In the end, Liu Fang still didn't lend the money. She knew Liu Daneng's character all too well—lazy, good-for-nothing, and not very bright.

It's not that I look down on my younger brother, it's just that I don't want this money to go to waste.

Although she didn't lend them money, Liu Fang still packed a lot of food for Liu Daneng and his wife to take home when they left.

As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, Wu Xiaohua spat, "Your sister is treating us like beggars. The food she had for lunch was better than what she prepared for us."

His disgusted expression was a stark contrast to his earlier affectionate gesture towards Liu Fang.

Liu Daneng glanced at the basket and saw a plate of twice-cooked pork, a raw pig's trotter, and some braised dishes. These items together were actually worth quite a bit of money.

However, after witnessing how profitable Xu's restaurant was, the two of them felt that Liu Fang's actions were like treating a beggar like dirt.

So the two of them did something just like Fu Man'er: they complained.

As Old Lady Liu ate the twice-cooked pork that Liu Fang had given her, she continued to curse Liu Fang, calling her an ingrate and heartless woman. She kept repeating the same things.

Wu Xiaohua got annoyed and said, "Mom, my eldest sister doesn't listen to what I say to Da Neng anyway. You have to step in, otherwise my eldest sister probably won't come up with the money."

No matter what I said today, Liu Fang was completely unmoved, determined that she had no money and couldn't lend it to me.

But it's different when the mother-in-law intervenes. The mother-in-law doesn't like this sister-in-law anyway, and if she adds a few more words, she'll definitely get her to step in.

"Call Liu Fang back tomorrow. If she won't lend me money, I'll skin her alive." Old Lady Liu spouted nonsense, clearly having forgotten that this was no longer the time for Liu Fang to be bullied.

Wu Xiaohua picked up a piece of meat and put it on Liu Laotai's plate. "Mom, you know how temperamental my eldest sister is. She would never come if I asked her to."

This old lady thinks too highly of herself. She's yelled at Liu Fang to come back several times, but Liu Fang has never come back.

"She's gone too far! How dare she disobey her mother?" Old Mrs. Liu slammed her hand on the table, her old face falling.

Just as Liu Daneng was about to pick up some food, he said, "Mom, what are you doing? Can't a person eat?"

"Grandma, you almost knocked my bowl over!" Liu Fu shouted.

The old lady, who was originally furious, immediately put on a smile. "Oh dear, it's Grandma's fault. You eat quickly. Here, Grandma will put a piece of meat on your plate, a big piece of fatty meat."

After saying that, he put a large piece of fatty meat on his plate for his son and grandson, but he ignored his daughter-in-law, Wu Xiaohua.

When Liu Laotai wasn't looking, Wu Xiaohua glared at that old hag fiercely. Once she got the money, she was determined to get rid of that old hag.

Since the money hadn't arrived yet, Wu Xiaohua could only force a smile and say, "Mom, why don't you go to my eldest sister's house tomorrow? We'll need you to handle this."

Old Mrs. Liu's eyes widened. "That wretched girl thinks she's so important that I have to go to her door to talk to her personally." She was clearly vehemently opposed.

Wu Xiaohua kicked Liu Daneng. What's wrong with this guy? She was talking, but he was just eating. He's such a pig-brain.

Liu Daneng finally realized what was happening after Wu Xiaohua's frantic pleas. "Mom, just go! If you don't go, where will the money for this business come from? Give it to me!"

Liu Daneng spoke very rudely and looked a little impatient, but Old Lady Liu just loved it. She always listened to her son.

"Alright, tomorrow I'll go to the Xu family and teach that little hussy a lesson." She couldn't bear to spend the money; it was her life savings, and she couldn't afford to touch it.

"What's the point of packing up? Just get your money back. If you offend people too much, you'll lose the money again."

Liu Daneng knew his mother's temperament well; he was worried that she would start scolding him as soon as they arrived, and that he shouldn't just focus on scolding and forget about the important matter.

