Yao Yufen shouted outside the door for a long time, but Yao Feiran ignored her and tried to leave with her two daughters while crying. It was Yao Shining who stopped them.

After a while, Yao Shining secretly entered Yao Feiran's room: "Mom, why is my sister crying?"

Yao Feiran wouldn't give her youngest daughter any face: "Her husband's family won't give her money, so she's come to me asking. She just asked for 300,000 yuan right off the bat, as if money just falls from the sky. If she asks you for money, don't agree, or you'll lose it all."

"..."

Hearing this, Yao Shining fell silent.

The next day, Yao Yufen stormed off, and the house was finally quiet.

Yao Shining: "Mom, I need to go to Chengxi's mom's place. Will you come with me?"

"No need, you guys go ahead, I'll just rest at home."

Tian Chengxi's parents were from the village and had four sons and one daughter. They were gentle and rarely troubled their children. In the past, the original owner insisted that her eldest daughter must spend the New Year with them. Tian's mother didn't say anything, but only said that harmony in the family brings prosperity. She let Tian Chengxi accompany her daughter to spend the New Year with the original owner. After that, every year she would come to spend the New Year with the original owner first.

With the whole family gone, Yao Feiran was enjoying her leisure time in the house. When she went out for a walk, her neighbor Zhou Chunlan came over for a chat, with her son following behind her.

Yao Feiran didn't want to speak, but she blocked the entrance to the building and said, "Young lady, you're only in your early sixties and you're already thinking about retirement? I see your daughter isn't doing well either, why don't you go out and find a job? Even being a nanny could help share the burden."

The original owner had talked to this neighbor a few times. This family originally had a daughter, but she felt she was being treated unfairly and went to work in another city and never came back. Now the couple is still working in another city to buy a house and car for their son, and they can only rest for a little while during the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Chunlan felt uneasy seeing Yao Feiran doing nothing all day except going out for a stroll, while her daughter and son-in-law were filial.

Yao Feiran: "I have a pension, and my daughter is willing to support me. Why would I go out and suffer? I'll end up with a lot of health problems. Please move aside."

Zhou Chunlan's son, Jiang Xing, noticed the logo on Yao Feiran's scarf, and his eyes flickered.

Yao Feiran pushed her away and left. Zhou Chunlan scolded her son, "You good-for-nothing! You're so old and still can't find a wife. You're making your parents work so hard."

"It's because you're incompetent! If I could afford a house, I would have gotten married long ago."

Yao Feiran closed the door and ignored their noise. In the middle of the night, Yao Feiran opened her eyes.

There must be thieves outside.

Yao Shining's neighborhood has been around for decades, but the security isn't great and there's hardly any surveillance. Anyone can just walk in. She just didn't expect that a thief would come during the Lunar New Year, especially since it happened to be when Yao Shining's family was away on a long trip.

This coincidence is very likely due to someone having been scouting the location all along.

These days, people generally don't keep cash at home, especially since Yao Shining keeps all her valuables in a safe.

Yao Feiran turned on the light, and at that moment the bedroom door opened. Yao Feiran saw that it was Zhou Chunlan's son, Jiang Xing.

The moment Yao Feiran and Jiang Xing locked eyes, she knew the other wanted to kill her.

Because he didn't hide his appearance.

Jiang Xing was also surprised for a moment, because Yao Feiran did not panic when she saw him rush in; her eyes were as calm as a stagnant pool.

"You old woman are quite calm."

"Young man, stealing is one thing, but wanting to kill someone is a bit impulsive."

Jiang Xing's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were fierce: "Old man, last time I heard your daughter and son-in-law in the hallway saying that you paid off their mortgage of 200,000 yuan, and that scarf you were wearing must have cost several thousand yuan. It seems that you old man still have a lot of money. Tell me your bank card and password."

It turns out that Yao Shining hadn't kept her mouth shut. The couple was probably too excited that day, and the building's soundproofing was poor, so Jiang Xing heard them.

Seeing that Yao Feiran remained silent, Jiang Xing rushed forward with his knife.

With a snap, Yao Feiran kicked out, and the other person slammed against the wall with a cracking sound. Jiang Xing fainted.

Yao Feiran was stunned for a moment, forgetting that martial arts existed in this world. Even though she hadn't started learning, her physical potential was already higher than in the ordinary world.

She immediately called the police.

After examining the scene, the police initially determined it to be a home invasion robbery, in which the perpetrator was killed by a woman in her sixties.

The lead policeman muttered to himself for a while, feeling that something was amiss.

At the police station

Zhou Chunlan cried and wailed on the side.

"She must be framing my son. My son is so obedient, how could he possibly break into my house and rob me?"

"Ms. Zhou, are you aware that Jiang Xing borrowed one million yuan because of gambling?"

Zhou Chunlan was stunned for a moment.

......

Just as Yao Feiran was about to leave, she was suddenly stopped by an older policeman with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Ms. Yao, please come here for a moment. There's been a new development in the matter."

Yao Feiran was taken to a private interrogation room.

The other party's tone was menacing: "Ms. Yao, I just inspected the wall, and this force is not something an ordinary person could exert. Have you studied martial arts?"

"Don't you have any way to test whether I've learned martial arts?"

The other person was taken aback, and it seemed to make sense. He reached out and used his true energy to examine her, but he didn't find anything wrong. Martial artists all start with body training, but looking closely at her skin, it didn't seem like she had ever trained her body.

Moreover, they investigated her entire family history, and found that her family members were all ordinary people.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yao, you can go back now."

"Can I learn your martial arts? I've searched online for ages but haven't found any secret manuals. The government is keeping it a secret."

"Uh—" The man looked embarrassed. "I don't have that. Only special schools teach it. Besides that, Taoist priests or aristocratic families also teach it. If they are willing, they can teach it to you. However, once you start practicing it, you must register and you cannot hurt people at will."

"Alright."

Yao Feiran wasn't in a hurry; Tian Yufeng would come along sooner or later anyway.

As soon as Yao Feiran stepped out, she discovered that Yao Shining's entire family had returned.

"Mom, are you alright? They just said there was a home invasion robbery, and the criminal attempted murder."

Yao Shining's eyes were red and she almost lost her balance.

"It's alright, I kicked him and he passed out."

Tian Yufeng's expression was strange. The police had just told him that his grandmother had kicked the criminal into a vegetative state.

Surprisingly, this grandmother is quite agile.
