Su Nanxi had a plan in mind and said to Luo Shi, "Since you're so sure, then come and give us the code. Only if you get it right can we give you the answer! Otherwise, what if your mother-in-law denies it and comes looking for us again? We did say there was a code!"

Not only was Luo confused, but the rest of the Mo family were also bewildered. When did they get the code? How come they had no memory of it?

Su Nanxi smiled inwardly. It's good that you don't remember; you never did!

When did the Mo family ever agree to help the Zhao family with something?

That's completely untrue!

If the Zhao family can make things up at will, why can't the Mo family?

When the other members of the Mo family saw Su Nanxi's smug smile, they suddenly understood what was going on.

But Luo couldn't understand it at all. Her mother-in-law had never mentioned any secret code, nor had she given any instructions before coming. She was simply told to go to the Mo family and that was all she had to do!

How would she know what code she'd need now?

What the Mo family said makes sense. She came to ask suddenly, but who knows if it was really her mother-in-law who said it? There's no evidence, and her mother-in-law isn't here. If her mother-in-law comes to ask again, wouldn't that mean she's asked twice?

The Mo family's worries were not unfounded. Sigh!

It's all her mother-in-law's fault. She didn't explain things clearly, making her have to make two trips!

We can't go back and find out the truth. Without the secret code, the Mo family will resolutely not honor their promise!

It's a waste of time to stay here. It's better to go back and ask around, then come back and resolve the matter as soon as possible!

She's also very annoyed. She just wants to get a money-making idea as soon as possible. Once she makes money, everything else will follow!

She no longer cared about that husband; he was so heartless and ungrateful to her, showing no tenderness or protection whatsoever!

If it weren't for wanting to get a money-making idea, she wouldn't bother dealing with the Zhao family. They're like fighting cocks, never stopping all day long, which is exhausting for them!

Liu was no pushover either; she had seen through her long ago that Liu just wanted to drive her away so she could take all the family's money for herself!

Bah! She even deliberately sowed discord between her and her child, making the child hate her. That woman is so vicious!

She was unwilling to accept this, she wanted to vent her anger, she didn't want Liu to succeed, she couldn't stand that vicious woman's despicable behavior, she had to make a scene!

Want to get rid of her? It's not that easy!

Anyway, she's all alone, and nobody's on her side. That's fine, she doesn't have to worry about anything. She's got nothing to lose, so she can just make a scene and see who falls first!

They still need to do business, and they hate arguments and disagreements the most. Who's afraid of who!

In the end, they were the ones who were defeated!

The mother-in-law said that the Mo family had agreed before, but it would take time, and they didn't know how long it would take, so they didn't tell her. Now they estimated that the time was about right, so they asked her to come to the Mo family to ask.

They said they'd give it to me as soon as I asked!

She came in a very happy mood!

It turned out that wasn't the case at all, so why would I need a secret code!

She was quite angry; her mother-in-law had actually kept a trick up her sleeve—she was keeping an eye on her!

Seeing that Luo seemed to have figured everything out on her own, Su Nanxi didn't say anything more. "If you don't remember, hurry back and ask her. Bringing your mother-in-law is the safest bet!"

Upon hearing this, Luo thought it made perfect sense and, without any suspicion, turned and left.

"Let's go back and let them make a scene!"

Su Nanxi turned around and went back inside. The sun was so strong, wouldn't it be more comfortable to go back inside?

Everyone went back, and no one took it to heart.

Because everyone understands that it's a matter for the Zhao family, and it's none of their business!

Just when they thought that Luo would be able to resolve the matter after returning home and would not come to the Mo family again, the door of the Mo family rang again.

It was already afternoon, and the Mo family was about to go out to work. They had all prepared their tools and were ready to go out with their bamboo water tubes.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the knocking. Who would come at this hour, and in such a hurry?

No one thought of the Zhao family, because it was already afternoon and the sun would soon set. If they were going to make a scene, they would wait until tomorrow. Nobody wanted to go back in the dark at night, right?

They guessed that someone in the village might be in a hurry, which was why they were knocking on the door, but they weren't really sure.

Villagers usually knock on the door to find the Mo family, rather than banging on it. After knocking, they would stop and call out a few times to listen. If no one came, they would knock again.

That's not the case now. The knocking on the door was so loud that everyone felt sorry for the door!

They kept taking pictures, determined to capture the person in the photos!

Su Nanxi immediately concluded that if they weren't from the village, they were most likely from the Zhao family, and it was possible that Luo had returned to the battlefield.

When I went outside, I saw that it was indeed true!

This time, it wasn't just Luo who came alone; she also brought Yang, Zhao's biological mother, along.

Seeing that the two were panting and sweating profusely, you could tell they had rushed over.

Su Nanxi didn't care. She glanced at the gate and said, "So you're prepared to pay for our gate?"

Mr. Luo exclaimed "Ah!" His mind hadn't quite caught up. What was this about the gate and all that? Why should he lose money?

Yang understood, but she pretended not to.

Su Nanxi wasn't going to give them a chance to pretend, so she said directly, "Our door isn't for banging on. You're banging on it so hard, are you trying to tear it down? Our door doesn't need to be torn down. If it's damaged, you'll have to pay for it! Damaging other people's property requires compensation. You've lived for decades, surely you understand this principle?"

Mrs. Luo understood, but simply said, "Well, we were too hasty. We didn't mean to!"

Su Nanxi said sternly, "Don't make excuses! If a simple 'it wasn't intentional' could resolve things, what would be the point of having so many laws?"

Knowing she was in the wrong and eager to resolve the matter and get what she wanted as soon as possible, Ms. Luo lowered her stance, saying, "We really didn't mean it. If there's any damage, we're willing to pay for it! We'll definitely be more careful next time! We'll knock gently!"

Su Nanxi didn't appreciate the gesture and said indifferently, "To be honest, the Mo family doesn't welcome you! Don't come to the Mo family unless it's absolutely necessary!"

Yang looked up abruptly. What was she saying? This was her daughter's home. Why shouldn't she come here if there's no reason to?

Does this ugly woman even know how to speak?!

She's related to the Mo family by marriage, how dare an ill-mannered girl speak to her like that!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Su Nanxi had been watching Yang Shi the whole time. When Yang Shi looked up at him, Su Nanxi smiled at her.

Yang couldn't understand the meaning behind that laugh, but she felt it was a provocation!

That ugly woman is doing it on purpose; she's so arrogant!

Luo held a different attitude from Yang, saying, "Fine! From now on, I will resolutely not come to the Mo family or knock on their door unless there is a reason!"

Mrs. Yang was furious!

Su Nanxi said quietly, "What, can't you remember the code? You've brought the person here directly!"

Ms. Luo said, "I don't want to make another trip!"