“I’ll go with Mom tomorrow,” Wu Xiaohua said promptly. This was no small matter, and she didn’t want her mother-in-law to mess things up.

Liu Daneng nodded, buried his head, and started eating again. Today was such a comfortable day; meat for one meal and meat for the next. It was so delicious.

The next afternoon, Grandma Liu, Wu Xiaohua, and Liu Fu arrived at the Xu family's house. It was quite a coincidence, as Xu Genshan and Liu Fang had gone to help prepare for a banquet hosted by a wealthy man in town.

The banquet was at noon, so they returned in the afternoon, almost immediately after Grandma Liu and the others.

This was the first time that Old Lady Liu had visited the Xu family's new house, and she was just as shocked as Wu Xiaohua and the others. Liu Fu was even more astonished, as he had never seen such a beautiful house before.

It was her aunt's house again. As soon as she entered, she touched and patted everything, making Old Mrs. Xu's eyelids twitch, but the adults there didn't seem to care.

"Mom, Xiaohua." Liu Fang heard them arrive as soon as she entered the door, and guessed that the two of them must have come for money.

When Grandma Xu saw her come in, she made an excuse to leave. She felt disgusted by Grandma Xu's old face, and sometimes she even thought about it.

How could such a despicable person have such a wonderful daughter like Liu Fang? God is so unfair.

"Oh, the young mistress of a wealthy family is back." Old Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Fang sideways. The hairpin in her hair, the earrings on her ears, and the bracelet on her wrist—everything about her stung her eyes.

Liu Fang felt uncomfortable upon hearing these sarcastic remarks, and she didn't mince words, asking, "Xiao Hua, what brings you here?" It was clear she didn't want to talk to Old Lady Liu.

This attitude angered Old Lady Liu, who glared at Liu Fang and said, "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

As soon as Xu Genshan walked in, he heard his mother-in-law's roar, "Mother-in-law, you're yelling so loudly, it's impossible not to hear you."

He couldn't stand how his mother-in-law treated Liu Fang—always making sarcastic remarks or yelling at her, never speaking properly.

Xu Genshan was a tall man who used to be a hunter. When he had a dark face, he was a bit intimidating. When Grandma Liu faced him, she felt her anger subside.

She had initially disregarded Xu Genshan after he became lame, but now that his leg had suddenly healed, his intimidating aura had returned.

Xu Genshan walked over and sat down next to Liu Fang. He placed a pair of warm hands over her, and Liu Fang turned around and gave Xu Genshan a grateful smile.

Wu Xiaohua pulled Liu Laotai down to sit, saying that this old lady would only know how to curse and wouldn't be able to do anything useful.

"Brother-in-law, don't be angry. Mother just has a bit of a temper, but she still cares about my sister." None of the four people present took this attempt to smooth things over to heart.

With Xu Genshan around, Old Lady Liu's words weren't as excessive, but they weren't much better. "Your younger brother and his family want to start a small business. As their older sister, you should take out some money to help them."

These words didn't sound like they were helping someone; they sounded more like they were ordering Liu Fang around.

"I don't have any money. Our restaurant spends a lot of money on groceries every day, so we don't have any extra money." Old Mrs. Liu's words were much more straightforward than those of Liu Daneng and the others.

At least they would say they were borrowing money, but when it came to Old Lady Liu, she just directly asked for money, and in a way that made it seem like it was her right.

"You think I don't know how much money your restaurant makes? You still say you don't have any money. If you didn't have any money, how could you have built this big house?" Old Mrs. Liu was jealous when she looked at the big house. Her son had made money and wanted to build a house even bigger than the Xu family's.

No matter what Grandma Liu said, Liu Fang still wouldn't budge, which made Grandma Liu so angry that she started throwing a tantrum.

This time, however, the target of his tantrum was different; he was throwing a tantrum at Xu Genshan.

Xu Genshan, who had been sitting upright like an old pine tree, stared blankly as his mother-in-law plopped down on the ground, patting the ground repeatedly with her hands, her mouth agape so wide you could see her throat.
