Su Nanxi immediately laughed in anger. Had she agreed?

Do you always feel that she won't refuse you when you come?

If you fall into a quagmire, don't hold onto your old mindset; it's exhausting!

Two people who clearly have no connection are forcing themselves to have some fabricated relationship; don't they feel guilty at all?

Too lazy to waste words, Su Nanxi turned around and went inside, and soon brought Zhao Shi out.

Zhao immediately understood that someone must have offended the mute girl, and the mute girl didn't want to get into a fight with him, so she pulled her out to block her.

Hey! She knows the answer to this question!

Zhao followed him out, and when she got to the door, she exclaimed, "Hey! This person looks familiar!"

After looking closely, I suddenly remembered who this was. I wondered why they didn't come in and talk, but instead chatted at the gate.

“I am the second sister-in-law of the mute woman. She can’t speak and can’t communicate with you, but it’s the same if you tell me anything. You seem to be Cao San Niang’s niece-in-law, right? Go ahead and tell me anything.”

Liu Jingqiu originally wanted to use that vague relationship to coerce Su Nanxi into agreeing, but since it was her second sister-in-law who came, how could she bring it up?

Zhao, however, didn't have much patience. She was cooking something in the kitchen and needed to watch the fire; who had time to waste? She immediately became impatient. "Hey, young lady, just say what you have to say. We're very busy! We really don't have time to waste with you! If you're not going to say anything, I'm going back!"

Seeing that Su Nanxi was about to turn around and go back, Liu Jingqiu quickly grabbed her hand. If Su Nanxi went back, how could they continue their conversation?

Zhao was displeased. "Why are you pulling on the mute girl? She can't talk to you! I've already said, you can talk to me, and I'll answer you!"

Liu Jingqiu chuckled awkwardly, slowly releasing Su Nanxi, but not completely. She turned to Zhao and said, "I told the mute woman that she only needs to agree or disagree. She can't speak, she just needs to nod or shake her head."

Then he turned to Su Nanxi and said, "Mute girl, is that right?"

Su Nanxi raised an eyebrow. Oh wow, that sounds a bit threatening!

Trying to force her to agree is like idiots; don't you even consider whether she'll fall for it?

Su Nanxi just looked at Liu Jingqiu quietly, and even smiled faintly, but she didn't nod or shake her head.

Zhao knew very well that Su Nanxi was smiling. Under normal circumstances, Su Nanxi would not smile with her lips curled up; when she wanted to smile, it was a smile that revealed a few white teeth.

If Su Nanxi ever smiles, it's definitely not a good thing!

Zhao had witnessed this several times; each time, it was Mo Yunmei who foolishly provoked Su Nanxi, and Su Nanxi, unable to bear it any longer, would take action.

If he smiles at Liu Jingqiu now, it means he must really hate Liu Jingqiu.

Zhao was quite perceptive; she immediately understood Su Nanxi's mood and stepped forward to pry Liu Jingqiu's hand away, shielding Su Nanxi behind her.

"The mute woman has already told you the answer, you should leave now!"

Liu Jingqiu was unwilling to give up. She looked at Su Nanxi, who was hiding behind her, and shouted, "Mute Mother, I want to see you make a choice with my own eyes. You won't refuse me, right? We used to be so good to each other. I've never treated anyone badly. I'm sure I've never wronged you. Don't you want to help me?"

Su Nanxi hated these people who thought they could emotionally manipulate others, and who were never satisfied with just one instance!

Su Nanxi gently patted Zhao's shoulder, pointed to the small courtyard, and then decisively turned and went inside.

Zhao understood and stopped being polite to Liu Jingqiu. "Let's go! We're busy and don't have time. If you have any difficulties, go to your husband for help first, and if that doesn't work, go to your mother-in-law's house, instead of coming to the mute girl. The mute girl has nothing to do with you. Don't try to force her to submit. She has her limits."

Without waiting for Liu Jingqiu's reaction, Zhao ran inside.

She needs to watch the fire; it's considered very bad for someone who's cooking to run off to do something else halfway through.

She was terribly worried that she would mess this up. This wasn't just for her to eat; it had to be delivered to the construction site!

Liu Jingqiu stretched out her hand, then froze in mid-air for a while without moving.

She hadn't expected Su Nanxi to actually reject her. On the way here, she had thought about it dozens of times, going over all the possible outcomes in her mind, but she never imagined being rejected!

She was completely dumbfounded. How could this mute woman dare to refuse her?

She used to be her maid, but now she's forgotten her master! Shouldn't she immediately help her former mistress when she's in trouble?

Her request wasn't too high; with the mute girl's abilities, she could easily fulfill it!

All she needs to do is think a little more and come up with a way to make money that suits her!

She had heard that the Mo family used to be dirt poor, but things gradually improved after the mute woman came to live with them. They started a breakfast business, which grew bigger and bigger, and they made more and more money!

That mute woman is so ungrateful! She'll help the Mo family, but she won't even lend a hand to her former master!

It's just a little help, and she won't have to live such a hard life.

Liu Jingqiu's inherent pride prevented her from bowing to reality and acknowledging her situation, leading her to torment herself from time to time.

Finally, unable to swallow her pride, Liu Jingqiu could only grit her teeth and leave.

Perhaps because she couldn't stay still, Luo kept an eye on the situation outside and overheard Zhao and Liu Jingqiu's conversation. Seeing Liu Jingqiu walk away, she curled her lip in disdain.

When Zhao returned, she told the others about Liu Jingqiu. The others all said not to pay attention to that person, as she was being too demanding, coming to ask for help time and time again without even speaking properly!

Mo Qinghe pulled Su Nanxi's hand and said, "Wife, you can't spoil that kind of person. She keeps asking you to help her, and she acts like it's her right! If you help her this time, she'll ask you to help her countless times in the future! She'll have a million reasons to ask you to help her, and you'll have to help her whether you want to or not."

Su Nanxi nodded in agreement. Liu Jingqiu had no sense of gratitude and always felt that she owed her a lot. She only knew how to ask her to do things based on unproven relationships. With such a mentality, it was better to refuse early on, since she would have to refuse sooner or later anyway!

Upon hearing this, Luo was worried that others would also talk about her, so she didn't dare to say anything more and sat to the side.

After lunch, another group of people from the Mo family arrived.

A middle-aged man and a young man, who looked somewhat alike, were probably father and son.

Su Nanxi didn't recognize her, and seeing that Old Lady Mo wasn't very hospitable, she instinctively felt that they weren't good relatives, so she ignored them.

The two men looked around as soon as they entered, as if searching for something. When they saw Mo Yunmei, their gazes lingered for a while, and they even nodded in satisfaction.

This made Su Nanxi think that it was probably because Mo Yunmei had come to see the person in person and was satisfied before making a decision.

But seeing that Old Madam Mo didn't look happy at all, Su Nanxi was confused again. Could it be that she guessed wrong?

The two men went to the main room and chatted with the two elders, Mo and his wife.

"You want to pick them up earlier?"
