Widow Song was helped aside by Qin Mosheng. On the cart, Aunt Wang Wu had a dull look in her eyes, as if she was terribly frightened.
In just one night, the once wealthy and happy family was shattered.
The head of the family was gone, and all the food and horses were taken away, leaving only him and Wang Yongchang to depend on each other.
Aunt Wang Wu came to her senses and hugged Wang Yongchang and cried, "How could this happen..."
"Boss, you died miserably..."
If it were someone else's family, Su Man would definitely go over and comfort them, but for Wang Laowu's family, she could only say that there must be something hateful about pitiful people.
If they hadn't had bad intentions, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
But Wang Yongchang was still arguing with Su Man and Wang the blacksmith like a fool, "It's all your fault. If your horses hadn't come from the wrong path, how could we have encountered such a disaster?"
Su Man was so angry that she laughed, "Did we let you steal the horse? You took it without telling me, and now you're blaming me. You have nothing to do with the character '人'."
"What do you mean by stealing?! My father and Wanru protected your two families from disaster, and you took advantage of it and are still ungrateful! You are not human!"
Qin Mosheng also chimed in, "Yes, Sister Zhou, don't be so aggressive. Aunt Wu's family is in such a disaster right now. My sister and Uncle Wang Wu are both... Well, it would be fine if you didn't offer any comfort, but why are you rubbing salt into their wounds?"
Suman???
Whose dog cage was not welded properly and let him out?
Qin Mosheng was still confident in his argument, "Killing is not enough. Now that my sister and the fifth uncle of the Wang family died because of the horse, it can be regarded as saving your two families. You should be grateful and respect the deceased."
After hearing his words of moral kidnapping, a few soft-hearted villagers also tried to persuade him, "Yes, Mrs. Zhou, they are all dead, so don't be like them."
"They have finally gotten their comeuppance."
“…”
We all came from the same village and had been friends for many years. When someone died, no one wanted to care about many things anymore.
Su Man knew that now was the time when the villagers were sympathizing with Aunt Wang Wu. If she said too much, it would allow her family to take advantage of the situation and stand up for themselves.
It seems that Qin Mosheng has made up his mind to put the blame on them.
Seeing that everyone was on his side, Qin Mosheng sneered in his heart. He knew Wang Man's temper very well. She would definitely be angry after being tricked by him.
As long as she gets angry, the villagers will definitely think she is a cold-blooded person and will no longer listen to her in the future.
However, Suman's performance was not similar to what he expected, it was completely unrelated.
Su Man's expression softened. "What the villagers said is true. It's really sad that Uncle Wu's family has suffered such a misfortune."
She pretended to wipe her tears with her sleeve and said, "We are all from the same village. Who wouldn't be sad to hear such bad news?"
Needless to say, Suman's acting skills immediately moved many people.
"Mrs. Zhou is so kind. Even though Wang Laowu and his family treated you like this, she still feels bad for them."
"Yes, Sister Zhou rescued us from a bandit's den before. She was the most considerate of the villagers."
The corners of Su Man's lips, hidden by her sleeves, curled up. People are like this. If you are strong, they will sympathize with the weak. If you are weak, they will turn around and sympathize with you.
She wiped away her tears and sighed, "It's my fault. In my impatience, I accused them of stealing the horse. Actually, the horse was meant to stay here. We were supposed to never see it again after we hiked the mountain road together today. But my uncle and his family forgot to tell us and took it away in the dark."
The use of this taking away was very subtle. The more Su Man beautified them, the more harsh it sounded to Wang Laowu's family.
Su Man saw Wang Yongchang's face turn ugly as she wished. She sighed artificially and continued, "It's all my fault for sleeping too soundly at night. If I had discovered it earlier and warned Uncle Wu, this wouldn't have happened."
"Aunt Wu, Yongchang, I apologize to you."
These words appeared to be self-blame, but in fact they were indirectly telling everyone that the horse was going to give up anyway, and it was nonsense to try to prevent the disaster.
What's more, Wang Laowu and the others took it secretly and then blamed others for not reminding them. What kind of nonsense is this?
Upon hearing this, the villagers who had been misled by Qin Mosheng just now also came to their senses.
"Sister Zhou, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you."
"Yes, Mrs. Zhou, everyone has their own destiny. Don't be too sad."
Su Man forced a smile and said, "Thank you all for your comfort."
Qin Mosheng was obviously annoyed when he saw Su Man coaxing the villagers around with just a few words.
He snorted coldly and turned to leave, but Su Man didn't want to let him go so easily.
"Qin Mosheng, wait a minute."
Qin Mosheng stopped and frowned, "What's the matter?"
Su Man wiped her tears and said, "Just now I saw you frequently mentioned the difficulties of your fifth uncle's family. I guess you are thinking about their
I can't bear to see you do me a favor, and you're truly a gentleman, repaying a favor."
Qin Mosheng was slightly startled, obviously not knowing why Su Man would suddenly praise him, but he always liked to show off and flaunt himself, so he subconsciously said, "Of course, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water."
"Yes."
Su Man glanced at Wang Yongchang and Aunt Wang Wu and said, "Since you are willing to repay the favor, and you have the kinship of your in-laws, then from now on Aunt Wu and Yongchang will be left to your care."
"What is it?"
Qin Mosheng was anxious. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I would take care of them?"
"ah?"
Su Man was surprised. "You were the one who said you wanted to repay the favor. Besides, you were just speaking for them because you sympathized with their plight. Could it be that you were just talking nonsense?"
"you!"
Qin Mosheng was speechless.
In front of so many people, he was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to agree or not.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
Although all the belongings of Wang Laowu's family were looted, they had been rich for so many years after all, so they might have hidden some gold and silver on them.
Seeing that he was about to arrive in the south, he would have a lot of expenses. If he joined them as a family, he would have a solution for his medical expenses and settling-in expenses.
In this way, Wanru's death would not be in vain.
Thinking of this, Qin Mosheng put his hands behind his back, held his head high and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since I want to repay a favor, it's not just talk. Today, I ask everyone to be a witness. We voluntarily form a family and help each other."
He turned to Aunt Wang Wu and Wang Yongchang and said, "Aunt Wang Wu, from now on I will treat you like my own mother, and Yongchang, from now on you are my brother."
Aunt Wang Wu's face was moved when she heard this. They had nothing now, but Qin Mosheng was still willing to recognize them as a family. She wiped her tears and said, "You are a kind and righteous child. From now on, we will be a family."
Even Wang Yongchang no longer disliked Qin Mosheng and grabbed his shoulders, "Good brother."
“.......”
Looking at this scene of deep affection and friendship, a flash of sarcasm passed through Su Man's eyes.
Good brother, benevolence...
I'm afraid you won't think so when you find out the truth about the horse fall.
