People are probably lining up to give Zhang Zhenhui gifts; they might not even care about her little present.

But remembering how much Zhang Zhenhui had helped her when she was collecting grain, she still carefully bought a lot of mooncakes and fruit.

When Meng Shuyun arrived at the cigarette factory gate, the old man in the security office spotted her immediately, his face beaming with joy, his wrinkles crinkling together: "Oh, Meng, you're here! I know the factory manager's home phone number, I'll call him for you right away..."

Meng Shuyun quickly stopped the old man and carried the fruit and mooncakes into the security room: "No need, sir, I'll leave after I deliver the things. This one is for you, and these too, please pass them on to the brothers in the motorcade. As for Director Zhang's, just give them to his secretary when you see him."

The old man looked surprised, opened the gift bag, and found a pack of cigarettes inside: "You brought so many things, it would be such a waste not to meet Director Zhang, it's not worth it!"

"There's no such thing as losing out. Director Zhang has helped Kang Shun and me so much, I just wanted to express my gratitude in a simple way. Besides, there must be a lot of people who have given him gifts. Director Zhang is so busy, he probably doesn't even remember who I am. Alright, the things have been delivered, I should go back now."

As soon as Meng Shuyun stepped out of the security booth, by sheer coincidence, she saw Meng Kangshun also coming over carrying mooncakes and fruit.

The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

"You rascal, you're back from Grandpa Li's place so soon?" Meng Shuyun asked with a smile.

Meng Kangshun scratched his head and said with a simple smile, "Well, Grandpa Li is urging me to go home early for the family reunion dinner. Mom, wait for me a moment, I'll put my things down and then we'll go back together."

After returning home with Meng Kangshun, Meng Shuyun went to Ding Fangjie's house, carrying mooncakes and fruit, with smiles on her face.

Ding Fangjie invited her to stay for dinner, but Meng Shuyun politely declined, saying with a smile, "No, my family is waiting for me. Let's get together another time!" Then she turned and went home.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Meng Shuyun saw Xiaoli and Xiaojuan sitting on the threshold, looking around expectantly. Their eyes lit up the moment they saw her.

Meng Shuyun's heart softened instantly, and she said with heartache, "Have you been waiting long?"

At this moment, Gu Xue, with a sweet smile on her face, handed her the fifty yuan and said in a clear voice, "Anan said it was for Grandma."

Meng Shuyun took the money. Su Xiangnan was a real old fox. He didn't come himself, but sent Gu Xue to deliver the money, confident that she wouldn't refuse Gu Xue.

"Let's go back and eat. You must be starving." Meng Shuyun put the money away and called everyone back to the house for dinner.

Zhou Xianye had to return to the textile factory the next day to drive and pick up goods. Time was tight, and although he was reluctant to leave Su Xiumei and her two daughters, he had to eat his fill and rush home.

His mother is waiting for him to come home, and he will go and demand justice for Su Xiumei and her two children.

In contrast to the warmth and harmony of the Meng family, the Qin family's side was a desolate scene.

The kitchen was cold and empty, devoid of any signs of cooking.

Jiang Xue came out of the room carrying the child, and slammed the door open with a loud "bang," the sound particularly jarring in the quiet room.

"What time is it? Why isn't the food ready yet? Are you trying to starve me and my son to death?"

Jiang Xue shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Qin Daya lazily nestled on the sofa, picking her toes and nose. When she heard Jiang Xue's shouting, she just glanced at her coldly, snorted, and ignored her.

Jiang Xue wanted to explode, but there was no one to respond, so her anger was suppressed and her face turned green with rage.

She looked around angrily, but there was no sign of Qin Hongying.

She went out early in the morning and I don't know where she went. Doesn't she know that she and her son are still hungry?

Jiang Xue grew angrier the more she thought about it. She kicked Qin Daya and said imperiously, "Go cook! I'm starving. If my son gets sick from hunger, I'll never forgive you!"

Qin Daya was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her foot, whimpering under her breath. She turned over, her back to Jiang Xue, completely ignoring her.

No matter how angry Jiang Xue got, she acted as if nothing had happened, remaining silent and playing with her hair.

She never cooked when Qin Hongying was around, so why should she listen to Jiang Xue now?

She's hungry, not me.

It would be best if they starved to death!

Jiang Xue was furious after being given the cold shoulder, when the door creaked open.

Qin Hongying walked in looking disheveled, followed by Su Dahai, who was equally covered in dust and looked utterly miserable.

Jiang Xue's eyes darted around, and she immediately squeezed out a crocodile tear, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Father, you're finally back!"

You have no idea how vicious Aunt Qin is. She wants to starve me and your eldest grandson to death!

I don't know where he went gallivanting off to this morning, and he still hasn't cooked for us!

Listen to this! Your eldest grandson is crying his eyes out from hunger!

As she spoke, out of the three people's sight, Jiang Xue pinched the child's back hard, and the child, who had been sleeping peacefully, suddenly started wailing loudly like a broken gong.

Qin Hongying and Su Dahai got into a fight in the morning and were taken to the police station for mediation. Su Dahai's coworkers even saw it, and the two of them lost face completely.

At the police station, the two argued back and forth, each claiming to be right, neither willing to give in, and the argument escalated into a heated debate.

The police don't deal with family matters, so they let them calm down in the police station for most of the day before releasing them.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a time for family reunion, and even thieves know to keep a low profile.

The two of them, on the contrary, brazenly fought in the street, making it known to everyone.
