This made all the villagers who were preparing to set off look at them.
Seeing that the people in Old Lady Wen's family were in high spirits, they all looked towards the main house of the Wen family.
Compared with the old lady's family, the eldest wife's family was in a state of confusion. Some were lazy and cowardly, huddled in a daze.
Some would only move when someone yelled at them. More often, they would grab something and then throw it away thinking of something else.
Then, without paying attention to the beginning or the end, he grabbed things randomly, and the whole cart was in a mess.
Someone shook his head.
"This old Xu is really... he's just throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds. He can't live a good life, but he has to do something stupid.
Now that I'm involved with Widow Ma, I don't know how long we can get by."
"I used to think Xu Qingshan was a decent person, and I didn't think he was blind or frivolous.
What happened recently made it clear that this person is really good at pretending."
"I say you too, who wouldn't be tempted by a pair of sisters walking around in front of them?"
"What do you mean, is there something else going on here?"
Wen Xiushui didn't understand, it was clearly the time to flee from famine.
Why are they all so excited about gossip? But even though they're gossiping, they're not slowing down at all...
I guess it's also a stress response from years of training?
Widow Ma, who was not far away, had no expression on her face, but she looked at Ma Sanniang who was not far away without leaving any trace.
Ever since fleeing the famine, Ma Sanniang has forced her husband and children to go with her.
And she... of course had to cling to Old Man Xu's family.
In this way, they formed a group with the eldest branch of the Wen family.
She hadn't thought much about it at first, but now she heard all sorts of rumors, and the more she thought about it, the uglier her face became.
"Mom, don't listen to their nonsense. As long as you marry Uncle Xu, you will be a legitimate couple."
Looking at her daughter who didn't have time to leave for her parents' home this time, Widow Ma had a headache again.
When we were about to leave, everyone was busy packing.
She accidentally saw Xu Qingshan stuff a piece of cake into her daughter's hand, and thought her daughter would give it to her secretly.
However, my daughter blushed and walked away, chewing the pancake quietly...
Widow Ma's pupils constricted as everyone took a short break on the road.
She pulled her daughter aside.
"Why didn't you give me the bread your uncle gave you? What did your uncle do to you?
What's going on between you and your son-in-law? Why did your son-in-law say he married a piece of junk?
Wen Mingtao shook her head in panic.
"Mom, I don't understand what you're talking about. I... I wanted to give you the cake, but I was too hungry.
Mom, I won’t do this again.”
Staring at her daughter, Widow Ma finally spoke.
"Bitch! If you dare to have anything to do with Xu Qingshan, I will tear your face off."
After the mother and daughter left, a little head popped out from the grass.
"Strange, what do these mother and daughter mean? Why is the mother calling her daughter a bitch?"
The little girl found Wen Xiushui by picking up a green grass and pulled her sister aside.
"Sister, let me tell you..."
After saying that, Xiulan asked her sister in confusion.
"Sister, what do you think these mother and daughter mean? Did I misunderstand? Why do I feel that Widow Ma thinks her daughter and my grandfather... No, that can't be right?"
Xiushui's face was cold. "Don't think too much about it. Give me the grass and I'll see if I can plant it."
In fact, the grass that Xiulan pulled this time can be planted, and it is edible and can be used as medicine.
The specific effects have been upgraded and are now displayed.
“Original amaranth is edible. It can be stir-fried, mixed with cold water, or made into soup or dumplings.
Medicinal value..."
Without looking at the rest of the story carefully, Xiushui felt that she still had to tell her grandmother about her grandfather's misfortune.
There was definitely no other thought in their mind. To the grandfather and grandson, this was just a piece of gossip.
Wen Bibo's hands moved swiftly, and soon the base of a straw mat was woven.
"That old fellow is not a good person. He has become increasingly open about it over the past decade or so, and it has something to do with his extramarital affairs.
I don't believe that he was not greedy for other things when he was with the woman named Ma. How could the ugly widow Ma keep him company for so long?
Look, if we just keep our eyes on it, we can see a lot of drama."
After talking to the milk, everyone is ready to go again.
There is no break at noon. This short break is for everyone to replenish their food.
So this walk will take another day.
However, what surprised Xiushui was that when it was almost evening today, the old village chief actually asked everyone to stop.
Moreover, he called everyone to a meeting.
"There's some bad news. According to our village hunter Wen Laoba, there's Sancha Mountain ahead.
There were bandits at that fork in the road in the early years. Some of the people we followed wanted to take a detour, but the rich ones just paid the toll directly.
If we take a detour, since it goes deep into the mountains, they clearly say that we should go our separate ways."
This means that the people from the three villages who had originally fled the famine together will now have to disperse.
"There is also good news. Wen Laoba has been to this area before when hunting, so he can barely lead us for the first half of the journey.
But it got really tough later on. After all, he didn’t even make it through the entire mountain range.”
"I called everyone together to discuss this. If we decide to go around the mountain road, even if we go the wrong way, you can't blame Lao Ba.
If you have money, you can follow the group of rich people in front and pay them for the toll to get through.
So, what is everyone’s decision now, go straight or take a detour?
If you want to go directly, I will tell the rich people and you should follow them quickly.
Let’s make the decision!”
