The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law with a hard time expressing her feelings. "You are using tricks in front of me, the master of tricks. This trick..."
"Mom, you don't have to say it so miserably, but I have to do it. Also, you and my grandma are really not in the same boat, right?
Otherwise, why do they all speak in the same lewd way? "
Zhang Xinxiang looked at the old lady. It turned out that her mother-in-law also liked to say such things like her!
Then, after observing the old lady's calmness despite the pressure, I realized.
Well, my mother-in-law really always uses this trick on the children. When did she become so shrewd?
However, this does not stop her from saying good things.
"Mom, this shows that we are truly destined to be together. So many bad things happened in our family, and I met the fourth brother in my misfortune, just to complete the relationship between you and me as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Mom, I, the fourth brother, and the children will take care of you in your old age. Don't worry, you can do whatever you want when the time comes.
If you want to kill or beat someone up, I will definitely be the one handing you the knife..."
Looking at his beautiful mother who had completely changed from her previous cold and indifferent look, Xiushui was speechless.
So, this is the real mother. She keeps strangers away and doesn’t like to talk much when she is outside.
In fact, she was afraid that others would see through her cheerful and funny nature.
She retracted her earlier opinion, her father and such a mother were a perfect match.
Xiushui proposed only after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were almost in love.
"Grandma, Mom, we have to get down to business now. Have you forgotten about the city defense chief of this place?"
When the serious matter was mentioned, Zhang Xinxiang exclaimed in surprise.
"That's all. I forgot about the few children I rescued. Oh, by the way, Mom, do you know if the people from Zhougang Village and Wanzi Village next door have also fled the famine?"
The group of children I rescued earlier were mostly from our area, and I thought that if I could meet their relatives one day, I could reunite them with them."
“How many children have you rescued?”
Thinking about the children of Chu Laowu and others who were separated, the Qian family, the Li family, the Luo family and the Chu family, perhaps the children rescued by the daughter-in-law are from these families.
“Oh, the dozen or so children I rescued were from the Qian family, the Li family, the Luo family, and the Chu family.
They said they were robbed by bandits and then sold to merchants in Shisha City. All the children who were to be offered as sacrifices here had to pass through my hands, so I used my authority to keep them close to me.
"I'm talking about being a guard, training for the future, but really, I'm thinking we're all from the same hometown, so I'll save as many as I can. It's a pity that I have limited spots available, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save just the people in our area."
The old lady and Xiushui were both very excited.
“There’s someone with the surname Chu. Needless to say, this group of people are the lost children from those families.
Great! I wish I could find them all.”
Xiushui shook her head.
"Grandma, I'm afraid we can't find them all, but from what my mother said, it's probably true that we saved most of them. But even so, those families should be grateful."
"Yes, especially your Uncle Chu Wu, who often looks at you with a gloomy face.
His younger sister was killed by the eldest wife. If the remaining boys were still alive, your fifth uncle wouldn't be so sad every time.
I have to go and tell someone right away."
Xiushui thought that she had to take her mother with her when she went to see the city defense commander.
And we must not delay any longer if we are to rescue those children.
"Mom, tell me exactly where those people are. Do you want me to give them some tokens to convince them?
I asked grandma to take Uncle Chu Wu and the others to identify the person."
“Okay, mother, I’ll take you directly to the red second floor next to the city lord. That’s where I live.
Just tell them that Lan Shuitong sent someone to deliver the message and they will open the door.
In fact, if you just take the adults with you, they will be able to open the door for the children."
The old lady laughed.
"Yes, that's right. I'll go and inform those families now. Oh, daughter-in-law, you've really done a great deed this time.
Ever since those people were separated from the children, every time they saw us with the children, they would be sad and cry.
Now, we can help them find their children, and their spirits can be restored."
Zhang Xinxiang nodded in agreement, then became sad.
"Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to save more children. I've worked hard to climb to the position of priest, but I can only save 10 to 20 children every year."
Xiushui held her hand. "Mom, you've done a great job saving so many people. Let's go and see what happened to the city's defense chief."
"Xiu'er, actually, I don't really want to go see him. The moment I see him, I'll think of his disgusting appearance."
Seeing her look of disgust, Xiushui didn't force her.
"Then why don't you stay at home with my dad? If my dad knew you didn't leave him, he would be so happy that he would go crazy."
Being teased by her eldest daughter, Zhang Xinxiang glared at her.
"You're still young and don't understand."
Xiushui: I'm not young. I've been in love several times and even become a mother in my dreams. You don't know the vicissitudes of life your eldest daughter has gone through.
"Mom, I know everything about your daughter. Well, I'm going to find the city defense commander."
The city defense master is such a disgusting thing that he must be dealt with.
At this time, the city defense lord's place was in chaos since countless insects, ants, snakes and rats rushed over.
Although the city defense chief claimed to be a god-like existence, he was still terrified when he encountered so many little mole crickets.
Mrs. Jia kept swatting the rats and snakes off her body.
"Master, this must be retribution. I told you not to do anything extreme, but you refused to believe me. Now, with retribution coming to us, how can we live?"
"Shut up."
Jia Linli roared loudly.
He was already frightened by the countless mole crickets, and after being nagged by the woman, he wanted to kill the rats even more.
However, the more he hit them, the more frantically they attacked him.
Seeing the endless insects and rats filling the house, Jia Linli began to suspect that he had done too many evil things.
"Dad, save me, save me."
"Dad, my daughter doesn't want to die."
"Grandpa, Grandpa, save your grandson, ah, it hurts, it hurts so much..."
After hearing his beloved son and daughter, and his most beloved grandson screaming one after another, leaving only a pile of bones, Jia Linli panicked.
He fell to the ground with a plop.
"God, I'm wrong. I'm guilty. I shouldn't have used your name to deceive those civilians. Please let me go. Let me go.
You are a deity, so you must be tolerant and generous. Take these disgusting things away immediately, otherwise you are not our most beloved deity."
"Oh, then, Lord Jia, what should a deity do to earn your love and respect? If someone does something evil and simply asks for mercy, does that mean they must be forgiven?
Or, for someone like you who deceived everyone just to satisfy your own selfish desires, is it considered magnanimous to just kneel down and pay your respects before letting you go back to enjoying life?
