Having experienced repeated burglaries, the Meng family has now reached a tacit agreement to keep their money in a savings account and keep it close to their bodies. They only keep some loose change and money for daily use at home, and never keep more than that.

It was because Su Xiulan listened to her advice that her ten thousand yuan was not destroyed in the fire.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiumei felt both moved and guilty. She recalled how she had complained about her mother being too harsh on Zhou Xianye earlier that day, and she couldn't help but feel remorseful.

She's so damn awful, how could she think of her mother like that?

"Mother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone against you during the day."

"I know you're doing this for my own good, and I won't do it again." Su Xiumei lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.

As long as you know what's going on, that's fine.

You need to stand up straight to protect the two sisters, Xiaoli and Xiaojuan.

"Your mother will grow old one day, and she won't be able to protect you every moment." Meng Shuyun's tone was gentle yet firm.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiumei felt a warm glow in her heart and was so moved that she couldn't sleep. She wished she could get up immediately and go to the main room to operate the sewing machine.

Seeing her like this, Meng Shuyun scolded her a couple of times in annoyance before lying down to sleep.

On the other side, in a dilapidated temple.

The banana grove was teeming with mosquitoes, and there was nowhere to shelter from the wind and rain, making the nights unbearable. So Su Xiangbei took Jiang Xue to a nearby dilapidated temple to spend the night.

When Jiang Xue saw Su Xiangbei return carrying a bag of steamed buns, her eyes lit up and she quickly got up to greet him.

Ever since Su Xiangbei left, I've been feeling uneasy, but now I can finally calm down.

Su Xiangbei looked at Jiang Xue, who was disheveled, with disdain in his eyes.

He frowned deeply when he saw Jiang Xue's empty pockets and said coldly, "Where's the thousand yuan I gave you? Give it to me."
