After delivering the expired food, Ye Mumu went upstairs.
The screen of her mobile phone kept lighting up. It was calls from her uncles and aunts in the family.
Her parents died and she became an orphan. Her uncles and aunts joined forces with her grandmother to come to her house and wanted to embezzle her property.
Fortunately, her father had foresight and made a will.
At her parents' funeral, her uncles and aunts joined forces with her grandmother to force her to hand over her father's property.
And they said they were helping her keep it.
They said that she was a girl and would get married sooner or later. How could she manage a company worth tens of billions?
There were more than a dozen houses, several shops, and two rented buildings in the family.
They asked her to hand them all over and divide them equally among her uncles and brothers.
Her father was not the only shareholder of the company, but he was the largest shareholder, holding more than 30% of the shares.Ye Mumu asked other shareholders to come forward and help her keep her property.
She does not participate in the management, but only gets dividends.
She quits the management, and the other shareholders are happy to agree.
Bodyguards appear at the funeral hall and control the situation.
Lawyers and notaries are present, and Dad's will is made public, and all the property is inherited by Ye Mumu.
Several uncles cried and screamed, scolding her for being cold-blooded and Dad for being cruel.
Grandma wanted to hit her, but was stopped by the bodyguard.
They couldn't get the inheritance openly, so they started to play the family card and called her every day.
Seeing that she was indifferent and couldn't get money from her, they called and insulted her.
They scolded her for being cruel, for being heartless, and for not knowing how to help her elders when they were unhappy.
Later, she blocked the relatives' phone numbers, and they called from different numbers.
Ye Mumu let the screen light up and never answered.
She walked into her parents' room, curled up into a small ball, and lay on their sofa.
Smelling the familiar smell, she imagined that her parents were still by her side.
Only then did she feel at ease.

After Zhan Chengyin threw the paper, the vase never responded again.
He wondered if he was too greedy and asked for too much, angering the gods.
He suppressed his annoyance and walked out of the dilapidated general's mansion.
On the street, the broken walls on both sides of the road were in ruins, and the wind blew up yellow sand all over the sky, flying everywhere.
Countless starving and skinny people were lying on the roadside waiting to die.
When they saw the general coming out, they all looked at him with distracted eyes.
Those who still had strength knelt down and kowtowed to him.
Before this, refugees gathered at the general's mansion and asked the general to open the warehouse to release grain. The refugees
clashed with the servants of the general's mansion. The servants said that the general's mansion had no food for a long time.
The general and they ate grass roots.
But the refugees didn't believe it, and the two sides fought.
There were originally more than a dozen servants in the general's mansion, six of whom were injured and beaten to death because there was no medicine to cure them.
There were six more who starved to death.
Only the last old housekeeper was left, and the old housekeeper himself swallowed Guanyin soil.
They atone for their sins to the general and repent for the sins they have committed.
They stayed in the general's mansion, and their bodies could save 20,000 troops after death, so they were willing to offer their bodies.
Zhan Chengyin walked to the intersection, and a pale and thin woman knelt down and cried to him.
"General, please save my son's life, please."
Seeing this, General Tian Tai wanted to throw away the woman who blocked the road.
The woman cried, "My two young sons have been exchanged for food by his father. This is the last one, and he is still alive. How can his father be so cruel?"
"Please save him, even if I die, I want to exchange my son's life!"
Zhan Chengyin heard it, clenched his hands, and his veins bulged.
Unscrupulous things happen every day in the city.
He thought he was used to hearing and seeing it, and would get used to it.
However, the remaining conscience is still uneasy.
Watching the people exchange their children for food, they are still alive.
These are the people that his Zhan family army has filled with their lives and protected!
"Where is your husband?"
When the woman heard that the general was willing to take care of it, she quickly pointed to a dilapidated alley.
Zhan Chengyin turned and walked towards the alley.
In the alley, a father wiped his tears, reluctant to exchange his child.
His child hugged his legs tightly, crying and shouting that he would never eat again, and begged his father to give him a way out.
Don't replace him!
