What did Mrs. Lee and Tian Zongmin say?

He was not a lazy person after all.

In short, he had a strange problem. It seemed that he couldn't bear to see his children doing better than them.

Anyone who buys something good will feel an itch in his heart and either want to have it or try to have it.

Xiaomeng was intoxicated by such a wondrous man's milk.

"What about your father's silver?" Mrs. Liu's heart skipped a beat and her eyelids twitched.

If Tian Fu sent him away, he probably wouldn't be able to get back the silver.

Tian Xiaomeng smiled faintly. "Mom, don't worry. Ever since dad went to jail, he's become smarter. We've already used the silver taels for him. He won't get a single cent from us."

Their families would show respect when it was time for filial piety.

But not now.

If they didn't give it to them voluntarily, it would be the same as robbing them.

Only then did Mrs. Liu's heart calm down.

"Xiaomeng, there are some eggs hidden under your mother's bed. Did your father tell you?" Mrs. Liu said to Xiaomeng as she thought of something.

"Yes." Xiaomeng told Mrs. Liu to get up and go to work.

After lying down for so many days, Mrs. Liu's back was about to swell from the sleep.

If she didn't wake up now, when the weather got hot, the flesh on her back would probably rot.

Xiaomeng supported Mrs. Liu as they slowly moved around the room. Grandma went to help Xiaomeng cook the porridge.

Mrs. Liu took a few steps forward and felt that all the blood in her body was flowing smoothly.

He sat at the head of the bed, panting slightly as he rested for a moment.

Not long after, Tian You walked in dejectedly. Seeing that his grandma was about to enter the room with a bowl of porridge, he couldn't help but ask, "Grandmother, I'm afraid Xiaomeng's mother won't be able to drink this thick porridge."

The grandma turned around with a smile. "Yes, I did. Your wife is already awake. Xiaomeng is currently in her room accompanying her. You should quickly go in and take a look."

When Tian Youfeng heard this, his head rumbled.

Ye Zichen walked quickly towards his room. Xiaomeng was helping Mrs. Liu out when Mrs. Liu nearly knocked into Tian Youfeng's arms at the door.

Tian YouFa stared fixedly at Mrs. Liu who stood silently in front of him. His eyes moistened as the corner of his mouth widened into a smile: "Her mother, are you awake?"

"Sorry for making you and Xiaomeng worry." Mrs. Liu's eyes were also moist.

"It's good that you're awake. It's good that you're awake." Tian Youfeng was a farmer after all, so he couldn't bear to hug his wife and comfort her. Seeing that Mrs. Liu was fine, he felt as if a big rock had fallen from his heart. "Sofia, let me help your mother. You should go take a rest." Tian Youfeng said to Tian Xiaomeng behind him.

Tian Xiaomeng nodded as she looked at her parents. At this moment, she felt that she should give them some space to be alone. With her here, it was impossible for them to act intimately in front of her.

"I'm going out for a walk."

"I'm going to take a look at the backyard as well. If there's a wife, then I'll have some porridge to cool down first before I drink it."

Seeing the two of them rushing out, Mrs. Liu and Tian You felt a little embarrassed.

Tian Xiaomeng went out and looked at the sky. The sun had not set yet.

He looked at the place where he had left the ox-cart. It was empty.

She thought about how she had to go to the city tomorrow. It was impossible without an oxcart, so she had to go and get it back.

Thinking of this, she walked towards the Upper Tian Village.

When they were almost to the Upper Tian Village, Upper Tian Village saw Lili coming over, and all of them went up to greet her, "It's Xiaomeng."

Tian Xiaomeng's eyes darkened.

So many people, so passionate.

Were they waiting for her to arrive so that they could watch the show?

"Xiaomeng, why are you here? Has your father just returned?" An uncle laughed.

Tian Youfeng did not get any advantage from his parents just now.

Tian Xiaomeng only smiled but didn't say anything.

Mrs. Lee and Tian Zongmin brought the car into their empty woodshed and locked it up. Then, Hun Zi got off and placed it outside the woodshed.

"Are you going to go to the county city tomorrow?" Tian Zongmin took a puff of smoke and said in high spirits.

"Go on, why not?" Mrs. Lee nodded. "You have a way. Go ahead and drive the oxcart over. I think we can also use this method to chat with them in the future."

Mrs. Lee and Tian Zongmin were guarding outside the woodshed.

"I'm afraid he'll return it tomorrow. We can't let him rush back there."

"No matter who it is, I will scold him back and buy an ox cart for my parents. Is that still not okay?"

"Milk, so the ox-cart is with us. Where did that damn ox-cart go?" Tian Xiaomeng suddenly appeared in front of Mrs. Lee.

The two of them turned around and saw Tian Xiaomeng standing at the door. They had an uncomfortable look on their faces as they said, "Xiaomeng, your mother just woke up. Why are you here instead of accompanying her?"

Mrs. Liu's woman had awoken at the right time.

Mrs. Liu's woman was easier to deal with than Xiaomeng.

"Grandpa, milk." Tian Xiaomeng did not answer, but her voice had become much softer, "Master, milk, that ox-cart was bought by a rich family in the city, and my father's illness was not something that could be cured in a day or two, so in order to make it convenient for father to enter the city, we spent money on an ox-cart to reward him. That master's life was in danger, but his condition is unstable, I'm afraid that he will have to go the day after tomorrow. Tian Xiaomeng spoke a lot without thinking. She just wanted to reason with Mrs. Lee and the others. If they couldn't get along this path, then they couldn't blame her for acting so vulgarly.

Mrs. Lee narrowed her eyes.

Tian Zongliang also narrowed his eyes.

Tian Xiaomeng had never said so much in her memory, nor had she.

Tian Zongmin inhaled some smoke and said, "How much money did your dad receive for the clinic yesterday? Your family has a chicken coop and you need to raise a chicken. Also, you must have received a lot of silver from this ox-cart."

Xiaomeng's last sentence had reached deep into his heart.

He said that if there were rewards, he could also give it to them as a form of filial piety.

In his opinion, these words were the best.

"Master, actually, it's not much. It's only a few taels of silver. However, I think that if the young master of that family were to have a good life, the reward would probably not be too little."

Mrs. Lee harrumphed, "So what if I reward you with more silver? With you in the front, and that bitch your mother in the back, it would be strange for you to have the silver to show us respect. Alright, so much nonsense, we have to go back quickly. But, we can't bring the ox-cart back."

The entrance was already filled with villagers who had come to see the commotion.

Even Xiaomeng's aunts and uncles went into the cave.

One by one, their eyes were wide open, wanting to see if Xiaomeng could bring the ox-cart back.

Tian Xiaomeng's eyes darkened.

This Mrs. Lee really didn't give in. She had already said that, and didn't have the slightest intention of giving in.

If she didn't give in, then she could only use violence.

There was no other way.

With Mrs. Lee's current appearance, she was not worthy enough to buy things for her. If she was like a grandmother one day, they could talk about it later.
