Jiang Le's face looked a little ugly. What did she mean by nourishing her mother? The mother she was talking about was not the same as the mother Gu Ye was talking about.

But he said he'd keep some for himself...

Jiang Le's eyes fell on the can of malted milk and she hesitated a little. She had tasted this stuff once a few years ago. It was sweet with a milky flavor and was indeed delicious.

Thinking of the scene when her mother gave her the money yesterday, she actually became a little hesitant.

"Take this can of malted milk home and drink it in the morning."

Jiang Le opened his mouth to look, and Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief. The more he could get back, the better.

"Well, my wife should eat some tonic food. I think the canned food is also good. There are fruits in the village now, so buying canned food is redundant. It has a long shelf life and can be saved to satisfy your cravings during the winter."

Jiang Le looked down at the can, and after hearing what Gu Ye said, he hesitated again, as if this was the truth.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then wait for me, I'll take you back."

When Jiang Le heard this, he suddenly felt a little worried. If Gu Ye took the things back and Old Lady Wang saw them, then these things would definitely be taken away by her. This was not acceptable.

"No, I'll go home with you."

Gu Ye's eyes lit up. It would be great to go home! If her mother saw these things when she got home, it would be strange if she let Jiang Le take one away.

"Well, then I'll go home with you. It's a good opportunity for me to change my clothes and go with you."

Gu Ye's words made Jiang Le feel temporarily relieved.

Jiang Le walked home carrying his things.

Li Caixiang was about to go to work, but when she heard the villagers talking about it and knew that Jiang Le was bringing good things home, she felt happy.

Finally, she was proud of herself. She returned home happily, opened the door, and waited for Jiang Le to come.

Old Mrs. Wang was walking around with her cane when she heard the villagers talking.

"Oh my, your Gu family is so generous, letting your daughter-in-law carry so many things to her parents' home."

Old Mrs. Wang thought she had misheard and hurriedly grabbed the person who was speaking.

"What do you mean? Tell me clearly."

When the man heard this and saw the old lady Wang's expression, he knew that something interesting was going to happen, so he quickly told her what he had just seen. The more old lady Wang listened, the darker her face became.

Good! Very good!

She was unwilling to pay for the dowry, but now she is more diligent than anyone else in using the money to buy good things for her parents' home.

Old Lady Wang had a gloomy face, and the man didn't ask any more questions. He quickly found an excuse to leave, but he didn't go far. He just stood there watching.

Old Mrs. Wang was anxious and was thinking about whether to ask the fourth son to intercept the things back. Those were all the Gu family's things!

Her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, but soon, she no longer had to scratch because the fourth brother came back with Jiang Le.

When Old Lady Wang saw what Jiang Le was holding in his hand, she cursed him in her heart as an ungrateful bastard.

How can such a good thing be brought to the Jiang family?

But thinking that she was already home, I couldn't let her take this thing away no matter what.

"Hey, Lele bought some nourishing food for mom! He's such a filial son. Fourth brother, hurry up and bring it home. Don't tire Jiang Le out."

Jiang Le's heart skipped a beat when he saw Old Lady Wang, and he looked even more unhappy when he heard these words.

"Mom, this is my gift for returning home."

Jiang Le didn't care and said it immediately. Old Lady Wang acted as if she didn't hear it and just directed Gu Ye to carry the things home.

"Old Four, are you deaf? Hurry up and get the things in!"

Gu Ye glanced at Jiang Le.

"It won't look good if Mom makes a fuss now. Take the things home first and bring them out later."

Jiang Le felt a little scared when she saw Old Lady Wang leaning on her leg with a crutch. If they got into an argument and she injured her leg, Old Lady Wang would dislike her even more.

She thought about it.

"Okay, carry it in."

Gu Ye's eyes lit up, he reached out to take the thing and walked into the house.

When Old Lady Wang saw Jiang Le trying to follow, she quickly reached out and pulled her.

Jiang Le wanted to struggle but didn't dare, for fear of hurting Old Lady Wang.

He glanced at Gu Ye and saw that he had indeed entered their house carrying something, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Old Mrs. Wang looked at Jiang Le with a smile.

"There's no rush to go back home now. Go to the entrance of your village and cut me a piece of tofu. We can fry it and eat it in the evening." After saying that, he gave Jiang Le two dimes.

Jiang Le was a little surprised. Why did Old Lady Wang suddenly want to take advantage of him?

But she thought that if she cut one dime out of the two dimes, she would still have one dime left.

She didn't say much and left quickly.

When Old Lady Wang saw that everyone had left, she quickly went into the house.

"Old Four, where did you put your things?"

When Gu Ye heard what his mother said, his scalp felt numb.

"Mom, that's Jiang Le's stuff."

Old Lady Wang glared at him.

"What do you mean hers? She's the daughter-in-law of our Gu family now, so these are the Gu family's things. Hurry up and take them out. I'll go and return them. This is all money!"

When Gu Ye heard that he was going to withdraw, he felt bad. That was malted milk, and he had never tasted it.

"Mom, this is not good!"

Gu Ye was a little hesitant. He couldn't afford not only not getting the money but also not getting food.

"What's wrong with that? Mom will give the money back to you. It will be yours in the future."

When Gu Ye heard the last few words, he immediately became excited. Yes, the money he got back would be his in the future.

"Mom, is your leg okay?"

Old Lady Wang grabbed the backpack and put it on her back.

"Hurry up, why are you dawdling?"

When Gu Ye saw my mother's attitude, what else could he say?

"Mom, be careful."

Gu Ye put the things into the backpack and watched his mother carry it out.

He closed the door and left quickly. He didn't want Jiang Le to come back and ask him for something and he wouldn't be able to get it.

When Jiang Le got there, the tofu had just been pressed and all the tofu made in the morning had been sold out, so he had to wait a little longer.

She walked back with a dime worth of tofu. Seeing that she bought a lot, people gave her a big spoonful of soy milk.

Jiang Le drank it all on the spot. Although there was no sugar added, it tasted good and was full of bean flavor.

She drank a bellyful of soy milk and returned with the tofu. Seeing that the yard door was closed, she wondered why the door was open in broad daylight.

But without thinking much about it, he put the things in the kitchen and came out and called out.

"Fourth brother... Fourth brother, where have you been? Let's go to my mother's house."

Jiang Le called out, but heard no response. He went to the back of the yard and looked around, even checking the toilet, but no one showed up.

She was wondering why everyone was gone after they were all at home just now.

She suddenly thought of something and hurried into the house. She opened the door and walked in, but she didn't see the things she bought. She had a bad feeling and looked everywhere, but after searching for a while, there was nothing. Not to mention canned food, even a piece of egg cake was missing.

Jiang Le's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that it was taken away by Old Lady Wang?

She hurried to the door of Old Lady Wang's room and called out a few times.

"Mom, Mom, open the door!"
