Now that Yun Luo has finally agreed, it makes sense. She doesn't want to die anyway, and with such a good life, she's probably secretly happy about it.

She glared at Zhou Rong before reluctantly pulling out two taels of silver, throwing it on the ground, and angrily said, "That's all. Master Wang only gave us four taels in total. The rest will be sent after the wedding. Stay put these next few days, or you'll be in big trouble!"

After she finished speaking, she went into the house.

Yunlu didn't expect her to actually give out ten taels of silver; giving them two taels was already quite generous.

She picked up the two taels of silver from the ground, wiped off the dust, and pulled Zhou Rong inside.

"Yunluo, take off your clothes, wash them clean, and take them to Lan'er. They're too big for you," Liu Hehua said, turning back to remind her as she entered the room.

If it weren't for seeing Master Wang, would she have bought clothes for that little vixen?

Yunlu pouted, "Okay!"

After saying that, the three of them went inside.

"Xiao Luo, how could you agree to this? Don't you know who that Master Wang is? You..."

“Mother, if you don’t agree, Grandma will only beat you. If I make a fuss with her, I’ll be locked in the room like last time, waiting for Master Wang’s bridal sedan chair to come and pick me up. When that happens, I’ll be tied up and put on the sedan chair. How will I have a chance to escape?”

Zhou Rong was confused by her daughter's well-organized speech.

When did Xiao Luo become so smart?

“Mother, the wedding is in three days. I will figure out a way in these three days. Please keep the money safe, in case anything happens and we can use it urgently,” Yunluo said.

Yun Shaojie thought his sister was right. "Mother, you should listen to your sister, otherwise you'll get beaten again."

Who knows, they might not even have food to eat yet. They'll be so hungry they'll be too weak to even run away.

However, ever since the engagement was broken off, my sister seems to have become a different person.

He liked this change.

Zhou Rong nodded, there was nothing else she could do now. "By the way, Xiao Luo, where did these steamed buns come from?"

"Didn't my grandma take me to see Master Wang? I guess she was afraid I'd embarrass her by saying I hadn't eaten, so she gave me something to eat. Xiao Jie ate one, and you should eat this one too, it's a meat bun, it's so delicious."

Zhou Rong felt a pang of emotion. She felt helpless as a mother, unable to protect them. "Mother isn't hungry. You siblings can each have half..."

"Mother, it won't taste good if it gets cold. Besides, we've already eaten." Yunlu pushed it away.

Although she was a bit soft-hearted, she truly loved them.

"Second son's wife, what are you doing hiding in the house in broad daylight? You're not sick or in pain, and no family has a lazy wife like you. Why don't you come out and do some work? Do you expect an old woman like me to ask you to come every day?"

Liu Hehua took out the hidden silver and spoke in a sarcastic voice.

Yunlu rolled her eyes. She was just like a mean-spirited landlady.

"You two rest, Mother is going out to work."

"Xiao Jie, lie down properly. I'm going to help Mom with the chores." Yun Luo didn't want to stay inside; going out would allow her to find out more.

"sister……"

"Listen to me." Yun Luo whispered in his ear, "Take good care of yourself. If I happen to run away from the wedding, I'll need your help."

Yun Shaojie immediately perked up; he couldn't let his sister marry that old geezer.

Liu Hehua assigned the task of chopping firewood to the mother and daughter. Yunluo looked at the firewood piled up on half a wall in the yard and was speechless. This firewood was enough to burn for a year. Did Old Lady Liu not want them to be idle?

"Second brother's wife, don't have any improper thoughts. Xiao Jie is home alone," Liu Hehua coldly reminded her.