There was another child, without a shirt, with a thin body and clearly defined ribs, who sat silently on the yellow earth.
He could not cry, and two tears flowed down his dusty face.
He seemed to have resigned himself to death.
The woman shouted to the child, "Yang'er!" The
silent little boy heard his mother's voice, stood up with the help of the wall, and wanted to walk towards his mother. He was kicked over by his vicious father.
His father lifted him up by the neck and shouted, "Do you want to change it or not? If you want to die, don't delay me."
Tian Tai put his long sword on the man's neck.
The man shuddered with fear, and the child fell to the ground.
The woman rushed over and hugged the child.
The child cried out, "Mom, you finally came to save me. Can I survive? I won't be eaten like my brothers and sisters!"
The woman broke down and cried, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't protect your brothers and sisters."
The man heard this and cursed, "Don't give me that. You said that you didn't eat less because you exchanged the child. You drank more broth than me."
The woman covered the child's ears and screamed in fear when she heard the man's words.
"You didn't tell me that it was exchanged for my child's life. You tricked me out and secretly exchanged the child."
"How can you be so cruel? They are your closest relatives."
The man wanted to hit the woman, but Tian Tai tightened the knife around his neck.
Blood beads flowed from his neck.
He said in a terrified voice: "General, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please spare my life and let the little one go."
"I will never exchange the child again. I will raise him well."
People like him used to be rogues, liars, and never change their bad habits!
Zhan Chengyin said coldly: "Take him to the military camp as a soldier."
The man screamed like a pig being slaughtered and begged for mercy desperately.
The barbarian army of 300,000 surrounded the town, and not even a fly could fly out. Going to the military camp would only lead to death.
The man cursed the woman and the child, and was dragged away cursing.
The other family who wanted to exchange the child had already fled.
Zhan Chengyin looked at the skinny child, and he touched the two rice balls in his arms.
He took out a rice ball and secretly stuffed it into the woman's hand.
The woman was stunned when she touched the soft and warm rice ball, but she still took it.
When Zhan Chengyin left, she kowtowed to him with the child and thanked him profusely!
*
Zhan Chengyin had a small rice ball left in his arms.
He was going to give it to a soldier.
The soldier could repair horse hooves, tables and chairs, and was very popular among the soldiers in the army.
Two days ago, the barbarians attacked and he was hit by several arrows. The arrows were not fatal, but due to lack of medicine, the wounds became infected.
The doctor said that he could not survive, and now he was just waiting to die with one breath left.
The soldier's eyes were bright, and he smiled and said he was not afraid of death.
He just wanted to have a full meal before he died, even if it was just grass roots.
He brought two rice balls, although they were not enough for him to eat, but they were white rice balls wrapped with meat and vegetables.
The soldier should be happy.
Zhan Chengyin walked towards the military camp.
Suddenly, an old lady with a pale face, thin muscles, and weak body fell down in front of him.
She staggered and knelt in front of him, holding a plate full of grass roots in her arms.
"General, I am dying. I beg you to protect my granddaughter for a while."
"My whole family is dead. Only my granddaughter and I are left to depend on each other. I really can't bear to let her become someone else's food."
"These grassroots old women have saved for a few days. Please accept it, General."
Zhan Chengyin saw that there were many wounds on the old man's arms and back of his hands, which were cut by blunt instruments.
There was dried blood at the corners of the three-year-old granddaughter's mouth, and he understood everything.
He clenched the rice ball in his hand!
He was a man who stood tall and killed countless enemies on the battlefield.
Seeing the old man bleeding to save his granddaughter... Such a cruel scene, even if he was cruel, he looked up at the sky and forced back the tears in his eyes!
"Live well, cook the vegetable roots and eat them!"
He put the last rice ball in the basin.
On the way back to the general's mansion, he hurried and his mind was in a mess.
Seeing the people in the city like this, his heart was as painful as a knife.
He was going to pray to the gods to save the soldiers and the people of the city.
Even at the cost of his life.
He really didn't want to see starving people everywhere and people bleeding and waiting to die in despair.
