Grandma stopped moving immediately.

Nanxi shrugged: "I already know."

After seeing how the meat was made, she became curious about what that meat actually was.

Grandma lowered her eyes, her rough, weathered hands touching her belly.

Sure enough, this meal wasn't for nothing.

She should have known long ago that the little girl named Nanxi who was sent over was not as stupid as rumored; on the contrary, she was much smarter.

But... she was just too hungry.

Grandma slowly spoke: "What do you want to know? I'll tell you what I should tell you."

This is the effect that Nanxi wanted.

She laughed. "Grandma, I know you're worried about me, that's why you reminded me about the meat yesterday. I know some things will happen today, but I won't make things difficult for you. I just want to know who I am."

The true identity.

This gave her a clue, allowing her to know which direction to take next.

After all, the daytime is still quite long today...

Grandma looked closely at Nanxi's face. Although there was a hint of cunning in her bright eyes, she could also see a trace of sincerity in them.

Yes, although she took the initiative to remind Nanxi last night, the reason was that before that, Nanxi would tell her what kind of white porridge she could eat.

Then there's today. If Nanxi's goal is really clear, she can use that pie as a bargaining chip, and give it to herself after she's said everything she needs to say.

Instead of waiting until after you've finished eating the biscuit to ask the question you want to know.

Even if I don't say anything, what can I do?

Grandma's thoughts were incredibly complex. She closed her eyes for a long time, and when she opened them again, she seemed to have made up her mind: "This is all because of their sins!"

"Nanxi, your identity is not that of an adopted daughter, but a wife who was bought."

A wife bought back?

Nanxi wasn't surprised by the result, but she was still somewhat puzzled. The image of her younger brother with the watermelon head and shark teeth slowly surfaced in her mind...

[Wife? Who will she marry? Her younger brother?]

[Don't laugh challenge? Okay, then I lose.]

Is there someone else in the family?

[Oh right, that's strange. It's a family, yet we haven't seen a single family photo. Is that normal?]

[Okay, okay, Sister Nan, this is truly a husband who fell from the sky. So, is it because your son is coming home tonight that you've made so many preparations?]

[For an ordinary day, this kind of attire might seem a bit too formal, but for a wedding, isn't it a bit too plain...?]

The comments section immediately erupted with analysis.

Nanxi saw that after her grandmother finished speaking, she seemed to have used up all her strength, and when she closed her eyes again, her face was filled with a few words.

—Nanxi, I don't owe you anything anymore.

"puff:"

Nanxi couldn't help but laugh and stopped making things difficult for the old lady who was always hungry.

Looking at the old woman, she thought of her adoptive father.

She walked towards the door, but stopped before leaving, adding, "I'll bring you dinner again tonight."

"Click."

With a crisp click, the door slammed shut.

The old lady, who had kept her eyes tightly closed, raised them again and looked at the empty doorway. After a long while, she sighed softly.

the other side.

Nanxi came to the door again, and just as she peeked out through the peephole, she saw not the scene in the corridor, but a pitch-black eyeball staring straight at her.

The mother's voice sounded eerie and terrifying through the door, as if she were scratching at the door with her fingernails.

"What are you looking at?"

Holy crap!

【!!!!】

This really startled me.

[I was secretly watching a live stream during class, and when those dark eyes came out of the school, they startled me so much I jumped up. The teacher told me I wanted to go outside and jump during PE class.]

Did this mother chop things up so quickly?

In the live broadcast footage.

The mother's face stiffened, and she took a step back. Only through the peephole could her full face be seen. She picked up the crowbar, pointed the thin end directly at the peephole, and stabbed it hard!

"Bang!"

It looked like it was going to poke into a person's eye, but it only shattered the glass of a cat's eye with tremendous force.

When Mom opened the door, she saw that the corridor had been cleaned up. Her face was covered in blood beads, and she stared blankly at Nanxi with her dark eyes.

"Nanxi, what are you doing here? What did you see here just now?"

The mother, who was always worried and fearful, exuded a dangerous aura at this moment, as if Nanxi would be killed on the spot if she dared to say anything wrong.

The air around us had cooled down, and only a chilly wind was blowing.

Mom looked up and saw Nanxi smiling sweetly: "I was a little hungry, and I was wondering if Mom had run into trouble buying meat. I had just arrived at the door when I ran into you."

So, she was hungry.

The mother's expression relaxed considerably. She looked down and saw a bag full of meat chunks that had already been packed up on the ground.

She immediately picked up the bag from the ground, smiled kindly again, and, like an ordinary mother, hurried along: "So you were hungry? Wait for me, I'll go wash up and then I'll cook for you right away! It's all my fault, I ate your meat last night, that's why you didn't eat enough... You must be starving!"

Nanxi tilted her head upon hearing this: "Thank you, Mom. Can I go back to my room and have my little brother bring the meat over right away?"

"OK!"

Mom simply responded with a nod, and then immediately sprang into action.

[For some reason, I can actually sense a bit of a motherly feeling about her.]

Ah, it makes my heart melt...

[What? If I gave you meat, would you still be so weak?]

【…】

Nanxi returned to her room and stayed there for a while. She threaded the paper doll symbolizing eternal love onto her finger and twirled it like a handkerchief. She wandered around the room, teasing the cats and dogs, and soon smelled the aroma of food coming from outside.

"Knock knock".

The younger brother's voice came from outside the door, with affected politeness: "Sister, I've brought you your lunch."

Nanxi: "Come in."

The person at the door moved slowly and opened the door after a while.

Nanxi turned her head and looked.

The younger brother's mouth was greasy, and he was holding an empty bowl, still licking the oil from the bottom of the bowl.

"..."

That's incredibly fast!
