On the road of fleeing famine, Suman witnessed too many brothers turning against each other, couples separating, and even biological parents abandoning their children.
Just because under the test of hunger and life-threatening danger, those bad habits that were used as a fig leaf under the stable times were exposed nakedly in the sun.
Like Wang Man's mother, she was only partial to her son in stable times, but when it came to life and death, she could disown her daughter for her son and watch her daughter starve to death.
There are also many couples who originally had little affection for each other, but when food is scarce, they fight over a bite of food.
And the true feelings that were covered by the dull years are particularly touching at this moment.
Some people smile and say they are not hungry in order to get their children to eat more.
Some people are willing to risk their lives and not give up the search in order to reunite with their loved ones.
As for Wang Yongchang, he is obviously the type that cannot stand the test.
He wanted Qin Wanru's charm and also Xiaolan's hard work and dedication.
But there is no such good thing in the world. What's more, he has been beating and scolding Xiaolan for so many years, which has already chilled Xiaolan's heart.
Faced with Xiaolan asking for a divorce letter, Wang Yongchang was obviously reluctant.
Once the divorce letter is given, Xiaolan will no longer be a member of the Wang family.
Although he didn't believe that Xiaolan had the ability to survive on her own, once the divorce letter was given, things would not be the same.
But in front of so many people, with Su Man watching him closely, he had no choice but to ask Qin Mosheng to write the divorce letter for him.
In order to save face, he belittled Xiaolan in the divorce letter, saying that she was stupid and clumsy, and that she had caused the Wang family to be heirless. Even her background was ridiculed by Wang Yongchang.
Faced with these insults, Xiaolan remained silent and said nothing.
With the village chief as witness, Wang Yongchang pressed his fingerprints and threw them to Xiaolan angrily.
"I want to see how long you can live without me!"
Xiaolan picked up the thin piece of paper on the ground and put it in her arms.
It wasn't just a piece of paper, it was also the years she had wasted.
She used to be very afraid that she would be kicked out by Wang Yongchang, but now that she really got the divorce letter, she felt relieved.
The two daughters were sensible and didn't cry or make a fuss. They just bit their sleeves and looked at Xiaolan.
They knew what kind of life their mother lived at home, and even though they were reluctant to let her go, they didn't want her to suffer anymore.
Xiaolan was reluctant to leave them, but for the better future of her and her two daughters, she had to leave with great reluctance.
-
The sky is still gloomy today. The village chief wanted to take everyone on the road, but many people in the village caught a cold due to the heavy rain yesterday, and several of them were too sick to get up.
The village chief could only make a temporary decision to let the villagers rest for another day, and also called a few young and strong people to go out and explore the way.
Xiaolan was taken back by Su Man after leaving Wang Laowu's house.
She was a little distracted because she was worried about her daughter. It took Su Man a while to comfort her before she felt a little better.
...
In the opposite yard, Qin Wanru was very excited about becoming the legal wife.
Finally, I divorced that troublesome Xiaolan. It was really unfair to her that a village girl took the position of the wife and made her the concubine.
She was lying on the kang, feeling very contented. Wang Yongchang came in and urged her impatiently, "It's already late. It's time to make lunch."
"Me?" Qin Wanru pointed at herself with a look of disbelief.
"If it's not you, then it's me."
Wang Yongchang was in a bad mood because Xiaolan ran away, and his tone of voice was not as good as usual. "Hurry up, my parents and the children are waiting for dinner. Go collect some firewood before it rains, and boil some water after you cook. I will clean myself in the evening."
Qin Wanru felt overwhelmed after hearing this. She had to do so much work by herself?
Then she must be exhausted.
She still wanted to act like a spoiled child as before, and leaned on Wang Yongchang's chest, "Husband, please help Wanru. Wanru can't do it alone."
Wang Yongchang usually speaks sweet words, but his true nature returns at times like this.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I, a man, help you? This is what a wife should do. Go quickly."
Qin Wanru knew she couldn't escape, and she was so angry that she went out to find firewood reluctantly.
But she was not cut out for work at all. After searching for a long time, all she brought back were some rotten wood, some too small, some too big, and could not bear burning at all.
Qin Wanru stuck her butt out and tried to order for a long time but nothing came of it. Not to mention lunch, she couldn't even boil water.
Wang Yongchang, who was hungry, came out to see if the meal was ready. He was shocked to see that Qin Wanru hadn't even lit the fire. He became angry instantly.
"What are you dawdling for? I told you to cook quickly, but you haven't even started the fire yet!"
Qin Wanru also felt aggrieved. She had just gotten dirty from picking up firewood and had twisted her arm, so she couldn't use any strength at all.
She said angrily, "Can't you come over and help me? There are so many people eating, and you let me do it alone. Of course I can't do it well!"
Aunt Wang Wu in the room couldn't sit still when she heard what Qin Wanru said. She came out with a sullen face and said, "Wanru, what are you talking about? Yongchang is your man, how can you talk to him like that? Besides, Xiaolan always does this. You rushed to be the eldest, so you should shoulder the biggest responsibilities. How can you complain!"
Qin Wanru was scolded and felt very angry, but she couldn't refute it, so she had to continue to be angry.
Wang Yongchang was very annoyed by her clumsiness. If the fire could not be lit again, they would have nothing to eat today.
He pushed Qin Wanru aside and said, "Get up and watch how I make a fire."
Unexpectedly, Wang Yongchang failed after trying several times.
