Tao Ying quickly hugged Wang Chunni, feeling somewhat at a loss. She might be able to say something to a young girl, but she really didn't know what to say or how to comfort Wang Chunni, who was already twenty-five years old.

"Mom, sister, what's wrong?" Wang Baoshan returned with a teacup and saw the mother and sister crying together, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"Chunni, Mom wants to take you and the child back home. Will you come back with Mom?" Tao Ying wiped away her tears, took the teacup, and asked Wang Baoshan to help Wang Chunni up.

“Mom…” Wang Chunni looked at Tao Ying in disbelief.

This was something Wang Chunni had never imagined. From childhood to adulthood, Wang Chunni had never received any favoritism from her mother.

She married Li Aijun when she was sent to the countryside and couldn't survive there. Li Aijun was the only son in his family. Although her mother-in-law didn't like her, she was able to eat and dress well, and Li Aijun was considerate of her. She did live a good life for two years. But for some reason, Li Aijun's eyes gradually became filled with disdain when he looked at her.

His life was getting harder and harder, and even his daughter was disliked by Li Aijun because of him.

"Chunni, if you and your child stay here, you'll only die. Your father is gone, but the factory has promised to give you a job," Tao Ying gently advised, afraid that the child would be too stubborn to go back.

"Mom, what happened to Dad?" Wang Chunni's eyes were filled with tears again as she looked at Tao Ying in disbelief.

“There was an accident while I was working at the factory, and it was your dad who appeared to me in a dream, saying that you weren’t doing well,” Tao Ying explained.

"Mom, will Baojun and his wife agree to let me go back? Li Aijun and my mother-in-law won't let us leave either, will they?" Wang Chunni gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, lowered her head, and whispered.

“Sister, Mom kicked my eldest brother and sister-in-law out, and your mother-in-law, that old hag, and that bastard Li Aijun were taken away by the police. Mom even killed the pigs.” Wang Baoshan squatted in front of the bed and said to Wang Chunni with great enthusiasm.

"Mom? You kicked Baojun and the other guy out?" Wang Chunni looked at Tao Ying in disbelief.

Wang Chunni knew how much her mother cared about Baojun. If it weren't for her maternal grandparents stopping her, her mother would have given her job to Baojun.

“Chunni, our home will always be your home. You don’t need anyone’s permission to go back to your own home. As long as you agree to divorce Li Aijun, Mom will take you home,” Tao Ying assured her.

"Can we take Daya back with us?" Wang Chunni hugged Tao Ying tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Take her back." Tao Ying gently wiped away Wang Chunni's tears with her free hand.

"Mom, Li Aijun is having an affair. I miscarried because I caught him cheating on Zhang Yue. They threw me in the pigsty. If it weren't for Daya secretly bringing me food, I might never have seen you again." Wang Chunni's tears flowed down her face like broken pearls.

"That black wild boar meat? Li Aijun really isn't picky, he'll eat anything." Tao Ying glanced at Wang Chunni, who was so thin she looked unrecognizable, and then thought of Zhang Yue, who looked like black wild boar meat, and instantly realized that Li Aijun was really hungry.

"Black wild boar meat?" Wang Chunni looked at Tao Ying in confusion.

"Don't you think that woman is dark-skinned and fat, and yet she insists on wearing a floral shirt? Doesn't she look just like a piece of black wild boar?" Tao Ying said with a chuckle.

"Sis, yesterday that old hag and that scoundrel were taken away by the police. Mom wiped them all out." Wang Baoshan said with sparkling eyes, his gaze full of admiration.

"Really? Mom, will they be targeted by firing squads?" Wang Chunni was genuinely furious.

"I'm going to the police station tomorrow to present them with a banner, but I don't know if their family still has any connections to get them out of trouble." Tao Ying also felt that shooting was the best outcome.

Once Li Aijun is dead, this family will never be able to get Chunni to return the child.

“His family is gone. Li Aijun is an only child. His father passed away three years ago.” Wang Chunni didn’t think the Li family could have any connections.

"Then who were those two men who came with the hoes yesterday? One was old and the other was young?" Tao Ying looked at Wang Chunni in confusion. Those two were fighting quite hard.

"Mom, you might be talking about Zhang Yue's father and brother. There's not a single good person in that family. They even tried to..." Wang Chunni felt nauseous just thinking about the father and son.

"Mom, I'm going to raid their house today," Wang Baoshan said, clenching his fists and his eyes bloodshot.

"Are you crazy? Do you want to go eat peanuts with them? Can't you use your brain when things happen?" Tao Ying couldn't help but scold Wang Baoshan.

If he weren't holding a teacup in one hand and a spoon in the other, he would have liked to give Wang Baoshan a couple of whacks.

I always feel that just cursing isn't enough to vent my anger, and my hands feel itchy.

"Mom, what are your thoughts?"

"Mom, do you have any good ideas?"

As soon as Tao Ying finished speaking, Wang Baoshan and Wang Chunni spoke at the same time, their two pairs of clear, dark eyes staring straight at her.

Tao Ying: "..." These two debt collectors.

"You two don't need to worry about it. I'll just get that old geezer in jail tomorrow," Tao Ying said mysteriously, then started serving Wang Chunni malted milk powder.

"Mom, I can drink it myself." Wang Chunni raised her hand, intending to drink it herself.

Actually, Wang Chunni's illness wasn't very serious; she felt much better after finishing the IV drip.

"If you can work, you can do all the housework when we get home." Tao Ying dodged Wang Chunni's hand.

"Okay, Mom, you can have your salary too." Wang Chunni didn't think anything was wrong.

“That’s settled then. If you give it to me, I won’t save it for you; I’ll spend it all.” Tao Ying didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

“I gave it to Mom. She can spend it however she wants.” Wang Chunni didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

"Did you hear that? Learn from your sister and be a good son to your mother." Tao Ying raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wang Baoshan, who was squatting to the side.

"Mom, I'm still in school. Why don't you let my older brothers and my sister learn from me? They didn't pay you a single penny." At this moment, Wang Baoshan decided to sacrifice his friends rather than himself.

“Yes, I’ll go back and ask them for the money.” Tao Ying strongly agreed with Wang Baoshan’s point of view.

Wang Chunni “…”

After feeding Wang Chunni the malted milk powder, Tao Ying gave her a sip of water before helping her lie down. "Chunni, go back to sleep."

"Okay, Mom." Wang Chunni stared intently at Tao Ying, her eyes full of dependence.

Tao Ying sighed, took Wang Chunni's hand, and gently patted it—a child who lacked love.

Wang Chunni was still too weak and fell asleep soon after. Tao Ying sighed and got up.

Wang Baoshan had already rearranged the stool. "Mom, I don't need you to take pictures. I'm all grown up now, I can sleep by myself."

"I'll give you two kicks, see if that helps. I don't know why you talk so much all day long. If you're not sleepy, go stand guard at the gate." Tao Ying glared fiercely at Wang Baoshan.

At five o'clock the next day, Tao Ying opened her eyes wide and stared at the ceiling with a face full of resentment.
