The sight of Qin Mosheng lying on the ground somehow irritated Widow Song. She screamed, pushed aside the children surrounding her and rushed to Qin Mosheng.
"Wanru! Wanru, wake up! Open your eyes and look at your mother!"
"Wanru, you died so tragically..."
"I'm sorry..."
When Widow Song said this, Qin Mosheng, who was already frightened, became even more panicked.
"Mom! Look carefully, I am Mo Sheng! My sister is dead, shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"
In fact, he didn't need to be so excited. When Widow Song said sorry to Qin Wanru, it could also be understood as her guilt for not taking good care of her daughter.
But Qin Mosheng was guilty and afraid of being overheard, not knowing that the more excited he was, the more suspicious he became.
There were discussions all around.
"What's wrong with this young man from the Qin family? Why is he ordering Widow Song around like this?"
"Yeah, it's just a case of mistaken identity, there's no need to get so excited."
"But Widow Song is indeed a bit strange. She clearly favored Qin Mosheng before, but now she even mistook Qin Mosheng for her."
"Yeah yeah..."
Not to mention them, even Zhao Yuru couldn't help but whisper to Su Man.
"Sister Man, why do I feel like there's something wrong with Qin Mosheng?"
Su Man whispered a few words to her, and Zhao Yuru's eyes widened instantly.
"What? He actually!"
"Sh-"
Su Man pouted at Wang Laowu and his mother.
Zhao Yuru expressed her understanding. She snorted, "Let them get away with it. Who knows what they'll do if they find out the truth."

After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, the villagers could finally take a breath.
The way down the mountain was much easier to walk than the way up. At least there was more vegetation than on the shady side where they climbed up, and there were more places to hold on to.
After walking on the brink of life and death, the villagers' legs felt as if they were filled with lead, unable to move, and they all sat down on the spot.
The sky, which had been cloudy for a few days, suddenly cleared up, and the sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone onto the top of the mountain.
The mountains in the distance are rolling and the scenery is magnificent, which is refreshing.
The children quickly regained their energy and gathered together to laugh and play.
Everyone decided to take a rest while the weather was good before going down the mountain, to avoid the rain and muddy terrain.
...
Going down the mountain was much faster than going up, and they reached the halfway point before dark.
There are quite a few wild vegetables here, as well as some unripe wild fruits.
Zhou Anan bit one open and almost had her teeth hurt by the sourness. She covered her cheeks and swallowed continuously.
It’s not possible to eat it directly, so I just crushed it and used it as fruit vinegar and threw it into the pot to make soup.
It only tastes sour and doesn’t taste very good, but for children who have no taste in their mouths, it is a rare delicacy.
Xiaolan works efficiently and cooks deliciously.
She mashed the stewed potatoes into a paste, mixed it with the vegetables, and finally beat in the eggs, patting them on the pan while they were still sticky.
It was roasted dry, and Suman even tasted like potato chips.
Xiao Lando roasted some, thinking he could eat them to satisfy his hunger on the way.
She did the same thing again, making some rice cakes, sandwiching some Mimi brand jerky chicken in the middle and drying them together. They were crispy and fragrant.
They were eating with great enthusiasm, but Wang Laowu was having a much worse time.
Aunt Wang Wu had been living a life of luxury for years and didn't know how to cook. In addition, they had no food, so the wild vegetable soup she cooked was bitter and unpalatable.
Qin Mosheng was fine, after all he often ate wild vegetables and had endured the hardships, but Wang Yongchang was not.
He had never suffered such hardship since he was a child. He looked at Xiaolan's food and swallowed his saliva.
"I don't want to eat anymore!"
Wang Yongchang threw the bowl away and said, "How can I eat something this bad?"
Aunt Wang Wu couldn't eat much either, but if she didn't eat, she would starve to death. She had no choice but to persuade him, "At least eat something, or you won't have the strength to go down the mountain later."
“No.”
Wang Yongchang refused to eat anything, and Aunt Wang Wu had no choice.
"Since Brother Yongchang can't eat, why don't I mediate and persuade Xiaolan to come back. After all, she still has some rice, which is worse than eating only wild vegetables." Qin Mosheng suggested.
"Come on, that ungrateful Xiaolan. Last time, my mother and I tried to persuade her to come back but she was determined not to come back. A bitch like that can just run away."
"That's wrong."
Qin Mosheng deliberately tried to be mysterious, "As the ancients said, where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you want to do it, you will definitely succeed."
He spoke in a low voice, and Wang Yongchang's brows gradually relaxed.
"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
-
After a while, Qin Mosheng and Wang Yongchang came over.
When Su Man turned her head and saw the two men, her temples throbbed.
These two are worse than dogs. With the double buffs stacked on top of each other, they will be killed.
"Sister-in-law Xiaolan, Brother Yongchang has something to tell you, please come over."
Xiaolan lowered her head, focusing only on the work at hand. "If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Just as Wang Yongchang was about to get angry, Qin Mosheng pulled his sleeves twice.
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Wang Yongchang patiently said with a gentle expression, "Well, Xiaolan, I was wrong before. I have wronged you for so many years. Now I have come to understand that nothing is more important than our family being together. It is not uncommon for a woman like you to have two children. As long as you come back, I will definitely treat you and the children well, and we will live a happy family."
“…”
Su Man knew exactly what Wang Yongchang was planning. He said this just to trick Xiaolan into going back and continuing to work like a slave for their family.
