She questioned her mother-in-law with a pale face, “Mother, are you really going to watch my family await our deaths outside? Are you allowing your grandchildren grow up without their mother and be bullied by their future stepmother?”
“I…” The old woman staggered, and her heart softened.
“Xing’er, or why don’t you—”
“Or what? Tell her to get lost!”
The old woman was interrupted by an aged voice.
She turned around and saw her mother-in-law, an old woman with snow-white hair, standing behind everyone.
“Mother, why are you here?”
“You can’t be foolish at a ti like this.”
The woman quickly questioned the old woman, “Foolish? Grandmother, your granddaughter-in-law’s family is in trouble. As my in-laws, shouldn’t you care?”
She had to distract them so they would not chase them away.
“Why should I care?” The old woman glared at her.
“Wang Xing’er, you keep saying that you’re thinking about your family. But have you ever thought about what will happen to your son and daughter if you bring your family into the village to live here? What if they catch the epidemic disease?
“It is rightful to care about your parents. No one will stop you.
“But you can’t harm an entire village for the sake of your parents. Besides, you don’t even care about your husband and children. Since you can disregard their lives, why should we care about you?”
She was old and could perceive things more clearly. Her granddaughter-in-law seed okay, but that was only limited to the chores at ho—which her mother-in-law did.
Would she still be nice if she had to do all the chores instead? She might have thrown a tantrum long ago!
Soone yelled, “That’s right! People like her can even harm her son but still want to seek our sympathy shalessly. Hurry, we should chase them out. The longer they stay here, the more dangerous it will be for us.”
Everyone began hitting the family with their weapons almost imdiately.
Wang Xing’er quickly retreated with her parents and brothers. They fled for quite a distance.
Soone shouted at their backs, “Go away! Go far away! If we see you again, we’ll set you on fire!”
Wang Xing’er trembled with anger, but she had no choice but to leave with her family.
“You! Just you wait! I’ll definitely be back!”
This is all because of An Jiuyue! If she didn’t co up with this stupid idea for so many people to guard the village, I could have brought my family in to stay with my in-laws!
I would have made sure that nobody would chase us out! But we can’t even enter the village now.
They could only watch the peaceful village from afar.
“Watch out, An Jiuyue! I’ll definitely take revenge on you!”
When the n heard this, they wanted to rush forward and beat her to death.
“Why did she involve Jiuyue in this? How can there be such a person like her? How shaless!”
Although it was An Jiuyue’s idea, it was for the villagers’ sake.
