“She deserves it, helping others to bully us,” Xuexue said, fuming.

“She was also deceived. Before she was married, she treated you so well, Xuexue. Please don’t be mad at your older sister, okay?” Madam Xie was trying to placate both sides, fearing her daughters would become enemies over her.
Having suffered through hardships, Xuexue understood her adoptive mother’s concerns all too well. Not wanting to trouble her, she said, “Mother, I understand.”
Madam Xie and her daughter worked until evening, yet they still hadn’t finished killing all the loaches. Madam Xie found it strange as it didn’t seem like Xuexue had brought back that many loaches to start with; it felt as if the more they killed, the more there seemed to be.
She peered into the bucket and said, “Xuexue, why does it feel like the loaches are multiplying?”
Xuexue’s heart skipped a beat, realizing her adoptive mother was too observant. Next time she took something from the space, she would have to do it bit by bit to avoid suspicion. Yet she kept a straight face and mockingly chuckled, “Multiplying? I wish! Unfortunately, our bucket isn’t the Cornucopia from the dramas. Such good fortune doesn’t come our way!”
Madam Xie thought about it and decided maybe she was just overthinking.
“Mother, are you tired?”
“Yes, a little,” Madam Xie nodded.
She was mainly worried about her eldest daughter. She had been hoodwinked by Mo Xiaoqiang and Auntie Sun and believed everything they said. Madam Xie feared that Mo Yaner would be harmed by them, which is why she was often distracted.
“If you’re tired, go rest in the room for a while. There’s nothing much to do at home anyway, I’ll call you for dinner.”
“Alright!” Madam Xie also felt a bit dazed and, thus, stood up to walk back into the house.
Xuexue washed her hands and pulled the dazed-looking Big Bull to her side: “Big Bull, let’s go. Accompany me to cook in the kitchen.”
“Oh!” Big Bull, having been in a daze for so long, seemed to have come back to his senses somewhat, not as terrified anymore.
Since they had divided the household not long ago and had no livestock to feed, it saved them a lot of effort. All that was needed was to cook rice and stir-fry some vegetables.
Before Mo Yaner came, their family usually ate plain white rice. Xuexue was annoyed that her older sister always said they ate so well because they stole Auntie Sun’s silver. Though the accusation was partially true, Auntie Sun was far from kind; not only did she frame Xuexue, but in the past life, she even caused the death of Xuexue’s adoptive mother.
Xuexue simply boiled a pot of sweet potatoes, stir-fried some wild vegetables, and braised a large plate of loaches.
Chuner’s eyes sparkled as she eyed the loaches on the table, saliva nearly dribbling out, “Sister, you can cook too! It looks even tastier than what mother makes.”
Indeed, Xuexue had hired a famous chef to please the Crown Prince in her previous life and had diligently learned cooking skills for a while, so she couldn’t have been that bad at it.
Mo Yaner looked coldly at the plate of braised loaches and remarked, “You’re really living the good life here.”
Just as Xuexue was bringing in a basin of sweet potatoes, she heard this and said, “What’s the matter? Does my older sister want to take it to the Mo family again?”
Upon hearing this, Chuner quickly shielded the plate of braised loaches in front of her with her hand and pouted, saying unhappily, “Don’t take it away, Older Sister is a bad person; Chuner doesn’t like you.”
Last night, just when the chicken was almost within reach, Mo Yaner had snatched it all away; Chuner had been upset about it all night long.
Seeing both her younger sisters resentful towards her, Mo Yaner’s face darkened. Looking at Chuner, she chastised, “Chuner, when your elder sister takes it to the Mo family, it’s for father and my second mother, and my grandparents. It’s showing filial piety to the elders, which is the right thing to do.”
