Su Man turned her gaze to Qin Mosheng again, "And you, you keep saying that we abandoned you, but I want to ask you. If we really wanted to save that mouthful of food, why didn't we drive you away from the beginning?"
"You...you are afraid that no one will go with you to protect you." Qin Mosheng was still looking for excuses.
"Then why did we chase you away if we were afraid that no one would come with us?"
"this..."
Qin Mosheng couldn't answer.
Su Man sneered, "Why don't I answer for you? You've been determined from the beginning to exploit my affection for you and squeeze out all our value. You made me drive my mother-in-law away and persuaded me to sell my niece. In the end, when we ran out of food, you simply took our belongings and left."
She pointed at Grandma Zhou and the others and said, "If I hadn't been careful, all of us would have been sold out by you today."
If Su Man had said this just now, no one would have believed it. However, after seeing the white jade pendant on Qin Mosheng's body, and the fact that Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang were still fighting over there, everyone didn't have a good impression of Qin Mosheng's family.
He claims to be a scholar every day, and acts like he is superior to others even before he has achieved fame and success. He is really annoying.
In addition, everyone saw how infatuated Wang Man was with Qin Mosheng before. If he hadn't done something, why would Wang Man be so cold and hostile to him today?
Seeing the villagers looking at them with strange eyes, Qin Mosheng felt extremely humiliated. He gritted his teeth and said, "The whole world is turbid, but I am the only one who is clear. Everyone is drunk, but I am the only one who is sober. A gentleman is open and honest. I have no regrets about what I have done. You can slander me as much as you want!"
Perhaps because he was afraid that Su Man would say something else, Qin Mosheng left in a hurry after he finished speaking.
Wang Xiuxiu chased after Qin Mosheng, "Brother Mosheng, wait for me, I understand you!"
“…”
Seeing Wang Xiuxiu's worthless appearance, the village chief couldn't bear to watch. He turned to Grandma Zhou and said, "Now that the children are back, you can rest assured. Once we reach the south, life will be better."
Grandma Zhou nodded and said, "Thank you, Village Chief."
Widow Song hated Su Man and yelled, "You have such a big family and no food. If you follow us, you will eat us!"
"this..."
The village chief glanced at Grandma Zhou and the others. If anyone in the village was in trouble, he would definitely help. However, there was famine everywhere these days. If they only took in money but didn't give out any, even mountains of gold and silver would be eaten up. What's more, they didn't have much food to begin with.
The village chief, who wanted to share some food with them, hesitated and looked back at his wife Yuemei.
Aunt Yuemei was holding a small rattle in her hand, with her head down and not saying a word. Ever since her little grandson disappeared, she had lost a lot of weight, as if she could be blown away by the wind.
Su Man knew that the village chief was in a difficult situation, so she said, "Village chief, every household is short of food now. We are very grateful that you can keep us here. We will find a way to get food ourselves."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Man's family, who had been watching the excitement from a distance, also started to discuss quietly.
"Find a way yourself? You won't ask us for it, will you?"
"Nonsense, there's no food anywhere right now, they must be asking us for it."
Wang Man's father, Wang Laoliu, was injured by bandits before. Although he hasn't died yet, he will probably die in the next two days. He has been lying in bed.
His wife, Aunt Wang Liu, only has her two sons in her heart. She was the one who facilitated Wang Man's marriage in order to earn money for her eldest son to marry a wife.
Seeing that Su Man came back empty-handed, Wang Manniang was afraid that Su Man would go to them, and everyone looked alert.
Although Suman has said that he will not eat their food, no one can say for sure about such things.
The discussions around her ears were getting louder and louder, and it was difficult for Su Man to pretend not to hear them.
Her gaze passed over the villagers in the middle and went straight to Wang Man's family.
"If you have anything to say, just speak up. There's no need to mutter to yourself."
"Louder if you want."
Wang Man's brother Wang Fu shouted, "Whether you follow the village or not, we can't share our food with you. Mother said that since you're married, you're no longer a member of our family and shouldn't eat our food anymore."
Wang Fu had just turned 16, and the childishness on his face had not completely faded, but one could already see Wang Manniang's mean and calculating look.
Su Man's eyes swept over the five of them. "You all, is that what you mean? You think that since I'm married, I have nothing to do with you, is that right?"
Wang Manniang acted as if she couldn't hear anything. She lowered her head and continued doing what she was doing, with no intention of replying at all.
Brother Wang Man was the same. He looked up at the sky and down at the earth, but not at Su Man.
In the end, it was Wang Man's sister-in-law who said something polite, "Little sister, don't blame mother. The main thing is that we women are bound to the family we marry into. Look at your sister-in-law. Since she married your eldest brother, she has never been back to her parents' home and has always been with her husband's family."
My sister-in-law held her waist while talking. Looking at her bulging belly, she was already five or six months pregnant.
Sister-in-law Wang Man can’t be said to be good, but compared to others, she is still somewhat decent.
Su Man nodded. "Okay, then as you said, from today on, I am no longer the daughter of Wang Laoliu's family. From now on, whether I am hungry or full, it has nothing to do with you."
“And us!”
Widow Song continued, "Don't even think you can get your food from us when you have nothing to eat!"
"good."
Su Man raised the corners of her lips and said, "Let me be frank. If I have food, don't be so shameless as to ask me for it."
"Who cares? Don't worry, no matter what you eat or drink in the future, we won't even look at it!"
