Mo slammed his hand on the table. "You've really grown up! You've mastered the whole 'one cry, two tantrums, three threats of hanging' trick! Next time, don't make a sound when you kick the chair! You threaten to hang yourself over the smallest thing! Didn't they tell you that if you succeed this time, you can get whatever you want in the future?"

Mo Yunmei, with two teary eyes, asked, "How did you know?"

Mo Laoda got even angrier and pointed at Mo Yunmei, yelling, "You're like an idiot! You'd be sold out and still help the seller count the money! You believe everything people say, but why don't you listen to what your family says? Do you even use your brain when you do things? How old are you? You're still acting like a little kid!"

Mo Yunmei had never been scolded like this by her older brother before. She felt extremely wronged and tears streamed down her face, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Su Nanxi came in and was speechless. How dare they use the hanging joke!

I don't know whether to call them heartless or brainless!

Using one's own power to threaten others in order to achieve one's own goals is a trick that even a three-year-old wouldn't play.

In the evening, Su Nanxi boiled eggs again.

Mo Yunmei didn't get to eat any steamed buns and cried for a long time. She was tired and hungry. Remembering the eggs from last night, she got up and ran to the kitchen, and as usual, she directly scooped up the eggs with her hands.

Su Nanxi did not stop them. After putting out the fire, she leisurely went back.

A moment later, a sound of vomiting came from the corner.

Su Nanxi smiled and walked back into the house with light steps.

Mo Qinghe sensed that his wife was very happy, and he happily ate the eggs as well.

In the dead of night, after confirming that the person next to him was asleep, Mo Qinghe got up. He drank the water from the bamboo tube that Su Nanxi had specially hung outside his bed, rested for a while, and then carefully put his feet down on the bed, slowly stood up, and slowly moved one step at a time.

The Mo family decided to try selling steamed buns. They made them twice, and both tasted good, but the appearance wasn't very appealing. They would get the hang of it after making more.

When Mo Laoda heard that Mo Qinghe wanted to raise a dog to guard the house, he specially went to the village and bought a small local dog that was not long old. Raising it from a puppy would make it easier to take care of.

The children absolutely loved it; it was so fluffy and adorable. They were all glued to the puppy, unable to tear themselves away, and even discussed naming it Laifu.

The little dog, Laifu, was so frightened by the group of enthusiastic children that it kept backing away, whimpering, and even pulled up a safety line. It wouldn't eat when offered food.

Boss Mo chased the kids away, but the little dog was still terrified and afraid of people getting close.

Seeing that it hadn't eaten all day, Su Nanxi took pity on it and mixed some spiritual spring water into its food. It couldn't resist the temptation and finished its meal in one go. Then, looking at Su Nanxi, it wanted more.

Su Nanxi didn't give her any more; she couldn't eat too much at once.

From then on, the puppy Laifu became fixated on Su Nanxi and would ask her for food every time it was time to eat.

There was a noise at night, and the puppy kept barking. Su Nanxi woke up and got up to check. She saw a light and shadow moving in the yard. She quietly approached and found that someone was trying to steal the sheep.

You dare steal my sheep! You've got some nerve!

I don't care who you are, I'll scare you to death!

Su Nanxi took out a flashlight, pointed it at her face from below, and turned it on to the lowest setting. The light was dim, and her face looked a little pale in the darkness.

Hearing the noise, the sheep thief turned around and saw a deathly pale face. He was so terrified that he wet himself and fell to the ground, screaming in horror, "Ah! A ghost!"

Forget about the sheep, and ran away as fast as it could.

Su Nanxi turned off the flashlight and scoffed, "How dare you steal with such a small amount of courage!"

By the moonlight, she closed the sheepfold gate before going back inside. Laifu ran around her in circles, almost tripping her.

Sigh! Owning a dog has its pros and cons!

I'll let it slide since you just did something right.

Su Nanxi closed the door, climbed into bed, and continued sleeping.

Mo Qinghe woke up when he heard the dog barking. Just as he was wondering whether to get up, his wife scrambled up, jumped out of bed, and quietly left the room. He was startled; his wife was skilled!

My thoughts immediately calmed down, and I lay quietly, listening to the sounds outside.

Upon hearing the cry of "Ghost!", Mo Qinghe laughed rather unkindly.

Seeing his wife return, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Hearing the steady, long breathing sounds coming from beside him, Mo Qinghe smiled helplessly.

Hearing the noise, Boss Mo got up to check, but found nothing and went back to sleep.

The next day, Mo Laoda bought twenty catties of flour and handed it over to Mo Laotai for safekeeping.

The Mo family's steamed bun business is about to begin.

They worked hard for two days to prepare everything they needed, and of course, the filling had to be prepared every day.

That evening, the Mo family held a family meeting to arrange everyone's work for the upcoming period.

As the head of the family, Old Man Mo naturally spoke first at this meeting. "Ahem! We'll be starting a small steamed bun business tomorrow. We owe this income to Mute Mother, so we should all thank her! Mute Mother could have kept it all to herself and run the business separately after the family split up, but she didn't. She had the whole family work together, so we can all make money. Ask yourselves, could you be so generous? Shouldn't we be grateful?"

Everyone looked at Su Nanxi and nodded vigorously, "We should be grateful!"

Old Mo was very satisfied and continued, "The mute woman came to our family as our third son's wife, and she is also a member of our family. She can't speak, so we should be more tolerant and understanding. We must maintain the reputation of our family in public. Do you understand the principle that we all share the same fate? Don't think that you can elevate yourselves by slandering others. Do you still remember what happened to the Li family?"

Everyone nodded, remembering that it had caused quite a commotion back then.

Next came the work assignments. Old Man Mo looked around at everyone. "The eldest and second eldest sons, along with their wives, will go sell steamed buns. With more people, they can help each other out. The mute mother will be in charge of kneading the dough and preparing the fillings. The children will be responsible for digging wild vegetables, picking mushrooms, and gathering firewood. The third son will help with sorting vegetables and picking mushrooms. This is the arrangement for now, and we can adjust it if there are any changes. Everyone has to work. Anyone who slacks off won't get to eat."

Everyone had no objections, but Mo Yunmei was not happy about it. So many people were working, what difference would it make if she was the only one missing? She worked so hard that her hands and feet became rough, how would she find a good husband in the future?

The Mo family's attitude towards Su Nanxi changed again. Old Man Mo still had a way of speaking; his words were ordinary, yet he could bring everyone in the family together and create cohesion.

After the meeting, everyone went back to their rooms. As usual, Su Nanxi went to boil the pot—oh no, I mean boil the eggs.

Mo Yunmei rushed over and demanded, "Did you do this on purpose last night?"

Su Nanxi pretended to be clueless.

Mo Yunmei pointed at her angrily, "You! You did it on purpose! You deliberately cooked a rotten egg for me!"

Pshaw! Who's so bored as to deliberately boil rotten eggs!

Mo Yunmei felt that Su Nanxi was doing it on purpose, and angrily stepped forward to overturn the small pot so that Su Nanxi could not cook.

If she doesn't have eggs to eat, then nobody else will!

She knew that Su Nanxi boiled eggs, and her mother tacitly approved of it; no one said much about it. But she would say no!

A new bride who doesn't know how to respect her parents-in-law and love her sister-in-law is considered unfilial!

"Ouch!!! It's burning me!"
