Xia Mo burst into laughter after he finished speaking. When he thought of the sarcastic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling with each other, he couldn't help but want to run to them and beat drums and gongs and applaud.

Seeing that the boy was almost laughing with tears in his eyes, Ling Chuan couldn't help but let a faint smile appear on the corner of his mouth.

"This is still happening."

"Yes, yes, so Brother Ling, let's keep an eye on Wang Mazi for a while. He is a scoundrel without a wife. If he really hooks up with Li, I guess he won't let Li go easily, especially since he has suffered a lot from me. I can't touch him, but it's not certain for Li who has the handle on him."

Xia Mo had a wicked smile on his face, with a dazzling light flashing in his lively eyes, which made Ling Chuan's heart feel itchy as if it was scratched by a feather a few times.

The young man's clear voice continued, "As long as they are really in collusion, we will take action after a while. This will not only make them relax their vigilance, but may also give Liu Dazhi a triple surprise..."

Xia Mo talked a lot until he saw that the firewood in the stove was almost burned out. He turned around and stuffed some firewood into the stove, and added another handful of firewood.

Then he remembered that Ling Chuan hadn't expressed his opinion yet, so he turned his head, coughed twice, and asked Ling Chuan uncertainly: "Brother Ling, what do you think?"

Ling Chuan nodded, "Not bad."

Kill three birds with one stone.

"Hehe, I think it's feasible too."

Xia Mo grinned after getting a satisfactory answer. This would make for a good show. Then it would be his turn to see how the mother and daughter would deal with it.

There is also Liu Baokun, a scholar who thinks he is superior to others. How can he have the face to enjoy himself outside?

Forget about Yu, she is still lying in bed. If she is angry, she will just stay in bed for a few more days at most. As for Liu Dazhi, he must be feeling very upset, haha.

But when it comes to Liu Dazhi, Xia Mo always feels that the affair between him and Ze Ge'er's mother is very suspicious.

Apart from anything else, just based on the relics she left behind, it can be judged that her origins must be extraordinary. After all, in that era, precious items like jade rings were not something that ordinary families could own.

Secondly, since she can make most people in Liujia Village remember her kindness, it can be seen that her way of doing things is very popular. She doesn't look like a blind person. Why does she fall for Liu Dazhi, a fool?

The indenture she left behind was also very mysterious. Judging from the reactions of the people in Liujia Village, it was obvious that they were all unaware of it. Taking a step back, even if she wanted to cooperate with someone, she should have found someone who was easier to control...

Xia Mo couldn't help but suppress his smile and frowned as he thought about it. He even began to doubt that Ze Ge'er was not Liu Dazhi's child.

Also, did Liu Dazhi know about the existence of the indenture? If he didn't know, his name was clearly written on the indenture, and his handprint was also pressed, so this point didn't make sense.

Could it be that Liu Dazhi thought that the indenture had been destroyed, and he already had a grudge against Ze Ge'er's mother, so he allowed Li and others to abuse Ze Ge'er so brazenly?

Xia Mo stroked his chin, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was not impossible. Maybe Ze Ge'er's mother discovered that Liu Dazhi had ulterior motives and secretly switched the couple.

Xia Mo had fallen into deep thought and didn't notice Ling Chuan who had been paying attention to him. Seeing that he had a naughty look in the last second and frowned in the next second, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Zer, what's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"

Xia Mo shook his head, looking at him with confusion in his eyes, "I was thinking, Liu Dazhi not only eats my mother's food, uses my mother's things, but also lives in my mother's house. Why does he treat me like that? Is it just because I'm a brother?"

After Xia Mo finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes, becoming more and more certain that what he had seen before was only the surface, and that there might really be an unknown truth hidden inside.

"You're fine, it's not your problem." When Ling Chuan heard the young man's self-doubt, he immediately frowned and rejected this statement.

He really wanted to reach out and smooth the little brother's frown. His little brother, he just wanted him to be happy. It didn't matter if he tickled him occasionally, as long as he was there.

So I thought, Lingchuan did it.

So when Xia Mo wanted to explain to him that he didn't think it was Ze Ge'er's problem, the man's bony fingers touched his forehead and stroked it gently a few times.

In an instant, all the words were stuck in his throat. Xia Mo only felt the place where the slightly rough fingertips touched was hot. Fortunately, someone quickly pulled his hand away.

"Really." Ling Chuan stared at Xia Mo with his dark and deep eyes and said again.

Xia Mo smiled brightly, "Well, I know, I haven't given up on myself, it's just... Oh! The porridge is boiling." However, halfway through his words, the lid of the pot began to rustle and white bubbles came out.

So he quickly stood up and took off the lid, and decided to pause the topic at the same time, "Brother Ling, let me stir-fry some vegetables first, and then we can continue the conversation after breakfast. I have something to show you later."

"Okay." Ling Chuan agreed, thinking there was no need to rush.

So one of them made the fire while the other cooked the vegetables. The vegetables were easy to cook and were ready in no time.

After breakfast, Xia Mo led Ling Chuan to the room as instructed.

When passing by the courtyard, Ling Chuan glanced at the swing under the osmanthus tree and said to Xia Mo: "Ze'er, don't do dangerous things like climbing trees if there are no one around."

Xia Mo also knew that he was worried about her, so she smiled and half teased and half assured him: "I know, Brother Ling, if you are not around in the future, I will never do such a dangerous thing."
