Chapter 242: Arguing
"We don't ask for good food every day, nor do we ask for silk clothes to wear every day. We just want to have enough to eat. We can mend our clothes with our own clothes so that they can be worn for a few years."
The onlookers immediately started talking:
"What's going on? My granddaughter is dressed so well, but my grandma is covered in patches and is a beggar?"
"I don't understand."
"I don't understand it either."
…
Old Mrs. Chen pointed at He Xiaoshuang and tearfully complained, "You all don't know, but my granddaughter's mother despised our family for being poor and now she can only beg for food, so she took her daughter to live with her wealthy relatives."
"Today I was begging on the road and I accidentally saw my granddaughter, wearing a gorgeous silk dress, so I greeted her."
"I didn't expect that she thought I was a disgrace and didn't recognize me, a beggar woman, or her father at all."
"His father is in an even worse situation now. He had his head broken by someone and can only lie in the dilapidated temple waiting for me to beg for food to feed him. Even the medicine for his wounds was obtained by begging."
The onlookers looked at He Xiaoshuang with disdain:
"How could this child be like this? Treating his own grandmother like this is unfilial."
"I guess he was taught badly by his own mother."
"Yeah, what do children know? They just do and believe whatever adults teach them."
"Child, please help your grandma."
"It's no use asking this child to help. She has to listen to her mother. If she takes her grandma and dad back without permission, wouldn't that be disobeying her mother and being unfilial to her?"
"That's right, it's all her mother's fault."
He Xiaoshuang didn't want others to misunderstand her mother, so she frantically explained, "She's talking nonsense! She's clearly biased towards boys and despised me because I'm a girl. She divorced my mother and didn't give her a penny or a piece of clothing. She even abandoned me to her. What she said just now was all nonsense!"
"Besides, my mother and I are currently staying at someone else's house. That family has women at home, so there's no way they'd let a man like my father stay there. It's not something my mother and I can agree to just because we want to."
Song Chuman raised an eyebrow.
That’s right, I can argue with reason and explain in an orderly manner. Finally, these few days of following her were not in vain.
The onlookers looked at Old Lady Chen meaningfully:
"There's actually such a thing?"
"No wonder her granddaughter treated her like this."
"If my in-laws treated me like this, I would also teach my children not to recognize my in-laws. From now on, I will find them dirty when I look at them again."
"Is this child telling lies?"
"Impossible? What she said was so convincing. I don't think a child would lie."
"Yes, I think there's a high possibility that the old woman is lying."
Seeing that the onlookers were actually suspicious of her, Old Lady Chen quickly said aggrievedly, "How could you say that to me?"
Song Chuman was about to speak when the system popped up again.
[Ding! I've detected that the owner needs to modify one word in this plot. Do you want to modify it?]
"change."
{Old Mrs. Chen must ask He Xiaoshuang to take her and her son home today.}
{Looking at He Xiaoshuang's current appearance, you can tell that she is living a good life.}
{It is difficult for a divorced woman to remarry, let alone bring a burden with her. As long as she and her son meet Song Qingqing and say that they don't despise her, they will definitely be forgiven and let Song Qingqing support them and their son. Then they will have a good life again.}
