The smile instantly froze on Xiaoyuan’s face.
She was somewhat panicked, and also a bit at a loss, hurriedly fumbling but not knowing how to explain.
Xie Zhinuan took her hand, “Let’s talk in detail later, your arrival is just in time, I was just worrying about not being able to find a good manager!”
Xiaoyuan was very capable, and also loyal.
Using her made Xie Zhinuan feel very relieved.
Holding Xiaoyuan’s hand, she noticed that her bracelet was missing.
“…”
It was only when Xiaoyuan saw that Xie Zhinuan had noticed, that she couldn’t help but her eyes reddened, “It, it was snatched away by my mother-in-law!”
“…”
Xie Zhinuan looked at Dong Sheng, who had a guilty expression, and seemed somewhat embarrassed.
In his eyes when he looked at Xiaoyuan, there was nothing but heartache.
“We’ll talk inside our house!” Xie Zhinuan led Xiaoyuan into the room.
Xiaoyuan then burst into tears.
It turned out that Dong Sheng’s mother found out that Xiaoyuan had given all the Silver she earned to her parental family, and still had to continue giving, so she made a fuss, demanding Xiaoyuan to give the Silver she earned to the Gu Family. Xiaoyuan did not agree, nor did she refuse.
Her parents had raised her for over a decade; it was because the family was really poor, owing so much debt, and she had also promised her parents to just pay off the debt, and then she wouldn’t interfere anymore, and her parents had agreed to this as well.

But Dong Sheng’s mother was relentless, insisting on going to Xiaoyuan’s parental home to make a scene. Xiaoyuan undoubtedly refused; she was assertive enough to stop Dong Sheng’s mother. During the tussle, Dong Sheng’s mother, finding Xiaoyuan’s bracelet attractive, called over Dong Sheng’s two sisters, and they restrained Xiaoyuan and snatched it away.When Xiaoyuan tried to snatch it back, Dong Sheng’s mother slapped her. Xiaoyuan was not someone to be trifled with; she ended up grappling with Dong Sheng’s mother. By the time Dong Sheng returned, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were already embroiled in a brawl. Dong Sheng tried to pull one away, then the other, and ended up getting scratched several times himself.
Ultimately, he still sided with Xiaoyuan, but she was unwilling to stay, wanting to separate from Dong Sheng, which left him completely stunned on the spot.
Even Dong Sheng’s mother was terribly frightened.
This money-making golden egg, how could they agree to a separation, it was absolutely out of the question.
Xiaoyuan didn’t care whether they agreed or not; she went back to her parental home and called her brothers and uncles to make a scene at Dong Sheng’s place. In the end, the bracelet was retrieved but had been damaged. Holding the bracelet, Xiaoyuan cried for a long time and finally made Dong Sheng choose, either to go with her to the county town to find Xie Zhinuan, or to separate and go their separate ways. To Dong Sheng, who had liked Xiaoyuan since they were young, his immediate choice, disregarding his family’s objections, was to accompany Xiaoyuan to the county town to find Xie Zhinuan.
Xiaoyuan cried inconsolably as she recounted the events, “I really didn’t know, his mother is so fierce, just snatched it like that, and his two sisters even laid hands on me!”
Especially since she had just married into the family, still in the honeymoon phase, only to show her true colors.
She wouldn’t forgive them. She wouldn’t object if Dong Sheng wanted to be filial in the future, but if it required her to go there, she was unwilling.
Xie Zhinuan extended her hand to gently pat Xiaoyuan’s shoulder, “Things will be better in the future!”
“Master…” Xiaoyuan softly called out.
“Now that you’ve come to the county town, just stay here in peace. I’m starting a noodle house, and with you here, you can work as the manager. Let me tell you, earning Silver in this county town is much easier than in the townships, and with so many merchants coming and going, it’s even easier to make money!” Xie Zhinuan talked at length with Xiaoyuan.
She advised her to stabilize her emotions first and go look around the streets.
This era is rather stable; if one wants to do a bit of business, as long as they’re willing to work hard, it’s relatively easy.
Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously.
“Master, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down!”
Xie Zhinuan chuckled again and clarified, “This is not about letting me down, it’s for yourself. Only when you are strong enough and have confidence in what you say can you stand firm in this world, whether it’s the Gu Family or your parental home!”
