Madam Liu was frightened by this scene and was a little at a loss, "Mom, I still have some here, why don't you take it first."

"How can I take your money? Your life is not easy."

"It's okay, you can use the money first. Daya uses the money she earns from collecting herbs, and our family can still make ends meet." Madam Liu opened the cabinet and took out a purse, "But I don't have enough money here, only thirty-five taels of silver."

The copper coins and silver were not put together, and Madam Liu also knew that the family could not be without any money.

"Daya is so capable. Where is Daya? Why haven't I seen her?" Madam Liu looked at the money in Madam Liu's hands and her eyes were shining.

When Lady Liu heard her say that, Daya paused for a moment and said, "She went to the mountain to collect herbs."

"She's a capable person, just like you."

When Madam Liu heard her say this, she smiled shyly, "Mother, take this money. I can't live without food or drink all day. I still need five taels."

Liu took the silver and said, "It's okay. Your father and I will think of a solution. Xinghua, it has to be you. Your father and I know that you are a filial son.

Don't worry, this money is a loan from your father and I, and I will pay you back when I have money."

Madam Liu looked at the silver in her hand and smiled. She was just saying this. Now that the money was in her hands, there was no reason for her to spend it.

Madam Liu was very pleased to hear this. She had not given any money to Daya before, thinking of saving it for Hu Zi to find a wife in the future. Now that she had given it all away, she felt a little guilty. When she heard her mother say that she would pay it back in the future, she felt much more at ease.

Hu Zi saw that Liu had taken all the money from their family, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He rushed over to snatch the silver from Liu's hand.

"That's our family's money, you are not allowed to take it!"

Madam Liu stopped Hu Zi and said, "Hu Zi, don't talk about grandma like that."

Hu Zi struggled, "She is not my grandma, give me back the money!"

Since she had already received the money, Mrs. Liu naturally would not return it. Seeing that Hu Zi was still making a fuss, Mrs. Liu slapped him a few times. Mrs. Liu had never hit him before, but after these slaps, Hu Zi was stunned and couldn't even cry.

When Mrs. Liu saw Hu Zi calm down, she said to Liu, "Mother, I will go cook for you. Please stay for lunch."

Now that she had the money, Liu had no time to eat. She wanted to go back and give the money to Cao Laohuai to prevent him from sending Yaozu to jail.

"No, it's getting late. I have to go back and cook for your father, so I won't stay for dinner."

Madam Liu tried to persuade him to stay, "I'll make it right away. It will be ready in no time. Eat first and then go back."

"No, no, maybe next time." Liu stood up, picked up the basket beside the kang and left. "Okay, your father is still at home waiting for me to cook."

Seeing that she could not persuade her any more, Madam Liu gave her some of the remaining pound of pork at home and sent her out.

Only after seeing Mrs. Liu's figure disappear on the road did she turn around and go home.

Hu Zi stood at the door of the main room, looking at Madam Liu with a wronged look on his face. Madam Liu felt a little guilty, but not much.

"Huzi, that's your grandma, your mother's mother. You can't be so ignorant in the future, okay?"

It has to be said that Madam Liu is not a clear-headed person. The family's previous success was due to the pressure from Li Tiezhu. That's right, with the way the Liu family raises her, it would be abnormal if Madam Liu was too normal.

Hu Zi didn't understand why his mother, whom he had always thought was gentle and kind, became like this. He shouted at her, "I don't want it!"

After saying that, he ran out of the yard. Madam Liu was very angry seeing his appearance. She felt that her life was becoming more and more difficult. Her daughter did not listen to her, and her son was so rebellious.

"Go away, go away. If you have the ability, don't come back!" Madam Liu went back to the house angrily.

When Hu Zi was wronged, the first thing he wanted to do was to find his sister, but he stopped at the foot of the mountain. His sister said that it was dangerous on the mountain and would not let him go up the mountain alone, so he thought about it and waited for his sister at the door of the house.

Then what happened was what Li Xi saw.

Hu Zi didn't understand. Before, his sister said she wanted to send him to school, but his mother didn't agree to pay. Then his sister said she wanted to collect medicinal herbs to make money, but his mother didn't agree to pay either.

Why did my mother give all the money to my grandma as soon as she came?

They are obviously a family, aren't they?

Li Xi's face turned cold when she saw Hu Zi looking aggrieved and unwilling to answer. She never expected that Madam Liu would be so confused.

She had previously thought that she only had a small-peasant mentality, but she didn't expect that she was actually a brother-supporting woman. She had already asked Hu Zi, and he had never seen the so-called grandma before.

He had never been here before, but now that Li Tiezhu had just left, he couldn't wait to come and ask for money. It seemed that he had been taught a lesson by Li Tiezhu before.

Madam Liu in the room naturally heard the noise of Li Xi coming back. She tilted her ear close to the window to listen to what they said, but Li Xi and Hu Zi went into the kitchen, so she naturally heard nothing.

Li Xi looked at Hu Zi's aggrieved look and sighed, "Leave this matter to me. It's already noon. Are you hungry?"

Hearing Li Xi's question, Hu Zi pursed his lips and burst into tears again, "Wow, meat, all the meat at home was given away by my mother... Hu Zi, Hu Zi hasn't eaten it yet..."

Li Xi didn't expect that Madam Liu was so "generous" and generous to others.

"It's okay, Huzi, I'll get it back in a minute."

Li Xi would eat anything but would not suffer in silence. From the fact that Hu Zi had never seen this so-called grandmother, she knew that the Liu family was definitely not a good family.

She gave the silver to Madam Liu, not to the Liu family.

Li Xi made a simple lunch and sent Hu Zi to eat with Gu Yin. She told him not to come out no matter what happened and to handle the rest by himself.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Madam Liu adjusted her body and sat on the kang, lowering her head to fiddle with her needlework.

"Has anyone been here just now?"

Hearing Li Xi's cold voice, Madam Liu paused, "That's my mother, your grandma."

"What is she here for?"

Madam Liu said with emotion, "Your grandma knew that your father had passed away, so she came to see us specially. She even asked about you."

"You haven't been around for so many years, why are you here all of a sudden?" Li Xi sneered, "I'm afraid you're here to take advantage of me."

"Li Xi! How can you talk like that!" Madam Liu scolded.

Li Xi is not afraid of her. "I heard from Hu Zi that you gave her all the money in the family. What? Are we going to starve?"

Madam Liu also knew that it was wrong for her to lend out all the money, but how could she admit it?

"That money is lent to your uncle for marrying a wife. They will pay it back in the future."

"Will he pay it back?" Li Xi laughed sarcastically, "He can't even afford to marry a wife, and you expect him to pay it back in the future."

"What do you know!" Madam Liu felt wronged by what Li Xi said, "We are the only orphans and widows left at home now. We have to count on your uncle to help us in the future."
