nWang Xing’er sneered when she saw her mother’s consideration towards her sister-in-law.

n

nIf my mother-in-law had sided with me like that, I would have treated her well too. But how unfortunate! She seemed like someone I could manipulate, but she abandoned me at the most critical moment.

n

nWang Xing’er was very jealous of her sister-in-law as her biological mother shielded her.

n

nShe only received complaints from her mother about how she was insensible and should not have gone to the An Clan Village to make things difficult for her in-laws.

n

n“Xing’er, why aren’t you sitting down?” her sister-in-law asked after her mother left.

n

n“Pretentious!”

n

nWang Xing’er glared at her hatefully.

n

n“Don’t think I don’t know you. You just want to take advantage of my parents! Hmph! As long as I’m around, don’t even think about it. Everything my parents have will be mine. No matter how well you treat them, you won’t have a share of anything!” she warned her sister-in-law before returning to her seat.

n

nHer sister-in-law was speechless. She did not know what she did to offend her.

n

nPretentious? Is it wrong to be good to your parents-in-law? Am I supposed to glare at them with anger?

n

nShe shook her head. Her in-laws were good people, and her husband was an honest man. She could not understand why her sister-in-law was so overbearing.

n

nShe did not have the energy to coax her sister-in-law now. She decided to scoop herself a bowl of wild vegetable soup and fill her stomach first.

n

nWith that, she left the shed again.

n

nWang Xing’er looked around and bit her lower lip as she thought about how to escape this place and return to the An Clan Village.

n

nSince I suffered, I’ll make everybody in the An Clan Village, especially An Jiuyue, suffer too!

n

nAnd I’ll take everything valuable with me when I leave! I’ll make sure nothing will be left for my weak and useless sister-in-law!

n

n…

n

nAn Jiuyue handed the children to Qian Yiyun’s care and entered the mountains early in the morning.

n

nShe was in a good mood, but it did not last long when she looked at Qian Jiyun, who was following her.

n

nIt would be great if she could go into the mountains alone!

n

nSoon after they set off, Qian Jiyun asked cautiously as he walked beside her, “Jiuyue, will you live on the mountain forever?”

n

nAn Jiuyue was silent.

n

nWhat kind of question is that? What’s wrong with living on the mountain?

n

nOf course, she knew that living on the mountain had its cons. She would not be able to enter the mountains without Qian Yiyun around. After all, she had a few children at home. How could she leave them alone?

n

nShe had been conflicted over the past few days, wondering if she should build a house in the An Clan Village. She could leave the children in the care of the villagers temporarily and go into the mountains to gather her goods.

n

n“Why? Do you have any good suggestions?” she asked, raising her eyebrows.

n

nQian Jiyun thought for a while and replied, “It’s fine if you don’t like living in the village, but the treehouse is a little small.”
