Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Meng'er, Haoguo, Little Xuan. We should go back," Liu Juan shouted to Chen Meng'er, Chen Haoguo, and Chen Haoxuan as she walked into the house.

When Chen Meng'er heard what her mother said to them, she immediately moved from the door to the small chair in the house. She pretended not to hear anything. When Grandma Liu heard Liu Juan's words, she brought Chen Haoxuan out of the house. Chen Haoxuan was holding a bag of snacks in his hand.

"Loi Juan, we just arrived. Why are you going back all of a sudden? Look, it's almost noon. Stay and have lunch before you go back." Grandma Liu did not know what had happened in the yard just now. But when she saw her daughter's ugly expression, she was worried.

"Yeah, Mom, we just got to Grandma's house. I'm still eating Grandma's dishes at her house. I don't want to go back." Chen Haoxuan finally had the chance to come to Grandma's house to eat and drink; how could he let this opportunity slip by in front of him?

"You little brat, all you know is to eat. I'm going back now. If you don't want to go back, you can stay here." Liu Juan didn't know how to tell her mother about this. She could only choose to avoid this question. After glaring at Chen Haoxuan, she turned around and picked up her daughter who was sitting on a small chair. She turned to her eldest son, Chen Haoguo, and said, "Haoguo, are you going back with your mother, or are you going to stay at your grandmother's house and eat delicious food like your brother?"

"I'm going back with my mother and sister." Chen Haoxuan was a few years older than Chen Haoxuan. He knew that his mother's face wasn't looking good right now, and he knew that something must have happened to make his mother feel bad. At this critical moment, it was better for him to be obedient.

"Alright, let's go." As she spoke, Liu Juan turned to her mother and said, "Mother, I still have some things to do at home, so I'll go back first. I'll come back to see you next time when I'm free." As she spoke, Liu Juan carried Chen Meng'er and turned to walk out of the house. Chen Haoguo followed closely behind.

When Chen Haoxuan saw that his mother had really left him behind, he immediately panicked. At this moment, all the delicious food was thrown to the back of his mind. He ran out with her. "Mother, wait for me. I don't want any delicious food. I want to go back with you guys."

"Hey, Juan Zi, what are you doing? I only said a few words. Do you have to be so angry?" Grandpa Liu looked at his daughter who was huffing and puffing as she held her child and was about to leave, he frowned and said in a bad tone.

"Dad, I have something to do at home. I have to go back. I'll come back to see you and mom next time." Liu Juan didn't want to argue with her father in front of Chen Meng'er. She didn't want her daughter, Chen Meng'er, to have a bad shadow in her heart.

After saying that, Liu Juan didn't give her father a chance to speak. She took the three young children, pushed the bicycle, and left through the courtyard gate.

Lu Chengying, who was still worried about the money, couldn't help but secretly laugh in her heart when she saw the rapid change in the situation and Liu Juan's departing figure. That sum of money was finally saved. She didn't have to worry.

At noon, Chen Ping returned from his work in the field. As he walked back, he thought to himself that his wife and children weren't at home today. He would just make do with some random food for lunch. However, when he pushed open the courtyard door and saw his wife and children talking, he was quite surprised.

He quickened his pace and walked into the house. "Little Juan, didn't you go to your parents' house? Why?" Chen Ping remembered that he had personally seen the four of them off in the morning.

"Yes, we went and came back." Liu Juan was still in a bad mood. She raised her head and answered Chen Ping's words, then lowered her head and continued with her work.

"What's wrong? Did your sister-in-law make you angry?" Chen Ping walked in and asked. "More or less." Liu Juan really wanted to tell her husband what happened at her mother's house. However, her child was here. Those words were not suitable to be said now.

Chen Ping saw that Liu Juan did not want to say anything. He knew what Liu Juan was worried about, so he did not ask further.

Because of Liu Juan's depressed mood, everyone ate in silence. Therefore, the table was silent.

Chen Meng'er, who was silently eating the food in her bowl, was lost in her own thoughts. She was thinking about how to solve the financial crisis their family had encountered.

In her previous life, Chen Meng'er had never been worried about money. Although she was not liked by the Qu couple, they would not mistreat their only daughter. Therefore, in terms of material goods and money, Chen Meng'er had never been worried. When she grew up, Chen Meng'er was very good at using money to make money. In the end, to Chen Meng'er, this money was just the numbers on her bank account.

It had to be said that Chen Meng'er had many ways to make money in her mind. However, none of the ways to make money in her mind worked now that she took them out. The current situation. Money was not allowed. Chen Meng'er felt annoyed and helpless.

What made Chen Meng'er even more helpless was that. She had countless gold, silver, and jewelry in her space. If she took out any of them and sold them, she could solve their family's financial crisis. However, she could not do that. First, she did not know how to explain the sudden appearance of so much gold, silver, and jewelry. Second, even if she could hide it from her parents, how could she hide it from those people outside? As long as their family sold their stuff, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Moreover, she didn't want to cause a lot of trouble for her family just because of the gold, silver, and jewelry that she took out from her space.
