One person and one machine stealthily climbed up an old white pine tree that was still lush and green even in winter, right opposite the Yu family's house.
"Master, the enemy has come upstairs."
"You're pretty fast. Let's hide quickly. Hey, don't stretch your legs out. Your robe isn't long enough, and the iron lump is showing."
"But if I don't stretch out, I can't reach the top of the tree. I'll have to go down and then pull back up."
"Then hide well, don't let anyone see you, or I'll drag you to sharpen your knife."
"I know, Master. These leaves are a bit prickly, so please cover your face up."
As they were talking, Peng Fengzhu had already arrived at Yu Hui's door. She knocked on the door, but no one answered.
If she made a sound, Yu Hui wouldn't open the door; she knew her place.
"Who is it?" asked Yu Hui.
No one answered.
The door remained closed.
She knocked again and went behind the door. "Who is it?"
Still, no one answered.
Yu Hui sneered, "My dad has the key. I won't open the door unless you speak, no matter who you are."
She learned her lesson and trusted no one but her father.
Left with no other choice, Peng Fengzhu could only speak up, "Xiaohui, it's Mom. I've come to see you. Please open the door."
The tone was very kind, but this time there was no response from inside.
Yu Hui is making glutinous rice strips, which is her father's favorite snack.
She rolled the dough into sheets with a clattering sound, then cut them into strips, sifted out the flour, and prepared to cook them. The outside world was irrelevant to her.
However, I'll talk to Dad about why the security guard at the residential compound lets just anyone in. He should make it clear to the security department that Peng will never be allowed to set foot in the compound again.
In this lifetime, she and her father will have no further connection with anyone surnamed Peng.
Peng Fengzhu knocked on the door and called out, but instead of getting the Yu family's door open, she got the door next door to open.
"Aren't you annoying? Knocking and shouting, it hurts my ears. Get out of here, you're not welcome."
The old lady didn't even step out of the door, just poked her head out.
It's so cold.
"Oh, you've brought a helper along. I've seen this ingrate before; he came to the family compound a few years ago."
A head popped out from next door to the old lady, "Who is it? I don't recognize them?"
“Her brother’s son, a heartless ingrate who used to always steal things from Xiaohui.”
"Huh? Are they going to rob us again today?"
"Who knows? Just by looking at their sleazy manner, you can tell they've been raised to be bad. There's not a single good person in the Peng family."
"Sigh, with Peng Fengzhu's looks, what good could her family be? I heard that after Peng Fengzhu divorced from the Yu family, she was sold twice by her own mother. She's still closer to her own family. She deserves it."
Then another head popped up from the house next door, and it knew a little more than the two older women in front.
“You’re wrong about that. It wasn’t that you sold it twice; it was that you made two windfalls.”
"Wherever she goes, that family gets a huge piece of meat cut off, enough for her family to live a life of luxury."
"She's quite happy about it; otherwise, how could she be more prosperous than us city people who eat city food?"
"Oh, I see. I'm so sorry, I even felt sorry for her for a couple of seconds."
Peng Fengzhu glared fiercely at the three old women who were chatting without any restraint.
"I came to see my daughter, what's it to you? You're all so idle, what have you been up to?"
The three older women weren't angry.
"Your mouth really does eat shit; we can't compare to you, and we don't want to."
"Yes, we only eat grains. Oh, is Xiaohui, who also eats grains, making glutinous rice strips again? I can smell the aroma."
"Definitely. Xiao Hui is a filial child. She knows that Engineer Yu likes to eat glutinous rice strips, so she makes them every few days."
"Engineer Yu is so lucky to have such a filial child. Some people are not so lucky; once they leave their comfortable home, they can only be sold off."
"They're willing to go."
Haha~~~
"You, you all..." Peng Fengzhu wanted to rush over and start a fight, but was stopped by her nephew Peng Feng.
"Aunt, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Ignore them, the important matter is more important."
Once you've slept with him, everything in the Yu family will be his. Why would you need to steal it?
Peng Fengzhu snapped out of her daze, cleared her throat, and said, "Hmph, I'm a civilized person, I won't bother with you gossipy shrewish women."
Having established a good reputation for themselves, they started knocking on doors again.
"Xiaohui, open the door quickly, Mom has something to tell you, it'll only be a moment, it won't delay you from making glutinous rice strips."
Yu Hui took the fried glutinous rice strips out of the pot to dry the oil. When she heard the door being banged on, she got annoyed and picked up the cold water on the table, opened the door and splashed it out.
Splash!
Shishi clenched her fist excitedly, "Splash some more, splash some more quickly! One bowl of water is not enough, we should splash a whole basin of water."
Guagua stifled a laugh, “Master, if you really splash a basin of water on her, Peng Fengzhu will catch a cold before she even leaves the family compound. If you don’t clean the water off her face, it will freeze and she’ll freeze to death.”
Shishi snorted, "She deserves it. Who told her to bully people? If it were me, I wouldn't even want a basin of water; I would have poured a whole bucket."
"No, we should take a strong water hose and pour it over her from head to toe until she's frozen into an ice sculpture."
Guagua brushed the snow off her head.
“In that case, she would have a reason to cling to the Yu family. That’s not good. I think a kind person should come along and throw her into the sea to feed the fish. That way, she won’t have a chance to cling to the Yu family.”
Shishi: "That's a good idea. Let's be good people and good opportunities later."
"OK."
One person and one machine swiftly sentenced Peng Fengzhu to death.
The icy water made Peng Fengzhu shiver.
"You, you unfilial daughter! I am your mother! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for treating me like this?"
Yu Hui chuckled, "Don't worry, if God really wants to strike, it will strike someone like you who is heartless and ungrateful. Get out of here, or I'll call security."
