A master of metaphysics is farming.

Li couldn't believe Xiang Dayong would speak to her like that. Her eyes widened in astonishment. "You...you actually dare to defy your mother!"

Seeing that she was about to make a scene again, Xiang Dayong was quite helpless. "Mother... we have already separated our households. We will send you what you need during the New Year and other holidays. Please don't keep coming to my place. It will only make us feel annoyed when we see each other."

Xiang Dayong spoke more and more fluently, his words so clear that Xiang He thought he had misheard him.

At this moment, Xiang Yang and Xiang Yun also came over and stood together, seemingly affirming Xiang Dayong's words.

Their intentions couldn't be clearer: they didn't want anything to do with them anymore; things had escalated to the point of no return.

Xiang He was extremely gratified. From being timid and unresisting at the beginning to being outspoken now, the family members were also changing.

It's a good thing.

Just as Xiang He was about to speak, Li cried out, "You, you unfilial children! I've raised you all these years for nothing! And this is what I get in return! Have you no conscience?!"

She kept shouting, but Xiang Dayong ignored her. However, Yu Shi was quick-witted and snatched the meat from Xiang Dayong's hand. She had come for the meat, so how could she refuse it?

Xiang He was quite helpless, covering her ears with her hands, not wanting to listen. He Suian and Xing Ji were stunned, it was the first time they had ever seen such an unreasonable old man...

I don't know how long she made a fuss, until she ran out of energy and quieted down a lot.

Xiang He rolled her eyes, and as she turned, she saw two people walking along the paddy field ridge. She squinted to see who they were and pointed at them.

"Hey! Big brother's here! Come on up and watch Grandma's performance, it's really good!"

As expected, Li immediately stopped talking when she heard that it was Xiang Fusheng.

He hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed, but it was too dark to see clearly. Li cursed, "Don't try to fool me! You think I won't curse you just because Fusheng is here! You good-for-nothings! You worthless things! And you! You good-for-nothing!"

Li pointed at Su and launched a barrage of attacks, her mouth never stopping.

"And you! It was clearly Lianhua who got together with Young Master Wang, did you say something to him that made it so that Lianhua can't get married! You've learned your mother's filth too, you're not even fully grown yet and you're already going out to seduce wild men! Shameless thing!"

He Sui'an found it unbearable to listen to, so he pulled up a stool and sat down to look at the dark rice paddies. Xing Ji, following Xiang He's example, covered his ears to avoid getting his ears dirty and damaging his skills.

Su and Xiang Dayong each covered one child's ear; their filthy language was truly offensive.

Xiang He glanced at him lazily and took a few steps back.

The two people who came up from the paddy field had different expressions. One was pale and hesitant to speak, while the other was ashen-faced. "Grandma, please don't say anything more."

A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Li's fierce expression vanished instantly, replaced by a look of astonishment as she turned her head. "Fu-Fusheng, what brings you here? You're not fully recovered yet!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly went over to support Xiang Fusheng's right hand, but Xiang Fusheng avoided her, ignoring her earnest concern, and went straight to He Suian, handing over the purse in his hand.

"Sir, this is ten taels of money for medical treatment. Please give it to Mr. Zhu Nan on my behalf."

Xing Ji reached out and took it, stepping aside. He Sui'an asked with concern, "Are you feeling better? If you really can't walk, you can postpone your trip to the city for a few days."

"It's alright. It's late. I'll take you to Grandma's house first."

"it is good."

The two spoke calmly, which made it clear just how noisy Li had been earlier—the kind of noise that was incessant.

He turned and passed by Xiang He without asking anything, but looked at Li Shi calmly and said, "Grandma, it's late, go home."

"Ah, okay..."

This calm demeanor made Li's heart pound. She knew her words must have been overheard, and her eldest grandson must be furious to remain silent.

Seeing the loose skin on her face tremble slightly, Xiang He knew that she was panicking. Only her good grandson Xiang Fusheng could handle her. She made up her mind that she would definitely invite Xiang Fusheng to stay at home in the future!

Finally, the area was cleared. Xiang He exhaled a sigh of relief. "Alright, go do what you need to do. I'm going to boil some water to wash up!"

Finally, she could take a hot shower. She didn't care whether He Suian was there or not. She just wanted to clean herself up and feel comfortable!

At this moment, Xiang Dayong walked up to He Suian with a slightly restrained expression and said, "Sir, please stay for the night. The road at night is difficult to travel."

"No need, the carriage ride won't be difficult."

As soon as Xiang He stepped through the gate, she leaned back and poked her head out. "Stay for one night, sleep in Xiao Yang's room. Tomorrow I'll take you to other mountains to find herbs. Don't just keep picking herbs from one place."

Wild medicinal herbs are hard to find, and it's also difficult for them to grow, so we have to preserve some.

They can no longer climb the mountain they climbed today; they must go to another mountain to pick the fruit.

Hearing that what she said made sense, He Suian finally nodded, "Since I have nothing to do anyway, I'll stay for the night. Sorry to bother you all."

Xiang Dayong and the four Su family members were all delighted. Xiang Yang pointed into the house and said, "Sir, let me lead you into the room. You must have gotten a lot of mud and dust from your trip to the back mountain. Let your sister boil some water and wash up first."

"it is good."

He Suenen stayed, and the whole family was happy.

Putting aside the idea of ​​building a good relationship with him, I am already very honored that he is willing to stay.

Madam Su hurriedly finished the remaining chores and went to the kitchen to help Xiang He start a fire. "He'er, have you and the master become friends?"

"That's it."

"The gentleman doesn't look very old, but he is very knowledgeable. He's quite nice."

"Hmm." Xiang He paused for a moment, gripping the lid and blinking. "Mother, what are you thinking about?"

Su smiled knowingly and said, "I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just saying."

"..."

Xiang He twitched the corner of her mouth, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, "Mother, don't overthink it."

"Okay, okay, go and get your clothes ready."

"..."

Xiang He walked out of the gate and carried the chairs and stools outside back into the yard. He could still hear Li's shrill voice from afar.

On the way back, Xiang Fusheng didn't say a word, which made Li Shi anxious. Just as she was in a dilemma, she looked up and saw Xiang Laosi standing at the gate. Even in the dark night, she could see that his face was dark and gloomy.

Having been mistreated at her third brother's house, and now having to put up with their attitudes when she got back, Li's pent-up anger exploded. "What! You want to teach me a lesson?"

Xiang Lao Si would only go out for a short while, and she would sneak off to that house to cause trouble again, never letting up for a moment.

"You're making a scene every day, you've completely disgraced your family!"

He left a message, turned around, went into the house, closed the door, and escorted Xiang Fusheng back to his room. He didn't come out again, leaving the two of them staring at each other.

This is clearly giving her the cold shoulder!

Overwhelmed with grievances, Li burst into tears, repeatedly accusing them of being heartless. She explained that she had done it all for the good of the family, so that her eldest grandson could eat meat, but instead, she was met with their disgust.

She cried for a long time but no one paid any attention to her, and in the end, only sobs remained.

At this moment, a door opened, and Li was about to put on an act when she saw that it was Xiang Lianhua, which immediately made her angry.

"What are you doing out here! Go back inside!"

Xiang Lianhua approached quietly, squatted down with a mysterious expression, and asked, "Grandma, don't you think He'er has been acting strangely lately?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Yu, who was about to enter the kitchen, immediately came over and said, "Lotus, you speak."

Li, who had just looked disgusted, narrowed her eyes and whispered to Lianhua, "He'er has always been gentle, but after being carried back that night, she's become quite bold..."
