My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

The red kidney beans are soft, sticky, and sweet, and the side dishes include some wood ear mushrooms and bracken. The soup is also rich and flavorful, making it perfect for soaking rice.

Unfortunately, there were no chili peppers!

This is a shared regret for Yang Fenglan and Xu Yingying.

Seeing Xu Yingying scooping up red beans spoonful by spoonful, Yang Fenglan's eyelids trembled. "Sister, eat less, or you'll fart easily."

Xu Yingying: "Look how stingy you are. You're treating people to dinner, and you're worried about them eating a few more bites?"

The more Yang Fenglan talked, the more Xu Yingying wanted to eat.

Shen Yu ate quietly to the side, glancing at the two women every now and then.

She found it very strange: according to Zhou Jingyi, the two of them had only just met, but she felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

When she went back to the room and mentioned this to Zhou Jingyi, he thought about it for a while before he remembered the reason: "Mother said that she and that girl from the Xu family hit it off immediately and became sworn sisters. She has to call that girl her aunt."

Shen Yu: ...

The man was tall and strong, and supposedly a year younger than her. She would never call him "aunt" under any circumstances.

She would leave sooner or later, and was even somewhat impatient to leave the Zhou family, not wanting to concern herself with matters that were none of her business.

After finishing her meal, Xu Yingying didn't linger. She said goodbye to Yang Fenglan and went home.

I had just reached my front door when a shoe flew out in front of me.

"You shameless hussy, you dare to come back?" Old Mrs. Xu had been carrying water all day and hadn't seen Xu Yingying at all, so she was already seething with anger.

Xu Yingying easily dodged the flying shoe and kicked it a little further away.

With arms crossed and an indifferent expression, he asked, "Shall I leave?"

"Go ahead, if you dare, leave. But don't ever come back!"

"Okay." Xu Yingying turned and left.

Mother Xu hurriedly chased after her, calling out, "Yingying, come back! Where are you going?"

“I went to the village and told everyone that my grandma was a snob who abandoned me when I was little, and that she was petty and vindictive, taking out all the mistreatment she suffered at the Xiao family on Xu Daya. After the truth came out, she pretended to be kind and took me back, but every few days she would…”

"You slut, come back here!" After hearing Xu Yingying's words, how could Old Madam Xu let her leave?

The villagers only know that the babies were switched at birth, and only her own family knows the truth. If this loudspeaker were to go around spreading rumors, would the Xu family still want its reputation?

Xu Yingying raised the corners of her lips, "You begged me to come back yourself."

Grandma Xu: ……

She's gone against the natural order! Her unfilial granddaughter is defecating on her head!

After finishing her meal, Xu Yingying ignored the family and went straight back to her room.

When Xu's mother saw Xu's mother skipping and hopping to pick up the shoes, she felt happy and wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to show it.

I felt so suffocated.

"I...I'll go check on Yingying. I'm afraid she might do something rash." Xu's mother made an excuse and went into the house as well.

Seeing Xu Yingying lying on the bed with her legs crossed, he burst out laughing.

"You silly girl, how many times have I told you to tone it down, but you just won't listen."

“I’ve already been very restrained,” Xu Yingying said.

Xu's mother was speechless.

She did behave herself today; otherwise, her daughter would have been climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles, or even throwing dog poop on the Xu family's dining table.

Are the Xu family members angry or not?

What good is anger?

Her daughter learned skills in the Xiao family; she was eloquent and had martial arts skills. Who in this family would dare to be angry with her?

The second and third wives did vent their anger on Madam Xu.

Let her control her crazy daughter.

Madam Xu simply lowered her head and said meekly, "That child wasn't raised by me. What can I do if he doesn't have my personality?"

"Even my mother can't control her, so how can I possibly control her?"

"You like obedient girls, so why don't you send her back to the Xiao family and bring Xu Daya back?"

After a series of questions, the second and third wives, and even the married sisters-in-law who wanted to meddle in their parents' family affairs, were all speechless.
