Amidst everyone's gazes that seemed to want to tear her apart, July calmly took a sip of rice soup.
"What? You didn't feel selfish when you gave me porridge, but I'm selfish if I eat an extra piece of braised pork?"
"How can it be the same?" Wang Yinhua said, "What you took away was meat, meat! We finally had a chance to eat meat, and now it's all in your bowl. I don't care, you have to give it to me."
After hearing what Wang Yinhua said, Sheng Guangyao stood up without saying a word and snatched his sister's bowl. Sheng Qiyue sneered and smashed the bowl in his hand against the wall.
"Bang!" The sound of a bowl breaking.
Sheng Qiyue was not satisfied with smashing the bowl, so she overturned the dining table. With a loud crackling sound, all the food on the table fell to the ground, and no one had to eat.
While everyone was stunned, July quickly hid in her room and blocked the door with a cabinet.
"Ahhhh - Sheng Qiyue, I'm going to kill you!" The door was slammed loudly, and Wang Yinhua was cursing outside.
"Come out, Sheng Qiyue, come out!" Sheng Guangyao's voice.
Wang Erniu and Wang Yougen also had gloomy expressions. Ye said to them with some uneasiness, "There's still some meat in the kitchen. I'll go make some meat porridge."
Wang Erniu nodded: "Qiyue is a little emotional, let her stay in there for a few days to reflect on herself."
Ye said, "I'll listen to you."
July didn't open the door, and the noise outside gradually calmed down. She changed her skirt and lay on the bed thinking about her future plans.
In her previous life, she attempted suicide in the lake but didn't die. She was pulled back by Ye. Wang Yougen took advantage of her weakness and tried to defile her. She tried her best to knock him out and escaped.
She rushed to the provincial capital overnight, taking the token of love to find her fiancé Lu Xingyun, but was driven out by his mother, who also notified Ye and Wang Erniu to arrest her.
"Xing Yun's Autumn Examination is approaching. If he marries a vixen like you, who has no moral integrity, how can he concentrate on the imperial examinations in the future?"
Qiyue didn't understand why she was acting so strangely. She was just a little prettier. Was it necessary for Lu's mother to treat her like an enemy?
After leaving Lu's house, she met the gangsters hired by Lou Xinlanhua, and was then rescued by He Wenmao and entered his backyard.
July thought she could continue on the path she had in her previous life.
The Lu family looked down on her, so she would cut off ties with them to avoid future disputes. As for He Wenmao, she was just a village girl, and it would be difficult for her to reach people of his level on her own, so she might as well go with the flow.
As for Lou Xinlan, she would no longer accept anything from her, be it food or anything else.
I'm a little hungry.
Qiyue thought of the adventure before her rebirth and tentatively muttered to herself, "Treasure capsule."
A yellow bag suddenly appeared in her hand. She was startled and, trying to throw it away, took a deep breath and fumbled with the bag in her arms.
Apart from pills, nothing edible was found.
She sighed.
Thinking that she would be leaving in the evening, and thinking about the ten taels of silver deposit given by the official and the hardships she had experienced when she first entered the rear house, Sheng Qiyue made a decision in her heart.
The property and compensation left by her father added up to more than twenty taels. She counted on her fingers and found that she had ten taels and Sheng Guangyao had ten taels. Since Ye had remarried into the Wang family, it would not be too much for the Wang family to support her, right?
Adding the ten taels of silver from selling her body, July decided to steal at least twenty taels of silver.
What if she leaves and the master comes looking for her?
Don't we still have ten taels of silver at home? Just return the money you took from the official.
Look, she is so kind that she never thought of killing everyone.
In the main room, Ye had cooked porridge. This time, no one called Sheng Qiyue out. After they finished eating and left, Qiyue tried to open the door, but found that it could not be opened.
There were still some malt sugar and candied fruits in the room that she had stored when Sheng's father was around. July didn't save them and put them all into her mouth, quietly waiting for the night to come.
At night, in order to save lamp oil, the five people went to bed after dinner. In the middle of the night, July heard the sound of a door being unlocked outside. With the help of the moonlight outside the window, he hid behind the door with a stick in his hand.
The stick was given to her by Sheng's father for self-defense. His daughter was so beautiful, what if someone had bad intentions towards her? Now it came in handy.
With a "click", Wang Yougen pushed the door open quietly. Thinking of what he was going to do next, his breathing became rapid.
Just as he closed the door, July hit him hard on the back of the head with a stick.
Before he could react to what was happening, his body collapsed limply.
July put on her packed bag, opened the door carefully and walked out, her movements so light that no sound was made.
She came to the tree in the yard, gently moved a large vat on it, then squatted down and carefully lifted the wooden board covering the ground, revealing a small clay pot embedded in the ground.
Looking at the dark mouth of the small clay jar in the night, July swallowed nervously, wondering if there were toads or centipedes making their home inside?
Wang Yougen might wake up soon. She gritted her teeth, mustered up her courage, and reached in with trembling hands.
Fortunately, there were no strange things inside except silver and money, and no mice, ants or the like.
July took out all the silver and counted it.
Wow, the total amount was thirty-five taels and six cents, which was more than she expected.
July left ten taels of silver and put the rest in his bag and took it away, then rushed to the provincial capital under the cover of night.
Her village was not far from the provincial capital. She covered her face with a headscarf, rented a carriage, and arrived at the provincial capital at noon the next day.
At this time, she was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.
July ate a bowl of wontons on the street and finally felt less hungry. He knocked on the door of the Lu family according to his memory.
