“Since your grandparents live with you, your family must get a larger share of the property, right? You should be the ones taking care of them. Instead, you come here and act all high and mighty. Isn’t that going too far?” Sheng Qian sneered. “Besides, your uncle must have received a lot of benefits for finding such good resources to send me away.”
Sheng Muchen's eyes widened: "Sheng Qian, don't be ungrateful. My dad has been running around for your family. What's wrong with taking some benefits? If it weren't for my dad, Sheng Guanhua might be dead. Your family line would be cut off. Let's see how you survive then."
"Have you forgotten that I'm married? You still dare to ask me to serve someone? Aren't you afraid I'll brag to the Long family? With their abilities, even my uncle probably couldn't handle them." Sheng Qian crossed her arms in front of her and looked at the arrogant Sheng Muchen with a smile.

The courtyard was paved with mud bricks, and with so many people walking on it, it was a bit uneven and slippery.
The threshold was set a bit high. As soon as Sheng Qian stepped through the threshold, she saw the woman feeding the chickens. It was none other than Sheng Muchen's mother, Xu Qiao!
She turned her head and saw Sheng Qian, her eyes brightened, and she put down her work and said warmly, "Qian girl, your parents aren't home, why don't you stay for lunch today!"
Sheng Qian did come here to freeload a meal, but Xu Qiao's enthusiasm immediately gave Sheng Qian a bad feeling.
