Chapter 622: Chapter 622 Bursting With Rage Chapter 622: Chapter 622 Bursting With Rage After seeing Old Lady Mo out the front gate, Xuexue turned around to go back inside. With a swing, she closed the main gate behind her.

“Bang!”

Just as Old Lady Mo thought Xuexue was returning inside to fetch some silver for her, she heard a loud bang behind her.

She turned around to see that the gate of the Xie Residence had already been closed, and she could hear Xuexue shouting from inside, “Grandmother, you should hurry back home. Our family doesn’t have that much silver to support your grandson; it’s better if his father earns the money to support his own son.”

Old Lady Mo was immediately livid with rage. Just now, she had found it strange how compliant that damn girl seemed, and now she realized all the charade was just to lure her out and lock the gate behind her.

“You deceitful girl, do you trick your grandmother like this?” Old Lady Mo was so angry she was jumping up and down. She rushed to the front of the Xie Residence and started pounding on the door while cursing vigorously.

Now, all the hard-earned silver she had extorted from Madam Xie with great effort over the past days was gone in an instant.

Inside the house

Xuexue, turning a deaf ear to Old Lady Mo’s ranting and raving, proceeded to enter the main hall.

“Xuexue, have they all left?” Madam Xie, who had been all ears listening to the commotion, immediately approached Xuexue as she entered.

“It’s fine, they’re gone.”

“Why is your grandmother cursing outside?”

“Who knows. Maybe she has nothing better to do. Mother, pay her no mind. In a while, once she’s tired of ranting, she’ll naturally leave.” Xuexue thought to herself that given how late it was already today, she simply did not believe the old hag could keep cursing all day. In such hot weather, she would break out in a sweat in no time and without water to drink, she could very well die of thirst.

Madam Xie: “Are we not going out today then?”

Xuexue: “Don’t worry. That old hag won’t hold out for long. In at most A Quarter of an Hour, she’ll surely leave.”

Chuner looked longingly at Xuexue, “Sister, I want to go outside to play with Qi Miao.”

“Be good, Chuner. Play with Qi Miao in the yard. You know grandmother always bullies us. If you open the door and let her in, and she sees mother here, she’ll definitely start beating her. Do you want her to hit mother?”

Chuner shook her head and pouted, “No, grandmother is a bad person.”

Xuexue nodded: “That’s why we can’t let her in to bully mother.”

“Fine, Chuner won’t go out. I’ll just play with Qi Miao in the yard,” agreed Chuner.

Xuexue smiled, “Good girl, Chuner.”

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Old Lady Mo sat at the entrance of the Xie Residence and ranted the entire morning, determined, looking every bit the obstinate old hag.

Around noon time, a thundering sound of horse hooves approached from afar.

Having lost so much silver, Old Lady Mo’s heart ached inexplicably, adopting an indifferent attitude to everything around her. She bore extreme hatred toward Madam Xie’s family, thinking that they had so much silver yet were unwilling to part with twenty taels of silver; these wretched women definitely needed to be taught a lesson.

Just as she was cursing with great fervor…

The village head’s voice bellowed, “Old Lady Mo, what on earth are you doing? Can’t you keep it down for a while?”

Hearing this, Old Lady Mo turned around and saw a large group of people. Every one of them was dressed splendidly, and the procession included tall horses and luxurious carriages, stretching out impressively, seemingly without end. The entourage was quite a spectacle.

Old Lady Mo was dumbfounded, thinking she was delirious from the heat and seeing illusions. She shook her head vigorously and then looked again, the magnificent procession was still there before her eyes.

“Village head, who are they?” Old Lady Mo asked the village head, clear in her mind that these were high officials and nobles. But why had they come to the Xie Residence?
