Her four sons and daughter were all living with the Sun family. She herself had to live with the Sun family. Why would she not have the Sun family’s best interests at heart?
She had agreed to the split at first because she wanted to keep the things for her own little family.
From the first, she had hidden the things at her parents’ house because there was someone to keep watch there, so she did not worry as much.
Although they knew that the second brother had some of his parents’ things, they did not know how much he had. Besides, the second and third brothers had many children. If they were to split their inheritance, who knows how much would be apportioned to them. So with that in mind, they hid a portion for themselves.
For many years, all was well. Whenever her parents were away, she would seize the opportunity to take a few things. Things were going well, but when they went back this new year to take some things, they realized that everything was gone.
But at the moment, the eldest Sun would not listen. All he knew was that he had nothing left.
He would never have the pleasant life he had enjoyed in the past. There would not even be enough to eat.
“Shut up. It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault, it’s all your fault… whose fault can it be besides yours?”
The two of them were fighting when Sun Mei suddenly rushed out.
“Stop it, stop it, Father. You’ll beat Mother to death…”
The family had always doted on Sun Mei. The eldest Sun was also tired from beating his wife, and Sun Mei dragged him aside. At that moment, Sun Mei saw Mo Beihan standing by the side.
She was taken aback!
She looked at the things in his hand and the basket on his back. For some reason, Sun Mei’s first thought was that Mo Beihan was visiting the Gu family and giving presents to Gu Qingyao. She did not expect Mo Beihan to give things to anyone else.
She pursed her lips tightly when she thought of how generous Mo Beihan had been to Gu Qingyao lately.
Although she was wildly jealous and desperately wished that these things belonged to her, she was clear that she must not marry Mo Beihan.
Two more nephews had turned up in his family. Even if the Mo family did not take in Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping, she would not see Mo Beihan as a potential target anymore.
His burdens were too heavy. She would only suffer with him.
Now that her family had nothing left to support them, her only choice was to marry a rich man and move to the city to enjoy life. If she remained in the countryside, she would be dragged down by her greedy and lazy brothers.
The Gus were her best targets!
Sun Mei ignored her parents and walked towards Mo Beihan. But the Sun Mei of the present had lost the arrogant look in her eyes.
“Brother Mo, are you visiting the Gu family?”
Mo Beihan was immediately on the alert. He had noticed the girl several times when she was making an enemy of Yao Yao. She was vain and arrogant.
She especially looked down on Yao Yao.
Mo Beihan was well aware of this girl’s intentions towards him. She always targeted Yao Yao because of that.
Now, the girl did not look at him with admiration anymore. Her attitude was puzzling!
Mo Beihan narrowed his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
Sun Mei immediately smiled and said carefully, “I happen to be going to the Gu house too. I’ll come with you! I want to talk to Yao Yao! I’ve been so busy during the new year that we girls haven’t seen each other for many days!”
The Gu family’s three older cousins were all at home. She must marry one of them, hopefully, Gu Jinhang or Gu Jinfeng.
They must be the richest because their families had no burdens.
