Yin Baicai walked into the courtyard of Li the bully's house and just put Li Mo down from her arms.

The kid then ran into the room with a "da da da" sound.

When they came out, they had a thick hemp rope in their hands.

He walked happily toward Yin Baicai.

Yin Baicai felt that Mo Xiaogui was like a little devil at this moment.

Watching the little brat in front of him, who barely reached his knees, tie his feet up with rope, one loop after another.

He asked curiously, "What are you doing, Mo Xiaogui?"

Li Mo said happily, "I'm going to tie Mother up so she won't run away secretly anymore."

"Then why did you tie your legs? Why not your hands? That way I can untie them myself."

Li Mo asked in confusion, "But the pheasants that Uncle caught couldn't run away once their feet were tied up."

Yin Baicai laughed heartily: "Little devil Mo, you're so funny! That's because pheasants don't have hands!"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Mo said to Yin Baicai, "Then Mother, squat down a little, and I'll tie your hands too, so you won't be able to run away."

Yin Baicai praised him, "You are truly a brilliant person!"

But he still cooperated by squatting down and letting Li Mo tie his hands as well.

Looking at the loosely tied rope, Yin Baicai teased him, "Little Mo, do you want me to tie it for you?"

"No, Mother, just don't move."

Li Mo felt at ease after tying the person up, knowing that her mother wouldn't be able to escape now.

Li Mo ran back into the house and brought Yin Baicai a small bag of snacks that his uncle had bought for him yesterday.

Seeing that Yin Baicai's hands were tied, he fed her into her mouth: "Mom, eat quickly, this is delicious."

Yin Baicai still ate a couple of bites. She had also gotten a bag of these pastries when Li the bully bought them yesterday. They were so sweet that they were cloying if you ate too much.

He even threw that bag into the kitchen.

He only ate two pieces before saying, "Little Mo, it's too sweet. I'm not eating it anymore. You can eat it yourself."

Li Mo asked curiously, "This is sweet and delicious, why don't you like it, Mother?"

Yin Baicai: "I'm so sick of it, Mo Xiaogui, untie me quickly, I want some water."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo said, "I'll go get some water for Mother." He wouldn't be fooled again; once the rope was untied, Mother would definitely run away.

In the end, Yin Baicai drank the water that Li Mo handed her.

Seeing that the person was tied up, Li Mo felt relieved and began to read his book.

Yin Baicai was dozing off amidst Li Mo's clear reading voice. He had gotten up very early today; normally, this would be his usual time to get up.

As soon as Li Zhe opened the door to Yin Baicai's yard, he saw water everywhere. This young man said it wasn't a duck, so why is there so much water on the ground?

Before long, Li Zhe had filled the large water vat at Yin Baicai's house.

When I got home, I saw Yin Baicai tied up with rope and asleep on the table.

Afraid of disturbing him, Li Mo sat quietly beside him, studying her own characters, and occasionally gesturing with her fingers on the table.

Li Zhe unconsciously lowered the sound of his footsteps.

Li Mo watched him walk over, shook his head at him, and gestured for him not to disturb the sleeping people.

Two hours later, when the sun was at its highest, Li Zhe looked at the young man sleeping on the table in the courtyard, his face flushed red from the sun.

Just as he was about to get up and wake the person, before he could even move, the person, who was scorching from the sun, had already woken up on their own.

Yawning, he said, "How long have I been asleep? Why didn't you wake me up, Mo Xiaogui?"

Li Zhe's cold voice rang out behind him: "Xiao Mo went back to her room for a nap."

Just as Yin Baicai was about to turn around, she tripped over the rope on her foot.

I stumbled and fell towards the ground, thinking: Oh no, if this falls, it might break my pretty little nose.

Li Zhe quickly grabbed his collar: "You were so sleepy that you fell to the ground in a daze."

Yin Baicai cried out, "Isn't this because that brat Mo tied me up?"

