The Yu Family's mother and daughter felt that they couldn't stay in the village any longer. They planned to go out and hide for a while!
Sun Weiyu lifted her chin towards the kitchen and asked her mother softly, "What about him? Are we still bringing him along when we go out?"
Yu Hongyan shook her head decisively. "You're talking about Mi Jianguo, hmph. Forget it. He won't be able to do anything even if he goes out. He'll only be a burden to us. He and I were originally married halfway. In the past, I reluctantly made do with him because he had a house and the strength to support me. Now that you've grown up, we don't need him for anything. Why do we still need him?"
She looked up at her daughter. "What do you think?"
Sun Meiyu pursed her lips. "I think so too. I've never liked him. He's so listless. I really don't know how you've been living with him."
Look, all these years, haven't I been the one in charge of this family? All the money he earns has been in my hands. Mi Jianguo has never been arrogant in front of us, and you haven't suffered either. You've always had good food and clothes, and there's nothing to be picky about. Now, things have changed, and it's time to kick him out. Let's take the money and go far away. "
Sun Weiyu nodded vigorously. "Mom, you're right. You're still young. If we go to the city this time, you might even have a third spring!"
Yu Hongyan touched her face with her hand. She lowered her head and smiled. "What spring?"
She was happy in her heart!
She had made up her mind. If there was a suitable one outside, she would immediately leave with him. If there wasn't a suitable one outside, she would still continue to eat Mi Jianguo's work points.
This mother and daughter!
Neither of them was a good person.
Mi Jianguo had taken care of them, but in the end, he was kicked out of the village. He didn't even get a word of gratitude.
Yu Hongyan held her daughter's hand and said, "Weiyu, you're already an adult, and this trip to the city will determine your fate. There are some things that I'll be frank with you. As a woman, if you want to live a good life, you have to make use of your assets. You're still young and beautiful, and it's more important for you to grab a rich and powerful man. When it's time to give, give, and when it's time to throw yourself at him, throw yourself at him. Don't pretend to be noble and virtuous, those things are worthless.
Do you understand? "Sun Weiyu rolled her eyes. Although she didn't say anything, she felt that her mother was right. Anyway, she wasn't a virgin anymore. It was more important to find real" happiness ".
After the mother and daughter finished chatting, they started to pack their "luggage". They didn't bring any clothes. After all, they were "running away" in the middle of the night. It wasn't convenient for them to carry big and small bags. They only brought the valuables at home. They also secretly took away all of Mi Jianguo's savings over the past few years. They found an excuse. "Old Mi, Weiyu was frightened by Li Bubai's incident. I'm bringing her to stay at her cousin's house for a few days."
Mi Jianguo didn't suspect anything. "Then let's go."
Yu Hongyan even reminded him, "Old Mi, if Zhao Qiuju comes to make trouble again, don't admit that you've seen Li Bubai. Anyway, we can't find his body. It's useless even if Zhao Qiuju accuses you. If you spit it out, then you're really done for. Remember, you were the one who stabbed Li Bubai at the end. You were also there when he sank into the river. You'll never be able to get away with it."
Mi Jianguo agreed submissively. "Yes, yes, I understand."
She could only watch helplessly as the mother and daughter swaggered away.
At the Tang residence.
The next morning.
Mi Xaing 'er brought the offerings and joss paper she bought to her mother's room. "Mom, I've bought everything."
Tang Xiling nodded. "Okay, leave it there."
She sighed at her daughter. "You're really stubborn. Why did you insist on staying at home? Also, Yun Jingting, forget it. Since things have come to this, I won't say anything more."
Mi Xaing 'er smiled. "You're right."
She casually told her what happened when Zhao Qiuju went to the Yu residence to make trouble. She carefully observed Tang Xiling's expression and saw that she had a card up her sleeve. It was as if everything was within her expectations.
Mi Xaing 'er asked casually, "Mom, where did you bring Fu Bowen to yesterday? What exactly did you arrange?"
Tang Xiling said calmly, "You don't have to care so much. Anyway, I'll make sure that Yu Hongyan doesn't have a good life. Also, I'll force the mastermind behind her out sooner or later."
