No one knew what Mu Xue was thinking, but Old Lady Mu was very realistic. She quickly realized that Tang Moling would not be so rich in the future. When one thought about it, it made sense. If it were her, she wouldn’t be willing to hand over such a huge inheritance to her maternal grandson either.

  They were all grandsons, but the addition of the word ‘maternal’ made him an outsider.

  If he was no longer the heir of a wealthy family, then he might not be a good match for Xiao Xue.

  Everyone in the village knew how capable Tang Moling was. After all, Old Lady Mu had bragged a lot about him. However, they hadn’t expected him to lose the position of the heir just like that.

  Everyone was discussing amongst themselves. Old Lady Mu looked at the calm Tang Moling and suddenly felt that his aura seemed to have weakened.

  In that case, there was no need for her to continue pestering him.

  Old Lady Mu grabbed Mu Xue’s hand. “Let’s go, Xiao Xue.”

  Tang Moling, who had lost his status as the heir, was immediately abandoned by Old Lady Mu. She quickly determined that Xiao Xue would definitely find someone better.

  Old Lady Mu’s heart skipped a beat. She wondered how old Tang Moling’s uncle was. If he was younger, perhaps even though things hadn’t worked out with Tang Moling, they could work out with his uncle?

  Old Lady Mu pondered it for a moment before asking Mu Xue, “Xiao Xue, did Tang Moling ever mention his uncle?”

  “I’ve heard him mention him before, but he didn’t say much. I don’t know much about him.” Mu Xue was a little distracted.

  “If only we could meet him.” Old Lady Mu was a little anxious. She wanted to ask around but she held herself back.

  Even if she didn’t look for him, Xiao Xue was capable enough to meet someone herself. She might be able to meet someone soon or save someone, just like she had saved Tang Moling. Besides, she would definitely meet someone even wealthier! Old Lady Mu decided to wait for now.

  Mu Jingzhe didn’t know what Old Lady Mu and Mu Xue were thinking, but she could tell that after Tang Moling had said that he had lost his heir position, their attitudes seemed to have changed.

  However, she didn’t care about that. After they left, she took a deep breath and got back to work. She didn’t care about the people outside, nor did she pay attention to Tang Moling.

  Tang Moling hadn’t expected his appearance to cause Mu Jingzhe so much trouble. He was filled with regret as he hurriedly chased after her. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know this would happen…”

  “I told you so. You didn’t give up. Now, it’s been confirmed. Is that enough?”

  \r \r \r

  Mu Jingzhe turned around. “I won’t say anything else. Just remember that if you come looking for me again in the future, I won’t be polite. I’ll beat you up every time you come.”

  “I…” Tang Moling was about to speak when Shao Dong interrupted him. “Uncle Tang, please leave my house immediately.”

  Shao Dong was followed by Shao Xi and the others, who were huffing and puffing with anger. Even Xiao Wu, who had followed his older brothers to sit in on a first-grade class, ran back with them.

  “Shao Dong, I didn’t mean for this to happen. I didn’t know things would turn out like this…”

  Shao Dong brought along his siblings and aggressively walked up to Tang Moling, interrupting him. “Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, Uncle Tang, you’ve already caused my mother a lot of trouble. Now that you know this, you should leave quickly.”

  Tang Moling was forced to leave the Shao Residence. When he returned to the car, he was extremely vexed.

  Although he was reluctant, Tang Moling had no choice but to leave. On the way back, he bumped into Shao Qiyang, who had just gotten off work. Shao Qiyang was still unaware of what had happened in the village. When he saw Tang Moling’s car, he gave way and didn’t pay attention to it.

  When he returned and heard the gossip circulating in the village, Shao Qiyang was filled with regret. He should have stopped Tang Moling and beaten him up!

  Shao Qiyang didn’t understand why Tang Moling and Mu Xue had suddenly broken off the engagement. He hadn’t expected that he would switch and target Mu Jingzhe instead. He was furious.

  After feeling angry, he became even more anxious. Ji Buwang was enough to make him wary. In the end, one man wasn’t enough. Tang Moling had also jumped out of nowhere. Shao Qiyang didn’t know why Tang Moling wanted to force his way in even though he was obviously Mu Xue’s man.

