Li Yueniang's words made Qin Xiangxiang's eyes almost bulge out.
Li Yueniang continued, "By the way, that villain said those words because he heard it from you. You know it's not safe for me to live outside, right?"
"Originally, as an older elder, I should live in the master bedroom, but I'm not the kind of old person who only thinks about myself and not about the younger generation."
"So I'll just have to make do and stay in Meifang's second bedroom."
"From now on, you and Su Yi should live a good life together. Don't worry, with me here, if he dares to bully you, I'll definitely beat him up for you!"
"Meifang is such a good girl. She keeps the room so clean and fragrant, and there are lots of beautiful paintings on the walls. Hehe, I love it."
Seeing Qin Xiangxiang standing there dumbfounded, Li Yueniang deliberately asked, "Xiangxiang, what's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?"
"Could it be that what you just said about treating me like family and elders and being filial to me was just a joke to fool everyone?"
"Could it be that what everyone's saying is true, that you deliberately lured those two thugs to my location just to kill me?"
Zhang Guofen immediately chimed in, "Hey, Sister Li, I said from the beginning that it might really be her!"
"I think the security company should investigate this thoroughly. We can't have a scourge hiding in our compound."
"Some people are malicious; they'll say anything to get away with something, and they even claim to treat you as an elder—that's just for appearances! Did you really believe them?"
Qin Xiangxiang had barely recovered from being stunned by the thunderbolt when she was put on hold again.
Seeing everyone looking at her with suspicion, she felt a pang of anxiety. "How...how could this be!"
"Sister Li, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"It's good to move in. Living in the compound is definitely much safer, hehe. Me, us, the three of us, we have company..."
Seeing Qin Xiangxiang's forced smile through gritted teeth, Li Yueniang was even more delighted.
"Alright, alright, people say that when you get old, you need companionship. I'll live with you from now on."
"Just you wait and see, Xiangxiang is definitely not the kind of person you're talking about. From now on, I'll enjoy my old age in this compound and wait for Xiangxiang to be filial."
"Everyone, go home, go home. Go to work if you need to, or cook for your kids if you need to."
"Come on, Xiangxiang, let's go back together. You have to go to work soon too."
"I haven't had breakfast yet. Today I want to eat fried eggs and noodles."
"I was up all night last night, I'm starving. I need to get some sleep after I eat to recharge..."
Qin Xiangxiang was pulled along by Li Yueniang's arm and walked forward, looking utterly dejected as if she had seen a ghost.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Qin Xiangxiang abruptly pushed Li Yueniang away.
"Li Yueniang, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Li Yueniang said sarcastically, "What do you mean, what do I want to do? I'm scared! It's not safe for an old woman like me to live alone outside."
"He also has a large sum of money, taking more than eighty yuan from you every month. Last time he took more than five hundred yuan in one go. He has several thousand yuan in his hands, which is more than he can spend. I'm afraid that a lousy place like Liuhuai Lane will attract thieves."
"By the way, these words sound like they were said by you!"
Qin Xiangxiang looked disgusted. "I've already explained. I was just complaining a few times unintentionally. I didn't mean any harm."
Li Yueniang nodded, her face full of sincerity. "I know, I know Xiangxiang, you're a good person."
“I understand your feelings for me. I know you care about me, treat me well, and are filial to me like an elder or a family member. I will not believe what those two bad people said.”
"That's why I moved in with you guys. Since you've been so good to me, you must be worried that I might get hurt or suffer any more accidents, right?"
"Besides, I'm scared too. Look, you almost killed this old woman by unintentionally complaining to someone. If you deliberately complain, how am I supposed to survive?"
Qin Xiangxiang was so angry that her face contorted, and she instinctively reached out to cover her chest with her right hand.
She really had a heart problem; she felt heavy, suffocated, and couldn't breathe.
Li Yueniang smiled brightly, "Now the security company suspects you. I advise you to be obedient to me, or you'll be in trouble."
"Do you really think you've covered your tracks perfectly? Don't risk losing your job and dragging your son and daughter down with you."
After saying that, Li Yueniang walked home with her hands behind her back, head held high and chest out.
Qin Xiangxiang felt even more anxious when she saw Li Yueniang's smug look.
Could this old woman really have some evidence?
She lowered her head, pondering her actions. No, no, she had left no evidence.
No matter how much investigation is conducted, she only accidentally complained a couple of times in a public place, and then was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
Even if we take this matter seriously, at most she would only receive criticism and education for inappropriate words and actions; how could it possibly involve Chang'an and Meifang?
Seeing Li Yueniang's confident demeanor, she didn't dare to go too far and could only endure it for the time being.
Women are born with the talent to be wicked mothers-in-law, and the next few days were the most satisfying days Li Yueniang had lived in all her years.
Qin Xiangxiang, on the other hand, finally understood what it meant to be in dire straits.
Li Yueniang doesn't have to go to work, so she likes to sleep in the mornings and afternoons when she has nothing to do, but she can't sleep at night.
In the middle of the night, he would either chat with Su Yi or Qin Xiangxiang.
They would either squeeze into their room, saying they wanted more excitement and were afraid to be alone, or they would drag Qin Xiangxiang out of bed in the middle of the night, saying they were hungry and wanted her to make them noodles.
Qin Xiangxiang couldn't take it anymore and broke down, saying, "Li Yueniang, don't go too far! I have to go to work during the day. If you're hungry, don't you know how to cook for yourself? You're giving me the cold shoulder and you really think you're my mother-in-law."
