Widow Song said this, but she didn't believe it in her heart.
They have been out for so long, and so many gentlemen have gone out to look for food but can’t bring back much. And they still want to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks?
It's a daydream.
Su Man ignored Widow Song's disdain and turned to the village chief. "Then please, village chief, and all the elders and villagers present here, bear witness for me. Today, my family in my mother's family is afraid that I will eat their food, so they have severed ties with me. So from today on, I will no longer call Wang Laoliu's family mom and dad, and they will just treat me as if I don't exist. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Laoliu's family all looked unhappy, simply because they felt that Su Man's words were too straightforward and unpleasant.
But the surrounding villagers disagreed. They didn't want Wang Man themselves, and it was they who asked them to sever ties with them. Although it was a bit heartless, it was understandable.
Since the village chief was invited to witness it, he also symbolically asked Aunt Wang Liu, "Aunt Wang Liu, do you agree?"
Seeing that she could get rid of Su Man and the Zhou family's burden, Aunt Wang Liu no longer cared about her reserve and nodded quickly, "I agree, I agree."
"Okay, then Wang Man has nothing to do with you from now on."
Wang Laoliu's family all breathed a sigh of relief, except Su Man, who nodded and thanked him, "Thank you, Village Chief."
After Su Man and the others sat down, Wang Tiedan came over with a small bag of corn and said, "Auntie, this is what my father gave you."
Su Man was stunned. Although this small bag only weighed one kilogram, it was no exaggeration to say that it was as valuable as gold during the famine years.
Wang Tiedan's father sat in the corner, silently sharpening his knife, as if he was not the one giving the rice.
In addition to Wang Tiedan's father, several other families also sent food.
One family gave four or five fruits, and another family gave a small handful of soybeans.
These were all the money they saved from their teeth. When Uncle Wang handed the fruit to Su Man, he licked his hands because the fragrance of the fruit was still on them.
Su Man was reluctant to take it, but Fourth Uncle Wang insisted on giving it to her, "Girl, don't be disgusted by the small amount of food. You are all girls, and it is not easy to find food. Eat sparingly."
"Why."
Su Man agreed, thinking to herself that she must repay these kind people.
...
Because Su Man said there were bandits on the main road, the villagers moved their camp to a more secluded place. The reason they hadn't left yet was because the village chief's grandson hadn't been found, and Wang Laoliu's injuries had worsened, so they took advantage of the water source to rest for two days.
But today is the last day. If they can't wait any longer, they will have to continue heading south.
Being with people in the village makes me feel much safer than fighting alone.
The ground was cold, so Wang Tiedan's father asked Wang Tiedan to send them a bed and quilt, and other villagers also brought straw to spread on the ground to keep them cool.
Su Man thanked them one by one. After they had packed up and sat down against the tree, Grandma Zhou took Su Man's hand and asked her.
"Man girl, how did you get out of the bandit's den?"
"Grandma, that bad woman..."
Zhou Pingping had just started to speak when Su Man looked back at her. She shrank her neck and dared not speak.