  When he found out that Old Lady Mu had scolded her so badly, he was so angry that he couldn’t fall asleep.

  After tossing and turning until midnight, Shao Qiyang couldn’t help but get up. He was prepared to do something to teach foul-mouthed Old Lady Mu a lesson.

  In the end, he sneaked out of the door, only to bump into Shao Xi and Shao Nan.

  “Where are you kids going?”

  “To the bathroom. What about you, Uncle?”

  “Me too. Number 2. You kids should go back and rest first.”

  “Okay.”

  Half an hour later, the three of them bumped into each other outside the Mu Residence again. They looked at each other, and the air was silent momentarily. Finally, Shao Qiyang held back his discomfort and said, “Tell me, what are you guys up to?”

  This time… it wasn’t easy to lie. Shao Xi looked at Shao Nan. “We’re not up to much. We just wanted to free some things that lost their freedom before.”

  “Yes,” Shao Nan said with emphasis. “We won’t hurt anyone. It’s just a small kind of revenge.” He was paying attention to these things now. Originally, he had thought of even better ideas and shared them with Shao Xi, but he didn’t plan to take any action.

  In the end, Shao Qiyang worked with Shao Xi and Shao Nan to release the wild hare and pheasant that Old Lady Mu had praised so highly.

  The pheasant had been caught by Old Lady Mu when she’d gone up the mountain and set a trap. She planned to sell it if she could or eat it herself. The wild hare had also been caught previously. The pheasant and wild hare were both very precious to her.

  However, Shao Qiyang and Shao Xi secretly let them go that night. Shao Nan took care of the Mu Family’s dog and prevented it from barking.

  Shao Qiyang, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan, whose evil mission had been accomplished, went back quietly. They only whispered a few words when they got home.

  “Don’t be mischievous again, okay?”

  “Uncle, you’re also mischievous even though you’re so much older than us.”

  Shao Qiyang: “Stop fooling around and go back to sleep.”

  Shao Xi and Shao Nan returned to their room and lay down softly. Just as they heaved a sigh of relief, they heard Shao Dong’s voice. “Did you vent your anger?”

  Shao Xi and Shao Nan jumped in fright and sat up abruptly. “Big Brother!”

  “Be quiet. Xiao Wu is still asleep.” Shao Dong’s voice was extremely calm.

  “Brother, you knew that we went out?” Shao Xi asked in embarrassment. They had thought that they had been careful enough.

  “I noticed that something was amiss last night before we went to bed,” Shao Dong said calmly. He had seen them exchange knowing looks last night.

  Besides, not only did he know that they had gone out, but he had also followed them out. Initially, he’d wanted to keep an eye out for the two of them, but he hadn’t expected Young Uncle to go as well.

  After Shao Dong finished speaking, Shao Xi and Shao Nan felt embarrassed and a little helpless. Why couldn’t they escape Big Brother’s eyes no matter what?

  Big Brother was really amazing.

  When dawn broke, Shao Xi and Shao Nan finally realized that Shao Dong was more amazing than they had imagined.

  Old Lady Mu woke up early in the morning, only to see that the pheasant and wild hare were gone. She was so furious that she nearly went crazy. Afraid that she had lost other things too, she quickly went to check.

  The pig at home was fine. However, when Old Lady Mu took a look at it, she was frightened out of her wits. The pig was still there, but it had changed beyond recognition. Its mouth had been painted blood red, as though it had been ripped open and sewn back together.

  Old Lady Mu couldn’t help but recall how she had scolded Mu Jingzhe yesterday. This was a blatant warning. This was a warning for her to shut up, or she would end up like this.

  Old Lady Mu was so angry that she couldn’t catch her breath. “Mu Jingzhe. It must be Mu Jingzhe. The wild hare, the pheasant, and the pig. How could she do this? I…”

  Old Lady Mu was about to curse Mu Jingzhe out of habit, but when she saw the pig, she suddenly stopped and changed her words. “What kind of sin have I committed?”
