The next day

Unexpectedly, early in the morning, Mo Yaner admitted her mistake in front of Madam Xie and Xuexue and also disclosed that Auntie Sun had promised her five taels of silver to win her over once the plan succeeded.

Madam Xie’s eyes widened in disbelief and she said, “I never would have thought that Seductress Fox would be so shrewd, sending you to cause trouble and drive a wedge between us mother and daughter. That woman’s thoughts are too malicious. Yaner, you must never trust them again, I am your birth mother, would I deceive you?”

Mo Yaner looked shame-faced, “Mother, after this incident, I know who truly cares for me and who is using me.”

Last night, Old Lady Mo had turned her back on them mercilessly. She showed not a shred of compassion, knowing full well they were homeless, yet at dusk, she kicked them out of the house, nearly freezing to death in the cold night. The painful lesson was right in front of her. Even if she didn’t consider her own well-being, her two children were still young and couldn’t endure such torment anymore. Mo Yaner wasn’t foolish; she understood this very well.

Unlike the astonished Madam Xie, Xuexue remained much calmer. After all, she learned the truth yesterday during Aunt Sun’s secret meeting with Butcher Yu in the town. She had overheard everything from outside the window. Plus, a day’s time was enough for her to digest the matter. Initially, she was very angry, but then she thought about it: Mo Yaner had made mistakes only because she was desperate to help her husband pay off his gambling debts. With this in mind, her anger subsided considerably.

Xuexue, “Big sister, no matter how anxious you get, you can’t rush the debt of brother-in-law. Five taels of silver is not a small amount.”

To Xuexue, five taels of silver was not a big issue. The money she had plundered from Auntie Sun amounted to several dozen silver taels, not to mention the piles of goldware and jewelry valued at several hundred taels at the very least. If that were not the case, Auntie Sun wouldn’t have been so restless over them.

However, Xuexue was afraid that Li Feng wouldn’t abandon his gambling habit. If she helped him pay off his debts only for him to gamble again, it would be like pouring water into a bottomless pit. Ultimately, the ones to suffer would still be her big sister and her two children.

Therefore, Xuexue decided to observe Li Feng for a while before she was willing to take out the silver to help them repay the debts.

“Xuexue, tell the truth to your big sister, are Aunt Sun’s jewelry really not with you?” Mo Yaner had a baffled expression. She had gotten nothing over the past few days; was she tricked by Aunt Sun, or was it Xuexue?

“If you don’t believe what I say, do you also not believe mother?” Xuexue asked with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Madam Xie about these matters. After all, she was just an ordinary country woman. If she knew her daughter had a large sum of money, especially stolen from Aunt Sun, it would scare her to death.

“Yes, yes, Yaner, all this talk of gold and silver jewelry, there’s nothing to it. It’s all fabricated by that Seductress Fox, Aunt Sun, to drive a wedge between us, mother and daughter. You mustn’t trust outsiders over your own mother!” Madam Xie also chimed in.

“Is that so?”

“Yes! When has Mother ever lied to you?”

After some thought, Mo Yaner realized that Madam Xie indeed had never deceived her from childhood to present, so she believed it.

Since the market day was coming in a few days and seasonings had been purchased the previous day, Xuexue brought out several big buckets of dried loaches, ready for the second round of processing before taking them to market.

Mo Yaner was taken aback, “Xuexue, when did you catch so many loaches?”

“These past few days! Big Bull and I went digging for them.”

“How come I didn’t know about it.”

“Of course, you didn’t know. All your attention was on Mother, pressing her every day for the whereabouts of Aunt Sun’s jewelry,” Xuexue couldn’t help teasing her.