She changed the topic. "Help me get Mi Jianguo here. Don't dawdle. I'll wait here."
Ah.
Looking for Mi Jianguo.
Tang Xiling had been back for so long, but she never had any contact with Mi Jianguo.
Mi Xaing 'er knew that her mother was smart and had her own plans before doing anything. She didn't ask any more questions and simply agreed. She turned around and went to the Yu residence.
When she entered, the courtyard was very quiet. Mi Jianguo was squatting alone in a corner, drying chilies. When he heard some noise, he turned around and was a little surprised. "Xiang 'er, why are you here?"
Mi Xaing 'er quickly glanced into the house.
Mi Jianguo was smart at this moment. "Ah, your mom and sister, I mean Yu Hongyan and Weiyu, went to visit relatives. They're not at home. Why are you looking for me?"
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "My mom wants you to go over."
Mi Jianguo immediately put down what he was doing and rubbed his hands on his body. He bent down and patted his pants. He didn't dare to delay for a moment. "Let's go then."
He followed Mi Xaing 'er and went straight back to the mansion.
The two of them didn't talk on the way back. They didn't have the closeness of a father and daughter at all.
After entering the courtyard, Mi Jianguo deliberately slowed down his footsteps and coughed softly in the corridor. This was probably his habit when he was a servant in the past. When he wanted to meet the "boss", he always had to make a noise and get permission before he dared to enter.
Sure enough …
Tang Xiling spoke softly in the upper room. Her voice was exceptionally soft through the window. "Come in."
Mi Jianguo bowed and agreed. "Okay."
He entered the house respectfully and stood by the door obediently. His hands were hanging by his side and his eyes were looking at the ground. He didn't dare to look at Tang Xiling. "Missy, are you looking for me?"
Mi Xaing 'er frowned. In the past, she was young and didn't realize that the interaction between her parents was so "strange". Their words and actions were more like a master-servant relationship. They didn't look like a married couple at all.
Tang Xiling replied with a faint "Mm" and didn't say anything else. She picked up the teacup beside her and sipped her tea gently.
The house was quiet.
Mi Jianguo didn't dare to speak first.
Even Mi Xaing 'er felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. She couldn't help but cough softly.
Tang Xiling put down her teacup. "Big Brother Mi."
Ah …
Big Brother Mi …
Mi Xaing 'er felt that it was even stranger. Who would call their ex-husband "Big Brother Mi"?
She sensitively sensed that something was wrong. She stood silently at the side and observed.
When Mi Jianguo heard "Big Brother", he acted as if he had done something wrong. He immediately bowed. "Missy, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm listening."
Tang Xiling pointed at the burning joss paper at the side. "Big Brother Mi, today is the anniversary of my father's death. I'm not feeling well. I want to ask you to go up the mountain and burn some money for him. Is that okay?"
Mi Jianguo slapped his forehead in annoyance. "Is today the anniversary of Old Master's death? D * mn it, how could I forget? When Old Master passed away, I knelt in front of him and swore that I would be loyal to the Tang family for the rest of my life and be half a son of the Tang family for the rest of my life."
It's not that I'm ungrateful, but I still remember the kindness the Tang family has shown me. I grew up without parents, and it was Master who bought me and raised me by his side. After that, you didn't treat me unfairly. You gave me money and a house, and I originally wanted to repay you. After you left, I should have taken care of Mi Xiang 'er, but these three years, it's hard for me to explain. Do you think I've treated Xiang' er unfairly? "
Tang Xiling raised her eyebrows and said in a dignified tone, "Didn't you?"
It was a rhetorical question, but it was also the truth.
Mi Jianguo immediately stopped talking.
He paused for a long time. He was a little agitated and his tone was slightly higher. "I also want to take good care of Xiang 'er, but I have my reasons. I don't have the right to do so. I'm not her biological father."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Xiling slammed her hand on the table. With a "bang", the teacup fell to the ground and broke into two.
Mi Jianguo was so frightened that he trembled. He seemed to have just realized that he had said something wrong. He lowered his head and glanced at Mi Xaing 'er from the corner of his eyes. "I-I …"
