My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

She lay on the ground howling like a pig being slaughtered, completely unaware that everyone had already arrived beside her.

"Oh my! Grandma? What are you doing here!"

Lin Chuan exclaimed exaggeratedly, his face full of shock and disbelief.

"What are you doing in the kitchen in the middle of the night instead of cuddling your precious grandson?"

"I...I..."

The old lady was trembling all over from the pain. Seeing the mocking looks in her family's eyes, she knew perfectly well that she had fallen into a trap!

But she didn't dare say that she had come to steal meat, so she could only stutter and pretend to be embarrassed.

"I...I got up in the middle of the night to find a restroom...and my old eyesight is failing, so I got lost..."

"Oh, so you were looking for the outhouse! Oh dear, look what's happened!"

Lin Chuan sighed helplessly, then looked at Guan Siya with an innocent expression.

"Fourth Sister, you're really something! Didn't I say during the day that weasels might come to steal meat from these deep mountains and forests? Why did you put this trap, which is specifically for dealing with wild animals, in the basket? Look how badly it's caught Grandma, she's all swollen up like a water radish!"

Guan Siya tried hard to suppress her laughter, but her lips twitched violently.

But she still pretended to pat her thigh.

"Oh, Lin Chuan, I was just keeping an eye out for thieves and animals! Who would have thought that Grandma, while looking for the outhouse, would accidentally slip her hand into our meat basket?"

"Pfft..."

Liu Ya and Qi Ya, hiding behind the crowd, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Guan Hongying looked coldly at her mother on the ground, feeling no pity whatsoever, only indescribable pleasure.

"Alright, stop howling."

Guan Hongying's voice was icy as she gestured for Guan Sanya to step on the trap.

Although the clips came loose, by then the old lady's two fingers were swollen and purple. Although they weren't broken, she wouldn't be able to use chopsticks for ten days to half a month.

At this point, the wicked old woman couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

She was furious, but she knew she couldn't lash out.

After all, they were indeed more numerous and powerful, so we had no choice but to swallow our anger.

"It's the middle of the night, don't make a fuss. Sister, help Grandma back inside and tell her the outhouse is outside the courtyard wall. If she goes into the wrong door again and breaks her leg, we can't afford to pay for it."

Lin Chuan smiled and waved to Guan Daya behind him.

Guan Daya is usually very composed, but she couldn't help but lose her composure when she saw this scene.

She had been secretly smiling to herself with her back to everyone.

Hearing Lin Chuan call his name, he quickly straightened his expression.

"Huh? Oh, okay."

The old woman was now soaked to the bone, her face covered in soot.

Even the bones in his fingers ached from the pain, but he didn't dare utter a sound. He could only tuck his tail between his legs, trembling, and be helped back to the drafty, dilapidated mud house by Guan Daya.

That night, the wicked old woman was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep, and she also had to coax Jinbao, who kept crying. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The next morning, although the snowstorm had stopped, the temperature had dropped to freezing.

In that dilapidated mud house, the old lady developed a high fever.

Last night, she was drenched in ice water and kept bothered by Jinbao all night. In addition, her right hand, which was swollen like a carrot from being caught in a mousetrap, was really too much for her to handle.

She was lying in bed, her face flushed with fever, and her lips trembling uncontrollably.

Jinbao didn't understand any of this; he only felt that he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, and he was tugging at her sleeve and howling.

"Grandma, let's go home... I don't want to stay here anymore. The bed is so hard, and there's no food..."

"Return to what?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady suddenly opened her triangular eyes, which were clouded by fever.

Although she was weak at this moment, her tone revealed a morbid greed and ruthlessness.

"We've even gnawed all the tree bark off our house; going back would mean certain death! Here, we have big brick houses, white flour, and fatty meat! Even if I die of illness or burn to death in this yard today, I will never leave! I refuse to believe she would dare to watch her own mother die here!"

She spoke with great conviction.

After all, just as she said yesterday, even if Guan Hongying really doesn't care about her reputation.

She also needs to think carefully about her two daughters in the army, as well as her other daughters!

The old lady had a clear plan in mind: as long as she refused to leave and was still alive, Guan Hongying would eventually have to compromise to protect her reputation.

At that time, everything in this house will belong to her beloved grandson Jinbao!

When that time really comes, she can bring her beloved son and daughter-in-law over to enjoy a life of luxury together! They can eat meat together!

Not long after, Guan Daya came in carrying a bowl of clear wild vegetable soup so thin you could see your reflection in it, and placed it on the bedside table expressionlessly.

She was originally the most good-tempered person in the family, but when she thought about how cruel this old hag was to Guan Hongying, she couldn't help but want to kill her!

Now, it's already quite impressive that she can resist the urge to take action herself.

"Oh dear... Grandma is sick... She has a fever..."

The old woman deliberately groaned in a rough voice, and even coughed violently twice as she spoke, trying to gain sympathy.

"Go tell your mother... cough cough cough... to make me a bowl of ginger soup and two poached eggs..."

"Eat it or don't, it's up to you."

Before she could finish speaking, Guan Daya interrupted her.

He didn't even glance at her, coldly uttered four words, and turned to leave.

Even when she left, she slammed the door shut behind her.

The old woman was left bewildered and disoriented in the cold wind.

"Sigh...you, you little brat..."

"Waaaaah, Grandma! Waaaaah... I want to eat meat!! I don't want to eat this, it tastes awful, waaaah..."

Unlike the bleak mud-brick house, the fire in the east room was burning brightly, and the atmosphere was even more lively!

After drinking the tea brewed with the spring water, the initial assessment of the literacy training class greatly surprised Lin Hai, a veteran professor.

He originally thought it would take ten days to half a month to teach him the most basic pinyin.

Unexpectedly, in just one night, the girls seemed to have been enlightened as if touched on the head by a legendary immortal!

Guan Daya demonstrated an astonishing memory; she could memorize most of the new words on a page after scanning it twice.

Guan Sanya, who already had a good foundation and a good memory, has almost mastered the junior high school knowledge.

Although Guan Siya wasn't good at reading, she had an intuition for arithmetic that was like a hunter's instinct.

At first, Lin Hai didn't believe it, but then he casually gave her two-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and she could give him the correct answer without even writing anything down.

This even made Lin Hai feel that Guan Siya in front of him was a completely different person!

"What a genius... Our Guan family isn't just experiencing auspicious omens from our ancestral graves, it's like they're on fire!"

Lin Hai's hands were trembling as he held the chalk; he was so excited he kept spinning around the room.

The eyes behind those gold-rimmed glasses seemed to be sparkling!

"Hongying! If our daughters were in the city, they'd definitely be guaranteed admission to university!"
