"Slap!" A loud slap suddenly rang out in the quiet room.

Su Xiulan took a deep breath and said, "Even if what you said is true, so what?"

That's the mother you see, not the mother I see.

My older sister has returned with Xiaoli and Xiaojuan, and they're living a fulfilling life. How could she possibly jump into the river like you said?

My younger sister went back to the city and got a stable job, and I also gave birth to two children smoothly.

It's completely different from what you said.

If it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't be where I am today.

We have seen everything our mother has done for us.

Mother is indeed different from before, but that's all because Father is inactive and too selfish.

Why did Mother marry us off so early?

It's all because the three of you are so useless.

I heard with my own ears that my father told my mother to marry off my eldest sister and give the dowry to Su Xiangbei in exchange for a dowry for his own wife.

When you were selected to join the army, why did you think you were chosen?

It's all because my father used my dowry money to bribe people for you everywhere.

I don't care what you do, if you dare to hurt Mom, don't blame me for disowning you as my brother.

Although I don't know why Xiuju went to the countryside, it must be related to that brat Su Xiangyang..."

Su Xiangnan's face turned pale and then flushed, his expression shifting unpredictably. He almost lost his composure and gripped the wheelchair handles tightly, the veins on his arms bulging.

Just then, the door creaked open, and Su Xiuju stood pale-faced in the doorway, staring straight at the two people inside.

"Second brother, how could you set the house on fire!"

We trusted you so much, and yet you did this.

Have you ever thought about what would happen if my second sister and the baby were still inside the house?

Su Xiuju's voice trembled, "The things Mother did are completely different from what you said."

All I know is that it was my mother who brought me out of that cannibalistic place, and it was also my mother who found me a job.

You don't know this, do you? It wasn't my mother who sent me to the countryside, it was my father.

According to you, the one who wants to harm me is my father, not my mother.

If you do anything to betray Mother, I won't acknowledge you as my second brother anymore.

Su Xiangnan's eyes darted away, avoiding their gazes. His teeth were clenched tightly. After a long while, he lowered his voice and explained, "I set the fire because I saw my second sister take the child out..."

Do whatever you want, it's none of my business, I can't be bothered to talk to you.

Su Xiulan and Su Xiuju exchanged a glance and stepped forward together to block his path.

"Xiang Nan, Xiu Ju and I promised to heal your leg a long time ago, and we won't go back on our word. Since you dislike your mother so much, once your leg is healed, take Gu Xue with you and leave."

Su Xiangnan abruptly stopped pushing the wheelchair, then left the room with a cold face and without saying a word.

In the kitchen, Meng Kangshun was adding firewood to the stove to boil water when he saw Zhou Xianye walk in with a towel. He suddenly stood up and blocked Zhou Xianye's way.

Zhou Xianye was startled. Looking at Meng Kangshun, who was a head shorter than him, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Kangshun, I, I'll fetch the water."

This kid had eyes as sharp as a wolf's. He suddenly stood in front of Zhou Xianye. Although he wasn't tall, his imposing presence was very intimidating, which really startled Zhou Xianye.

"If you dare to bully my eldest sister, I won't let you off. Don't think that the Meng family has no one to back you up. If I find out, I can deal with you anytime." Meng Kangshun snorted coldly and turned to leave the kitchen.

As Zhou Xianye watched Meng Kangshun's retreating figure, he hurriedly and repeatedly assured him that he would treat Su Xiumei and the children well.

But before he could catch his breath, he saw Su Xiangnan walking in, also carrying a towel.

Su Xiangnan's face was terribly gloomy, his sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and with just a cold glance, Zhou Xianye's legs went weak with fear.

Although Su Xiangnan was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving around, his eyes were sharp as if they could devour a person alive. The unique murderous aura of a soldier emanated from him without reservation, directly confronting Zhou Xianye's face.

"My eldest sister isn't someone anyone can bully. Even if I'm confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life, dealing with you will be a piece of cake." Su Xiangnan's words weren't just bluffing; they were a genuine threat.

Zhou Xianye's smile froze instantly, and he hurriedly said sincerely, "No, no, I was deceived by my mother before. I had no idea that she and her two daughters had suffered so much. I will never let them suffer again..."

Zhou Xianye watched Su Xiangnan leave, his heart pounding wildly, his legs going weak, and he plopped down on the woodpile, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

None of the men in the Meng family are easy to mess with...

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As agreed last night, everyone was to hand over the hair ornaments again this morning.

When Meng Shuyun opened her eyes, she was both surprised and delighted.

Zhang Laidi and her daughter-in-law worked through the night to make one hundred pairs of flowers.

Adding in the work done by others, as well as the results she and Su Xiumei achieved last night, the total number of orders suddenly reached more than 1,600 pairs.

Meng Shuyun and Meng Kangshun immediately decided to split up and deliver the goods.

Meng Shuyun nimbly hopped on her bicycle and headed towards Ding Fangjie's house in the next village.

Upon arriving at Ding Fangjie's house, Meng Shuyun had just parked the car when Ding Fangjie warmly greeted her, carrying a bowl of steaming porridge and a white steamed bun beside it, clearly prepared especially for Meng Shuyun.

"Don't rush, it's early in the morning, have a warm drink to warm yourself up," Ding Fangjie said with a smile, her eyes full of concern.

Meng Shuyun quickly took it, and looking at her good friend's dark circles under her eyes, she asked with concern, "You must have worked hard last night. I'm going into the city later, is there anything you need me to bring back? I can bring it back for you on the way."
