Su Xin sat beside Chen Wen all night, and only when dawn broke did she stand up and walk towards the Shang family home.
She stood in front of the Shang family's door, knocked, and said, "My mother is dead."
Announcing a death early in the morning is considered extremely unlucky for the family.
Aunt Zhang opened the door with a dark expression and said, "Whatever it is, we'll talk about it when it's light." Then she was about to close the door.
Su Xin stepped onto the threshold, coldly looking at Aunt Zhang, and said, "According to the village rules..."
Are you threatening me?
Su Xin smiled provocatively, "So what if it is?"
She set the rules, and if she's willing to follow them, then they're the rules; if she's unwilling, then they're nothing.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Aunt Zhang's face was more gloomy than ever before, as if she could take Su Xin's life if she uttered a single wrong word.
"Live on," Su Xin said, enunciating each word clearly.
Only by surviving will she have a chance to take revenge.
Only by surviving can she seek justice for her mother.
Aunt Zhang suddenly smiled and said calmly, "You should go back first."
As long as she doesn't cause trouble, Aunt Zhang doesn't mind having another frail girl in the village.
After all, there are just too many single people in the village.
But Su Xin didn't leave. She just stood in front of Aunt Zhang's house, frowning. After a long while, she finally asked, "Where's Su Qian?"
Her mother was considered an elder to Su Qian, and now that her mother has passed away, Su Qian should show some respect.
Mentioning Su Qian, Aunt Zhang immediately became alert, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "What do you want with A-Qian?"
"My mother died, shouldn't she, as a junior, keep vigil?"
Just then, Su Qian rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, still a little dazed. "Auntie, I'm hungry."
Upon seeing Su Qian, Aunt Zhang's expression immediately changed. She affectionately took Su Qian's hand and led her to the well, wrung out a towel for her, and said, "Wash your face first, then we can eat right away."
"Oh." Su Qian quickly washed her face, feeling a bit more awake. Looking at Su Xin standing at the door, she frowned slightly, then looked at Aunt Zhang and asked, "Here to freeload?"
Hearing this, Su Xin blushed with embarrassment. She gritted her teeth and said defiantly, "Su Qian, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Even if she's starving right now, she can't back down!
(???_??)?
Aunt Zhang shook her head and said, "Her mother died, and she wants the village to lend a hand."
Su Qian paused slightly before continuing, "Burn it."
If they are not burned now, those who have died will turn into zombies tomorrow.
"Su Qian, don't go too far." Her mother is already dead, but they still won't let her go!
What kind of deep hatred could make her want to grind her mother's bones to dust?
At this moment, Su Xin didn't want anything but to grab a kitchen knife and tear Su Qian to pieces!
Su Qian was slightly taken aback, then smiled kindly: "You can't accept that?"
Then forget it.
Anyway, zombies will be everywhere starting tomorrow, so one more won't make a difference.
I just hope Su Xin is brave enough not to get herself into any trouble tomorrow.
"Ah Qian." Aunt Zhang straightened Su Qian's clothes and said, "You go in and eat first. Leave things here to me."
Su Qian nodded and headed towards the dining room.
But Su Xin would never agree to that. She forcefully pushed Aunt Zhang away, gritted her teeth, and looked at Su Qian, saying, "Su Qian, as a junior, shouldn't you be showing filial piety to my mother?"
Su Qian shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be like this."
Chen Wen isn't a proper elder, so what right does she have to expect her to fulfill her filial duties?
