Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Wang Xiaoni Returns to Her Parents’ Home

Wang Xiaoni had just placed a dish on the table when Yue Xingxing stormed in.

"Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you take Qingqing out for a longer walk?"

Wiping her hands on her apron, Wang Xiaoni noticed something was off with the kids’ expressions.

"What happened?"

Yue Xingxing gave Yue Xiaohu, who looked guilty as a quail, a fierce look and recounted the events.

Feeling guilty, Yue Xiaohu dashed off to the kitchen.

As soon as she heard that her sister-in-law was talking about Wang Biao to the niece, Wang Xiaoni’s face changed.

And when she heard about the gold bracelet, she couldn’t believe it.

"Are you sure you saw it clearly?"

"No mistake about it, it’s the one given during the New Year. Qingqing saw it too, she even reminded me."

Yue Qingqing nodded. They went back to Daye Village every year for the New Year.

This gold bracelet was quite valuable, specially brought back by Lin Chunju for Wang Xiaoni to give to her mother.

And to be honest, everyone knew the financial state of Wang Xiaoni’s two brothers’ families.

The families of Wang Xiaoni’s two sisters-in-law were not very well-off either.

It just didn’t add up that they could afford such a bracelet.

Wang Xiaoni muttered, "But the last time I went to see grandma, she was wearing the bracelet on her wrist."

Yue Qingqing speculated, "Does auntie always choose the same days to visit her maternal home?"

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoni understood.

She always visited her mother on the twentieth of every month. If there were changes, she would have her husband pass the message to her brothers while he was working in the fields.

Every time she went home, she saw that her sisters-in-law behaved very respectfully towards her mother who would be wearing the fine clothes and the earrings and bracelet Wang Xiaoni had given her.

But what about when she wasn’t there?

Her father had passed away when she was eighteen. By that time, her two brothers were grown-up.

The family had enough labor to not lead too hard a life, though it was somewhat poor.

But after all, her mother was a widow. If she was really being mistreated by her daughters-in-law, she would probably bear it in silence.

Wang Xiaoni was anxious as fire, hastily served the food, changed her clothes, and prepared to leave.

Just then, Yue Jianxi arrived at the door.

He knew the three children were coming home today and had specifically bought some soy braised beef and pig’s ears to add to their meal, only to see his wife walking out distractedly.

"What’s the matter?"

Wang Xiaoni didn’t want to disclose her suspicions, "Today, Xingxing saw her aunt outside, and I remembered last time I went, mother felt unwell. I just want to see if she’s gotten better."

On hearing it involved his mother-in-law, Yue Jianxi immediately said, "Then wait for me a moment, I’ll take you there on the bicycle."

"No need, I can go alone. The food is in the pot; I’ll be right back."

Wang Xiaoni also knew how to ride a bicycle and quickly rode away.

Although Yue Jianxi was reserved, he was not slow-witted and felt something was amiss after coming in.

He greeted Yue Qingqing before turning to Xiaohu.

"Why did your mom suddenly go to grandma’s today?"

His wife always went at the end of each month, and she wouldn’t go empty-handed, something was definitely not right today.

Worried that Xingxing was too sly to tell the truth, he asked his naive son.

But Yue Xiaohu had just been in the kitchen and hadn’t heard his sister’s conversation with their mother.

He guessed, "Maybe it’s because aunt wanted to discuss a marriage match for Sister Qingqing today, she’s thinking of pairing her with cousin."

Yue Jianxi slapped the table in anger, "The audacity!"

Yue Xingxing quietly stuck out her tongue, thinking that if dad knew what else happened, he might flip the table.

But she and Qingqing exchanged glances and decided not to tell Yue Jianxi about the gold bracelet.

Firstly, the matter wasn’t clear yet.

Secondly, it involved Wang Xiaoni’s maternal family issues, and many people might not want to share such matters with their husbands.

So even if it needed to be discussed, it had to come from Wang Xiaoni herself.

It wasn’t appropriate for the younger generation to speak on this.

Wang Xiaoni rode her bicycle quickly, and when she arrived at her mother’s home, she didn’t bother locking it up but went straight inside.

Before she even got close, she could hear shouting and scolding from inside.
