The Shen brothers were all incredibly surprised when they saw the enormous snow wolf.
Although they are beastmen, their strength is average. Even if they encounter a wild beast like a snow wolf, they cannot defeat it. How did Shen Miao, a female beast, manage to do it?
Compared to the surprise of the Shen brothers, the eldest sister-in-law of the Shen family was much quicker to act. With a quick glance, she rushed forward, grabbed the snow wolf, and dragged it toward her.
"You promised, this snow wolf is ours."
The greedy face of the eldest sister-in-law of the Shen family was completely exposed.
Shen Ersao, who had been silent until now, also joined the fight for the snow wolf. The two of them fought back and forth for the snow wolf, neither willing to give in.
One said, "This snow wolf should belong to my family. We're the eldest in the family." The other said, "Pah! The meat that Shen Miao took was hunted by the second eldest. This snow wolf should belong to them too."
In short, they went back and forth, arguing fiercely.
The brothers simply watched silently without intervening, which showed that they tacitly approved of it.
Seeing this, Shen Miao smiled coldly, "The meat has been returned to you. Now let's talk about Mother."
"What does this have to do with Mother?" Shen Lao Er asked nervously.
Shen Miao curled her lips into a smile: "What do you think? Isn't Mother's current state a result of your abuse? I could have asked the clansmen to judge this matter."
She paused deliberately, and her brothers' expressions immediately changed drastically. They said sternly, "Chen Miao, how dare you? Your mother doesn't want to embarrass herself, does she, Mother?"
"You all know how shameful this is. When you don't give your mother food, don't you feel ashamed?"
The group stammered, unable to speak.
Shen Miao was disgusted by their greedy and selfish behavior and said directly, "But I think you treated Mother quite well before, so I'll let it go this time. However, I want to take Mother to my place to stay for a while. I don't want to hear that Mother has been starved to death by you when I come back next time."
The brothers had long considered the old female beast a burden, and they were more than happy to get rid of her. Hearing Shen Miao say this, they were overjoyed.
But the eldest brother Shen said hypocritically, "That's not right. We brothers are still alive, how can we let you support our mother?"
"Is that really what you think, brother? Then forget it. I was just saying."
The group grew anxious. The second son of the Shen family glared at his eldest brother and said with a smile, "Shen Miao, eldest brother is joking. We have no objection to you wanting Mother to live with you. After all, Mother has been so good to you, even more so to us brothers. It is only right that you take care of her."
Seeing how eager they were to get rid of the old female beast, Shen Miao felt sorry for her.
She didn't want to waste any more words with these people, so she said softly to the old female beast, "Mother, come back with me. The cubs miss you very much. When they heard I was coming back today, they all clamored to come with me."
The old female beast wanted to refuse, but Shen Miao wouldn't let her say more and was about to take her away. Helpless, the old female beast could only say that she was going to pack some things, and Shen Miao finally gave up.
She followed her mother to the room, which was nothing more than a cramped storage room. There was nothing inside, and seeing Shen Miao made her furious again.
Finally, the old female beast took a set of animal skin clothing and left with Shen Miao.
As they reached the door, Second Sister-in-law suddenly ran over enthusiastically, smiling like a flower, calling her Fifth Sister repeatedly, and reaching out to take Chen Miao's hand.
Shen Miao, of course, wouldn't let her pull her. She took a step back and said coldly, "Say what you have to say, don't pull and tug."
Second Sister-in-law's smile froze for a moment, then she said naturally, "It's nothing, I just saw that Fifth Sister has only come back once in a long time, it's not easy for her, she hasn't even eaten. I grilled some meat, why don't we sit down and eat first?"
"No need." Shen Miao pulled the old female beast and walked past her.
Why didn't you say this earlier? You're about to leave and you're already saying these useless things. Besides, I didn't see Shen Miao light a fire, so where did the roasted meat come from? Are you going to eat it raw?
Second Sister-in-law got anxious and rushed in front of the two of them to stop them from leaving: "Um, Fifth Sister, I really have something to say. You just got a high-grade beast crystal, and I wanted to ask you if it could help Second Sister-in-law. Your Second Brother is in the critical period of advancement. With this beast crystal, he can advance successfully right away. This would be a good thing for you too."
"Oh, Second Brother is about to advance in rank?" Shen Miao asked unhurriedly.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, the second sister-in-law was secretly delighted, thinking that there was hope. She worked even harder, saying, "Yes, you've been stuck for so long, and you're finally about to advance. Your second brother has had a tough time too, Fifth Sister, please be understanding. Your second sister-in-law will remember your kindness."
Shen Miao laughed and said, "Why should I be considerate of him? What does it have to do with me whether he advances or not?"
"But he's your second brother," the sister-in-law continued, trying to persuade him.
“When I was starving, this second brother didn’t even come to see me once,” Shen Miao stated calmly.
After saying that, he didn't even glance at his second sister-in-law, grabbed the old female beast and left, ignoring her calls from behind.
...
Qingchen is asleep, and the four little ones are playing at the door.
This place faces the main road; Shen Miao can see it immediately when she returns.
"Brother, do you think Mother will come back?" Little Sibao asked anxiously, resting his chin on his hands.
Of the four children, the fourth child is currently the one most attached to Shen Miao.
Da Bao admonished, "Xiao Si Bao, don't keep thinking about this. She will definitely come back. Where else could she go if she doesn't come back? She's a married woman."
“But, can someone who has been married before remarry? Uncle Zhao’s aunt is a female beast who has been married before,” Sanbao asked.
Da Bao pursed his lips tightly, and after a moment said, "Anyway, you guys shouldn't think about those things; it's no use thinking about them."
The children all fell silent. It wasn't useless; no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't bring the person back.
But the kids weren't in a good mood, and they didn't even seem to enjoy playing with their favorite crickets as usual.
The four little ones were hugging Fulu's nest. By the way, they had named the snow wolf cub Fulu, which was given to them with Shen Miao's guidance. It had a very beautiful meaning.
Her little hands gently touched Fulu, and she murmured, "Fulu, do you think my mother will come back? She definitely will, right?"
"What are you all doing at the door? Where's your mother?"
The cubs were feeling unwell when they suddenly heard the voice of a female beast.
The cubs looked up and saw the elderly female beast approaching. She had a thin face, slanted eyes, and a rather fierce look. As soon as she arrived, she looked into the house.
"Grandma," the children stood up and called out obediently.
It turns out this is Qingchen's mother, Lingxi. She lives in another wooden house and rarely comes here, so the children aren't very familiar with her.
Lingxi gave a perfunctory reply and was about to walk inside when the children quickly ran forward and blocked her way. The fourth child looked up at her, his voice obedient, "Grandma, you're looking for my mother, but she's not here."
