When Old Lady Bai heard of this, she immediately got up from the bamboo chair and asked: “You said they went to Zhang Sanshui’s house with those things?”

Mrs. Liu nodded her head: “I’m not lying, I saw it with my own eyes. They said they wanted to eat it together with him in his house.”

Old Lady Bai’s heart was filled with anger. She raised this son, but he brought foods to other people, is he stupid? Doesn’t he know that she was hungry?

Seeing the old lady get angry, but not moving, Mrs. Liu became anxious. They must go before they finish those things. Maybe they can still get something back.

“Niang, what are you still doing? Hurry up!”

Old Lady Bai squinted her eyes at her: “Hurry up? Where do you want me to go?”

Mrs. Liu’s face busily said: “Of course, we should go to Zhang Sanshui’s house. How can the second-brother-law do such a thing? Our family still hungry.”

Old Lady Bai sneered: “Hungry? I think I am the only hungry here. Didn’t you eat a full meal at lunch?”

Mrs. Liu’s dry smile: “Didn’t you eat too? We didn’t eat as much as you. Xiaofeng ate two more bowls. I and Dazhu eat together in a single bowl.”

The two of them eat together in a single bowl? Is she a fool? Bai Dazhu burp in fullness, but she’s saying he only ate half a bowl of porridge?

Old Lady Bai was so lazy to argue to Mrs. Liu. She slowly sat back and then said: “If it wasn’t for you stealing the rice from the second branch, will they brought their things to Zhang Sanshui’s house? Who are they guarding against? Don’t you know who? If you have something to eat, you’re not calling me. Now that you have to fight, you think of me?”

Now, no matter what Mrs. Liu said, she will never believe it anymore. This woman, her set of words cannot be trusted.

She really regretted it. If the second branch didn’t separate, her life will not be so miserable. Now, her good old days were gone. The money she saved for a long time was all spent on the first branch. Her winter rations were all gone. How will she live these days?

In the Capital, Meng Family.

“Gongzi, gongzi—” Jin Shiwei rushed into the study room where Meng Nan was with excitement.

Meng Nan was reading a book. He didn’t raise his head and just said: “What’s the matter?”

Jin Shiwei raised the letter in his hand and said: “Gongzi, Miss Bai replied.”

Meng Nan fiercely looked up and saw that Jin Shiwei was holding an envelope in his hand. He immediately threw the book in his hand and rushed to Jin Shiwei and then snatched it.

“Look at you, acting like a monkey. If Furen saw you, then you—-”

Meng Nan opened the letter and grinned: “Get out, what are you still blabbering about?”

Jin Shiwei hastily coughed twice and desperately winked at Meng Nan.

But how could Meng Nan still have the heart to look at him at this moment? His eyes were fixed on the envelope. In just a short while, he pulled out the letter. However, before he could take a look, the letter was taken away.

“I’d like to see what letter can make my son restless all day and ran to the porter 8 times a day. I wonder what does it look like?”

Xu Furen held the letter in her hand, but her eyes were staring at Meng Nan, whose face now looked miserable.

Meng Nan stretched out his hand to grab the letter back, but Xu Furen’s hand was now behind her: “What? Mother can’t look at it?”

Meng Nan frowned: “Mother, this is my letter, how can you read my letter casually? I have grown up and I have my own life and friends.”

Xu Furen sneered: “You look so anxious, is it a girl? Is it because of her that’s why you refuse to marry Xue’er?”
