Sun Yun stood there, watching his daughter leave without hesitation. Her figure receded further and further away from him. She was still the same daughter, so how could she have changed so much?
Xueyi is very well-behaved and has never caused him any trouble since she was a child. He feels that this daughter is really well-behaved, but she doesn't like to talk.
He wasn't being biased; he just felt that Xueyi had been sensible for so long and should be more sensible now, so why did things have to turn out like this?
But at this moment, he could only watch helplessly as his daughter left.
He always felt that once his daughter left, she might never want him as her father again.
"Xueyi..."
He finally cried out, not knowing why or what to do afterward. He just felt that if he didn't, he would really lose his daughter.
Xueyi heard it, but she didn't stop and went inside as if she hadn't heard it.
Xueyi returned to her grandmother's room and saw her playing chess with her younger brother the day before.
"Xueyi is back. Go and go with your brother. I'm getting old and need to go out for a walk."
Would you like to stay with your grandmother tonight?
Mo Yan's voice was very gentle, and her gaze was full of deep affection.
"That's wonderful! My granddaughter would love to live with her grandmother."
Xueyi meant it sincerely; only her grandmother and younger brother made her feel like she had family.
Her grandmother and younger brother's smiles were incredibly warm to her; in contrast, her parents' smiles seemed forced and strained.
"Grandma is very happy to hear you say that. You all play, I'm going out for a walk to see if anyone wants to do something under the cover of darkness."
The two were a little confused, but then they understood: their grandmother was afraid that Sun Xueyao would steal the food.
With Grandmother gone, they stopped joining in the fun. Sun Jin sighed as she played chess. "Second sister, why is Sun Xueyao just like eldest sister? She's fixated on one man and can't seem to get over him."
"You can't compare them. At least the older sister didn't take advantage of you. She just liked you and didn't want to believe she'd been deceived. She didn't hurt anyone from beginning to end."
There is a fundamental difference between them. Sun Xueyao completely disregards her family and her older sister who grew up with her. She is extremely selfish.
If she had any conscience at all, she wouldn't have done such a thing!
Sun Jin could only laugh. Not now, but in the future… he suddenly felt uncertain. After all, a woman in love was terrifying. “Sister, don’t fall in love with a man in the future. I’m afraid you’ll lose your rationality.”
Sun Xueyi laughed upon hearing this and continued playing the game. After placing a black piece, she spoke, "I want to be the one holding the pieces, and I will never be someone else's piece. If I unknowingly become one, then we will both perish."
Sun Jin also placed a piece, saying, "Sister, I'm still here. We'll weather the storm together. Let's pull our eldest sister back together. And second sister, you have to keep an eye on me too, so I don't get fooled."
Xueyi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Jin'er's serious expression. "You, you definitely won't."
"Second sister, I don't know if I will do it in the future, but if I do anything irrational in the future, second sister must remind me."
Hopefully, the older sisters will think things through tonight.
"Of course, I will definitely remind you!"
"I hope that this time, our eldest sister won't let us down."
This time, she didn't answer; she genuinely didn't know the answer.
At night, the chirping of insects continues, and a gentle breeze brings a cool feeling, making one feel drowsy as well.
Sun Yun and Lan Cao were carrying food, intending to sneak it inside for their daughter.
They dared not use the main entrance, so they used the windows instead.
The two knocked on the window cautiously. Sun Xueyao immediately heard the sound and ran over. The moment she opened the window and saw her parents, tears streamed down her face.
"Father, Mother, I'm hungry."
Hearing their beloved daughter say this, they felt heartbroken and quickly fed her.
Mo Yan appeared at that moment.
"Wasn't it a hunger strike? Didn't you say you were going to fast for three days?"
The three of them turned around and were so frightened that they dropped all their food on the ground.
"Mother, Xueyao is still a child, she..."
"Mother, I've wanted to say this for a long time. Now that everything has settled down, why are you still treating Xueyao like this?"
Mo Yan smiled when she saw the reproachful look on her face. "So, it was my fault?"
"Daughter-in-law wouldn't dare..." She really didn't dare.
“Then go back. Even if I leave tomorrow, she’ll starve me until the day after tomorrow. The people I leave behind will keep an eye on her.”
Since you've said you're going on a hunger strike, don't regret it. Otherwise, you can all join me.
The two: "..."
They looked at their daughter with heartache, thinking of how they themselves looked when they didn't eat, and had no choice but to give in.
“Sun Yun, you have to figure out how to farm this year yourself. You’re not allowed to ask anyone for help. I’ll tell them that if they help you, the rent will go up this year.”
Sun Yun's eyes widened!
The reason Sun Yun was so relaxed before was because he used his younger brother's tools, and even the tenants would help him.
Now, with his mother giving the order, he has to do it himself?
“Mother, weren’t you talking about new seeds?”
"That's all," Mo Yan said.
Why?
Sun Yun was confused. Why?
"Because I'm in a bad mood, I want to punish you."
Sun Yun: "..."
That night, I didn't eat anything and was extremely hungry.
Similarly, there's Sun Yue.
She was put in solitary confinement, with guards outside, and couldn't get out at all. She couldn't even go to find Cailian.
Why is the night so long?
Dawn finally broke.
Mo Yan got up and took her grandchildren to the fields to take a look, and then to see their old house.
Sun Yun had always taken care of the old house, and when they went there, they found that there were actually people inside.
Mo Yan's face darkened, and she felt terrible looking at those strangers.
"Xueyi, do you know who these people are?"
Mo Yan realized that these people were all skilled martial artists. Even if they tried their best to act like villagers, it was useless. Some things cannot be hidden, such as the smell of blood and the killing intent.
“Grandma, I don’t know. I’ve been in a bad mood lately and haven’t come over.”
Mo Yan walked over and looked at them, and those people also looked at Mo Yan warily.
Who are you?
One of them smiled and ran over to speak to Mo Yan, his gaze inadvertently falling on Mo Yan's bracelet. Even though it was only for a moment, Mo Yan caught it.
“We are the Third Miss’s friends, and she asked us to stay here.”
The Third Miss's friend... Mo Yan frowned. There was no such friend in the original owner's memories. Was it unimportant, or...?
"Someone, bring the master and the third young lady here."
At the same time, Mo Yan looked at them and said, "I'm sorry, this is my family's ancestral home. It may not be suitable for you to stay here. Why don't you go to their current house?"
