The old woman's eyes widened, and she clutched her chest. "Are you trying to drive me crazy? How could you not take care of me?"
"Why not? You've broken my heart, of course I can stop supporting you."
Either you behave and listen to me, and from now on, you can go play cards if you want, cook if you want, or not if you don't. Just live a happy life.
"What if you don't want to? I won't take care of you anymore. You can let your precious grandson support you. Fine, let's see what kind of life you two can manage. But if you choose this path, none of us will give you any retirement money."
The old lady looked into Mo Yan's eyes and knew that her daughter was serious.
I'm so angry! How could that brat do that?
Are they just going to ignore her? And won't even let her sisters give her money?
How can she earn money with her old arms and legs?
"You don't need to go to our sisters' houses and make a scene. We'll just close the gates if you go. And we're not worried that you'll go somewhere else. Go ahead and do as you please, it doesn't matter."
If you still want to go find your nephews, that's fine too. At worst, when they arrive, I'll say that whoever causes trouble here will be taken away and they'll have to support you. See if they're willing to do that.”
Needless to say, they definitely wouldn't agree.
The old lady finally understood; this daughter had truly planned everything out perfectly for her.
"So what exactly do you want?"
The old lady's tone softened, and it was clear that she was about to compromise.
"Nothing much. I'm just going to teach your grandson how to behave. Now go back to sleep. I'll be in the kitchen tonight, so don't even think about sneaking in."
At this point, the old lady had no choice but to go back. When she reached her grandson's room, she told him with great regret.
"Lotte, your mom is too amazing. There's nothing I can do. Good luck to you. Keep it up!"
Dong Letian: "..."
Dong Letian was hoping that his grandmother would bring him some food, but to his surprise, she brought nothing.
He's so hungry right now, his stomach is practically sticking to his back.
How cruel it is to be hungry but have nothing to eat.
After enduring it for a long time, Dong Letian couldn't take it anymore and could only sneak into the kitchen by himself.
Mo Yan turned off the kerosene lamp again, and the kitchen was still pitch black.
Dong Letian sneaked in, and the first thing he did was check if there was anything to eat in the pot. He touched it but found nothing. Just then...
He was kicked.
"Ah, a ghost!"
Dong Letian let out a series of ghostly howls.
Mo Yan grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out, closing the kitchen door behind them and kicking him a few times.
"Tell me, what are you doing sneaking into the kitchen? Didn't you say you weren't hungry?"
Dong Letian: "..."
Dong Letian felt a chill run down his spine. How did he get caught again?
"Mom, don't you ever sleep?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I be waiting for you here?"
Dong Letian: "..."
"Do you know why I didn't cripple you? It's because I need to wake you up tomorrow morning to go with me to earn money. Otherwise, you'll never be able to stand up again."
They didn't cripple him so he could work.
Dong Letian: "..." For some reason, at this moment he was very convinced that his mother was serious.
"Mom, I'm your own son, can't you treat me better?"
Is it really that hard to be nice to him?
"If I had really treated you badly, do you think you'd still be standing here? Okay? You definitely don't want to know what it's like to be truly abandoned by me, do you want to know?"
When Mo Yan said this, she had a smile on her lips and her voice was gentle, but it made Dong Letian extremely afraid. He didn't really want to know.
"No... I don't want to know," Dong Letian obediently replied.
"Okay, go back to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Mo Yan clapped her hands, took out her key, locked the kitchen door, and asked why she didn't do it this way in the first place. Of course, it was to play with them.
Mo Yan returned to her room and went to sleep.
At 4:30 a.m., Mo Yan got up and woke the three of them up.
Let alone Dong Letian, even Dong Lele couldn't get out of bed. They all stayed in bed and wouldn't get up.
"I'll count to three, and if you don't get up, I'll pour a bucket of cold water on you."
Upon hearing this, they instantly sobered up.
As for Dong Letian, he was kicked up by Mo Yan. "It's okay if you're not wearing clothes. I can let you come with me naked."
Dong Letian: "..."
Dong Letian struggled to get up, and by the time they finished getting ready, it was already five o'clock.
Dong Letian looked at the pitch-black sky outside. "Then what are we doing getting up so early? It's still dark outside. What's the point?"
"Going at this hour? I think it's too late. If everyone dawdles like you guys, we'll probably only be able to pick up other people's bamboo shoot husks, you know?"
Those who are truly diligent will find that by the time they reach the foot of the mountain, others have already harvested bamboo shoots and returned. Harvesting bamboo shoots requires arriving early and having sharp eyes to find the best and fattest bamboo shoots. After bringing them back, they still need to be boiled before they can be sold.
You can choose not to cook it, but the price won't be as high as if it were cooked.
"Really? Who would go out to gather bamboo shoots in the middle of the night? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
