Liu Cuirong stood at the main entrance, peeking out. She had just inquired and heard that Xiao Xitian had not been found yet, which brought her a burst of joy...
"Hmph, what did I say? Without me, your old Yun family will just wait to suffer misfortune!"
She had been living comfortably at the bun shop in town for the past few days. Lu Shi and Liu Cuijin had not returned from collecting pigs.
She had almost eaten all the flour and rice at the bun shop...
Liu Cuirong was penniless and decided that once the food ran out, she would sell the valuable items in the shop. This way, she could hold on until her mother returned.
"Second sister-in-law?" Hu Xier was picking scallions in the garden when she turned around and saw Liu Cuirong grinning foolishly with schadenfreude.
"What are you doing here?" Hu Xier asked.
Now, whenever she saw Liu Cuirong's face, she felt disgusted...
Last time, her big mouth had loosened Hu Xier's back molars, which still ached with a buzzing sensation.
Liu Cuirong frowned, "No, what business is it of yours that I'm standing here? Just a little broken servant girl, think you're the mistress of the Yun family?"
Hu Xier: "..."
Is it that a dog can't change its ways, or is it just her nature?
"Then stand here!" Hu Xier took the scallions and walked into the courtyard.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you in such a hurry? I have something to say!" Liu Cuirong grabbed her.
Hu Xier looked disgusted, "What do you want to say?"
A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory.
What else could she say besides spewing nonsense?
Liu Cuirong nudged her chin towards the courtyard and couldn't help but laugh, "How are Father and Mother?"
After all the worry and anger, did they just suddenly pass away?
Hu Xier: "..."
Are you sure you're here to care about your family?
https:/
It would be good if you didn't kick them while they were down; pretending to care is disgusting!
"They're fine!" Hu Xier said expressionlessly.
Liu Cuirong glanced around and pulled Hu Xier to the corner of the wall, "Xier, your second sister-in-law has treated you well, right?"
"This way, Mother's dowry is in the bottom of the big wardrobe. Go and steal it!"
"There are quite a few large gold nuggets and silver bracelets in there. If you sell them, I'll give you half the money, how about it?"
She was really short on cash right now...
Her mother and Liu Cuirong were still not returning.
That's why she had set her sights on Gu Shi's dowry.
Hu Xier snorted, "Why should I help you steal things? Don't you remember how you treated me before?"
Liu Cuirong: "..."
This little vixen, why is she still holding a grudge?
"Oh, you have a grudge against me, but you don't have a grudge against money, right? It's foolish not to make money!" Liu Cuirong rolled her eyes at her.
Hu Xier's mouth twitched after hearing this.
She felt that Liu Cuirong had lost all humanity.
She had traveled from the county town to Dashui Village, but didn't even bother to check on Xiao Bao and Jinshan. Her only thought was to steal things. What kind of mother was like this in the world...
"I won't steal. You figure it out yourself!" Hu Xier pushed her away and went to the kitchen to wash the scallions.
"This little slut!" Liu Cuirong stamped her foot and cursed through gritted teeth.
In the main hall, Gu Shi drank a bowl of noodle soup, and her stomach felt warm...
Hu Xier walked in, contemplating whether to tell Madam Gu about Liu Cuirong's attempt to steal the dowry.
"Xier, bring the scallions up, don't just hold them in your hand!" Old Man Yun beckoned.
"Oh!" Hu Xier handed over the scallions and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Madam... Madam Gu, I, I just met Second Sister-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shi's expression changed, and she asked in a deep voice, "What did she come here for?"
The family was chaotic enough these days. If Liu Cuirong dared to come back and cause trouble, Gu Shi would not let her off.
Hu Xier mumbled, "Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law incited me to steal Madam Gu's dowry. She wants to sell your gold nuggets and silver bracelets..."
As soon as she said this, everyone at the dinner table was speechless.
Yun Erman slammed down his big bowl and cursed, "That prodigal woman, where is she?"
Even after being driven out, she was still thinking about the family's belongings. Did she have any conscience at all...
"She's at the main entrance!" Hu Xier pointed outside.
Yun Erman, ignoring the obstruction of his third brother and elder brother, rushed out directly.
A moment later, he dragged Liu Cuirong in as if she were a little chick.
"Erman, what are you doing? So many people, hurry up and let me go..." Liu Cuirong shrieked.
Yun Erman, without regard for anything else, slapped her across the face.
Liu Cuirong stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
"Wuwuwu, Yun Lao Er, you, you actually hit your wife in front of so many people, are you even a man?"
Liu Cuirong covered her face and wailed.
Yun Erman, already annoyed, became even more enraged by her outcry, "You wretched thing, I ask you, when did Eldest Sister-in-law give birth, didn't you even look, and you were sleeping the whole time?"
"Wuwu, what use is it if I look? Can I pull the baby out directly? Wuwu!" Liu Cuirong felt extremely wronged.
Everyone: "..."
Listen to this, what kind of monstrous words are these?
Are these human words?
"You even pulled out the plaque that Little Sweet Treasure earned, and almost chipped the corner. Why are your hands so meddlesome..." Yun Erman scolded.
This time, Liu Cuirong dared not retort.
She had no right!
Gu Shi and Old Man Yun both had gloomy expressions, having nothing more to say to this daughter-in-law.
"You even incited Xier to steal Mother's dowry, that's Mother's dowry from back then, are you even human?"
Yun Erman roared loudly, causing the constables and villagers eating in the courtyard to put down their bowls and come to the entrance of the main hall to watch the excitement...
Prefect Chen, while rolling his dry tobacco, glanced at Liu Cuirong with his eyes.
For the Yun family to have such a daughter-in-law was truly a misfortune for the family.
Yun Jinshan, holding Yun Xiaobao, looked indifferent.
Now, no matter what their mother said, the two sons would not plead for her...
Liu Cuirong's eyes were red with tears, and she sobbed, "Mother drove me out and didn't even give me a single copper coin. I had no way out and couldn't come back to ask for some travel money? Wuwu!"
"I've been married into your old Yun family for so many years, and I've given birth to two children, and now I'm even pregnant with another one. How can you bear to watch me starve to death on the streets? Wuwu..."
Old Man Yun snorted and tapped the table with his pipe, "You weren't asking for money, you were stealing, you were robbing, you're not even as good as a petty thief!"
"Hurry up and get rid of her!" Gao Fengjuan said.
She had long been displeased with Liu Cuirong.
She was simply a troublemaker.
Useless at everything, and eating more than she consumed, a vexing thing...
"Fengjuan!" Yun Sanman frowned and tugged her hard.
Would it kill you to say a few less words?
After scolding, Yun Erman felt a sense of calm.
He instructed Jin Huaihua, "Huaihua, go get paper and pen!"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Yun Erman.
What was he going to do?
