ashore
Qin Mosheng lay on the ground crying bitterly, and he used his only flexible left hand to slap himself hard.
After killing two relatives in succession, Qin Mosheng's emotions have collapsed.
When Qin Wanru died, he could still comfort himself that he didn't mean it.
But now, he watched his own mother die to save him.
If he hadn't insisted on pulling his mother across the river, if he had been more determined to stay, his mother wouldn't have died.
And my sister...
Why did it become like this, why!
"Beast, beast!"
Qin Mosheng slapped himself again and again, looking like a madman.
At this moment, the refugees had no intention of watching the excitement. The big ship was gone, so they placed their hopes on the small boat.
"Boatman! Please take us across the river!"
Some refugees who were left behind begged for mercy, including many elderly people and children who were abandoned by their families.
The captain blew the silver in his hand and said, "Twenty taels per person."
"Twenty taels!"
For these villagers, twenty taels is a life-threatening amount.
Not to mention twenty taels, even two taels of silver would require a whole family to come up with.
Someone said angrily, "You are so cruel!"
"It's my boat. I can charge as much as I want. If you don't want to ride it, just get out of the way. Someone else will naturally want to ride it."
Just as the captain said, there were people in the crowd who actually paid money to get on board.
Aunt Wang Wu was one of them. The mother and son had just noticed the small boat.
After learning that a boat could cross the river, Wang Yongchang gave all the silver he had hidden on him to Aunt Wang Wu, asking her to pay for the boat ride so that the mother and son could meet on the other side of the river.
There were quite a few people gathered at the dock, but most of them were short of money.
The village chief's family and Wang Tiedan the blacksmith were all crowded here, watching the rich people get on the boat.
In addition to Su Man's family, the village chief's family, Wang the blacksmith and his wife, the people in Wangjia Village also include Zhang Fengxi and her blind mother-in-law.
It's funny that Wang Laosi, the mother-in-law's biological son, actually abandoned his mother and ran away. Instead, Zhang Fengxi decided to stay and take care of his mother-in-law.
There is also Aunt Cuihua, whose daughter is the same age as Pingping. She didn't want to abandon her daughter, so her husband stayed with her.
These people could not afford twenty taels of silver for a boat ride, let alone twenty taels per person.
Aunt Wang Wu did not get on the boat immediately, but pretended to wait for the village chief.
