Chen Qianshan looked up, seemingly gazing at the sky, or perhaps trying to suppress something. He chuckled self-deprecatingly a few times, then said firmly, "I've severed ties with them!"

He blinked hard a few times, pursed his lips, and continued, "As the saying goes, 'As long as the mother is at home, the family is scattered; when the mother leaves, the family falls apart!' Now that my mother is gone, all ties are severed, and all grudges are gone. From now on, we're strangers! They never treated us well, and now all they want to do is squeeze us dry! I, Chen Qianshan, don't need any more leech ancestors! Everyone looks out for themselves! I just want to take care of my wife and daughter!"

This is quite clear; everyone understands what Chen Qianshan means.

Su Nanxi asked calmly, "Are you sure you don't want to help them? They might die on the way because of this!"

The village chief felt a lump in his throat upon hearing this, and he didn't know what to say.

Chen Qianshan scoffed, "If you want to help people, you have to be capable first. I'm weak, I can't even take care of my wife and daughters, how can I help others! They're not disabled, they're in their fifties or sixties, they haven't figured out life yet, that's their fate! Being kind to them would be cruel to my wife and daughters! They won't stop, they'll make my family ruined and still not be satisfied!"

The village chief sighed heavily; that was indeed the case.

The other villagers in Changna Village knew the Chen family very well, so they agreed with what Chen Qianshan said and didn't want those few members of the Chen family to get involved!

Those people are incredibly lazy, they don't stockpile anything, they're penniless, and now they're eagerly coming to Chen Qianshan just to find a long-term free meal ticket so they don't starve to death!

I thought they couldn't see through it!

This isn't an ordinary day; this is famine relief! Just kidding!

There was hardly any food or water on the road. Those people from the Chen family had sneaked in just to freeload!

If they finish eating and drinking at Chen Qianshan's house, and then start making a ruckus again, this group will fall apart sooner or later!

The Mo family took pity on Chen Qianshan and provided him with some assistance. If Chen Qianshan still can't see the truth, then he's truly beyond saving.

Fortunately, Chen Qianshan's brain hasn't been damaged by the fever; he's still functional!

If Tao were to lose the Mo family's support, things would be very difficult for him!

Tao is pregnant and in such poor health, she probably won't be able to walk for more than a few days!

This can't be blamed on the Mo family; there are still members of the Mo family who didn't get to ride in the car!

If Chen Qianshan accepts those people, then he will be going against the Mo family's path!

Su Nanxi watched coldly, and finally asked, "Do you resent me for forcing you to answer?"

Chen Qianshan was taken aback for a moment. "This has nothing to do with you, so why would we blame you? It's a conflict between me and them, and I can tell the difference. You didn't interrogate me; you just analyzed it for me and let me make a choice! None of my family will blame you! You've helped us so much; we're more than grateful to you! How could we blame you?"

In the end, Chen Qianshan didn't go to the back to find the Chen family members.

Others who knew about it didn't say anything; they themselves didn't have the ability, nor did they want to get involved with those shameless scoundrels.

Chen Ahua was extremely worried. She was afraid that her father would lose his temper and insist on dragging those people into the mess, disregarding her and her mother.

She must hate him to death!

Fortunately, what she feared didn't happen, but her father did something that chilled Su Su's heart.

My dad is heartbroken, but who told him to have such a heartless brother!

That can't be changed; he'll have to change and adapt on his own!

Those people aren't children who need to be raised. They're all grown up and should be responsible for their actions!

Chen Ahua broke out in a cold sweat, feeling extremely frightened. Her mother couldn't have withstood that much stress!

If the Mo family doesn't let them ride in the car, they'll lose their protection, and who knows how they'll survive the rest of the year!

She didn't dare to hate Su Nanxi. Su Nanxi hadn't done anything wrong; everyone just made different choices!

Chen Ahua knew perfectly well that the Mo family didn't have extra seats; those seats were deliberately given to them.

The village chief couldn't concern himself with all that; it was all a personal choice, and once a choice was made, one had to bear the consequences.

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

They don't want to put in any effort or money, they just want to enjoy themselves and let others bear all the burdens. They must still be dreaming.

Although he is the village chief, he is not the mother of those people in the Chen family, so he wouldn't be able to care about so many things.

He has said and done everything he needed to say; the rest is not his concern.

The Chen family members were not going to give up so easily. Even though no one paid them any attention, they followed closely behind.

The people behind us are from other villages, and we don't know them well, so we won't tolerate them.

It's very easy to find out about the Chen family. The people from Changna Village are just ahead; you only need to ask around to find out!

After learning about the situation, those people looked down on the Chen family members and gave them a very unfriendly look!

What kind of people are they?!

It's disgusting!

How dare you come along? You have such a thick skin!

If it were them, they would have just smashed their heads against a wall and died!

a shame!

While reluctant to leave the group, the Chen family members grumbled and cursed behind them. Whenever they opened their mouths, they would bring up the place where they had been beaten, but they didn't dare to curse loudly, so they cursed in a low voice!

Anyway, it never stopped, it kept muttering to itself!

Nobody paid any attention to them, and they felt quite satisfied, even believing they were right as they continued to curse!

It was all the Mo family's doing that prevented Chen Qianshan from acknowledging them and from reuniting with them; they just couldn't stand to see them doing well!

The Mo family has such a large cartload of food, they can't possibly finish it all, so why can't they share some with them?

The richer you are, the stingier and more heartless you become!

It feels good to yell at them, but they get annoyed very quickly.

Because my mouth is so dry, I have no water to drink!

Swearing is a waste of breath!

Su Nanxi slapped him hard, then let them curse at her.

She knew that even more satisfying revenge was yet to come!

"Big brother, big brother! Hehe! Chen Qianshan in front is my third brother. His whole family rides in the Mo family's car! I'm very thirsty now. Do you have any water? Give me some! I'll ask my third brother in the back and give you a bamboo tube in return!"

Old Chen was so thirsty he couldn't stand it anymore; his throat was practically burning. He shamelessly went to ask the villagers behind him for water.

No, I mean, I want to borrow water!

At this time, water and gold are extremely precious and cannot be obtained!

Borrowing it won't be that easy!

They didn't see any water anywhere they passed, and they only had a limited amount of water on them. Only a fool would lend out their water!

What kind of people are these Chen family members? They lend money out and expect it to be returned?

Don't even think about it!

"Really! I keep my word. I'll definitely return a bamboo tube of water to you, the sweetest water ever! Don't be so stingy, just give me a couple of sips to soothe my throat!"

When Chen Laoda saw that no one was willing to lend him the money, he started pestering people, but still no one was willing to pay attention to him.

He got angry when no one gave him anything and went up to pull at them.

"Get out! You'll have to pay me back for tearing my clothes! Go find yourself a drink of water!"
