At this moment, as if provoked by her father's words, she suddenly opened her eyes.
His eyes, which had been dull and lifeless, now shone with an astonishing light as he stared intently at Zhou Wencai.
His face was filled with hatred!
He used all his strength to hug Meng Xuan's neck tightly, his body trembling with anger.
"Get out!" Meng An roared at Zhou Wencai, his voice hoarse but unusually firm.
"You were the one who abandoned us, mother and child, first!"
You almost pushed my mother onto those monsters!
The little guy's voice wasn't loud, but every word was filled with anguish, as if he wanted to stab the guy to death!
When the plague first broke out, chaos ensued in the city.
The family of three stayed at home, and it was this seemingly respectable man who went out at the crucial moment, which attracted those terrifying monsters.
To save her father, the mother took a shovel and went outside to smash the monster's head.
However, this guy pushed Mencius' mother forward without hesitation and then turned and ran away!
If his mother hadn't reacted quickly and pulled him away, the two of them would probably have become those monsters by now!
This scene was deeply imprinted in Meng An's heart, filling him with resentment every day.
"Go away, Meng Xuan, you're just an ordinary peasant girl. Being able to marry a scholar like me is already a great blessing. What's wrong with using you to shield me from monsters?"
"From now on, I'm going to take the imperial examinations to become a scholar and a high-ranking official!"
"Only my life matters! How can a commoner compare to a scholar? Get your little bastard and leave now, don't block my way to see a doctor!"
"Go to hell!" Meng An had somehow pulled a dagger out of his clothes and was about to rush over.
"You bastard, how dare you point a knife at me!" Zhou Wencai roared in terror and anger.
Then, he raised his voice and shouted to the people around him, "Look at this! If this isn't an illegitimate child, what is it? The child can point a knife at his father!"
"He can point a dagger at me today, and he can kill me tomorrow. So what if I push them into a monster horde? They're asking for it!"
"I am just a student who has passed the imperial examinations. I will have to continue to take the exams and become an official in the imperial court. Am I not more valuable than her and this bastard?"
As soon as she finished speaking, some people looked at the woman with sympathy.
Some people strongly agree.
The scholar was right; in this day and age, scholars are indeed more valuable than ordinary farmers.
This scholar doesn't want this son. When he passes the imperial examination and lives in the capital, there will be plenty of people who can have sons for him!
Seeing this, Meng Xuan felt a chill run through her body.
Why is this person so persistent?
"Son, son, don't get agitated." She gripped the dagger tightly, afraid that her son would be branded as a patricide.
With such sins, even the Mountain Goddess wouldn't accept them as believers, would she?
Just when Meng Xuan was in despair, a faint voice came from not far away.
"Who's making such a racket over there?" Lin Anniang led Lin Chan over.
