Yang Yimei said in a daze, "Mom... don't go. They just called Jimin's workplace and said that Jimin used his position to help people evade taxes. I need to go back right now."

Edamame: What does that mean?

“Mom, Yang Wanwan and her sisters are no longer the ones we used to be able to bully. These girls are really strange. Look at Uncle’s family situation. So, we should keep our distance from them from now on and not provoke them anymore.”

Yang Youneng also said, "Yes, those sisters shouldn't provoke us anymore. I told you so, but you didn't believe me. Yimei, you should hurry back to the county town and see if Jimin's matter has been affected."

Yang Yimei went to pack her things, and Maodouhua paused for a moment before saying, "Yang Youneng, are you still thinking about that deadbeat? Is that why you're always siding with those sisters? Let me tell you, don't think I don't know your filthy thoughts..."

"Edamame! Shut up! Wasn't it all your fault that Yimei got involved? Now Jimin has lost his job, what more do you want?"

"You, Yang Youneng, are you blaming me now? If you weren't so incompetent, would I have even considered this? If you weren't so wicked, would things be like this now? You can't do anything right, and you're telling me to stop others from doing it?"

This was a veiled message, and Yang Youneng's eyes blazed with anger, but he was helpless.

After saying all that, Maodouhua said contemptuously, "You're all just bullies at home! Does Yang Wanwan think that means Jimin's job is gone? Stupid! Who is Yang Wanwan? Who knows her? You're scared off by a little girl and you're completely disoriented! Alright, I'm going to your grandma's house now. When I get back, I'll teach that bitch Yang Wanwan a lesson."

As for Yang Dali's sentencing, Maodouhua simply did not believe that it was Yang Wanwan's doing, but rather that someone higher up was targeting Yang Dali.

At Yang Wanwan's home.

After cleaning the house, Yang Wanwan and the others went to the field to pick fresh vegetables. Some would be eaten today, and some would be taken to the county town.

The red and green rapeseed shoots grew very tall, the garlic sprouts were fresh and vibrant, some of the spinach was already old, the Chinese cabbages were tightly wrapped, and the garland chrysanthemums were bursting with juice...

Shang Tao happily introduced his achievements, while Yang Wanwan carried a basket and picked a lot of vegetables.

Er Ye picked vegetables and muttered, "Sister, there's something strange I've been wanting to say, but I don't remember saying it."

"What's up?"

"My family has a lot of vegetables, right? Actually, I suspect that someone has been stealing my vegetables. Not just vegetables, but also eggs. Someone is stealing them."

Shang Tao and Hu Youkai were playing around on the side, and Shang Tao chimed in, "Yeah, eldest sister, I feel the same way, but I don't dare tell second sister, I'm afraid she'll be scared."

Yang Wanwan straightened up. "What exactly happened?"

Futaba said, "It started around April or May last year. I felt that things in the house would go missing every now and then."

"So, it's been quite a long time?"

That's right.

Why weren't you told?

“When I first discovered it, I wasn’t sure. Later, when we came to the county town, you were so busy, and we were all busy, so we forgot about it. Besides, these things weren’t missing in a particularly obvious way, so I didn’t say anything. Also, it seems like someone has been in the house sometimes and rummaged through the cabinets. But it’s not very obvious either; I just have a vague feeling about it.”

Shang Tao quickly said, "I felt it too!"

Yang Wanwan frowned.

Who could this be?

What are we supposed to do?

Since both Er Ye and Shang Tao sensed it, then someone must have done these things.

Er Ye and Shang Tao concluded that the thief had stolen vegetables from her garden, fruit from the front gate, dried vegetables, meat from the kitchen, eggs from the henhouse, and more. They also searched her cupboards, so they figured he was probably trying to steal money.

Unfortunately, most of Yang Wanwan's money was either in the bank or hidden in her spatial storage. The daily allowance she gave to Er Ye and Shang Tao was only a dozen or twenty yuan.

Er Ye calculated that she had lost forty or fifty yuan in total.

Shang Tao lost more than 100 yuan.

Stealing vegetables and money, this person must be a thief, right?

Moreover, this person should be from the village.

While pondering this matter, I returned home to find that Grandma Yang and Hu Youjin had already killed two chickens and were plucking their feathers in front of the well. The chicken feathers didn't smell very good, but they did indicate a comfortable life.

Grandpa Yang sat under the eaves smoking, looking troubled. "Wanwan, your uncle has been sentenced to five years in prison. Sigh, the New Year has been a complete mess at home."

Grandpa Yang tapped his pipe, his eyebrows furrowing in frustration.

Yang Xinqiao was confirmed to be involved in Wang Guixiang's case and was also sentenced to three years in prison.

Yang Dali went to jail, Cao Xinchun, Yang Qingxia, and Nian Meili were detained for several days, and Yang Qingqiu was punished for theft at school... This family is indeed living a very difficult life.

Yang Qingqiu did not return for the Spring Festival. Only Cao Xinchun and Yang Qingxia, a married couple, spent a miserable New Year with their young grandson.

As always, Yang Qingchun locked himself in his room and refused to come out.

Grandma Yang snorted, "He brought this on himself, he has no one else to blame."

Grandpa Yang sighed and said, "I don't blame anyone else. I only blame him for being wicked and not taking the right path."

Although the winter sun wasn't particularly warm, the sparse rays filtering through the grape trellis and falling on people had a gentle feel to them.

The grass around the yard has sprouted and the branches are turning green; spring has quietly arrived in this place.

But Grandpa Yang's sigh immediately made the children, who were originally happy, look at each other and feel a little strange.

Grandma Yang was very unhappy. "The children have finally come back, can't you say something happy? I didn't say anything because you have to take care of them, but don't mention these things in front of Wanwan and her sisters! If it weren't for them harming Wanwan, she wouldn't be in this situation today! If you ask me, this is retribution!"

Grandpa Yang said helplessly, "Look at you, I didn't say anything. Wanwan, don't take it to heart, Grandpa just couldn't help it, it's definitely not your fault."

Yang Wanwan smiled. "Grandpa, I understand how you feel. Don't worry, as long as others don't mess with me, I definitely won't go so far as to kill them. Grandpa, don't worry, as long as people are willing to walk the right path, they will definitely be able to live a good life."

Grandpa Yang sighed, "Actually, Grandpa is also worried about you. Now the villagers say that you sisters are too hard-hearted. Grandpa is old and can't protect you anymore. I just hope that you will be more tactful in the future and not let others take advantage of you."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be careful."

Too hard-hearted?

People easily stand on a moral high ground to judge others without even considering their own conduct. Yang Wanwan naturally remained silent on such claims.

They never considered whether the Yang sisters would survive if they continued to be weak.
