Zhou Yuzhu was furious, feeling that she had been deceived. Every time she came, she brought this person with her, which gave her unwarranted hope!

Turning her head, Zhou Yuzhu saw Wang Shi. She didn't tell her mother that her mother had been completely fooled and had lost her way.

Seeing the Mo family's children playing by the chicken coop, she went over as well. When she saw the fluffy white rabbits, her heart melted instantly, and she liked them so much that she reached out and touched them.

She hadn't noticed that the Mo family kept rabbits; they were so cute.

Mo Qiushuang told her that it had just been caught.

Zhou Yuzhu exclaimed "Wow!" and suddenly remembered that they had all come back carrying baskets on their backs, so the contents must have been packed in those baskets.

Wang was clearly also attracted by the sight of the rabbits and pheasants, and wondered if she would stew rabbit meat for lunch.

They hadn't eaten much that morning, just waiting to have a good meal at the Mo family's house before going home. Anyway, the Mo family cooks for people, so there would definitely be plenty of good food!

When Grandma Mo returned and saw that Madam Wang had arrived, she originally planned to cook a nice meal, but after Mo Qinghe came to find her and she returned, she changed her mind.

Grandma Mo went into the kitchen and said to Madam Qin and Madam Zhao, "No need to prepare meat for lunch, just stir-fry two green vegetables!"

Qin and Zhao were stunned, wondering if they had misheard. "Mother, is it enough to just stir-fry two vegetables?"

Grandma Mo said angrily, "That's right! Our family is very poor and can't afford meat, so we'll just eat vegetables!"

After saying that, he stormed out.

Only the Qin and Zhao families were left looking at each other, completely puzzled.

My mother-in-law must have been upset by something. It seems that my brother-in-law did something to anger her and make her dislike her so much!

Tsk!

To be honest, the two of them don't really like their aunt either. Lately, they've been coming empty-handed every time they visit, eating their fill before leaving. Sometimes they even take something with them. It's hard to say anything about it, since they're relatives and it's reasonable for them to have a meal together.

But for some reason, this aunt has been bringing outsiders over lately, including an unmarried girl. What's going on here?

The Mo family doesn't have any eligible unmarried men, so it's inappropriate for an unmarried girl to keep coming here!

As expected, the two did not prepare a grand meal; they simply stir-fried two large bowls of vegetables and then began to eat.

When Wang saw the vegetables, she was dumbfounded. Where was the meat? The stewed meat she had been longing for was nowhere to be found!

Zhou Yuzhu was relieved. When you're a guest, you should go with the flow. When you're at someone else's house, you should eat whatever they have!

Qiu Huiling, however, thought of other things. Could it be that Young Master Mo's legs were really seriously injured? Would he need a lot of money to treat them, so he couldn't eat meat every meal?

She felt she had finally seen the truth, and her worry for Mo Qinghe grew even stronger. She didn't care what she ate anymore; she just wanted to see Mo Qinghe again and confirm it.

Unfortunately, neither Su Nanxi nor Mo Qinghe came out to eat.

Grandma Mo acted as if she didn't notice Wang's displeasure, and invited them over to eat, even urging them to eat more.

Wang was really unhappy. There were so many chickens, ducks, and rabbits, yet she couldn't bear to kill one to entertain them!

Finally, she asked, "Yuqing, don't you cook for people anymore?"

Grandma Mo ate her food leisurely, "Hmm, it's finished, no need to do any more."

Wang slowly chewed her greens, then exclaimed "Oh!" "Why didn't you cook it longer?"

Suddenly I realized that Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe hadn't come to eat. Oh! And Mo Yunmei too. I asked her again.

Grandma Mo didn't even look up, her tone indifferent, "Qinghe isn't feeling well, and the mute woman is taking care of him. He'll come out later. As for Li Yunmei, you know the situation; she's already gone back to her home."

Wang suddenly realized, "Oh! I remember it was in the last few days, but I don't remember the exact time! Is the Li family willing to acknowledge her back? Judging from her father's expression, they definitely won't."

Wang did know about what happened back then, since Li Yunmei's mother was from the Zhou family, although their relationship wasn't very close.

Grandma Mo was unwilling to bring it up again, only vaguely saying, "Whether he wants it or not is not up to him!"

Wang didn't think much of it; it wasn't her business anyway, so she just asked one more question.

Zhou Yuzhu was overthinking it. What was all this about?

Isn't that cousin a member of the Mo family? How did she become Li Yunmei?

Seeing her astonishment, Old Mrs. Mo explained, "Li Yunmei is indeed your cousin, but she doesn't have the surname Mo. She is the daughter of your aunt's younger cousin. She was raised in the Mo family before, but now that she's grown up and ready to get married, she naturally has to return to her own home."

Zhou Yuzhu said "Oh," and then added, "I understand. My aunt is truly kind; she raised her for so many years!"

Grandma Mo just smiled and didn't reply.

Wang touched her daughter, glared at her, and warned her not to talk nonsense.

Zhou Yuzhu didn't know why her mother was warning her, but she was sensible and didn't ask any more questions, just kept her head down and ate.

Qiu Huiling didn't really want to visit Li Yunmei, so she didn't react much when she heard about Li Yunmei's situation.

After the meal, Old Mrs. Mo did not keep the three women, Wang and her companions, and sent them home.

Before leaving, Old Madam Mo pulled Wang aside and said in a somewhat cold tone, "From now on, you and Yuzhu can come as you please, but don't bring any outsiders! What's the meaning of you always bringing an unmarried girl to our Mo family? It's just stirring up trouble for our Mo family! If you bring any outsiders next time, they can go back to where they came from!"

Wang finally understood why she wasn't being treated well this time, and realized that she shouldn't have brought outsiders over so often. But she also felt that Old Madam Mo had embarrassed her, so she lowered her eyes and said somewhat reluctantly, "I understand."

Grandma Mo didn't say anything more and let them go back.

She didn't want her happy home to be ruined by malicious people. She was quite satisfied with how things were now and didn't want anything to change.

Qiu Huiling didn't notice anything amiss, nor did she pay any attention to Wang Shi's expression. Even if she had, she would have assumed that Wang Shi was angry with Old Madam Mo.

She was preoccupied with Mo Qinghe's affairs, torn between whether or not to take a gamble.

She hesitated again. Mo Qinghe's leg was injured again. Had it relapsed? Would it relapse again in the future? If it did, wouldn't she be marrying a cripple?

I heard that her legs are crippled and she can't have sex. Won't she be a widow in the end?

But what if it doesn't recur and she recovers completely? Then she'll have married into a good family!

Old Mrs. Mo is kind-hearted and not a gossipy or malicious person. The Qin and Zhao families are also easy to get along with. This is a family that so many people would like to marry into!

After agonizing for a long time, when she got home, Qiu Huiling still couldn't let go of the thoughts she shouldn't have.

As Zhou Yuzhu watched her mother and Qiu Huiling's actions all the way back, she became increasingly certain of her guess.

After returning home, he asked Wang, "Mother, did Aunt tell you not to bring outsiders?"

Wang was stunned. "How did you know? You eavesdropped? You brat, you don't learn anything good, but you learn to eavesdrop! You're really something!"

Zhou Yuzhu was speechless. "I didn't! I was just guessing!"

Wang did not believe it.

"Don't you know someone has a crush on Third Cousin?"
