In the year of the great famine, there was not much food at Grandma Zhou's house, and it was all eaten in two days.
In order to eat less, they got rid of Grandma Zhou two days ago and lied to their two children that they had lost Grandma Zhou and took them to find her.
There were fewer people eating, but they still finished all their dry food.
I happened to meet a woodcutter today, so I planned to sell Zhou Pingping in exchange for some food.
Qin Mosheng didn't think much about it before he saw the scissors. But now that he saw Su Man hiding the scissors, he became suspicious. Could it be that she hid some food, so she suddenly stopped selling it to Zhou Pingping?
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. They had been walking together for seven or eight days, and he hadn't noticed that Wang Man had hidden the scissors.
It seems that Wang Man is hiding something from him.
It's already a certain time, and you're still scheming against your own people. How vulgar! This is what happens to people who have never read the books of sages.
Qin Mosheng wanted to teach Su Man to put others before himself, but as a scholar, he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say, "In times of such danger, we are destined to be companions if we share the same path. As the ancients said, a single thread cannot make a line, and a single tree cannot make a forest. In troubled times, we must be united in heart and mind and not hide anything. Do you understand?"
Su Man pretended to understand something and said, "I see."
Qin Mosheng nodded, "The boy is teachable. In that case, then your bag..."
"You're right. Since we are of the same mind, I'd better find my mother-in-law."
"What is it?"
Qin Mosheng reacted, "What do you want to see Madam Zhou for?"
Su Man looked innocent. "You said it, a single thread cannot make a line, a single tree cannot make a forest. Thinking about how we abandoned mother-in-law halfway, I feel guilty. When I heard you say that just now, it suddenly dawned on me that I had some ulterior motive in this matter, so I am being condemned by my conscience."
"I did not mean that..."
"Don't say it, I know, you mean we should go back and look for it now."
Su Man didn't give Qin Mosheng any chance to quibble. She shouted to the Zhou brothers and sisters and started looking in the direction where Grandma Zhou was abandoned.
When Zhou Anan and Zhou Pingping heard that they were going to look for grandma, they turned back without saying a word.
Qin Mosheng didn't know that Su Man did it on purpose. He really thought that he had said something wrong, and kept chasing Su Man to tell her that life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of God, and there is no need to be bound by the physical body. Grandma Zhou sacrificed her life for her grandchildren and had achieved her own perfection, so she should not bother him anymore.
No matter how much Qin Mosheng talked, Su Man didn't even look at him.
After studying for a few years, I really think I am a saint, but I am just using those nonsense to cover up the most filthy desires in my heart.
Su Man walked while searching for Grandma Zhou.
In fact, Wang Man and Qin Mosheng's plan to get rid of Grandma Zhou was not very clever. The reason why it was successful was that Grandma Zhou deliberately facilitated it.
Ever since there was not enough food, Grandma Zhou had been intentionally reducing her food intake, and when they sent her away with excuses, she left without hesitation.
But before leaving, she called out with tears in her eyes, "Daughter-in-law..."
In the end, he stopped talking and turned around and resolutely walked into the woods to look for the fruit that was impossible to find.
Grandma Zhou was not unaware of Wang Man's plan, but she had no choice. Her old arms and legs could not do anything and she could only pray to God that everything would go well for the children after she was gone.
