"Mother! This ugly monster is trying to harm me! I can't move now!"

Mo Yunmei suddenly realized that she could speak now, and worried that she would not be able to speak again in a while, so she quickly shouted.

Grandma Mo finally looked up and saw that Mo Yunmei seemed to be frozen in place. She subconsciously looked at Su Nanxi and thought that it must have been her third daughter-in-law who had done it.

Having figured it out, he replied calmly, "I didn't see anything, don't talk nonsense!"

Mo Yunmei panicked a little. The victory she thought she had won vanished in an instant, and she was still in a very passive position.

It must have been that ugly freak who did it!

That's outrageous! They actually resorted to underhanded tactics!

As expected of someone from one of those families, she's incredibly cunning and scheming, a master of underhanded tricks. Look how infatuated she is with her third brother!

Su Nanxi really didn't try to hide anything. So what if she was the one who did it? If she keeps babbling, she might as well shut her mouth!

Sensing a threat, Mo Yunmei cried out, begging Old Lady Mo to save her. When Old Lady Mo ignored her, she panicked.

In the end, he started crying and shouting, making a lot of noise.

Su Nanxi least wanted to hear these sounds; they were so noisy!

With a wave of his hand, the world fell silent, and everything returned to normal, except for Mo Yunmei's wide, terrified eyes.

Lijiazhuang is quite remote. To be honest, it's very mountainous and even poorer than Changna Village!

They quickly found Li Haisheng's home, which consisted of only three thatched houses surrounding a small courtyard, where his entire family lived.

When Mo Yunmei saw it, she was shocked again. How could it be so dilapidated! Where would she stay when she came back?

They're even poorer than the Mo family used to be!

Waaah! She doesn't want to come back!

Judging from their situation, they probably can't even get a thick bowl of plain porridge, let alone meat!

She wanted to stay in the Mo family, at least she could eat her fill three meals a day and have meat every day!

There's no harm in comparison!

Why did her biological father say that her home was great and that she would definitely like it when she came back?

How can anyone like this!

Once you get here, Mo Yunmei can do whatever she wants anymore!

Li Haisheng wasn't home; only his mother was. She was stunned for a while when she saw the Mo family arrive. Only when she saw Mo Yunmei following behind did she remember what was going on.

Su Nanxi released Mo Yunmei's acupoints, put the bundle from the oxcart on her, and then pushed her forward.

After realizing what was happening, Old Lady Li's face instantly darkened, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust and disdain, and her tone was also very cold.

"You've come at the wrong time today. Haisheng is out and we don't know when he'll be back. Please come another day!"

Old Mo asked, "Where did he go? Do you know what day it is today?"

Old Mrs. Li said irritably, her triangular eyes bulging out in a frightening way, "How would I know where he went! He has hands and feet, he can go wherever he wants! What day is it? I'm just an old woman, half-buried in the ground, how could I remember so many trivial things! What you want to do, just wait until Haisheng comes back, I'm just an old woman who doesn't understand anything!"

The rest of the Mo family just chuckled to themselves, pretending not to understand and simply not wanting to pay attention!

When Mo Laoda saw that Li Laotai's attitude was so bad, it was obvious that she didn't want Mo Yunmei to go back, so he didn't want to talk to her nicely anymore. After all, you have to be unreasonable with unreasonable people!

"It doesn't matter if you don't know where Li Haisheng went, just go find him and bring him back. Don't even think about hiding or making excuses today, I'm telling you right now!"

Today is the auspicious day you forced us to set back then, down to the exact hour. We have returned the person safely as agreed. You have no choice but to accept it, whether you like it or not; it's already been handed over to you. The agreement between the Mo family and your Li family is now over, and we will have no further dealings! If you refuse to accept it, then we'll see you at the yamen!

Boss Mo's voice was strong and clear, each word distinct and forceful. Towards the end, he emphasized his words, displaying great authority.

Old Mrs. Li was once again intimidated. She knew perfectly well that she had to take this granddaughter back today, but she was very unhappy and just didn't want to take her back. She thought that the Mo family had raised her for so long and had developed feelings for her, so they couldn't bear to part with her and would give them some money so that they would treat Mo Yunmei well.

As it turned out, the Mo family was very cold-hearted and spoke without any politeness. They weren't afraid that the Mo family would treat Mo Yunmei badly, which made her dislike Mo Yunmei even more.

It was completely useless. We didn't get anything, and we didn't even manage to bring anything back to the Li family!

Mo Yunmei only had a small bundle on her, which looked empty, so there was definitely nothing good inside!

Grandma Li guessed correctly; the bundle only contained Mo Yunmei's clothes, nothing else.

Although she disliked Mo Yunmei, Old Lady Li still dared not refuse to accept the money. Mo Yunmei had already said she would see him at the yamen, but was the yamen a place for a commoner like her?

Besides, the Li family is in the wrong. If they go to the yamen, their decade-old grievances will be dug up again. How will the Li family face anyone then?

Old Mrs. Li was very pragmatic. She looked Mo Yunmei up and down with her cloudy eyes, and finally said reluctantly, "I don't know where Haisheng went. I'll go out and look for him."

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Not long after, two boys, around ten years old, ran into the Li family's courtyard. They had been chasing and playing back and hadn't paid any attention to what was ahead.

Back in the courtyard, seeing so many people watching them, they instantly stopped fooling around. After a moment of stunned silence, they dashed back into the house and slammed the door shut!

The rest of the Mo family looked at each other, wondering if this was Old Lady Li's grandson.

Grandma Mo saw it clearly too and said, "Those should be Li Haisheng's two sons. He also has an older son who is two or three months younger than Mo Yunmei, but they are not born to the same mother. The two we just saw were probably born a few years after Mo Yunmei's mother died."

oh!

There's a lot of information in that statement!

Su Nanxi clicked her tongue twice in her mind. This Li Haisheng is really amazing. He's so poor, yet he can get two women to have children for him!

They're both about the same age, yeah, you don't even need to think to know they're having an affair.

I just don't know where my stepmother is; she never comes out to greet the guests!

Mo Yunmei heard this clearly, and she was even more reluctant to go back to her home. Her mother was dead! She was a motherless child!

She has three younger brothers, and their weddings will cost a lot of money. Where will she get her dowry?

Mo Yunmei suddenly remembered something and anxiously asked Old Madam Mo, "Mother, you said you prepared a dowry for me before, is there really a dowry? Did my own mother prepare one for me?"

Grandma Mo looked at Mo Yunmei with a touch of emotion and sighed, "From now on, you don't need to call me 'Mother' anymore. Our mother-daughter relationship ends here. If you meet me again in the future, just call me Aunt Mo, just like everyone else! Your biological mother did prepare a dowry for you, and it's all kept with your biological father. You can ask him about it when the time comes."

Mo Yunmei, unusually kind-hearted, felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes upon hearing that she could no longer call her mother.
