"Impossible." The old lady's first reaction was that it was impossible. "Our tofu is made with the finest ingredients, how could there be a problem? And how could I possibly raise the price for you? Didn't I say I'd settle the bill when I got back?"
"No way, you brought your daughter-in-law here last time, don't you remember? Your daughter-in-law came to pay the bill afterward. It was okay for the first few months, but the tofu from those two shops just doesn't taste good anymore. We don't want your tofu anymore."
If it weren't for the future tofu or something, they really wouldn't want it.
"My daughter-in-law?" The old lady's face darkened, and she slapped her thigh. "I never let her come! I said only my own coming counts, and I always have my nephew deliver the goods."
"I don't know about that. You can go back and ask yourself. I have the bill here, you can take a look."
The boss brought over the bill, which amounted to 1,000 yuan over six months, not including the amount from the last two months.
The old lady was furious as she walked out. "I'm going back to beat her to death."
"No need." Mo Yan glanced at the lists and left.
"Where are you going? Why aren't you using it? Tell me yourself, are you just going to let that woman have all that money?" This is what they mean by "When the tiger is away, the monkey reigns supreme."
If anyone dares to touch her money, she'll fight them to the death.
"No. I'm going to call the police for this much money."
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow. Did they think her money was so easy to take?
The old woman's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "Let's go, let's call the police!"
The old lady and Mo Yan immediately took the bills and went to call the police, along with the contract Mo Yan had arranged—a contract drafted by a lawyer she had hired. The old lady had previously thought Mo Yan was wasteful; now, she only felt that Mo Yan was incredibly clever.
After seeing this, the police planned to investigate as soon as it was light.
The old lady was furious and couldn't wait any longer, so she took Mo Yan and went straight back, along with the two children.
When they got home, good heavens, all the tofu-making tools were gone! They'd all been taken over there. As for the two girls, they weren't there either.
Mo Yan frowned, suddenly feeling something was wrong. She quickly took the old lady to her father-in-law's place, but when they went inside, only the old man was home.
"Old man, where is the eldest son's wife?"
The old man was so hungry that he was just skin and bones. It was clear that he hadn't had a good life in the past six months, and he spoke weakly and listlessly.
“I’ve gone back to my parents’ home, old woman. I regret it so much… I regret not listening to you. Now the land has been sold, and my son has run back to his parents’ home with his wife.”
The old lady didn't have time to listen to his regrets; he deserved it all himself. She took Mo Yan to her old friend's place.
"You're finally back! Hurry up and go to Nanshan. Your two granddaughters have been sold by your daughter-in-law to a family there. They were just delivered today. Go quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady's face darkened even more. "She's a real scoundrel. Is Nanshan a place you can go? Mo Yan, come with me to rescue the two girls. Xiao Bao and San Ya, you stay here with your aunt. I'll go get help. I'm going to fight them to the death."
Nanshan is deep in the mountains, and the people there are extremely poor. They can't afford to marry, so they have to buy wives, and it's often... several men for one wife. Going there is pure suffering, like entering a hellhole. No matter how much she dislikes her three granddaughters, she would never do such a thing.
But this eldest daughter-in-law, even her own daughter is trying to push them into a fire pit, she's not human at all!
