How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 84 - 85: Moving Out

Chapter 84: Chapter 85: Moving Out
Little Yuan originally had two hundred thousand in the card she pulled out, but she knew her aunt too well. She knew her aunt would be unsatisfied and would definitely raise her asking price.
That’s why she initially said one hundred fifty thousand. The progression of events unfolded just as she had expected.
Startled by the sudden smile on Little Yuan’s face, her aunt almost thought Little Yuan intended to take revenge on her. And when she heard Little Yuan agree to her price, she couldn’t react for a moment.
"What?"
Little Yuan maintained her smile and repeated, "Okay. I said okay, Aunt."
Her aunt sprang up from the sofa, "Really?!"
Little Yuan once again sighed in her heart: Her aunt’s agility was even better than her own.
"Really. You sign, and the money is yours."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, where’s the pen? I’ll sign!" Her aunt urged impatiently.
Watching her aunt’s eager expression, Little Yuan suddenly asked, "Aunt, did you really never consider me as your own child?"
Her aunt paused in her signing motion but still smoothly finished signing her name.
At that moment, she also smiled brightly, "How could that be? I’ve always considered you as my own child, just like Xiao Ning."
Little Yuan softly countered, "Really?"
But her tone was one of certainty.
She actually didn’t need to ask this question, but she was unwilling to let it go. Perhaps the bond wasn’t as deep as a blood relationship, but how could her aunt consider selling her for money?
Forget it, this is over now. From now on, we’re strangers if we meet again.
"Aunt, there’s twenty thousand in this card, the password is your birthday. It’s what I’ve saved over the years, all returned to you. I have no money now, and since you’ve signed this consent form, don’t contact me again. Let’s be strangers if we meet in the street."
Her aunt gleefully picked up the card from the coffee table and carelessly waved her hand. Now that she had the money, who cared whom Little Yuan acknowledged on the street, as long as the money was hers.
"Got it, got it."
Seeing her aunt’s greed for money, Little Yuan shook her head, having long since had no expectations of her.
"I’ll go upstairs to pack my things and take them with me today. There’s no need to come back here anymore."
"Fine, fine, fine! Hurry up and go!" After speaking, she felt something wasn’t right and quickly added, "No, wait a moment, I’ll go with you to make sure you only take your things and not anything from my house."
Little Yuan glanced at her aunt, still holding the bank card, and walked towards the small room in the furthest part of the house.
This was originally a storage room, small and dark, without ventilation. But it was also Little Yuan’s "bedroom" for almost four years. Should she be grateful that her aunt’s house had provided her a room?
Little Yuan approached the door to the small room, gently turned the handle, and the full view of the small room was revealed to her.
The layout was the same, but there were many more items that did not belong to her.
Well, it was originally a storage room.
Little Yuan entered and pulled a fairly large suitcase from under the makeshift bed.
Knowing her aunt would definitely ask about the suitcase’s origins, Little Yuan explained in advance, "I bought this suitcase when I went to college. I just brought it back during the holidays. Rest assured, I didn’t spend your money on it."
Her aunt touched her nose, said nothing, and continued to stand aside watching Little Yuan without any intention to help.
Little Yuan took less than half an hour to pack almost everything.
Over a decade, the belongings of Little Yuan in this home didn’t even fill a large suitcase.
That’s quite sad too.
Her aunt had been watching for a long time and, noticing that Little Yuan indeed hadn’t taken anything from her house, nodded in satisfaction and spoke to hurry her out: "Everything’s packed up, so hurry and leave."
Little Yuan didn’t respond to her aunt’s words; she merely turned to look at the room once more before opening the door and stepping out of the room.
Then, she left her aunt’s house without looking back.
From now on, she no longer had a home! But she no longer owed anyone anything either.
As for how her uncle yelled at her aunt’s shortsightedness when he returned home, unable to bear it...
And Xiao Ning felt a deep sense of shame regarding her mother’s actions. For so many years, she witnessed how her parents treated Little Yuan.
But she was powerless to help Little Yuan; if her parents found out she secretly helped Little Yuan, they would certainly curse her.
But how could she assume her parents would scold her without even attempting to help Little Yuan?
This person, too, was selfishly motivated, much like her parents.
However, she could not endure her mother’s plan to "sell" Little Yuan, so she informed Little Yuan about it in advance.
But she had no regrets; even if her mother would blame her when she returned home, she would accept it. After all, they were sisters who grew up together. No way she could watch her get pushed into the fire pit.
"Short-sighted woman! Did twenty thousand move your heart?! Do you know she can earn twenty thousand now, what about later? She’ll only earn more in the future! Do you even know what kind of money tree you’ve eradicated?!"
Her uncle, unable to stand this self-directed woman, shouted angrily.
Her aunt was also intimidated by his appearance and mumbled, "But she threatened me then..."
"Said what?! Don’t you have a brain! I already told you not to introduce that man who drove his wife away to her, how could you be so obstinate! She’s so capable of making money now and would forget your kindness over a small profit by shoving her into the fire pit!"
Her aunt couldn’t bear being scolded by her husband, and she retaliated:
"Small profit? Have you ever earned such money? If it weren’t for relying on the government aid for Little Yuan, we wouldn’t be able to live here! Rely on you?! How many years would it take to save up a dowry for our daughter?"
Her uncle was suddenly rendered speechless by his wife. When he came to, his wife and daughter were already hugging and crying.
Her uncle found it unbearable; it had been like this for years! Every time when they argued and he couldn’t prevail, this woman would hug their daughter and cry! He was truly fed up!
With a "slam," her uncle stormed out, leaving her aunt and Xiao Ning awkwardly embracing.
Watching her father slam the door and leave, Xiao Ning gently pushed her mother away. Looking at her mother, whose face was already marked with pronounced wrinkles, she softly said, "Mom, you shouldn’t have done that."
After saying that, Xiao Ning also pushed open the door and left.
The whole house was left with just her aunt alone.
Her aunt could come to terms with her husband not understanding her. But her daughter’s lack of understanding drove her to collapse.
She did everything clearly for their good, so why did she become the sinner here?!
Little Yuan, who had already left, didn’t know about the melodrama happening in her aunt’s house after she left.
At that moment, she had already broken free from the chains of the past and was moving toward a new life.
