She knew her son could not return after Ministry Councilor He took him away, so she gave up on trying to get him back.
She could still marry soone else after she left the An family. There was no need for her to suffer here. Besides, given that she had injured An Da so terribly, she knew very well how he would treat her in the future.
She could not afford to provoke him, but she could hide.
Heizhuang’s mother had always been a very realistic person. She had only beco even more realistic after she married An Da.
She would have left this disgusting family long ago if it were not for her son.
Why should she stay now that her son was gone?
When the people who greeted her heard that, they sighed internally and found Old An’s family pitiful.
“How pitiful,” a man sighed and remarked.
“I agree. A good family is ruined just like that. Life will be difficult for them in the future.”
Another woman chid in, “People should know their place. You’ll end up in a bad state sooner or later if you’re like Old An and his family. But we all live together in the sa village, so I feel sorry to see them like this.”
A more rational man snorted and said, “What’s there to pity? They deserved it. They sche against other people’s children all day long. Do these children deserve to be sold off by them?”
They deserved to be punished for harming soone—especially An Jiuyue, who had rescued them.
“Perhaps the heavens can’t stand it anymore, and this is their retribution! Are they not afraid their hands will rot and their guts will spill if they spend the money earned from selling other people’s children?” he cursed ruthlessly.
......
He had many children at ho. He itched to chase them away every ti he recalled what Aunt Wang said.
…
An Jiuyue did not care about what happened after.
She prepared a large spread of delicious food for lunch. She planned to enter the mountains again after eating.
The situation with Old An’s family progressed quite smoothly. If she predicted correctly, they would go to town and cause a scene outside Ministry Councilor He’s residence.
However, nobody could guarantee their return ho.
anwhile, Wang Xing’er had been living in the straw shed and could not escape no matter what. Her face was sickly green—she had contracted the epidemic disease and was in severe condition.
It was important for the sick to have a good ntality.
Her father, who had also contracted the disease, had held on for so many days. He still had energy and could eat, drink, and talk.
Wang Xing’er scolded everyone and criticized everything in the straw shed after discovering she had contracted the disease. She even blad her entire family countless tis. She was now in bed, unable to get up.
She had talked Mr Wang and his wife’s ears off. They could not do anything about their ungrateful daughter.
To avoid listening to Wang Xing’er’s nonsense, their son and daughter-in-law sent her to live in another straw shed. They only went over occasionally to ask her what she needed.
It was not that they did not think of her as their daughter and sister, but Wang Xing’er really dared to do whatever she wanted. They had no choice.
She did not dare fight her father and brother, but she dared to raise her fist against her sister-in-law.
