Chapter 940: Chapter 940 This Time It’s a Big Loss

Zhou Aiqing watched the receding figure and thought to herself, "One should marry a virtuous wife."

Mao Yunshang was feeling displeased at that moment, having failed to get what she wanted and realising it was getting late. If she didn’t hurry, she might miss the bus back to the countryside and probably skip lunch as well.

She hurried back with her things, walking too hastily and preoccupied with her thoughts to notice the mess she’d created at the doorway. She slipped and fell, and Kang Huaiqing, trying to catch her, also tumbled down.

The things in Mao Yunshang’s hands were scattered on the ground, and indifference to her own pain, she exclaimed, "My stuff."

She braved the pain to check the contents of her basket, only to see the liquid from a jar spilling out, and she screamed, "My canned goods, ah, they’re all smashed."

Her shouting drew a crowd around her.

A woman whispered to someone nearby, "I saw them heading towards the director’s home just now, and they’ve fallen just before reaching there."

Someone else added, "The director’s family went to visit relatives; they’re not home."

The courtyard residents knew each other quite well, and taking the opportunity, a woman who didn’t get along with Mao Yunshang taunted her, "Yo, Yunshang, did you hear that the director’s wife is generous and gives back more than she receives? It seems you wanted to take advantage, but not only did you not succeed, you also lost your cans.

Hahaha, what’s that saying? Oh, right, ’trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.’ You’ve really made a loss this time."

Mao Yunshang was already in a foul mood and, upon hearing these words, suppressed her pain and scrambled up from the ground, abandoning her belongings and lunging at the woman.

The two quickly began scuffling, and Kang Huaiqing felt utterly embarrassed by Mao Yunshang, reprimanding, "Stop it, enough already! Look at yourself."

After giving the trouble-making woman a fierce stare, he picked up the items on the ground and glanced at Mao Yunshang, "Aren’t you going home to pack and catch the bus?"

Turning to the onlookers, he said, "Disperse, everyone."

The woman who had spoken earlier spat, "Commit the act but can’t stand the talk, serves you right."

When Luo Qiao and the others arrived at the Yuan Family’s, her godparents were just coming out. Seeing the car, they both beamed with smiles: "Yanyan, Yueyue, come over to grandma and grandpa."

Luo Qiao handed the two children to Tiong Shulan and Yuan Wei Han, "Dad, mom, happy New Year, why are you outside in this freezing weather?"

Yuan Wei Han glanced at Tiong Shulan, "It’s your mother who couldn’t wait and insisted on coming out to meet you."

Holding Yueyue with a face brimming with joy, Tiong Shulan said, "It’s been too long since I’ve seen Yanyan and Yueyue."

As Lu Yichen was reaching to get things from the car, Yuan Jianing also ran out, "Come here, let me have a hug."

She snatched Yanyan from her uncle and kissed the little girl’s cheek, "Did you miss your auntie?"

It was only meant as a tease, but Yanyan unexpectedly answered, "I did."

This response delighted Yuan Jianing immensely, who began hopping around with Yanyan in her arms, praising the child endlessly.

Watching the ruckus, Tiong Shulan said to Yueyue, "We won’t join their madness. It’s too cold; let’s go inside the house."

Sweetly, Yueyue replied, "Okay."

This made Tiong Shulan’s heart blossom with happiness: "My Yueyue is such a good girl, listen to how clearly she speaks."

Irritated from waiting so long and having heard the noise outside, Old Master Yuan stood up and walked towards the door only to see a crowd entering.

Spotting the child in the arms of his daughter-in-law at the front, he asked, "Is this Yanyan or Yueyue?"

As the two children looked identical and strangers could only tell them apart by their earlobes, Tiong Shulan joyfully handed Yueyue to Grandpa, "Dad, this is Yueyue."

Pointing to the earlobe, she said, "Look, this is our Yueyue’s distinguishing mark."

Old Master Yuan laughed heartily, "Right, right, Yueyue’s little earlobe is indeed here on a mission, otherwise we might mix up who is who."

After everyone had entered the house, Luo Qiao, seeing her cousin was also there, asked, "Why didn’t we see you yesterday?"
