"Xiaomeng, don't." Before she could do anything, she felt someone tugging at her sleeve.
This voice...
Tian Xiaomeng's heart skipped a beat. She looked down and saw Mrs. Liu holding her sleeve tightly, shaking her head at her with pleading eyes.
"Mother …" "You woke up." Tian Xiaomeng originally thought that her words would sound awkward, but she actually managed to shout it out smoothly.
Mrs. Liu nodded. "Put the knife away. After all, she is your milk." No matter what, if his granddaughter were to point a knife at her elders, she would be unfilial and would be chased out of the family by the clan leader.
She didn't want Xiaomeng to make such a mistake.
She had just woken up, so she could hear the conversations of the outside world.
Seeing Xiaomeng flash her knife, she was frightened out of her wits. Words gushed out from her mouth in her heart.
"Aiyo, you've woken up. You've slept for so long." Seeing Mrs. Liu holding onto Tian Xiaomeng, Mrs. Lee was no longer afraid. Tian Xiaomeng, this damned girl, was not sensible. Mrs. Liu wouldn't be a fool. With her here, Xiaomeng definitely wouldn't be able to hurt her.
Mrs. Liu struggled to get up.
Tian Xiaomeng put away the knife in her hand and went to help her up.
"Mom, Xiaomeng doesn't understand. Don't lower yourself to her level." Mrs. Liu's gentle voice sounded.
This mother is really a bun.
That was Tian Xiaomeng's only opinion of Mrs. Liu.
"Hmph, it's good that you're awake. If you wake up, quickly teach this damned girl and let her learn how to be the manager. Don't have a few silvers and know how to respect the elderly and show respect to the elderly." Mrs. Lee's words were true.
Tian Xiaomeng burst out laughing in an unkind manner.
Respectful and respectful old man, this is the idea of them loving that little bit of silver.
Mrs. Lee glared at her. "Stupid girl, don't think that I can't hit you just because your mother is awake. If you still didn't know your limits, I would still teach you a lesson."
Tian Xiaomeng curled her lips. "Your body is not as strong as it was before. You have to be able to hit it too. Don't be like last time, this stick hasn't even touched my body yet. You and my master will fall first."
If he wanted to hit her, he would need the ability to do so.
Mrs. Lee recalled what happened last time, and her face alternated between green and white.
He looked outside the house, saw that the old man had already driven away the ox-cart, and did not want to stay there any longer. He snorted coldly and left Xiaomeng's house, speeding up his steps as he returned to the Upper Tian Village.
When he left, he did not forget to walk around the kitchen of Xiaomeng's house. He was rather disappointed and found nothing but a few leftover dishes.
"That damned girl, she's quite smart. I wonder where she hid all her things." Mrs. Lee couldn't find anything, so she quickened her steps to return to the village.
Seeing that Mrs. Lee had finally left, Mrs. Liu seemed to be relieved. She pulled Xiaomeng's hand and said, "Xiaomeng, Mother has made you suffer."
"Mom, you've suffered. It's a good thing that everything is over. Our family will get better." Xiaomeng also held Mrs. Liu's hand. Mrs. Liu's hand, which had just awakened, was ice-cold.
"A daughter-in-law? It's good that you wake up. If you wake up, your family's life will be better." Grandma Chen walked over with trembling feet.
"Thank you, grandma." Mrs. Liu's voice was soft, thin and rather pleasant to hear. This was the second thought that came to Tian Xiaomeng's mind when she saw Mrs. Liu wake up.
"Mom, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? I'll cook for you. I think I'll go tell dad about this first. Dad will definitely be overjoyed." Xiaomeng's face was bright. Mrs. Liu had never seen a smile like that before. She pursed her lips and said, "Xiaomeng, you look so pretty when you smile. You have to smile more in the future."
In the past, Xiaomeng also loved to laugh. Due to the fact that the smile of a woman didn't show her teeth, she always smiled bashfully, unlike such a bright and dazzling smile.
"Is your father alright?" Mrs. Liu looked at Xiaomeng in confusion.
It wasn't her fault that she didn't know. She had really slept for too long, to the point that she didn't even know what had happened after she left the prison.
"Dad is fine, we are all fine. Mom, no one can bully us anymore, don't worry."
"Really, that Ministry Councillor Liu doesn't have one?" Mrs. Liu looked at Xiaomeng in disbelief. If Ministry Councillor Liu wanted Xiaomeng to be his concubine, she wouldn't agree, but Ministry Councillor Liu would threaten her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt sad, the more she couldn't protect her daughter, and the more she couldn't protect her husband.
"Ever since Ministry Councillor Liu put me in the prison, he fell down. I heard that it was not light. I'm guessing my fate is against Ministry Councillor Liu's, yet he didn't pursue the matter and let me and dad go. We also felt that it was strange." She had to tell them something that would easily be believed by everyone. If you clearly told everyone that she hurt Ministry Councillor Liu in the cell, someone would have to believe you to believe it. If you didn't say that you didn't believe it, perhaps other, more powerful rumors would develop.
Therefore, it was not complicated to say that she and Tian YouFa had been released from prison.
"Heaven help us, we are all fine. If something were to happen between you and your father, mother would not want to live anymore."
"Mom, what are you saying? Our family's good days have just begun."
"Right, we will definitely have a good life in the future." Mrs. Liu knew that nothing had happened to her family. The melancholy in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she regained her former spirit. It was hard to tell that she had been lying in bed for more than ten days.
"Elder, did you see my father?" Xiaomeng had been drawing some rough drafts in her room and had not paid any attention to what was happening outside. She did not know where Tian Youfeng was.
"I saw him walking around in the backyard just now. I'll go outside and ask him. I need to quickly tell him that your mother is already awake. He'll definitely be overjoyed." She went out.
The crowd had dispersed in groups of two or three, leaving only a few children playing by the side.
"Erya, have you seen your uncle?" the grandma asked.
"I see. Elder Sister Xiaomeng's grandpa drove the oxcart away and followed him." Erya was currently changing her teeth. Her voice sounded crisp and soft, extremely pleasant to the ears.
Grandma looked into the distance, but didn't see any trace of Tian YouFa. She turned around and entered the house to tell Xiaomeng, "Xiaomeng, your father went to where your grandpa is."
She had heard Erya's words just now.
His lord had driven away their new oxcart.
No wonder Mrs. Lee had left so quickly just now. She was in a hurry to stop Tian Youfeng from driving the ox-cart back.
"Mom, what do you want to drink? I'll do it." Don't worry about the oxcart for now. Her mother just woke up, and her mother's health is more important.
"Have some porridge." When Mrs. Liu heard that Tian He had sent Mrs. Lee, her face was filled with worry. "Xiaomeng, your father …"
"Mom, it's nothing, it's just that dad went to the county city yesterday and saved that family's young master's life. That family was generous and gave away a lot of precious gold and silver, probably because your grandma heard the news and wanted to take it from dad."
