"That's right, Third Sister-in-law, why don't you come over and apologize to Mom? Can't you see that Mom is pissed off by you?"
Shen Lin was so angry that she clenched her fists.
She hated her two sisters-in-law to the core, and was even more disgusted with Mrs. Zhao for trying to steal the money she had. She had originally thought of giving some to the dead old woman after she had taken out the supplies, but now she wished she would just die quickly.
"What are you talking about, mother? When have I ever been unfilial? I've always given the food I got to you and father as a filial gift. Now Xiaochuan and I are starving, and you don't seem to feel any pity."
"It's fine if you don't feel sorry for me, because I'm an outsider. But Xiaochuan is your grandson, you can't not feel sorry for him. I know you are dissatisfied with me for not giving any share to my elder and second brothers, but there are only so many things. After being filial to my parents, I have to have some surplus to be filial to my two elder brothers." She almost said the last few words with gritted teeth, which showed the sarcasm.
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was instantly dissatisfied and immediately sat up to teach her a lesson, "What do you mean I'm dissatisfied? When you have something good, you'd rather give it to someone else than to your two brothers. Isn't that right? Besides, is the thing yours? It's clearly my third brother's!"
Shen Lin was so angry that she vomited blood. The things were obviously hers, but her previous excuses made her feel constrained in every way. If she had a say in the whole village, the Zhao family, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, would never dare to give her a hard time.
Think about it this way.
Chen Lin hated Zhou Jiaojiao again.
At this moment, she rarely regretted why she didn't just stab Zhou Jiaojiao at the end. That way, she would not be able to come back to life even though she was clearly dead.
"That's enough." The village chief listened impatiently. "You guys can do whatever you want. If you don't give me money, I'll leave. You don't have enough herbs to make medicine. Don't wait until someone in your family gets sick and then come to argue with me. I won't be able to give you that many herbs then. Now that we can get all the herbs, it's all thanks to the efforts of the whole village!"
Shen Lin gritted her teeth and didn’t let go.
She would never condone the Zhao family!
In the end, Mrs. Zhao was scolded by the village chief. She was afraid that she would not get her own share, so she had to give it to Zhao Xiaochuan reluctantly.
"Xiaochuan is my grandson and I take care of him, but I can't control my daughter-in-law!"
The village chief moved his lips but didn't say anything. He just looked at Chen Lin, thinking that since Zhao Changliu could leave so many things for her, she must be able to exchange some things for medicinal herbs from the village, so he asked, "What about you?"
But Shen Lin was so angry that her face turned green, "Village Chief, I am also a member of the Zhao family. Shouldn't they give it together? You actually helped them!"
Chen Lin now hated the village chief.
Before the village chief could say anything, Mrs. Zhao started to boast: "You have taken advantage of my third son so much, why do you still take things from us old people? You are unfilial, so of course the village chief will not side with you."
"Village chief, do you think so too?" Shen Lin's voice was a little dangerous.
The village chief was also a little angry. What did Shen Lin mean by this? It was the Zhao family who bullied her, and she didn't bother the Zhao family, but instead came to bother him? What kind of logic was this? He wanted to say that whoever wanted to be the village chief could do it, but when he thought about the number of people in the village, there were still not many troublemakers like the Zhao family. He couldn't just give up hundreds of people because of a few of them.
"Boss Zhao, you are an educated man, why don't you stand up and say something?" The village chief was also smart and directly threw the blame on Boss Zhao.
Boss Zhao was a hypocritical person. He allowed his parents to rob things from the third brother's house in front and got good things without showing up. When he was called by the village chief, his eyes darkened.
In the end, the Zhao family still didn't get Shen Lin's share.
Zhao Xiaochuan tugged at Shen Lin's hand and said, "Mom, Xiaochuan and I will each take half."
Chen Lin's eyes were heavy and she didn't say anything, but the way she looked at the Zhao family and the village chief was somewhat uncomfortable.
The village chief was innocently implicated and went back with the herbs. He asked his maid and several diligent women in the village to start boiling the medicine together.
It's cold now and there's no sign of rain, so we decided not to continue our journey.
Boil the medicine and drink it first.
Zhou Jiaojiao also heard about the Zhao family at this time. She was very satisfied with the result. The relationship between the Zhao family and Chen Lin would not be good, so no one would provide her with food. With Chen Lin's personality, what would she do if she had no food for a long time?
Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t know.
But she just needs to ensure that the villagers do not go to the county town.
Over the next few days, the villagers took the medicine several times, and those with serious symptoms got better. They no longer had high fever, but only had mild symptoms such as runny nose and bitter taste in the mouth. The sick family members were very happy.
The other adults were in better physical condition and did not catch the cold again.
Only some elderly people caught a cold after taking the medicine, but with the help of Zhou Jiaojiao and Doctor Lin, they soon recovered and were in better condition than before.
The large group from the village continued to move forward.
Zhou Jiaojiao's belly is already very obvious, but she is thin, so her belly is actually not big.
Chu San insisted on pulling the cart in front so that she could sit more comfortably on the cart, which was padded with a thick cotton jacket.
This day.
It has been the third day since Chen Lin had been out of food, and the Zhao family had conflicts and quarrels every day. The whole village was too impatient to persuade them, as persuasion was of no use anyway.
Shen Lin felt increasingly isolated and helpless.
She turned her head and saw Zhou Jiaojiao looking so comfortable. Jealousy flashed in her eyes and she started thinking about something.
Zhou Jiaojiao is looking at the route map.
She felt that the weather was getting colder, much colder than in previous years, so she asked Chu's mother: "Mom, let's find a refugee to ask what the situation is like in the nearby county."
"Third brother, go." Mother Chu immediately understood what she meant. She wanted to know the situation around her.
But Chu's mother thought that if she could stay in her hometown, she would not leave.
Zhou Jiaojiao thought that there would be war in Yuzhou in the future, so it would be better not to stay there.
Chu San nodded in response.
Chu's mother and Chu's younger sister came over and pulled the cart.
Zhou Jiaojiao naturally wouldn't continue sitting on it, and walked slowly beside it.
She followed Chu San's figure and saw him go to ask some women and children, but as soon as he approached, they trembled with fear.
Chu San's questioning was delayed for a while.
It seemed to be getting no results, so he simply went to look for a male refugee who was a little stronger passing by.
Before he could get close, the man inevitably brought a few people with him and surrounded him. Even though Zhou Jiaojiao knew that Chu San was good at fighting, her heart still instantly tightened.
really.
The next second, the four of them started fighting.
The three male refugees were no match for Chu San at all.
Chu San held the three men and said something tremblingly. Within an incense stick of time, Chu San let go of the three men, and the three men ran away.
Chu San walked back.
His expression was a little ugly.
