mrs. Zhu watched Wen Xiuying's departing figure warily, then looked at Zhu Yanyan with a sullen face.

"What exactly do you want?"

"My goat has gone missing, and I strongly suspect that you stole it."

Zhu Yanyan walked up to Old Lady Zhu with an umbrella, slowly looked at the half-open door, and arrogantly questioned her.

At the same time, Zhu Chenfeng and Zhu Haotian also came out of the room with the rest of the people. They all stood behind Old Lady Zhu, their expressions fierce, and they were ready to fight.

Faced with the imposing presence of the crowd, Zhu Yanyan remained calm and composed, glancing at the people before her.

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Wen Xiuying led two escorts to the backyard, pointing to Old Lady Zhu's room as she walked.

"Sir, they're in their room. You've made the right decision."
