When Liu Xiaolan was woken up from her sleep, she felt a little wrong. Why does her body suddenly feel so heavy?
She quickly opened her eyes and looked down at her body. It seems that her little fool decided to hug her in his sleep, clinging to her like an octopus.
Just as she was trying to get her way out of his arms without waking him up, Mu Yuchen opened his eyes and asked, "Goodmorning, lady is awake?"
"Since you're awake, quickly get off from me…" Liu Xiaolan said with a slight blush. It still feels a little awkward for her to feel the contact between their bodies.
Mu Yuchen was unwilling, but in the end he sighed and stood up. "Lady can sleep a little longer, I'll go and bring some water back."
Seeing that he rushed out of their home without letting her say anything, Liu Xiaolan had a little smile on her face. Looking at the ground next to their pot, she noticed that the wooden bucket was still there.
Thinking of her little fool rushing to the river to pick up water without any vessel for it, Liu Xiaolan started laughing, and couldn't help but imagine his face when he realizes his mistake.
Liu Xiaolan had a smile on her face and lied herself down again. Soon, her eyes closed and she slowly fell asleep again.

Meanwhile inside the Liu family the day has begun early, with everyone already on their feet.
Shen Meijing and her daughter were in the kitchen preparing breakfast for today. Usually they should still be in bed and have their beauty sleep, but today Grandma Liu woke them up with a big fuss and pushed them to prepare food earlier.
Looking at the panda eyes of Yan Rusheng, Liu Xueyue muttered to her mother dissatisfied, "Mom, why do we need to take care of all the things in the house now? It's not even the usual time to eat now, but we have to cook simply because Grandma was too angry to sleep?"
"Sssh, be quiet. Your grandmother is already angry because of that stupid girl, if you push the flames now who knows if she doesn't blow up at us?" Shen Meijing quickly stopped her from speaking.
She was truly a little scared of her mother-in-law right now. Grandma Liu's temper had never been to good, and whenever something doesn't go according to her own thoughts she would blow up and take her anger on their family.
When Liu Xiaolan was still there, she could take the abuse for them and they would be fine. But now that they're alone, what if Grandma Liu looks bad at them and lets out her anger on them? Wouldn't they get beaten for no reason?
It's still better to just keep quiet and hope that Grandma Liu's anger goes away by itself slowly…
When the food was served and they were about to begin eating, a shout could be heard outside their home.
"Where's everyone? I'm back…"
Liu Peng came outside Liu family's house and looked around, seeing nobody. Just as he thought that they were still sleeping, he noticed his mother coming out. "Mom, you're up? Why are you so quiet today then?"
Liu Peng is Shen Meijing and Liu Weixin's son. Grandma Liu always hoped that someone from their family could become an official welding power over other people, so she sent all her grandchildren to school in the city.
Well, all besides Liu Xiaolan, but who can help the fact that she doesn't like her?
Liu Peng has been going to a small known college in Shenyang for a few years now. Even if he was going to the city to learn, the college they picked for him wasn't anything good.
After the college collected the money, for most of the time there were only sessions with self study and even if a gentleman came to teach them something, he wasn't really teaching them anything, just letting them spend some time there.
After all, Liu family might be a local rich man in the Liuojia Village, but outside of their home their money is not worth much. Because of that, even if they send their children to learn, they could only pick the worst and cheapest schools.
Grandma Liu had high hopes for Liu Peng, but it wouldn't really amount to much. Now after living in the city for a few years and going to his college, Liu Peng's knowledge hasn't advanced at all.
If anything, he became more of a rouge than his father, going to the red district with his friends or gambling his allowance for most of the time. Let's not say becoming an official, it would be good if he doesn't get in trouble.
Yan Rushen however didn't know of what was happening with her grandson in the city. Until now she still hoped for his bright future, so every time he came back her face would have a bright smile and her mood would improve.
Shen Meijing looked at her son with a smile. "You're back, my son. It's good, quickly go and coax your grandmother, she's been fuming with anger since yesterday. We're too scared to speak to her…"
Liu Peng went inside their house and noticed that his father and sister were sitting quietly at the table and trying to make as little noise as possible while eating. He turned his attention towards his grandmother and fakely said, "Grandma, I'm back again. Why are you so angry?"
Grandma Liu was still a little angry thinking about what happened yesterday, but seeing the concern on Liu Peng's face she smiled a little and said, "Why should I be angry? Isn't it because of that dead girl, making me lose my face in front of all the villagers…"
Seeing that Liu Peng had no idea what was going on, his sister quietly whispered in his ear what happened yesterday at Liu Xiaolan's home and why Grandma Liu was so angry.
A little late today, but here's the chapter.
Also, I already mentioned it before in comments, but starting this week I'll be publishing 3 chapters per day on Saturdays and Sundays.
