That woman was indeed a relative of the Mo family, Old Madam Mo's younger sister, Zhou Qionghua!

However, she had aged considerably by now. If Su Nanxi hadn't carefully examined her and looked around at the people behind her, she really wouldn't have recognized her!

It's only been a short time since I last saw them, and they've become so destitute!

His clothes were tattered and his hair was unkempt; anyone who didn't know better would mistake him for a member of the Beggars' Guild!

It seems they didn't fare well afterward!

They really look like refugees!

Su Nanxi sighed softly, nudged Mo Qinghe beside her, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "That's your aunt, do you still recognize her? Give me some feedback!"

Mo Qinghe moved his lips and said softly, "It's been so long since I've seen them, I don't really recognize them! I didn't recognize them at all! What should I do?"

Su Nanxi curled her lips, "Look at how much your aunt is crying, you should at least say hello!"

Mo Qinghe hummed in agreement.

Zhou Qionghua recognized Su Nanxi, but the others had a vague impression of her. She didn't remember them, and even the two Mo brothers who followed behind didn't recognize her very well.

But after looking at her a few more times, I recognized her. It's been so long since I've seen her, I can't blame her!

Besides, their clothes and appearance were very unusual; if they were walking on the street, she definitely wouldn't dare to recognize them!

What surprised her even more was that her nephew's wife could talk!

This left her with mixed feelings.

The Mo family is doing better and better. Even when they were fleeing famine, they didn't look too miserable. On the contrary, they were the ones who suffered a lot of heartache and bitterness.

Those who had fought with Zhou Qionghua's family panicked.

They never imagined that the other party had powerful connections and accomplices!

They looked so poor, I thought they were easy to bully. Such a thin and weak family, I could just beat them up. Anyway, no one dared to do anything. They were a family with many men, and they were not to be trifled with!

Don't underestimate them just because they're also refugees; they're actually better off than most people because they're shameless—or rather, they're incredibly capable!

Their family has many men, and they are all so strong. If they all stood out together, many people would be afraid!

They didn't have much stockpiled. What could they do? They were hungry and needed to eat. What were they going to do when they were almost out of food?

They have a way of doing things: they keep their own food for themselves and eat other people's!

Since they didn't know anyone on the street and it was so chaotic, nobody wanted to cause trouble and usually wouldn't meddle in other people's business. They saw this as an opportunity!

And so began the days of begging for food—yes, asking others for grain and money!

If they give you too little, just ask them to give you more. If they don't give you anything, well, let them taste the power of their fists!

The whole family is united, working together, and living a very comfortable life!

I'd rather let others go hungry than let myself go hungry!

They specifically target families with few people, few men, and many children, regardless of whether the family is willing or not; if they don't give, they'll just steal!

They grab what they want and run; nobody can catch them!

They eat well, are healthy, and run fast; you can't find them even if you want to fight them!

It worked every time, and once they tasted the sweetness of success, they couldn't stop!

Moreover, they also experienced the thrill of being strong, a sense of superiority that arose spontaneously from the fact that they were all very powerful and belonged to the upper class!

Today was no exception; it was the same way all the way.

They tightened their belts on their own grain, but when they took grain from others, they didn't discriminate as long as it was edible.

Because most people's food is roughly the same!

If there were flatbreads, that would be even better; they wouldn't have to prepare them and could just take them and eat them.

They hadn't originally intended to harm Zhou Qionghua's family, because they were too shabby and clearly didn't have anything of value. They didn't want to waste their energy only to end up with nothing to gain!

But I was so tired that I wanted to rest for a while, and I took advantage of this free time to find a good target to start with.

It happened to be right next to Zhou Qionghua's family.

Just then, Zhou Qionghua's family got hungry and took out some flatbread to eat.

Smelling such a delicious aroma, the child clamored to eat it immediately, and even praised the men. As a result, the men lost themselves, truly believing they were amazing, their vanity exploding, and they wanted to show off!

Zhou Qionghua's family was frugal with their food and drink, and they didn't have much stockpiled to begin with, so they were naturally willing to give it away.

When the men saw that Zhou Qionghua's family was so ungrateful, they started arguing, and the women even came over to help them, acting extremely arrogantly!

But Zhou Qionghua was determined to defend her interests to the death. They didn't have much food left to begin with. If they gave it all away, what would they eat next? If they couldn't find food, they would starve to death!

I absolutely cannot give it to you!

Everyone's family is struggling, so why do they have the audacity to come and ask for grain so openly? Who spoiled them!

If you want to be a robber, then go and occupy territory!

Zhou Qionghua was not to be outdone and retorted, "So you think you can bully them just because they're easy to bully? Then let's make a scene and let the people on the street see what kind of people they are!"

In fact, Zhou Qionghua knew that no one would help her, especially not someone who would resort to violence. Nobody wanted to cause trouble, so she couldn't afford to lose face and had to make a scene!

If they think they're easy to bully, then let them know that they're not easy to bully either!

One side wants to take it, the other won't give it up; unable to reach an agreement, a fight is inevitable.

Zhou Qionghua's family was no match for them. Even if they fought desperately, they still couldn't win!

If Su Nanxi and the others hadn't come, they probably would have all perished on this journey.

Those people were really ruthless, they were serious and forceful, relying on their height and size to swing their fists and bring them down heavily.

Seeing how ungrateful Zhou Qionghua's family was, he felt challenged and humiliated, so he wanted to conquer them with his fists!

Unfortunately, they've met their match today. No matter how powerful their punches are, they were easily knocked to the ground.

Su Nanxi raised her eyes, looked over coldly, and said lightly, "So it was you who tried to steal my aunt's pancakes?"

Those people trembled when they saw Su Nanxi's sweeping gaze. That gaze was terrifying, filled with icy coldness. It looked harmless, but it was extremely lethal!

Despite being an unattractive girl, she exuded a powerful aura that silenced them, and cold sweat trickled down their backs!

A voice inside me screamed, "Today's the end!"

It seems this can't be resolved peacefully. These people are clearly not to be trifled with; they're not people we can afford to mess with!

Oh no!

I didn't check the almanac before I went out. If I had known I would encounter such powerful people, they would have dared to act so arrogantly even if you beat them to death!

"Ah, that was a misunderstanding, yes, a misunderstanding! Hehe! We made a mistake! It was our fault, we can apologize!"

One of the men, presumably the leader, had a fawning smile on his face and seemed quite sincere.

Su Nanxi thought that smile was really ugly. If you can't smile, then don't smile. It's so ugly!

Why force yourself to do it?

And what about hitting someone and then just wanting to get away with it so easily?

What are you thinking about!

"Who among you has hit someone? That counts if you witnessed it, and oh, that counts if you insulted someone!"
