Chapter 33: Breaking One’s Word
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Yiyi completely disagreed, "Mom, I think Dad will definitely cover for Aunt."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun’s expression suddenly became calm, and she finally said lightly, "If he really does that, then we can’t continue living like this." She could tolerate her husband’s indifference towards her, but she couldn’t tolerate his indifference towards their daughter’s life. If something really happened to their daughter, she couldn’t go on living.
"Mom, are you serious?"
Yiyi was somewhat excited inside but couldn’t help confirming again.
"Of course it’s true. If your father is still protecting outsiders in this matter, then we really can’t live like this." Ding Yuejun’s eyes were full of determination; she couldn’t compromise no matter what when it came to her daughter’s matters. However, seeing her daughter trying to hide her happiness, she couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Yiyi, you seem quite expectant."
"Mom, it’s not that I don’t trust Dad, but over the years, he has never stood by us or considered us."
Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but hug her daughter, feeling a bit upset.
Seeing her mother upset, Yiyi spoke directly, "Mom, I’ll go find Mo Bajin right now, don’t worry about it anymore, things will work out."
"Yiyi, Mom will go with you."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly stopped her, "Mom, you stay home, I’ll go by myself." Saying this, she noticed that Mo Shan was not present, "Mom, where’s Shanshan, I haven’t seen her."
"Shanshan went to play with Xiao Hua next door."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi nodded with relief and said, "That’s good." Then she went out the door, but when she entered the yard, she ran into Qian Yafen.
Seeing Yiyi, Qian Yafen’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly reacted and asked worriedly, "Yiyi, how’s your mom? I just heard your dad say they seemed to have a dispute. It’s all my fault; I didn’t explain clearly just now. Actually, I accidentally fell, but your dad thought your mom pushed me."
"Psh... My dear aunt, it’s just the two of us now, stop acting. It’s exhausting to watch."
Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, Qian Yafen looked completely surprised, "Yiyi, what are you talking about."
Seeing Qian Yafen’s pretentious expression, Yiyi was unwilling to waste more words with her, "If there’s nothing, hurry back, neither my mom nor I want to see you."
"Yiyi, how have you become like this now? You weren’t like this before." Qian Yafen’s face was full of hurt, and she even wiped her eyes.
"Aunt, there’s no one watching your show now, don’t waste your efforts."
After saying this, Yiyi didn’t bother to look at Qian Yafen again and turned and walked away.
Watching Yiyi walk away, Qian Yafen’s face looked grim. The brat who should have been taught a lesson was now strolling in front of her, was something changing?
Thinking of this, Qian Yafen lost her interest in staying and quickly walked out.
Yiyi first found Mo Bajin, and seeing his bandaged wrist, she smiled coldly, "You’re moving quite fast."
Hearing this, Mo Bajin turned around to see Yiyi, his face changed sharply, "Why did you come here."
"Naturally, there’s something to talk to you about."
Mo Bajin immediately took a step back; now, seeing this little girl made him feel uneasy, "What else do you want."
Yiyi wasted no words, directly saying, "I want you to testify against Qian Yafen."
"No, I won’t testify against her."
Mo Bajin didn’t even think about it and refused directly. If he actually testified against Qian Yafen, everyone would know about his bribery and harming others. Who would associate with him afterward so this simply couldn’t happen.
Upon hearing this, Yiyi raised her eyebrows, saying directly, "That’s not up to you." As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward and tossed a pill into Mo Bajin’s mouth.
"What did you feed me?"
Mo Bajin looked terrified, his voice trembling.
"Don’t worry, it’s just medicine that will make you silently disappear in seven days, without any pain." Yiyi’s voice was a bit chilly, her eyes calm and emotionless.
Seeing Mo Yiyi like this, Mo Bajin felt inexplicably cold all over, but still forced himself to say, "Impossible, how could you have this thing, and I’ve never heard of it before."
"Believe it or not, in seven days, we’ll find out if what I said is true."
After speaking, Yiyi turned and walked away.

"Wait..."
Seeing Mo Yiyi walk away without hesitation, Mo Bajin hurriedly called out to her. He didn’t dare to gamble on something like this, knowing that his life was at stake.
"Fine, I agree to it, now give me the antidote."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi stopped. She then turned to Mo Bajin and said, "You don’t have the choice in this matter. The antidote will be given after you testify against Qian Yafen." After saying this, she didn’t look at Mo Bajin again and left.
Actually, Yiyi had just fed Mo Bajin a normal Sanqi Pill made from Sanqi dug from Songshan.
As for the kind of pill that makes one silently disappear in seven days, she could make it, but unfortunately didn’t have enough ingredients, even the best cook couldn’t make a meal without ingredients. So, she only frightened Mo Bajin today, luckily he cherished his life, making today’s mission successful.
But after Yiyi walked out far, she saw Qian Yafen from a distance, realizing that she hurriedly hid beside a straw mound.
Before long, she saw Qian Yafen enter Mo Bajin’s house.
Seeing this, Yiyi smirked, and without lingering, she returned home.
As soon as Ding Yuejun saw her daughter return, she quickly pulled her over and asked, "Yiyi, how did it go?"
"Mom, just don’t worry, there will be no issue. Mo Bajin will come and testify against Qian Yafen." As for Qian Yafen visiting Mo Bajin, Yiyi didn’t mention it, lest her mother worry.
Though she worried a bit about Mo Bajin changing his mind, based on her observations, Mo Bajin was just a fearful bad guy, so she wasn’t afraid he wouldn’t show up.
When it came time for dinner, Ding Yuejun originally planned to make something simple, but Yiyi directly said, "Mom, why cook ourselves, let’s go eat at Grandma’s instead."
Old Mrs. Mo had decent meals, and more importantly, many of the food items came from their family’s labor, why not eat there?
Upon hearing her daughter’s suggestion, Ding Yuejun didn’t object, and took Yiyi and Mo Shan to the main house.
Old Mrs. Mo saw her eldest daughter-in-law and her little granddaughter-in-law Mo Shan, her face turned unpleasant, but she said nothing, and then the whole family sat and ate.
"Qian Yafen, you promised me a hundred bucks, and now you’re going back on your word."
As the Mo family member was focusing on eating, Mo Bajin’s voice suddenly came through.
