I Became a Sugar Mama to an Ancient General during a Famine! - Chapter 15 Part 1

Ye Mumu smiled deeply upon seeing Zhan Chengyin’s letter.

A simple tablet, with most functions removed, had astonished the ancients so much that they called it a divine miracle.

Ye Mumu replied,「An iPad, also called a tablet computer, is a common electronic device in modern life. It has a camera function. Explore it slowly and send me photos of the city’s environment so I know what you’re lacking.」

Ye Mumu considered that while using modern cement methods to build walls would be ideal, if barbarian tribes attacked quickly, the ancients could immediately use sticky rice, lime, and sand to build walls. Cement construction would require learning first. She decided to purchase and send a batch of sticky rice and lime as soon as possible. The city walls needed to be repaired first…

「Thank you, god. Could you also send some charcoal? All the trees in city have been consumed. We’re now burning wood from demolished houses to boil porridge.」

Ye Mumu understood well. She could imagine the barren city, scorched red as far as the eye could see.

She agreed to send supplies. Today’s procurement mission was substantial. She moved a vase to the passenger seat of her pickup truck, secured it with ropes, and fastened the seatbelt.

As she drove out of the villa’s gate, someone suddenly rushed out to block her car. She saw it was her aunt and grandmother.

She slammed on the brakes, breathing heavily with sweat beading on her forehead.

That was close – she almost hit them!

Her aunt and grandmother stood in front of the car, glaring at her hatefully. Her 70-something grandmother’s eyes flashed with hostility, looking at Ye Mumu as if she were an enemy.

“You bearer of bad luck! You caused my son’s death, and now you’ve gotten my eldest grandson arrested. Come with us to the police station right now to withdraw the charges!”

Ye Mumu was furious. Since birth, her grandmother had despised her for being a girl due to favoring males. More than once, her grandmother had urged her father to give all his assets to Ye Mumu’s male cousin, the first grandson of the Ye family.

A few days ago, her cousin and Mr. Wang were arrested. Reporters broke the news of Mr. Wang and her cousin’s attempted kidnapping of Ye Mumu on the street. It made local headlines.

Chang Wang Group quickly issued a statement that Mr. Wang was not a shareholder and held no position in the group. The Ye family had been deceived by Mr. Wang’s talk of an enormous bride price.

After Mr. Wang’s arrest, his son came to make trouble daily, demanding the Ye family give an explanation.

Her aunt and grandmother hated Ye Mumu bitterly, leading to this scene of blocking her car at the complex entrance. Her uncles guarded the other three gates.

Seeing Ye Mumu unmoved, the old woman grew angry. She raised her cane and struck Ye Mumu’s car hood violently.

Bang! Bang!

The heavy off-road vehicle emitted harsh clanging sounds.

Her aunt pounded on the car window. “Get out! Come with us to the police station to withdraw the charges right now, or you’ll never be allowed back into the Ye family home! We’ll have the old lady remove you from the family genealogy…”

Ye Mumu lowered the window and coldly regarded her hysterical aunt.

“Go ahead. Remove me from the genealogy. You think I care? The IOUs your family wrote to my father are with me. The houses and cars you own were all bought with my father’s money. Return it all to me. After 10-20 years, the interest isn’t small. If you can’t repay, your whole family can go to jail!”

As far back as Ye Mumu could remember, every time she and her parents returned to their homecity for New Year’s, her mother would be cursed by her grandmother as a hen that couldn’t lay eggs.

Her grandmother repeatedly urged her father to divorce her mother and marry a woman who could bear sons!

Ye Mumu was called a money-losing good and a little bastard by her grandmother!

She was bullied by her cousins. They used firecrackers to blow up her hat, nearly deafening her. They pushed her into the road, almost getting her run over by a car.

The worst incident was on New Year’s Eve, when Ye Xin pushed her down the stairs in front of the whole clan. She was instantly knocked unconscious and lay in the hospital for three days before waking up.

That day, her mother slapped her father hard and made a huge scene about divorcing him! If they didn’t divorce, she’d kill his whole family!
