I originally thought that Xu's mother could have a proper talk with them, and that they could still live together happily afterward.

Judging from Xu's mother's current state, she really doesn't want to continue like this.

It's really meaningless.

Xu's mother was behind them, struggling to pull Wang Erma into the house.

But no matter what they did, they couldn't get him up. In the end, they went to a small tavern, got a free table of drinks, and had someone help them move Wang Erma to the bed.

Once Wang Erma was on the bed, Xu's mother began to carefully wipe his cheeks again.

After finishing, Xu's mother returned to the tavern, where everyone at the two tables had already left.

Xu Qingyou was tidying up the table.

Xu's mother walked up to her, looked at her slightly swollen face, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"fine!"

Xu Qingyou finished packing and headed towards the kitchen.

Helpless, Xu's mother looked at Xu Qingyou and knew that she must be angry again.

"Hey!"

Xu's mother sighed helplessly.

Later, when Xu Qingyou had finished packing her things, her mother was still standing in the same spot.

"Qingyou, your mother has something to tell you!"

Xu's mother walked towards Xu Qingyou's direction.

"I'm hungry, I'm going to the back to get something to eat!"

Xu Qingyou didn't want to talk to her at all at this moment and walked straight towards the kitchen at the back.

Xu's mother watched Xu Qingyou's retreating figure and sighed silently.

Xu Qingyou went to the back kitchen, looked around, and decided not to cook for Wang Wanlian and the others.

So she still made some noodles by hand.

After she finished eating, Wang Wanlian came in from outside.

Why are you eating all by yourself here?!

Wang Wanlian stared at her.

How would I know you were hungry too?

Xu Qingyou didn't argue with her, but simply said this in a calm tone.

"you……"

Seeing how sharp-tongued she was, Wang Wanlian was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

But the next second, she laughed mockingly, "Xu Qingyou, what do you have to be so proud of? Everything you have will be mine in the future."

"is it?"

Xu Qingyou glanced at her indifferently and prepared to leave.

Just as I reached the door, I ran into Xu's mother who was coming in.

Since the door here can only accommodate one person at a time, Xu Qingyou stepped aside to make way for her mother to go in.

But Xu's mother kept her head down, neither going in nor moving aside.

Xu Qingyou didn't say anything and just stood there.

"Qingyou, wait a moment before leaving. I have something to tell you."

After saying this, Xu's mother walked inside.

"Go ahead and say it; I can hear you standing here."

Xu Qingyou stood in front of the door without taking more than a few steps forward.

Xu's mother first glanced at Wang Wanlian, noticing the smile on Wang Wanlian's face, before looking at Xu Qingyou.

“Qingyou… Wanlian is getting married in the spring, and we haven’t prepared her dowry yet. Even if she marries into the family, she will be ridiculed. Your dowry has been arranged for you since you were little. I was thinking… could we let Wanlian use it first, and then I will prepare it for you later. And this shop… is also for you.”

As Xu's mother spoke, Xu Qingyou's face showed no unusual expression.
