"Mom, ask yourself honestly, have I ever neglected you? You said you weren't getting enough to eat and didn't have any meat, who brought you food? It's not the first time I've brought you food, and every time I bring a very generous amount! It's definitely not enough for you by yourself! But if you're feeding the whole family, it's definitely not enough! No matter how much, it's not enough!"

"Mother! You have to think about my situation. Do you know how hard it is for me? They're so wary of me now. I've tried so many ways to smuggle things out, I'm practically going bald from all the thinking! I'm your daughter, that's true, and I certainly wouldn't hide anything from you if I could, but I can't support your whole family! Don't you know how many people are in your family? Once I'm found out, you won't get a single thing from me anymore!"

"You brat! I'm your mother, you should be filial to your brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. They've all had a hard life, shouldn't we help them? You're such an ingrate! We raised you all these years, and now that you're living a good life, you look down on us, your own family! What's wrong with eating some of your food? You're so stingy!"

"We're your family. If we're not good to you, where will you go to rely on us? The Zhou family is all making money now; they must have plenty of good stuff. Don't try to tell me there isn't any! I don't believe a word of it! This is all you've got this time. Who are you trying to fool? It's not even enough for one meal!"

“If I were an ungrateful wretch, I wouldn’t have come to see you at all, let alone brought you anything! It’s not that I don’t want to give you anything, it’s just that they’ve been watching me too closely lately, and it’s hard for me to do it! After a while, when they’ve relaxed their guard against me, it’ll be the same if I bring you things! Mother, why can’t you wait a little longer!”

"Wait for what? What will our family of over ten eat in a while? In this sweltering heat, we won't even have a breeze to drink! Are you trying to starve us to death? How cruel of you! They're so wary of you, why don't you go after your husband? Say some nice things, be a little coquettish, show him more affection, and make him lower his guard! You can accomplish something with just a few words in your ear, can't you use your brain for once!"

"Things aren't as simple as you think! Anyway, don't worry about it too much. I know what to do. I won't abandon you. Don't come looking for me for now! I'll come looking for you when I've saved up enough! Just sort things out yourselves for now!"

"How are we going to solve this? I've already told you, this year's harvest is low, and there are too many people. They're always asking for food, and everything edible has already been eaten! Otherwise, why would I be here looking for you? I'm just bored, letting you vent your frustrations on me! Let me tell you, it'll be in two days at most! I'll be back in two days! You'd better try to talk to him, hey? You're not still hung up on that guy, are you?"

"No! Mother, don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I won't bring you anything again next time, not even if you ask me!"

"Fine, fine! I've hit a nerve. Why are you yelling so loudly? You're not deaf! I know, I won't say anything!"

...

Su Nanxi and Xiao Wu hid to the side and listened to the whole thing until those people were far away before they came out from the corner.

"Fine, you traitor!" Su Nanxi clicked her tongue and said contemptuously.

Xiao Wu recognized who it was and asked, "Su Su, should we tell them?"

Su Nanxi nodded, "Of course! The Zhou family works hard to earn more money, they don't pick and choose any job, they'll do anything as long as there's money! Haha! There's no reason to let those ungrateful people squander it all! Look at the situation now, in a while, even if you have money, it will be hard to buy rice and other necessities! We can't let them raise parasites!"

Xiao Wu also thought so. The Zhou family had finally gotten rid of those oddballs, but unexpectedly, there was an internal traitor. That was no small matter!

Judging from their words, it's clear that He Shi secretly brought the things that the Zhou family had hoarded to her own family, and the Zhou family probably doesn't even know it yet!

Look how big those people have become! It's one thing to support one old mother, but they actually have to support a whole family of more than ten people!

Haha! The Zhou family isn't stupid. They have no obligation to support so many people. They only married one daughter-in-law; they didn't marry the entire He family!

Human desires are insatiable; they only want more and more. Since they don't have to work hard and can get things easily, what a great thing! Xiao Wu would be very willing to do it!

He can go ask every day; he'll get something every time he goes!

I'm so excited just thinking about it!

He also understood why He's family didn't want her to reduce her possessions!

That's how people are. If you give them little at first and then more later, they'll feel happy. But if it's the other way around, they'll feel uncomfortable and angry!

"Let's go! The more you want, the less satisfied you become, and in the end you may end up with nothing!" Su Nanxi said calmly.

Xiao Wu strongly agrees: "Greed leads to greed, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; it never ends well!"

When Zhou Yuzhu saw Su Nanxi coming to see her again, she was initially happy, but she keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Su Nanxi's complexion wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either. She wasn't emotionally affected; she was just there to let them know.

She originally planned to come over after she finished her work, but she had a lot to do and was afraid she would forget. If she only remembered a few days later, it would be a bit of a hassle.

Let's just do this first, and then do the rest!

She was lost in thought the whole way, so her expression didn't fluctuate much.

Zhou Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat. She had a premonition that Su Nanxi had come to see her today because he had something bad to tell her!

She stopped smiling and asked cautiously, "Third cousin-in-law, did you come to see me this time because you have something very important to discuss?"

Su Nanxi nodded, "Yes! It is indeed quite important! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you first. However, after I tell you, you have to keep your emotions in check and don't lose your temper!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuzhu became even more nervous and scared, even thinking of hundreds of possibilities in her mind!

All I can think about is that something must have happened to my family!

The more I think about it, the more panicked I get!

Su Nanxi understood what she was thinking. "Your family is fine, it's nothing. It's not about that, think about that!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuzhu felt a little relieved. As long as it wasn't a family member who was in trouble, everything was negotiable. At least someone was alive, and there was still a way to resolve the situation!

Su Nanxi stopped being cryptic and went straight to the point, summarizing what she had heard. Anyone with a brain could understand it.

After hearing this, Zhou Yuzhu almost exploded, not just lost her temper!

Yes, the furious one has arrived too!

Su Nanxi grabbed her shoulder and said, "This is a workshop, you can't make a lot of noise! ​​Don't lose your job for someone who's not worth it! It's not too late to realize this now, you still have time to think about what to do!"

Zhou Yuzhu was surprised by Su Nanxi's strength, which made her too scared to move, and she instantly became much more awake.

"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
