The boss had a main store in the south and wanted her to work there, but she didn't agree because she didn't trust Wang Guilan. However, she really couldn't stand her mother's behavior. She had suffered so much contempt and abuse since she was a child, and people even said that daughters resemble their mothers. With a mother like Wang Guilan, she was no decent person either.

She's had enough!

Wang Guilan was startled and stared at Xing'er in astonishment. Realizing that Xing'er wasn't joking, she panicked and asked, "Where...are you going?"

"The outside world is so big, there's always somewhere I can go." Xing'er's expression was indifferent, but her eyes were slightly red. She didn't want to go to extremes unless she was pushed to the limit.

"You...you heartless bastard, I raised you with such hardship..."

“If you don’t care about me, then I don’t need to care about you either. Mother, if you still care about me, then take out all the money. Don’t force me!” Xing’er interrupted Wang Guilan.

When Tang Yuanyuan first saw Xing'er, she looked very much like Wang Guilan, but Xing'er's eyebrows and eyes were more upright, unlike Wang Guilan's seductive appearance. This shows that Xing'er is indeed an upright person, completely different from her mother.

"Let's go over there."

Tang Yuanyuan could see that Xing'er was in a very awkward situation. Anyone would feel awkward in that situation. Xing'er had already done a very good job. It was just a pity that Wang Guilan did not understand her daughter's good intentions.

"No need to take it all out, deduct some..."

Xing'er interrupted Uncle Niu again, and said seriously, "Grandpa Niu, although you are highly respected, you can't just say whatever you want. That money was borrowed by my mother from Uncle Guifu. What needs to be deducted? You should pay back whatever amount is due. If I hear anyone gossiping behind my back again, don't blame me for not considering our fellow villagers. We'll see each other in court!"

Uncle Niu looked embarrassed. He had indeed bullied others today, but there was nothing he could do. He could be righteous in front of Wang Guilan, but he always felt inferior in front of Xing'er.

“Alright, we’ll treat it as a loan, have your mother pay it back, and from now on this debt will be wiped clean. We, the Niu family, will never talk nonsense outside,” Uncle Niu promised.

He didn't want to make things difficult for the younger generation. He believed in not underestimating a young person's potential, and Xing'er seemed to have a promising future. He didn't want to push things too far.

"I disagree... I..." Wang Guilan didn't get a chance to shout before Xing'er's cold glare silenced her. Although she was unwilling, she didn't dare to really anger her daughter.

Tang Yuanyuan walked over, smiled at Xing'er, and said to Tiedan, "Put your elder brother down. It's just about collecting a debt. There's no need to make things awkward between us, we're all neighbors."

Tie Dan climbed the tree, put Brother Niu down, and told him to carry the man and put on his pants so he wouldn't embarrass himself.

Tang Yuanyuan said softly, "You don't have to give me the money now. If you can't raise it all at once, you can pay me in installments."

"No need for installments, we'll pay in full at once." Xing'er straightened her back, trying to appear more assertive.

"You brat, where did you get so much money from? You've only been working for a few days, and you think you're all grown up and can take charge of the household?" Wang Guilan cursed. How could she have given birth to such a stupid daughter? Others are stupid enough to take in money but not stupid enough to give it away, but her daughter is stupid enough to give it away but not stupid enough to take in money. It made her furious.

Xing'er said expressionlessly, "I know you have it. Take it out and give it back!"

"I have no money!" Wang Guilan refused outright. Why should she give up the money she had worked so hard to save?

Xing'er looked at her coldly without saying a word, and went into the house. Everyone wondered what she was going to do. Tang Yuanyuan realized something was wrong and was about to ask Tie Dan to check when Xing'er came out with a gleaming kitchen knife. Everyone was startled.

"What are you going to do?" Wang Guilan felt a chill run down her spine.

Xing'er held the blade to her neck, and Wang Guilan's legs went weak. Uncle Niu panicked too; he only wanted money and didn't intend to kill anyone.

"Pay me back and I'll live, don't pay me back and I'll die, you choose!" Xing'er said, enunciating each word clearly.
