Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Mi's eldest aunt and second aunt, hearing Chai Mi ask like this, then also told her everything in detail.

It turned out Su Wan came to the county hospital yesterday; afterward, Old Man Wang Huirong scolded and made a scene at home, and by this morning, Su Jin found out and went to Chai Mi's house, where she ran into Chai Youqing, wanting to ask what exactly was going on with Su Wan…

Chai Youqing was also evasive, and in the end actually shouldered his hoe and went off to work.

Chai Mi's eldest aunt was furious, so she had her son Liu San, who had just returned home, drive over to fetch Chai Mi's second aunt as well, originally planning to come to the hospital together to check on Su Wan.

As a result, the two sisters just waited at Chai Mi's house, but discovered Wang Huirong leading Chai Family's third son Chai Youde to Chai Mi's house, and they took away Chai Mi's calf.

Su Jin didn't understand why, and argued with Wang Huirong.

At that moment Su Jin demanded to know why Wang Huirong wasn't going to visit Su Wan; not only did she meet with Wang Huirong's cold mockery and sarcasm, she was also told to mind her own business.

…

Listening to her eldest aunt Su Jin's account, Chai Mi's face grew worse and worse; when Su Jin finished, Chai Mi knitted her brows, feeling extremely displeased inside, but on the surface merely asked coolly: "Eldest Aunt, you mean my father went home and not only failed to get back my mother's medical expenses, but even lost our family's calf in the bargain?"

When Chai Mi's eldest aunt Su Jin was just now speaking with her own younger sister Su Wan, she had also heard Su Wan mention the matter of Chai Mi having her father Chai Youqing go home to demand the medical expenses.

So she sighed, nodded, and said: "Alas… I don't know anything else. At the time I was still trying to stop them; I knew that calf belonged to your family. I was still wondering, with no one from your family at home, how could they come and seize the calf? Isn't that blatant robbery?"

Chai Mi's second aunt also chimed in: "Exactly, it's blatant robbery. Your eldest aunt asked Wang Huirong, 'Did you pay money before you led my sister's calf away?' As a result Wang Huirong told your eldest aunt to mind her own business. She even shoved your eldest aunt once. Later your male cousin was there beside them, and he wasn't happy about it… they almost came to blows."

Chai Mi more or less understood now; never mind that her eldest aunt didn't know why Wang Huirong would take their family's calf, even she herself didn't know why — this was simply robbery.

Open, barefaced robbery.

"They've really grown some nerve." Chai Mi said coldly.

Su Wan lifted her head, looking at Chai Mi, a complex expression appearing on her face, containing both bewilderment and loss and anger. That old cow had given birth this time to a little female calf with a purplish-red flowery clean face, tall stature and a trim waist and long legs (this can't be explained, it just means a perfect figure), and Su Wan liked it very much; she fed it early every day, and often went out to cut green grass for it to eat — she truly liked it to the utmost. How could it be that just after she stepped out, the cow was snatched away by someone?

Was her own husband Chai Youqing a dead man, then?

"Chai Mi, look at this matter… that cow is clearly our family's, how dare they…" Su Wan was angry partly because the cow had been snatched away — it was one she had painstakingly raised, so there was inevitably some affection involved. But she was even angrier because Chai Youqing was clearly at home… yet he didn't stop it…

"This life… alas…"

Chai Mi watched her mother's continuous sighing, stepped forward to wipe her mother's tears dry, then straightened up and comforted her: "Mom, you rest easy; everything has me."

"Probably Grandfather and Grandmother pressured my father, and my father had no way to refuse, so he sneakily hid himself away. But this matter, today I'll go home and have a good showdown with him — if this family can carry on, it carries on; if it can't, we'd better split up quickly."
