A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
"Your things? When did I take your things?" Old Mrs. Chen was very puzzled.
This woman is not only ugly, but could she also be blind?
It's like someone else is really interested in her things, as if they took them!
Su Nanxi glanced at Old Lady Chen's hand, her gaze clearly directed at her. "Look! What you're holding is mine! In the entire Changna Village, only our Mo family can make such beautiful bamboo-joint bowls. No one else can imitate them! What you're holding is our Mo family's bamboo-joint bowl, so tell me, isn't it mine?"
Old Mrs. Chen didn't really look closely at what was used to hold the sugar water; she was only focused on what was in the bowl. After realizing it was brown sugar water, she firmly believed that the brat had stolen it and brought it to the field to drink secretly!
Upon hearing this, she became a little unsure, as what she was holding in her hand seemed to really be a bowl made of bamboo!
Could it be that brat didn't steal it?
Was it given to her by the Mo family? Are the Mo family so kind that they'd give such a precious thing to that wretched girl to drink when they haven't even finished paying off their debts?
The claim of working to pay off debts is a lie, isn't it? The real reason is that they're colluding to deceive people and shirk their responsibilities, right?
That brat is truly cunning! She's even learned to team up with outsiders to deceive people! She's really grown quite capable!
Su Nanxi was speechless, rolling her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. She said irritably, "This is how the Mo family treats people. On such a hot day, a little sugar water is refreshing and keeps you awake so you don't get sleepy and mess things up! Everyone who works for the Mo family gets a share, and Chen Ahua is no exception! Enough with the nonsense, give the things back!"
Chen Ahua's expression was indifferent, revealing nothing, but in her heart she cursed Old Lady Chen to death, blaming her for stealing everything that went missing!
How ridiculous!
With so many people watching, how capable must she be to steal it? Do you think she's a master thief?
If she had that ability, she would have left this house and made her own way in the world long ago!
Seeing her drinking something nice, he tried to snatch it back, probably for his precious wife!
Pah! You're dreaming!
That sweet soup has lots of good stuff in it, can that fat pig afford it? Doesn't he worry about getting a nosebleed?
They do nothing all day long, eat like fat pigs, yet some people treat them like treasures!
Sigh! There's nothing we can do about it, she had several sons!
Old Mrs. Chen had no choice but to reluctantly put down the bowl she had snatched, and left grumbling and cursing!
That syrup smelled so good, you could tell it had some good stuff in it. It was so rich and concentrated; it was such a waste to give it to that brat! It would have been better to take it back to her!
That brat is really something. How dare she drink alone? Didn't she know to bring it back for her family to drink together?
Unfilial daughter!
I should have gulped it down as soon as I got it!
Oh dear! What a pity! It was almost in my hands, but I almost didn't get to eat it!
Seeing that Granny Chen had walked away, Granny Mo said to Chen Ahua, "Child, drink it quickly! Don't waste it!"
Chen Ahua nodded, said thank you, picked up the bowl, and drank.
She knew that the sweet soup was for her, and it contained medicinal herbs that were only suitable for her physical condition. Only she could drink it, and it would be a waste if she didn't.
She can't even afford to buy something this good, how could she allow it to go to waste! Drink! She has to drink it!
With nothing else to do, Su Nanxi went back. It was too hot at noon, so she told them to stay under the big tree at a high place, where they could see the situation in the fields below at a glance.
The others quickly agreed, and Su Nanxi didn't say anything more, turning around and going back.
The rest of the Mo family were waiting for the two of them to come back for dinner. After waiting for so long, everyone thought something had happened and was about to go out to check when they saw them return!
After hearing what had happened, everyone had nothing good to say about Old Lady Chen; she was shameless!
The Mo family hardly ever associates with Old Lady Chen's family, simply because they are quite eccentric!
"Alright! That's their business, we can't interfere! Let's eat first! No one's family matters can stop us from eating! Let's not let those trivial matters ruin our good mood!"
"Exactly! Eating comes first. What others do is none of our business. Just focus on doing our own thing! Let's eat!"
"right……"
The Mo family acted as if nothing had happened, and it all passed quickly.
However, there are some things and some people in the village who are saddened by them.
Ever since the village chief said that the Mo family originally had some good ways to help everyone make money, the villagers listened and remembered it deeply. However, because of some people's foul mouths, they lost these ways, and they have been feeling resentful and unwilling to accept it!
They were terrified of poverty and had an inexplicable obsession with money. No matter what, if there was a way to get money, as long as it was feasible, they would not let it go!
Don't let them hear it. If they hear it but can't do it, it's like being scratched by cat claws, so painful!
The villagers all blamed those few foul-mouthed people, but those foul-mouthed people felt they were right, saying that that's what people always said, and that it was true. This led to a big argument, and in the end, neither side could win the argument. They insisted on their own opinions and refused to back down!
"You promise your family will never need the Mo family's help again! How arrogant and stubborn you are!"
"We don't need their help! I've lived for decades, I'm half-buried in the ground, and I've still made it through, and I'm doing just fine now! I'll be fine in the future too! It's not like we can't survive without their help! Only you snobs would follow the stench of money!"
"Don't speak too confidently! Be careful not to bite your tongue! You need to think more about the younger generation. Do you want them to be as poor as you are? If there's a chance to turn things around, even the slightest chance, why not take a chance? Why are you only focused on what's right in front of you, clinging to those so-called rumors? You haven't become rich in all these decades!"
"Whether our descendants are doing well or not is none of your business! You just want the Mo family to help you make money, that's why you've come to us to argue and express your loyalty, we understand! But that's your business, what does it have to do with us! We don't need the Mo family's help, anyway, we still stand by what we said, we oppose divorced daughters returning to their parents' home and spreading bad luck to the village!"
"Incomprehensible! I think they're afraid it will be passed on to you! Bah! If it's going to be passed on, it should be to the Mo family first, how did it end up with you! Do you think you're some kind of hot commodity, only picking on you! She's been back at her parents' home for so long, and the Mo family is doing better and better!"
"We don't care! It's no use saying anything more, we just don't agree to let a divorced woman stay at her parents' home for too long!"
"Stubborn fools! Remember what we said today. You'd better burn incense and pray to Buddha for protection every day so that everything will always go smoothly for you! Otherwise, hmph! Don't blame us for being ruthless and targeting you!"
"We'll definitely have a smooth trip! You don't need to worry about us!"
They parted on bad terms.
After a few days of silence, some people couldn't hold back any longer. They felt that they could still try harder and maybe things would turn around. They were really unwilling to give up without taking a gamble!
"Mute girl, we just want to ask, are you still going to teach us that way of making money?"
