Hou Xiangqin didn't care about that. Since she had already started talking, she might as well say everything she wanted to say.

"Think about it yourself. Over the years, your Uncle Chen has never done anything wrong to you. Xiaojun is your Uncle Chen's biological son, as are Bao'er and Acai. You are the only outsider in this family, but your Uncle Chen still raised you for my sake. Isn't it only natural that you repay him?"

"Then where is my biological father? Why doesn't he raise me?"

Hou Xiangqin, who wanted to continue chattering, seemed to be strangled by someone and suddenly couldn't say a word.

It took her a while to find her voice again, "Your father died a long time ago, otherwise how could I marry your Uncle Chen."

It was like this every time. Whenever Wei Mian mentioned his biological father, Hou Xiangqin's reaction was very strange. Later, she simply said that the man had died a long time ago.

But when Wei Mian first came, he looked in the mirror and saw that the original owner's sun and moon corners were full, which showed that her parents were still alive, but they separated when she was very young. There was absolutely no such thing as losing her father.

Wei Mian couldn't understand why Hou Xiangqin hid this.

Because she occupied the original owner's body, Hou Xiangqin was her blood relative, and she was considered a person rather than herself. Wei Mian could only make some inferences based on her facial features.

Hou Xiangqin was born in a very poor family. She is one of four siblings.

But since the original owner could remember, Hou Xiangqin had never mentioned her brothers and sisters, or even her parents, as if Wei Mian and she were the only two people born in this world.

Wei Mian looked through the original owner's memories about this part, and she was also curious about this aspect.

Wei Mian didn't ask about her biological father very often. Every time, it was when she was wronged and Hou Xiangqin still didn't stand on her side. But later, she was wronged so many times that there was no point in asking this question, so she stopped asking.

Therefore, when Wei Mian suddenly asked this question a few years later, Hou Xiangqin was so surprised, but she quickly adjusted herself.

"Don't say those useless things. You can't be a heartless person. Your Uncle Chen worked hard to raise you. Now that you're grown up, you have to support him without any problems. Otherwise, how will the people in the town look at me? They will poke my spine and say that the girl I brought here is an ungrateful person who doesn't care about home when she goes out. Your Uncle Chen will be very upset when he returns to work-"

Before she could finish the word "face", Wei Mian suddenly interrupted her.

"No money."

Hou Xiangqin felt a surge of anger rising to her chest. "What did you say?"

"I said I had no money," Wei Mian thought about what the original owner had been through over the years and felt extremely suffocated, as if the original owner's emotions were affecting her. "I got into college, but you wouldn't let me go, saying my family had no money and told me to work in a wire factory. I said I could work to earn my own tuition, but you didn't agree. When you saw that I insisted on going to school, you kicked me out. It's been a year and you haven't contacted me."

"That's because the family has no money. Can't you understand a little bit?" Hou Xiangqin scolded bluntly.

"Over the past year, I've worked so hard to earn all my tuition and living expenses. I haven't even saved enough for sophomore year tuition yet. Now you're asking me to pay for the family? That's what you keep saying. I'm the only outsider in this family. Why should I support them? Do you think I'm crazy?"

"You still don't have money? All those men who date you drive luxury cars. The money they give us is enough for our family to live on. You're just a little girl with no social experience. How can you earn tens of thousands of dollars a year? It all comes from them—"

Anyone with a little wit would understand what she meant. Wei Mian was so angry she laughed. Was this something a mother could say? She actually falsely accused her daughter of engaging in high-end services. She didn't want to listen to Hou Xiangqin's nonsense anymore. She wouldn't give her the money no matter what.

So she said, "I won't give it to you even if I have money," and hung up the phone.

If Hou Xiangqin and Chen Baozhu divorce one day, or if she loses her source of income and cannot make a living, Wei Mian will naturally provide for her in her old age.

Since she has occupied someone else's daughter's body, she will not ignore it.

But she only needs to pay some money financially, and she won't have to think about paying more. When the time comes, she will choose a nursing home that suits her and send her there.

Wei Mian hung up the phone and didn't take it to heart. After all, Hou Xiangqin could only talk about it on the phone, and it was impossible for her to come to Qingping.

Now the family's main source of income depends on Chen Baozhu, and he has always been very tight with money. Hou Xiangqin is afraid that she doesn't even have money to buy a train ticket.

Wei Mian is not short of money at all now. In the matter of Zheng Heng, the Zheng family gave him a total of 50 million in compensation.

She could only say that they were indeed a famous Tianshi family in the country, and their family background was rich.

Wei Mian kept half and donated the rest. In addition to the money, she was also injured in this incident, but she also gained a lot.

No one knew how many evil things the skinny old man had done. After Wei Mian strangled him with the Soul-Destroying Formation, golden light of merit suddenly descended from the sky.

The golden light wrapped Wei Mian and repaired her body for more than ten minutes.

The originally unstable soul became much stronger under the baptism of the golden light of merit, and his cold hands and feet also warmed up. Wei Mian could clearly feel that the degree of integration between his soul and body had increased a bit.

If there were two more characters like the old man, her soul and body would surely be completely integrated.

[Do you know where the famous Taoist temple is here? ]

Zheng Hao had been accompanying the old man in the hospital for several days. One day, he was called out by some friends. He had just drunk a glass of wine when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Zheng Hao squinted his eyes and looked over, then opened them and replied when he saw the sender clearly.

"We have one in Qingping City. There's a Sanqing Temple on Hongye Mountain. The abbot, Master Xie, is quite capable. Boss, do you need to go there for something? I'll give you a ride."

Wei Mian thought about it and realized that if it was on the Red Leaf Mountain, it was too far from the small building and it was not suitable to ride a bike there.

Thank you very much. I would like to go tomorrow.

[Okay, I'll call you at the door tomorrow morning.]

Zheng Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wei Mian send him an OK expression. He immediately said goodbye to his brothers and went home. Since he had to send the boss to Sanqing Temple tomorrow, he couldn't stay up all night tonight.

"Why are you going back so early? We just got here. I'll treat you guys later. Let's go to Dihao KTV for a party!"

A boy in a flowered shirt saw Zheng Hao about to leave and quickly stood up to stop him.

Zheng Hao refused, "No, I have to go out tomorrow and I have to go home now."
