"Sigh, I wonder if they'll be able to intercept the letter!"
"Such a troublesome thing!"
Mrs. Zeng sat on the kang, packing clothes while muttering resentfully.
Yuan Bao listened to her grandmother's complaints and her eyes darted as she had an idea.
"Mom, I'm hungry!"
Yuan Bao thought of a way to intercept the letter, but this matter needed to be handled well, and she couldn't pull it off as a little kid; she needed help.
Ideally, the best helper would be her little uncle.
But her little uncle had followed her father and eldest uncle into the city, so Yuan Bao had to find someone else.
This person could only be her mother.
Mrs. Xiao Li was originally helping Mrs. Zeng tidy things up. Upon hearing her daughter say she was hungry, before she could respond, Mrs. Zeng already shouted for her to go to the kitchen to get some food, as her darling granddaughter couldn't be starved.
Thus, Yuan Bao tricked her mother out of her grandmother's room.
"Mom, go to the city!"
