"My uncle wouldn't give us any food, saying that we lose money and don't deserve to eat. Grandpa, what is a lose money?"

The little guy's words made all the men in Peijia Village, including Pei Mingzhi, blush.

Although every family in the village favors boys over girls, it is rare to see a family like Pei Guoping's, who treat their granddaughter and daughter-in-law as completely non-human beings.

Seeing the mother and daughter, who were equally thin and would fall down at the slightest breeze, Pei Mingzhi had long forgotten the original purpose of coming here.

"Guochao, are you okay? Your head is bleeding. Why don't you go see Old Wei?"

"I?"

Mo Yan didn't know who Old Wei was, but she could see the sympathy in the eyes of the people in front of her.

She felt awkward. She was the Queen of Thunderstorms in the apocalypse. When was it her turn to be looked at like that?

"Guochao's family, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're a mother now. If for nothing else, just for Niuniu, you have to stand up for yourself. Take the fact that the youngest brother and your parents-in-law always beat you. You said that if you had resisted once, the villagers wouldn't have been blind. Don't you think they would have helped you at all? You're good. They beat you and scolded you, but you didn't resist at all. Now Guochao is gone again. You say you--ah, forget it, there's no point saying these things now. While your parents-in-law are not back yet, you should quickly take Niuniu to Old Wei to get some medicine."

Pei Mingzhi simply didn't even enter the Pei family's yard. He believed that children would not lie. Since Niu Niu said that Pei Laoya was sleeping, he must have been tired after beating someone, so he went into the house to rest.

As for what Aunt Wang said about Mo Yan being crazy and crushing Pei Laoya's legs, not to mention Pei Mingzhi, none of the young and strong people who came with her believed it. They all thought that Aunt Wang was probably exaggerating.

"I--"

Just as Mo Yan was about to speak, the little cub in her arms interrupted her with a crisp voice, "Grandpa, my mother has no money."

"No need to pay, you two can just go find Old Wei and tell him I said so, and put it on the village account."

"Thank you, clan grandfather. You are the best." The little guy had a sallow and thin face and said this with a flattering smile, which made everyone feel sad and speechless again.

What a sin! Even if Niuniu was just a little girl, now that Guochao had died, Niuniu was Guochao's only blood. The two old men of the Pei family were so heartless and cruel that they wanted to cut off Guochao's only blood?

"Mom, let's go to Grandpa Wei's place!"

Mo Yan felt the little cub trying hard to pull her sleeve as a hint.

All right! I thought we were going to have a new fight, but since we can’t have one for a while, we’ll just listen to the cub.

It just so happened that she also wanted to see more and understand more about the world she lives in now.

"No, village chief, this——"

Aunt Wang and the others were dumbfounded. Wasn't this wrong? They went to call the village chief, not to ask him to ask Mo Yan to see his injury!

No, even if we need to treat the injury now, shouldn’t we send the youngest child of the Pei family to Old Wei right away?

It looks like his legs are broken into more than one or two pieces!

As a result, Aunt Wang was unable to finish her words and received an angry glare from Pei Mingzhi. "Alright, I know you guys are usually on good terms with Old Lady Pei, but Little Lady Yan has never done anything wrong to you. We are all women, and you are half elders. You just watched Old Lady Pei beat Little Lady Yan like that? If you really beat Little Lady Yan to death, will Old Lady Pei give you half a bag of food or something?"

"Mom, didn't I tell you that Pei Laoyao is a badass? Why are you still speaking in his favor? Look at what he did to sister-in-law Mo Yan? Sister-in-law, hurry up and take Niuniu to Uncle Wei's house."

Aunt Wang's son was one of the young men who had followed the village chief. Seeing that his mother was still confused at this time, he became angry, ran out of the crowd, grabbed Aunt Wang, and then urged Mo Yan with an apologetic look on his face.

"Oh, then I'll go!" Mo Yan had no psychological burden at all. She carried the cub and walked towards the back of the house. The direction the cub secretly pointed to her was behind the house, facing the mountains.

"Okay, everyone else can go back to the field." Pei Mingzhi saw that the mother and daughter had already gone to Old Wei's place, so he didn't plan to stay any longer and wasted time. He waved his hand and was about to go back to work in the field.

"Village chief, hey, boss, my son..." Aunt Wang saw the village chief and his men leave, including her own husband and son. They all looked at her with disappointment and dissatisfaction, and left without looking back. Aunt Wang was both furious and speechless.

The other two daughters-in-law and the old woman who had gone with her to report the news, seeing that Aunt Wang was in such a bad state, wisely followed the crowd and left.

Aunt Wang was unwilling to accept this. She didn't believe that Pei Laoyao was sleeping in the house. She saw with her own eyes that girl Mo Yan went crazy and stomped on Pei Laoyao's leg so hard that it broke. Why didn't the village chief and the others believe it?

We're already outside the Pei family compound, but they don't even bother to go in and take a look. No, maybe the youngest Pei has already died in the house.

Aunt Wang hesitated again and again, but couldn't resist her curiosity and stepped into the Pei family's courtyard.

As soon as I walked in, I didn't even need to go forward. I saw a person lying on the steps not far away. Wasn't it Pei Laoya? He didn't even move from where he was lying.

Aunt Wang hurried forward, squatted down, and gently put her finger under Pei Laoya's nose. He was still breathing, so he was not dead!

Fortunately! Fortunately! Mo Yan didn't go crazy enough to kill her brother-in-law!

Thinking that no one, including Pei Mingzhi, believed her just now, Aunt Wang stood up angrily and was about to walk out. She wanted to call people back and let everyone see that she was not lying. It was really that woman Mo Yan who was crazy and beat her brother-in-law like this.

As a result, after taking just two steps, she suddenly found that the door of the house where Old Lady Pei lived was wide open, and Aunt Wang stopped subconsciously.

Looking around the entire yard, there was no one there except the unconscious youngest son of the Pei family.

Thinking of Pei Guochao, who had already died in the Pei family, before his death, he had received allowances and wages sent home every month, not to mention that after the news of his death came, I heard that the army gave him a full 5,000 yuan in pension!

This money must be in the hands of Old Lady Pei.

Now there was no one in the Pei family and the door was open. Instigated by the devil in her heart, Aunt Wang's feet somehow turned into the room whose lock Mo Yan had pulled off.

"Mom, over there!"

Pei Dongdong actually didn’t remember the way very well. After all, in her previous life, she only lived in the village until she was less than five years old.

Then she was taken to the city by her father Pei Guochao, who was said to have died. Therefore, she was not familiar with the roads in the village. She only knew that the villager, Old Wei, lived in a house at the foot of the mountain.