Li Zhe then realized that he hadn't untied the rope for the man, just in case he woke him up.

Once lifted up, Yin Baicai ordered Li Zhe, "Li bully, hurry up and untie the ropes for me! Your nephew tied me up, so you, as his uncle, have to take responsibility too."

Li Zhe quickly untied the rope, and Yin Baicai angrily threw it on the ground: "This damn rope almost ruined my pretty little face."

Li Zhe watched the young man's actions with amusement, thinking he was still acting like a child.

But this makes it obviously more vibrant, which is good.

I used to be so quiet and reserved that I was afraid that if I said something, I would scare him away.

Yin Baicai realized it was already past noon and knew she had to go back and stew the chicken.

He said to Li Zhe, "Li bully, remember to bring Mo Xiaogui to my house for dinner before the sun goes down. I'm going to slaughter the chicken you gave me yesterday and make a delicious meal to thank you. Remember that!"

Li Zhe nodded.

After Yin Baicai finished speaking, he left. He had to go back and prepare first, otherwise he was afraid it would be too late.

As soon as Yin Baicai got home, she put the chicken on the fire to stew, and added some spices that she had bought from a shop in town the day before.

I rinsed the rice I bought yesterday and prepared to cook it later.

Chop the vegetables, and we can just stir-fry them later.

When Li Mo woke up, he hurriedly ran to the courtyard to see if Yin Baicai was still there.

Upon seeing that the person was gone, and with the rope on the table, he cried out in despair, "Waaah... Mother is gone."

Li Zhe, who was in his study, thought something had happened to Li Mo and hurriedly came out to see: "What's wrong with Xiao Mo? Why is she crying? Did she have a nightmare?"

Li Zhe pulled Li Mo into his arms and gently coaxed him.

Li Mo nestled in his arms and pointed to the rope on the table: "Uncle—Mom is missing."

Li Zhe looked over and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll take you to him in a bit. He went home to cook and said that Xiao Mo can come to his place for dinner when she wakes up."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Zhe pitifully.

Li Zhe wiped the tears off his cheeks with his hand: "Don't cry, or I won't take you to your aunt's house for dinner later."

Li Mo pouted and said, "I want to go to my parents' house for dinner."

Li Zhe was helpless. Why was this kid so stubborn? That was his fiancé, and if he called her "mother," things would get chaotic.

Oh well, let it be. He'll understand when he's older anyway.

Li Mo struggled to get off Li Zhe, grabbed Li Zhe's hand, and tried to go out: "Uncle, let's go find Mother."

Seeing that Li Mo had said so much, Li Zhe still agreed and let him pull him out.

As soon as Li Mo stepped out the door, he was in trouble because he didn't know where his parents' home was.

Her big, watery eyes stared at Li Zhe, who had locked the door.

Li Zhe pointed towards the end of the village: "Let's go that way, we'll be there in a bit."

Soon, the uncle and nephew arrived at the door of Yin Baicai's house.

Li Mo pointed to the small courtyard in front of her: "Uncle—"

Li Zhe nodded: "Yes, this is the place. Momo, go knock on the door."

Li Mo obediently knocked on the door. Yin Baicai, who was peeling garlic in the yard, heard the sound and got up to open the door.

"Oh, Mo Xiaogui, you're here really early. Come in quickly."

Li Mo rushed over and hugged him happily: "Mom ran away again."

Yin Baicai picked him up: "It was your uncle who let me run away."

Xiao Li Mo glared at Li Zhe with her big eyes: "Uncle is bad."

Yin Baicai laughed triumphantly: "Hahaha, Mo Xiaogui is so cute, he even dares to glare at Li the bully."

Li Zhe raised an eyebrow. It was clearly this young man who wanted to leave, but he had become the scapegoat.

Yin Baicai carried Li Mo back to the courtyard and instructed Li Zhe, "Li bully, remember to close the door."
