The three men eventually went back, intending to take A-Lian away after she calmed down.
So they didn't go far, staying nearby, and the whole family kept an eye on what was happening.
The people here all thought that Ah Lian had suffered a shock, and they didn't dare to offer any words of comfort. Besides, they weren't familiar with Ah Lian, so no one went to offer any solace.
At first, an old woman tried to offer some words of comfort, but Ah Lian wouldn't listen. She covered her ears, screamed, and ran away. After that, no one dared to go there anymore.
Su Nanxi watched coldly from the sidelines. If it's acting, then let her act a little longer!
Mo Qinghe seemed oblivious to what had happened, and immediately handed Su Nanxi water, his face full of flattery, "Wife, drink more, look how thirsty you are! Your lips are almost cracked! Here, have another sip!"
He scoffed inwardly, "What's it to me!"
The most important thing is the wife's affairs!
He doesn't care at all about those scheming women!
What can be hidden from him?
Don't think he's still the same big idiot who doesn't understand anything!
His wife gave him so many books to read, he couldn't just read them for nothing and not gain anything, otherwise he would be letting his wife down for all her hard work!
Are those books available to just anyone?
No, it's even harder to rent one!
If you don't have any money in your pocket and no connections, forget about it!
His wife encouraged him to read more and study more, and he couldn't let her down!
Although his wife didn't ask him to pass the imperial examinations and become a high-ranking official, or for him to obtain an official title for her, he couldn't let her efforts go to waste!
But then again, did the wife actually check? Does she even know what books she gave out?
Wow, there's all sorts of stuff!
It covers everything from astronomy to geography, and also includes books on how to be a person, how to conduct oneself, philosophy, education, and emotions—it really has a few books on everything!
He was very curious about where his wife had taken the book from.
It's like he's giving them away for free. He buys several books at a time. If he hadn't returned them all later, he would have thought his wife owned a bookstore!
And you know what? He actually learned a lot from the book!
Even Old Man Xu cherishes those books, which means they're not vulgar!
If you read a lot of books, you'll naturally understand some things!
Through observation and deduction, he roughly figured out what was going on.
So I don't want to deal with it, but that person can't stay any longer.
Stay away from anything your wife doesn't like!
The village chief was quite nervous, but when he saw that Su Nanxi was not worried at all and was chatting affectionately with Mo Qinghe, he was stunned.
Should he be nervous and worried?
The mute woman wasn't someone who lacked tact. She didn't comfort A-Lian, so does that mean A-Lian needed time to calm down on her own?
There are some things that others really can't help with, and saying too much is actually bad, because they don't really know Ah Lian's true situation, and Ah Lian doesn't tell them either.
Let her calm down first!
If she can't figure it out herself, she'll still cause trouble.
The village chief glanced at the distance and saw that the three men had returned to that side, glancing back from time to time, seemingly genuinely concerned about A-Lian.
well!
It's so rare to have such family members!
Anyone else would have run away long ago; who cares about their niece!
I can barely manage my own children anymore, so taking on another one would just be another mouth to feed!
When food is scarce, nobody wants to get involved in other people's business; even a niece isn't the closest relative!
It's because I couldn't bear it and felt sorry for her that I wanted to take her back. Sigh, I wonder if Ah Lian has damaged her brain. Doesn't she recognize her own family?
If that's not the case, why would we take her back? What benefit would she get?
They look like family. They say nephews resemble their uncles, and Ah Lian does indeed look five or six parts like those three!
There can't be that many coincidences, right?
The village chief made a series of wild guesses in his mind, and finally looked at Su Nanxi, and in a daze he understood.
I couldn't help but sigh heavily a few times!
He didn't want to say more; it was someone else's choice. But he believed that the mute woman wasn't stupid and would definitely not get what she wanted.
They are also refugees, not a charity. They are short of people to help and rescue them, so why would they want to cause trouble and become a burden?
The mute girl is not one to concern herself with affairs; she certainly doesn't want to cause trouble for herself. Besides, that girl is too calculating!
The mute woman is perceptive; she couldn't possibly be oblivious. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so relaxed. She probably saw through it all long ago, but just didn't say anything!
well!
The village chief sighed, "He's been worrying about this for so long!"
Ah Lian went to a side to calm down, but when she saw that no one came to comfort her, she felt a little annoyed. It was one thing for her not to want to be disturbed, but it was another thing for these people to have no compassion.
Actually, what Ah Lian wanted most was for Su Nanxi to talk to her, so that she could take the initiative, but no matter what she did, no one came!
Gradually, I started to panic. Could it be that they really were going to abandon her?
Su Nanxi snorted, "Don't take yourself too seriously!"
It was just a chance encounter, yet she acts as if someone owes her something; that's just ungrateful.
Anyway, Su Nanxi wouldn't offer any comfort; she just seemed fine.
Everyone was resting, eating dry rations and drinking water, leaning against tree roots, looking quite relaxed.
The Mo family also started eating. Of course, they weren't eating wild vegetables and coarse grain cakes, but rice cakes, dried meat, and fruit!
That's quite a feast!
Others could only watch with envy, not daring to say anything, and could only look down at the pancake in their hands, chewing slowly.
Sigh, it's good enough to have food at all. In ten days or so, we won't even have any pancakes left!
Don't think about those unnecessary things!
Ah Lian smelled the aroma of meat, and her stomach rumbled loudly. She was also very hungry, having walked for a long time and was exhausted.
However, no one on the field came to care about her or ask her anything, and her eyes were full of grievance and sadness.
Didn't anyone notice that she had no food?
The Mo family is only concerned with their own food; don't they know she hasn't come back?
The Mo family is heartless too!
No matter how unhappy Ah Lian was or how much she cursed inwardly, the Mo family continued to eat and drink as usual, completely unaffected!
Whether Ah Lian goes back or not, what does it have to do with them?
They're not even related to her family. They kindly saved her, so there's no reason for them to be responsible for her for the rest of her life.
Her relatives have come to her door, but she's unwilling to go back. That's her problem, not that they're not helping!
As for why they don't go back, or what family conflicts might be involved, that's not something they should be concerned with!
Is it acceptable to try and cling to someone you helped once?
Seeing that everyone had rested enough, the village chief told them to pack up, count their family members, and prepare to set off.
Ah Lian thought that this was the end of it and that she could continue following along, and she felt a surge of secret joy.
But her happiness was short-lived, because the village chief called her over, and she had to go.
If we don't go, that's even better. We can all just leave and ignore each other!
The village chief asked her very seriously, "Why don't you want to go back with your uncles?"
Ah Lian remained silent for a long time.
