Widow Song and Qin Wanru exchanged glances, and Qin Wanru asked tentatively, "What did the village chief say?"
Wang Xiuxiu sobbed, "He said that from now on he would let me follow you and he would not recognize me..."
"this..."
Widow Song was comforting Wang Xiuxiu while her eyes were rolling around incoherently.
Follow them? That's impossible. The food they had wasn't enough for their family of three, and with Wang Xiuxiu added to the mix, they'd probably run out in two days.
In the past, Wang Xiuxiu could still get some food from the village chief to help them. If the village chief really turned his back on Wang Xiuxiu, wouldn't they starve to death?
Thinking of this, Widow Song, who originally wanted to take out some dry food for lunch, immediately gave up the idea, comforted Wang Xiuxiu with a few words, and then prepared to set off.
...
The way down the mountain was difficult, so everyone was extremely careful.
Su Man was worried that Grandma Zhou had poor legs and feet, but she didn't expect that Grandma Zhou could walk faster than them and could even help them.
In this way, the family came down smoothly.
The village chief said that a lot of time had been wasted these days and they needed to speed up the process, so he went down the mountain without rest and headed straight for the main road.
Wang Xiuxiu and the Song family didn't eat lunch, and they were so hungry after walking for more than an hour.
Not to mention Qin Wanru, even Qin Mosheng couldn't bear it anymore. He put the book in his arms, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "I'm so hungry and can't eat enough. It's really hard. Is there anything to eat?"
"Sh-"
Widow Song looked back at Wang Xiuxiu, who was walking with Qin Wanru, and pushed Qin Mosheng forward a few steps. "Speak softly, don't let Wang Xiuxiu hear you."
She carefully took out a few wild vegetable dumplings from her bosom and quietly handed them to Qin Mosheng, "Go ahead and eat them. Don't let Wang Xiuxiu see you, or we'll have to give her one."
Qin Mosheng was a little reluctant. "A gentleman stands properly and sits properly. He doesn't talk while eating and doesn't talk while sleeping. How can you eat while walking?"
"Oh, it's an emergency, son, you have to be flexible. Take Wang Xiuxiu, for example. She's a hard-working woman, but she has a big appetite. Last time I saw her eating wild vegetable dumplings, the size of a fist, and she ate four. If she saw us, she would have eaten all our portions."
After hearing what Widow Song said, Qin Mosheng also remembered the way Wang Xiuxiu ate. It was so vulgar, like a glutton, which was really disgusting.
"Well, those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Let's leave it at that for today."
"Hey, good son, go eat quickly. I'll call your sister to come and eat with you later."
Then, Widow Song went to Qin Wanru and did the same thing, "Wanru, your brother just said in front that he seemed to have something to tell you, please go over there."
Qin Wanru was also tired and hungry. She wiped the sweat off her face with a silk handkerchief and said, "What's the matter? I'm very tired. Let him come over and talk."
"Hey, your brother is calling you, so just go over there."
Widow Song winked and said, "Go quickly."
