Zhou Qionghua understood that her elder sister wanted to help them and leave all the money to them. Not wanting to refuse her sister's offer, she asked Chen Datong to bring the money over and put it away in the house.
"That's right!" Grandma Mo finally didn't have to dodge anymore.
When Mo Yunmei saw Chen Datong give her money, she was overjoyed and wanted to go up to her mother and take all the money. Why shouldn't she take it? It's money! They don't want it, give it to them!
Su Nanxi knew perfectly well what Mo Yunmei was thinking; it was practically written all over her face. She must be desperate to raise enough money for her dowry!
Mo Yunmei's wish was not fulfilled. She herself did not know what happened. It seemed as if someone bumped into her, and suddenly she could not move or speak. She could only watch helplessly as Zhou Qionghua took the money away.
By the time she was able to move, everyone had left.
Su Nanxi lowered his eyes, concealing his achievements and fame.
Since the Chen family had never eaten these wild animals before, they didn't know how to prepare them. In the end, it was Grandma Mo and Su Nanxi who took the initiative and made a delicious lunch.
The pot was bubbling and steaming, and the aroma wafted far and wide, whetting the appetites of everyone nearby. Sure enough, a lot more people arrived, making the scene look a little eerie.
The Chen family didn't invite anyone to the meal. There were too many people, and they couldn't possibly invite everyone. If they invited one person but didn't invite another, they would inevitably be resented. So they simply ate by themselves!
This was the first time in so many years that the Chen family had eaten so much delicious meat. They couldn't stop eating and only put down their bowls and chopsticks after they finished.
Fortunately, Su Nanxi had the foresight to worry that these people's stomachs might not be able to handle eating too much meat all at once, so she didn't cook too much meat and ate it in two portions to maintain a balanced diet.
The Chen family ate with great satisfaction, feeling that their lives were complete, and they were even more reluctant to let Su Nanxi go back so soon.
They warmly invited the three of them to stay another night and return the next morning.
Mo Yunmei was a little unhappy. She wanted to go back. There was plenty of meat to eat! Eating meat was a common occurrence at the Mo family's house, so she wasn't particularly fond of it!
Her biggest worry right now is her important matter. She wonders if Jin Hua knows she's visiting relatives and if she'll put in a good word for her, asking the young master to wait for her so she can go back soon!
She told Grandma Mo that she wanted to go back, but Grandma Mo looked up at the sky and said helplessly, "It's afternoon now. If we go back now, given our pace, and considering you're seasick, you'll need to rest for a while. We probably won't get home until midnight. I'm old, and I can't see anything at night. What if I fall into a ditch or a cave? I'd better go back in the morning. A day is enough time for me to walk there slowly. Aren't you afraid of wolves or snakes at night? It's not too late to pack your things and go back now. Go ahead, I'll see you to the crossroads."
Upon hearing that there were wolves and snakes, Mo Yunmei's hair stood on end. She no longer dared to insist on going back and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I'll go back with Mother!"
After saying that, she turned and ran out, afraid that Old Madam Mo would really tell her to pack her things and go back immediately.
As soon as Mo Yunmei walked away, Old Lady Mo spat out a curse in her heart, thinking that she was brainless and only knew how to think about such nonsense!
What is she thinking? Doesn't her mother, who has raised her for over ten years, know?
His thoughts were practically written all over his face, as if he were telling everyone!
Grandma Mo thought to herself that if she went back tomorrow, she could make it in time for the appointed time, so she would just send Mo Yunmei back to her real home to avoid any complications.
When we discussed it together, that was the plan. We had an extra day. If it was late when we arrived in town, we would find a reliable inn to stay overnight and then send her back together another day when all the Mo family members had gathered in town.
Mo Yunmei was completely unaware of the situation; she was racking her brains trying to figure out how to tell Zhao Jinhua when she got back.
It was very hot at night, and it was really uncomfortable for three people to squeeze together. Everyone was covered in sweat and felt sticky. They would stick together when they touched each other, and they couldn't even turn over when they slept on their sides.
Su Nanxi couldn't stand it anymore. She got out of bed, found two long benches, and put them together to make a makeshift bed. It was long enough, but a bit narrow.
But it felt much more comfortable and cool. She could even move around a bit while lying down and do some stretching exercises.
Hmm! Much more comfortable now. Sigh! She still isn't used to being squeezed with people!
Now I know how my cheap husband is doing, sigh! Another night of missing him!
Mo Yunmei slept soundly, knowing that she could go back home the next day and soon marry into a wealthy family. She was so happy! Even her dreams were sweet!
Grandma Mo couldn't fall asleep. She was very sleepy, but she was a bit picky about her bed, just like last night. However, she was very patient and lay quietly.
She knew Su Nanxi was up and that Su Nanxi was sleeping on the bench, but she didn't say anything, nor did she have anything to say.
She was preoccupied with her thoughts and couldn't fall asleep. Listening to Mo Yunmei's snoring beside her, she felt a mix of emotions.
This might be the last time I get so close to this other person's daughter. Sigh! I've raised her for nothing!
The next morning, after breakfast, Grandma Mo said she was going home. Zhou Qionghua wanted them to stay for two more days, but Grandma Mo declined, saying she was anxious about home and insisted on going back. Zhou Qionghua had no choice but to see the three of them off at the intersection.
Chen Chong was very reluctant to part with him and did not go out to see him off. He hid behind the house and secretly wiped away his tears.
It's rare for them to encounter so many fun things; they definitely won't have them once they go back!
He knew perfectly well why the Chen family could afford to exchange meat for money!
Su Nanxi and the other two were eager to return home, and their journey back was much faster. Mo Yunmei even managed to overcome seasickness; look at that, what great willpower she has!
We were almost at the town, and I thought it was just a short walk and would go smoothly, but then something unexpected happened.
The three of them got tired and rested under a tree by the roadside. Just as they were about to continue walking, two people rushed out from a side path not far away, running towards them as if their lives depended on it. The three of them were startled.
With quick reflexes, Su Nanxi grabbed the two stunned people beside her and dodged them with a swift movement, avoiding a collision that could have resulted in a tumble.
Huh? These two look so familiar!
This familiar disarray, this familiar being chased!
Tsk tsk!
Isn't this Master Chen and his master?
Why are those two always around? What have they been up to this time? Oh! Who did they mess with?
Let's ignore them; there are definitely more people behind them!
Su Nanxi made a quick decision, scattering a large bag of powder on the path, then grabbed the two still bewildered people beside her and ran in another direction.
Run as fast as you can!
Mo Yunmei felt real fear for the first time, and dared not say anything. She ran after them, almost running herself out of breath!
Grandma Mo wasn't much better off. She was old and her body wasn't as strong as a young person's, but escaping was the priority, so she could only run as fast as she could.
When Su Nanxi felt they had reached a safe distance and stopped to rest, the other two were so exhausted that they leaned against a tree, panting heavily, and it took them a long time to recover.
"If I had that crackling thing, let's see if you still dare to chase me?"
