Tian Chengcheng did not try to persuade Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen didn't say anything else.
When it was time for dinner, Mu Xingchen went to cook. The food tasted good as usual, but the old lady had no appetite this time and didn't eat much.
Tian Chengcheng saw this and felt a little worried.
"Grandma, you should eat more. Exhausting yourself like this won't help you in the future. We should face everything positively." Tian Chengcheng said as she served her a bowl of millet porridge. "Millet porridge is good for the stomach and very nutritious. Just drink one more bowl."
The old lady couldn't bear to refuse Tian Chengcheng's kindness, and reluctantly drank the millet porridge.
"Fubao is right. We must face things bravely. I can't go on like this. I didn't expect that at this age, I would still encounter such a thing. I can only deal with it as it comes."
"Grandma, that's the right thing to do. I believe that in life, we will always encounter many difficulties. As long as we are not afraid of losing and insist on justice, we will always achieve the results we want. Since ancient times, good has never prevailed over evil."
Finally, a smile appeared on the old lady's solemn face.
"What Fubao said makes sense. I feel much better after listening to it. Fubao is right." The old man said, and ate a little more food before letting Mother He take away all the food.
She planned to take a lunch break as usual. After all, there was no point in being anxious now. Since those people knew that the raw stone was in Miao Houde's hands, they must be more anxious than her.
Given Miao Houde's personality, he would definitely not sit idly by and would get to the bottom of this matter.
Seeing that the old lady wanted to rest, Tian Chengcheng and Mu Xingchen also left. Tian Chengcheng wanted to sleep for a while, but Mu Xingchen sat in the corner of the room and refused to leave.
"You sleep, I'll read here." He was holding a book and looking at it.
"You don't have your own room. If you want to read, go back to your room. What if I fall asleep and my snoring disturbs your reading?"
"Do you snore?"
"I'm just using a metaphor. What I mean is, get out of here right now."
"I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay here." Mu Xingchen said as he sat down on the chair and opened the book to read.
Seeing him like this, Tian Chengcheng was speechless.
What is this guy thinking? He has his own room to live in, but he insists on staying here with her.
"Go back to your room quickly," said Tian Chengcheng.
"Go to sleep. I'll be here with you. If there's any danger, I can protect you."
"Do you think I'm someone who's afraid of danger? I'm much stronger than you. Even if you're in danger, I won't be in danger. Get out of here right now."
Seeing that he didn't move, Tian Chengcheng put on her slippers and dragged him out, "Get out!"
The two of them were making a fuss, and just as they reached the door, they saw two men and two women coming into the yard. They were about 40 years old, dressed very gorgeously, and were obviously descendants of the Mu family.
After they saw Tian Chengcheng and Mu Xingchen, they guessed who they were and their faces looked very unhappy.
"Where did these beggars come from? They actually come to live with the old lady. The old lady is really something. I don't know what she was thinking. She actually let two beggars live with her." A woman in a purple cheongsam spoke very rudely.
Mu Xingchen was about to rush over when Tian Chengcheng grabbed him.
There is no need to care about such people, and the timing of these four people coming here is a bit suspicious. Could it be because of the raw stone?
If that's the case, the old lady is already tired enough dealing with the four of them, so it's better not to make things worse.
Mu Xingchen didn't go over, but the look he gave the four people was very unfriendly.
You can bully him, but you must never bully Fubao.
"Auntie, you have a naturally dark complexion, and purple makes your complexion even darker. I suggest you change the color, otherwise you will not only look darker but also older, like you are in your fifties or sixties." Tian Chengcheng said with a smile.
People from the south have darker skin, so she looks particularly old in that purple cheongsam. A 40-year-old woman looks like she's in her 50s or 60s.
Tian Chengcheng said this on purpose.
She and Mu Xingchen will live in the Mu family in the future. Their first meeting will be considered a confrontation. If they keep giving in, it will only make these people become more and more demanding.
So, she didn't intend to give in, but she also didn't intend to openly conflict.
The woman's face flushed red with anger when she heard her words.
"What are you talking about, you stinky beggar! I am the second wife of the Mu family. I live outside the Mu family. I eat and drink our food. When you see me, not only don't you greet me, you even talk nonsense! Come on, throw these two things out." Wang Yunhua has been in the Mu family all her life and is used to being arrogant. Even when she sees the old lady, she is sarcastic. How can she tolerate being ridiculed in person?
His face immediately darkened and he ordered someone to throw Tian Chengcheng out.
The other two men and one woman beside him didn't say anything, just waiting to watch the show.
Two servants in simple clothes came forward and tried to drag Tian Chengcheng and Mu Xingchen out.
Tian Chengcheng stood still, looking at the two men with a sneer.
"We are the old lady's guests. Try to move us! Don't you see who is in charge here? You'd better know your place."
After hearing his words, the two men really didn't dare to take action.
Wang Yunhua was furious.
"Guests, what's so great about that? I'm still the master of this house. If you disrespect me, you're disrespecting our Mu family. What's wrong with me kicking you out? Even if the old lady is here, she can't say anything."
Wang Yunhua was born into a wealthy family. When she married into the Mu family, she brought a generous dowry, which saved the Mu family from crisis at the time. Because of this, she has been almost domineering in the Mu family over the years. The old lady was too lazy to argue with her, so she just separated her and the other couple and let them run a stall separately. In this way, conflicts could be reduced.
I didn't expect that she would go further today and even bully the old lady.
At this time, the old lady's door opened, and Mother He moved a chair out and placed it at the main entrance.
The old lady sat on it, and although she was old, she still had dignity and majesty.
As soon as they saw her, the two men didn't dare to speak, and the other woman also lowered her head. Only Wang Yunhua still raised her head, but her voice was obviously not as loud as before.
"Mom, you have to take care of this matter. Where did this beggar come from? It's fine if he eats and drinks from our family, but he starts scolding me. You have to take charge of this matter for me, otherwise I won't be able to get through this matter."
"My guests have to go through with it, Wang Yunhua, watch your attitude. No matter what, since you have entered my Mu family, you are a member of my Mu family and must abide by the rules of the Mu family. I was generous before and didn't bother to argue with you. Don't lose your sense of propriety and don't know who you are! Could it be that you are still the head of this Mu family?"
The old lady retorted, making Wang Yunhua's face turn pale.
