"Hurry up, girl, you are pregnant. I know you are eager to save your brother, but you can't treat yourself like this. My old man has gone to see the child. Come and sit down."
Then he asked his son to put the stool he brought from home in front of Mu Jin.
Mu Jin thanked him, sat down on the stool softly, and handed the hairpin in her hand to the village head's wife.
"Auntie, your family are all good people. You saved my brother's life today. Please take this hairpin."
"You little girl, what are you talking about? Life is not easy in this world. Today, I saw that you and your brother were pitiful, so I helped you. It's just a few sips of water, why do you need such a valuable thing? Put it away quickly and keep it for yourself. Don't let anyone stare at you."
As he said this, he pushed the hairpin back and glanced at the crowd.
Mu Jin looked up and saw that the villagers were all looking at her curiously. Most of them were curious about what happened, but there were still a few stares that made people feel uncomfortable.
Either staring at the hairpin in his hand, or looking at himself
Mu Jin stood up and looked at the woman holding the child beside the village chief's son. When she was stunned, she inserted the hairpin into the woman's hair.
"Sister-in-law, I guess you are the village chief's daughter-in-law. This hairpin looks really good on you."
Mu Jin had already figured out the relationship between these people clearly during her observations over the past few days.
Hearing this, the woman blushed slightly and looked at her husband. She saw her husband smiled and nodded at her.
"Li Niang, it looks good on you."
Hearing her husband's praise, the woman finally put her uneasy heart at ease.
Seeing that the hairpin had already been put on her daughter-in-law's head, Zhang didn't know what to say.
I found out what happened between Mu Jin and her brother, and why they ended up in this situation.
After a few days of observation, Mu Jin and Mu Bai found clothes of similar styles in the space, modified them, and made them low-key and not gorgeous, but you could tell they were made of good material when you touched them.
When Zhang was helping Mu Jin just now, she had already felt this good material. People are born to love gossip.
Seeing Mu Bai's good looks, she naturally knew how stunning Mu Jin was beneath her gray face. Knowing that she had to protect herself well, Zhang sighed and felt more pity for Mu Jin.
There were also curious people who came forward to see what was going on. Mu Jin lived up to everyone's expectations and told everyone about her tragic life story.
"My brother and I depended on each other for survival. Later, I married my husband and lived on a small island by the sea. My husband supported us by hunting and fishing in his spare time."
"Although we weren't very well off, my husband treated me very well. I had a poor appetite those few days, and he felt sorry for me, so he rowed a boat to a nearby town to get a doctor for me. But he never came back."
When talking about sad things, Mu Jin cooperated and cried.
Everyone patted Mu Jin's shoulders comfortingly.
"Big sister, what happened next?"
Although I couldn't bear it, I was still curious, so I asked a question
"My brother and I were worried, so we went to the town to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, it happened to be conscription at the time. My husband naturally refused to obey, and was stabbed in the neck. He fainted and was taken away."
"You said, he's just a peasant, how could he fight in a war? Not long after he went to the battlefield, I heard the news of his death. I refused to believe it. I fainted in excitement. When I woke up, I was diagnosed with pregnancy."
"After a few days of rest, my body gradually stabilized. My brother and I decided to go to that place to look for my husband. We thought that if he was dead, we would know by going there."
