Widow Song also joined in. She pointed at Zhou Anan's nose and cursed, "Our Mo Sheng is going to be the top scholar in the future. How dare you, a jerk with no father, come here and talk nonsense!"
In order to please her future mother-in-law, Wang Xiuxiu became even more arrogant. "That's right, everyone knows how your aunt treats you. It's likely that your aunt wants to sell you out, and she actually wants to put the blame on Brother Mo Sheng."
"you..."
Zhou Anan was just a child after all, and she was so angry at the two of them bullying her that her lips began to tremble.
Grandma Zhou didn't want to make things too awkward at first, but when she heard Widow Song talking about Zhou Anan having no parents, her face darkened.
"Qin family, we are all from the same village, there is no need to speak so harshly. My Zhou family may not have studied as much as you, but we also know what to say and what not to say. Although An An is young, she is not a liar. As the elders, you can talk to her in a nice way. There is no need to do this."
Although she was angry, Grandma Zhou still gave them some face and didn't say anything too harsh. But Widow Song refused to take the blame and kept pinching her waist while raising her voice higher and higher.
"What's wrong with me? You were the ones who started talking nonsense. Everyone knows that my Mo Sheng has a noble character. How can you slander him?"
Qin Mosheng listened from the side. He coughed lightly, straightened his back, and put on the appearance of a gentleman as bright as the moon and refreshing breeze. "Mother, the ancients said that a gentleman's heart is boundless, and his heart can hold the flow of a hundred rivers. I will not argue with the elderly, the weak, women, and children. No matter what they say, I am clear-minded."
This talkative look attracted Wang Xiuxiu's admiring gaze. She stared at Qin Mosheng with her face flushed.
In the past, Wang Xiuxiu had a secret crush on Qin Mosheng in the village and often helped them and their son. In her heart, she was already half a daughter-in-law of the Qin family.
Seeing that her future husband was so tolerant and generous, Wang Xiuxiu was even happier.
In order to match Qin Mosheng, Wang Xiuxiu also began to nitpick, "Since Brother Mosheng doesn't care, then let this matter go. If anyone dares to slander Brother Mosheng again in the future, I will not forgive them lightly."
Grandma Zhou wanted to stand up for Zhou Anan, but if she wanted to join the village team, she needed the support of the village chief. It was not easy for her to refute Wang Xiuxiu's words, but if she said nothing, wouldn't it mean that she believed Zhou Anan was talking nonsense?
Just when Grandma Zhou was in a dilemma, a clear female voice interrupted.
"Then tell the truth, and there won't be any problem."
Everyone turned around and saw the person coming. Grandma Zhou couldn't believe her eyes. She was afraid that she was old and blurry and had seen wrongly, so she rubbed her eyes several times.
"grandmother!"
Zhou Pingping flew over and threw herself into Grandma Zhou's arms.
"Ping Ping!"
Grandma Zhou hugged Zhou Pingping tightly, tears streaming down her wrinkled face.
"younger sister!"
Zhou Anan couldn't believe it when she saw Zhou Pingping. She pulled Zhou Pingping to look at her and said, "It's really you!"
Seeing Su Man covered in blood, Grandma Zhou didn't care about anything else. She took Su Man's hand and asked, "Man girl, where are you injured? Why are you bleeding so much?"
Afraid that Grandma Zhou would be anxious, Su Man quickly explained, "This is not my blood, it belongs to the bandits."
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers looked at each other in surprise.
Bandit's?
When did Wang Man become so skilled that she could emerge from the bandit's lair unscathed?
Su Man's gaze turned around and when it met Qin Mosheng, Qin Mosheng immediately avoided her gaze, with a flash of guilt on his face.
Zhou Anan let go of Zhou Pingping and moved closer to Su Man, saying awkwardly, "Auntie, you, are you not hurt?"
Although he didn't look directly at Suman, the concern on his face was not fake.
Su Man smiled and wanted to pinch his face, but when she raised her hand, it was covered in blood, so she put it down again.
"Of course, your aunt is very powerful."
Perhaps it was because Su Man had just killed someone and the evil spirit was too strong, so Widow Song and Wang Xiuxiu, who had been harassing her just now, fell silent.
Su Man looked at Qin Mosheng and said, "I heard that we dumped you, didn't we?"
Qin Mosheng choked and moved his neck uncomfortably. "A real man wouldn't dwell on these trivial matters. There's no need to mention them anymore."
"But I wanted to mention it."
Su Man smiled and said, "You said you were looking for food and were left behind by us. Then I want to ask you, why did you take our baggage when you left?"
"What baggage?"
Qin Mosheng played dumb. "Mrs. Zhou, please don't gossip. It's obvious that there's not enough food, and you're deliberately looking for an opportunity to get rid of me in order to save rations. Even if you tell the truth, no one will blame you. There's no need to lie."
"That's right."
Wang Xiuxiu and Widow Song couldn't sit still anymore, and they joined in the discussion one after another.
"Our Mo Sheng is a top scholar, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography. How dare you, a crude country woman, slander our Mo Sheng!"
Widow Song was only concerned with attacking Su Man, but she forgot that those present were what she called country women. When she said this, the young girls and wives in the village all looked cold.
Su Man was happy, "Okay, you didn't take my bag, right?"
She quickly pulled off a piece of white jade hanging from Qin Mosheng's waist and asked, "Where did you get this?"
Qin Mosheng's face turned pale. Oh no, he forgot about this piece of jade.
At that time, he took Su Man's bag and wanted to throw it away, but suddenly he found a piece of jade in it. Thinking that he could exchange it for some silver in the future, he hung it on his body. He didn't expect that Su Man would point it out at this moment.
At the same time, everyone recognized Suman's jade.
