Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Seeing that he had a chance, Fang Youcai pressed on, acting even more pitifully than before: "Sister-in-law, Mother was just saying that in anger yesterday, so don't hold it against her. We've come here today specifically to take you home."

Zhang's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, second son's wife, I was blinded by greed yesterday and said the wrong thing. For the sake of Youfu, please don't hold it against this old woman. Come home with us."

Li remained silent, seemingly deep in thought about their problems.

Fang Xin realized something was wrong and wanted to go back inside to find Fang Yu, but when she turned around, she saw that Fang Yu was already at the door.

Fang Xin was about to speak when Fang Yu turned her head slightly to stop her, signaling her not to make a sound.

Fang Xin nodded, took small steps closer, and whispered, "Sister, what should we do? It seems like Mom is about to be deceived by their sweet talk."

Fang Yu naturally knew this, but her short-lived father was a thorn that could never be removed from her mother's heart.

If Madam Li were to soften her heart and take them back to the Fang family, she would still have ways to resolve the situation, so she wasn't in a hurry.

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Li remained silent with her head down. Zhang and Fang Youcai, unable to wait any longer, exchanged a glance, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

Zhang got up from the ground, tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with sorrow: "Second son's wife, please come back with us. We will definitely not mistreat you and your two daughters in the future."

Fang Xin grabbed Fang Yu's arm anxiously, her eyebrows furrowed into knots: "Sister..."

Suddenly, Li raised her head, her eyes filled with a fierce and resolute look: "You can leave now. I won't take my daughter back with you."

“Hey you…” Zhang and Fang Youcai’s expressions changed drastically. They hadn’t expected that despite their earnest efforts, Li would remain unmoved.

Fang Youcai had a bad feeling about this, and continued, "Sister-in-law, think about it, Youfu, you think..."

"Enough!" Madam Li interrupted him. "I was just thinking about Youfu. I almost couldn't even protect my daughter. I've already let him down. Don't even think about dragging the three of us, mother and daughters, into the abyss."

Fang Xin let out a heavy sigh of relief, and Fang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, their mother had not disappointed the two sisters.

Zhang's face turned red and then pale. She gritted her teeth and pointed at the mother and her two daughters: "I think you're just being shameless. Even if you don't go back to the Fang family, you still have to take out the money."

Fang Yu raised her eyes, her cold gaze sweeping over with the force of a knife: "Shut up!"

Fang Xin stepped forward, hands on her hips, and continued, "If you don't leave, I'm going to go outside and shout that my uncle owes gambling debts and is going to sell my sister!!"

"You!..." Fang Youcai's eyes bulged, and he raised his hand to teach Fang Xin a lesson.

Fang Yu stood in front and said coldly, "You dare to touch my sister? I will not only expose your shameful deeds to everyone, but I will also make you pay a heavy price for bullying us today. I will only say this once. If you don't believe me, you are welcome to try."

Her words sounded like a fantasy, but her resounding tone instantly shattered Fang Youcai's rising anger.

"you you……"

Fang Youcai stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Although he wanted to save his leg, he couldn't afford to be careless about the future of his daughter and son.

It now seems impossible to obtain the silver from the Li family.

Zhang Shi, who used to pull ears, poke foreheads, and curse, no longer dared to do so now, seeing Fang Yu's terrifying aura.

"Sister-in-law, if you are heartless, don't blame us for being ungrateful in the future!"

In the end, Fang Youcai uttered a harsh remark and dragged Zhang away.

Finally, Li choked up and murmured softly, "Youfu, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Fang Yu sighed softly and comforted her gently, "Mother, they are not worth your sadness. If they come again in the future, I will just kick them out."

Li's face was pale, devoid of any flesh: "Mother is not sad, but I am thinking of your father. He loves you so much, yet I cannot take good care of you."

She quickly changed the subject and asked, "Yu'er, did you sleep well last night? Are you hungry?"

"Even if you're not hungry, you should still eat."

Fang Xin quickly divided the cooked porridge into portions, then came over mysteriously with her hands behind her back: "Sister has something good to show you."

"what?"

Fang Xin took out her hands, clenched them into fists, and slowly turned them over, revealing two white eggs in her palms.

Fang Xin pulled Fang Yu to sit down: "Sister, we can finally eat eggs too."

Fang Yu bought these eggs yesterday. They're just ordinary eggs, but I never expected them to make Fang Xin so happy.

A dish of pickled vegetables, a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, and an egg—that's their family's breakfast.

Now all the food in the house is mixed with spiritual spring water, and no matter what we make, it will smell very fragrant.

Li handed her eggs to Fang Yu, saying, "Yu'er, you're not well, you should eat these eggs."

At the same time, Fang Xin handed over her half-peeled egg, saying, "Yes, sister, you're not well, so you can have mine too."

Fang Yu sighed and pushed the eggs back to her mother and son. "Mother, Xin'er, I'm really better now. Besides, we don't need to eat anymore, and you don't have to take care of me like before. I want to do my part for our family."

"Mother is in good health, so I'll save it for you to eat tonight."

Having lived a life of hardship, Li naturally thought long-term. What would she do when the money ran out? She didn't have a better solution at the moment.

Having grown accustomed to poverty, she seemed to have forgotten that if she used it sparingly, this amount of money could last her family of three for several years.

Fang Xin pursed her lips. She really wanted to eat eggs, but she held back and said, "I don't want to eat eggs right now. Wild vegetable porridge is much better."

Fang Yu knew their concerns, but money is earned, not saved.

She peeled the egg and brought it to Li's lips, saying, "Mother, if you don't want to eat it, then I won't eat it either. We are family. If we can't share the good times, then we'll share the bad."

"Yu'er..." Madam Li took the eggs, but was also very reluctant to eat them.

Fang Yu peeled another one and handed it to Fang Xin: "Eat up, I'll make sure you get to taste all the delicious food in Qingshan City in the future."

Fang Xin was completely focused on the eggs she hadn't had in a long time, little did she know that Fang Yu's casual remark would actually come true.

The wild vegetable porridge was almost entirely made up of wild vegetables, with very few grains of rice. Fang Yu took a small sip.

She knew that her mother was worried about the future. Some things were better left unsaid. The only way to change her mother's deep-seated idea of ​​financial hardship was to earn money as soon as possible.

Since there are wild boars on the mountain, there must be other wild animals. If we can hunt one, this winter will be much easier.

Having made up her mind, Fang Yu decided to go up the mountain. As she was preparing, Fang Xin came over, wiping her wet hands: "Sister, what are you doing?"

Fang Yu glanced at Li Shi, who was squatting on the ground washing dishes by the courtyard wall: "Xin'er, do you want to have meat every meal?"
