"But this time, Hongxing's uncle's family is probably so angry they'll be furious!"
"What, is there something about you that nobody knows?"
"that is……!"
"What...!? Are you serious? That's incredibly shameless!"
"That's right. Before Hongxing's accident, his family treated Ningjing like a maid."
Now that Hongxing is gone, they still want to control Ning Jing, and they even want them to keep the money and food they earned from selling their jobs.
"What's there to keep safe? I reckon the safest place is inside your own belly."
"Hahaha... Shanzi, I think you're hungry already, you just finished dinner!"
"What? I only had a bowl of sweet potato soup for dinner, and it made me so wet that I emptied my bowels. How could I not be hungry?"
"Come on, at least your wife gave you a bowl of sweet potato soup. I saw it clearly at noon."
Ning Jing and Xiu Hua were eating wild vegetable soup, which they probably dug up by the children today.
Whether we'll get anything to eat tonight is uncertain!
"Oh... how pitiful!"
Upon hearing this, the man named Dashan sighed for a while.
He rubbed his rumbling stomach and thought that at least his family had sweet potatoes to eat, which was better than Ning Jing's family of women and children eating wild vegetables all day long.
"No wonder he talked back to Hongxing's uncle. If it were me, I would definitely fight back if I was starving to death and being bullied like this."
"Haha, so Hongxing's uncle was so angry that he fainted."
"This...it's impossible that the elders fainted from anger!"
That's incredibly unfilial!
"Tch, if your uncle's family were to manage your family's food and money, would you be willing to do that?"
"How could that be? We're separated by a room, why are you interfering in my family's affairs?"
"Oh, so you're willing to say that? Why can't Ning Jing say it too?"
The person who said he was unfilial was speechless, muttered a few words, and ultimately stopped arguing.
Meanwhile, a family meeting was being held at the village chief's house.
"Father, I'm not going."
This job was earned by Brother Hongxing with his life, how can I go to the county town in Ningjing's place?
Tan Qingshan stiffened his neck, turned his head away from Tan Dingguo, and said stubbornly.
The Tan family has seven members, including Tan Dingguo and Xing Lanhua, a married couple. He went to serve in the army and rarely came back.
However, Xing Lanhua's belly was fertile; every time Tan Dingguo returned, he could plant a seed in her belly.
Therefore, Tan Dingguo had three sons and two daughters.
The eldest daughter, Tan Dahuan, is 33 years old and has long been married. Her husband's family is Ge Dazhuang, a villager from Dongxi Village, which is 30 miles away from Xishan Village.
Dongxi Village is not far from Xishan Village, but it is adjacent to a large river, and both its living standards and material conditions are better than those of Xishan Village.
The eldest son, Tan Qingzhou, is 31 years old and married. His wife, Wang Dingxiang, is 29 years old. They have two daughters, Tan Mei and Tan Tao, who are 10 and 6 years old respectively.
When Wang Dingxiang gave birth to Tan Tao, she injured her body, and no matter how hard Tan Qingzhou and she tried afterward, she could not conceive again.
The second son, Tan Qinghe, is 28 years old this year. His wife, Wu He, is from Wujia Village and is 27 years old this year. They have a son and a daughter. Their daughter, Tan Xia, is 7 years old this year, and their son, Tan Guang, is only 4 years old.
Wu He originally wanted to name her son Tan Guangzong, but her father-in-law Tan Dingguo forbade her from having such a name.
Wu He had no choice but to erase the last word.
The remaining children are the youngest son, Tan Qingshan, who is 19 years old, and the youngest daughter, Tan Xiaohuan, who is 17 years old.
