70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 198: Full Moon

She decided to let go of the matter with Yin Yang, too lazy to bother, as long as Yin Yang didn’t say anything, she would just treat him as a regular friend.

As for whether he really had feelings for her, it seemed she wasn’t ready for marriage anyway, so she’d leave it for later.

Soon it was time to go back to school, so Xu Mumu didn’t pay much attention to Yin Yang.

Meanwhile, Yin Yang, holding the notes Xu Mumu gave him, looked at the elegant handwriting. Yin Yang examined them himself, as he had already learned high school knowledge and wasn’t challenged by it.

He was naturally preparing for the college entrance exam as well, and he wanted to attend the same school as Xu Mumu.

Looking at Xu Mumu’s notes, he could tell her grades should be good. Her home was full of award certificates, and she knew several foreign languages, so she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage in the college entrance exam.

So he had to work even harder, otherwise, it wouldn’t be good to lag behind too much by then.

When the weekend came, Yin Yang came by again, having finished all the notes he borrowed.

Xu Mumu paused for a moment, she didn’t doubt Yin Yang’s intelligence at all, and he had ways to find various study materials, yet he chose to borrow her notes.

"Mr. Xu, I’ve finished reading all these, and I’m here to borrow the next batch of your notes." Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu warmly.

"Wait a moment, I’ll get them for you." Xu Mumu nodded, taking back the notes from Yin Yang’s hand.

Returning to her room, Xu Mumu took out two more books.

"Here, for you." Xu Mumu handed the notes to Yin Yang.

"Mr. Xu, the things you’ve compiled are very useful, I didn’t know a lot of them, and your notes are so detailed." Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu.

"Is that so? These are all knowledge points from the books, some aspects are more specific, so you might not have noticed them." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"Maybe, I’ll head back first, you can go on with your work." Yin Yang said with a smile, raising the notes in his hand.

"Alright, take care." Xu Mumu nodded.

After sending Yin Yang away, Xu Mumu walked towards the main house, thinking about Yin Yang, it seemed like he had been staring at her the whole time.

From the second room, there came a weak sound of a child crying, which tugged at Xu Mumu’s heart.

Xu Xue was holding the little one in the room, trying to soothe him.

Xu Mumu returned to her room and placed the neatly organized notes separately.

"Big sister, do you want to go up the mountain to play?" Xu Jiaojiao came over from the fourth room, holding a small basket.

"Are we going to dig for wild vegetables?" Xu Mumu asked.

"Yes, big sister, are you coming along?" Xu Jiaojiao nodded.

"Let’s go together, wait for me a moment, I’ll put my things down." Xu Mumu agreed, as she couldn’t focus on studying at the moment, it was better to go to the mountain and dig some wild vegetables.

After telling Xu Minglei to keep an eye on their younger brother, Xu Mumu went up the mountain with Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Mumu took a vegetable basket and a sickle, and went up the mountain with Xu Jiaojiao.

At this time, the wild grasses were beginning to sprout, and there were quite many edible things on the mountain.

Not many girls came to dig for wild vegetables on the mountain, as wild vegetables were scarce at this time, and there wasn’t much that was edible.

Xu Mumu and her sister were lucky to find quite a bit of orach, which was tasty and tender, perfect for making wild vegetable pancakes.

The sisters both gathered quite a lot, and Xu Jiaojiao, with her keen eyes, surprisingly spotted a bird’s nest.

"Big sister, look, a bird’s nest, do you think there are any eggs inside?" Xu Jiaojiao asked excitedly.

"Probably not yet. It’s still a bit cold; those birds will lay eggs when it gets warmer. If you want eggs, just have your mom fry some for you." The fourth family was not living too harshly, so Xu Jiaojiao could certainly have some eggs if she wanted.

"Oh, I’m not really craving chicken eggs, I just kinda miss the taste of bird eggs." Xu Jiaojiao said a bit shyly; bird eggs were tender, and whether boiled or fried, they were pretty tasty.

Back before the family split, getting to eat a bird egg was considered very lucky.

"We’ll come back in a while to see if there are any bird eggs." Xu Mumu patted Xu Jiaojiao’s hair.

"Got it, big sister." The little girl nodded obediently, not being insistent on eating bird eggs.

Soon, it was time for little Xu Mingfeng’s full moon. That day, Xu Mumu and a few others were still in school.

Xu Hai only invited the Li family and the Xu family’s relatives.

The visitors filled two tables; even the third family came back, which meant Lin Juan and Xu Dongbao were there. Xu Dongbao had taken a leave and didn’t go to school.

Fortunately, Lin Juan didn’t cause trouble today, and Madam Chen and the others were quite happy.

However, just as Lin Juan was about to leave, she started complaining of her financial struggles to the old couple.

Now that they were divided into separate households, the old home didn’t send them food anymore, and they had to buy the grains themselves. With the increased burden of living expenses, it was hard to make ends meet, so she came back to complain to the old couple, hoping to get something from them.

"Third daughter-in-law, what’s your problem? Now that the third son doesn’t need to hand over his earnings, isn’t that enough for you to live on? Hasn’t your father been subsidizing you quite a bit? And now you’re crying poverty to me." Madam Chen laughed coldly at Lin Juan’s little tricks. She once saw Xu Jiang as her most successful son, but now he seemed to be the most heartless.

"Mom, look at Dongbao. He’s lost so much weight, he’s your own grandson. Can you bear to see him suffer?" Lin Juan’s face stiffened, then turned mournful.

Their family matters were known at home, which embarrassed her. They did have some money but needed to save it for their son’s education and future marriage.

"Heh heh, you as a mother can let him suffer, so why can’t I? Don’t tell me all this nonsense. I don’t lack grandsons, and I don’t have money." Madam Chen didn’t want to say more to Lin Juan. When they needed them, they were humble, but when they didn’t, they were the lofty city dwellers.

"Dad." Lin Juan turned her eyes to Old Xu; Madam Chen was tough, but Old Xu was soft-hearted.

"Sister-in-law, our parents’ stuff is our stuff, why don’t you send over some of your parents’ things?" Before Old Xu could speak, Li Caixia interjected. She believed it was only fair.

The eldest house cared for the elderly, so after their eventual passing, their belongings naturally belonged to them.

"You, I was talking to the parents, not you." Lin Juan’s face turned uglier.

"Third daughter-in-law, everything meant to be divided has been given to the third family, what, do you still want to force the two of us to hand over our funeral savings?" Old Xu said calmly; his mindset had changed a lot thanks to Xu Mumu. When she told the little ones the big principles, they all listened in.
