If they were the ones who had their food stolen, they would scold the thief until their ancestors leaped up from their graves!
The other families also started scolding their sons.
How could their sons do such a thing? An Jiuyue had rescued them from the flood. She was already being nice to them. How could they steal her food?
Even if they wanted to steal food, they should not steal hers. That would be inhumane!
While scolding the n, soone rembered how Mrs. Jin told them that An Jiuyue had a feud with An?Gouzi1, claiming she captured everyone because she was too petty.
It turned out that that was not true!
A woman could not tolerate Mrs. Jin’s behavior and criticized her, “Mrs. Jin, Jiuyue saved you for nothing! You should have drowned in the floodwaters!”
“I…”
Mrs. Jin opened her mouth but did not know how to reply.
She knew stealing An Jiuyue’s food was wrong. However, her children were about to starve to death!
She did not care whose food it belonged. It would be their survival food the mont it hit her cooking pot!
She turned around and glared fiercely at An Jiuyue, wishing she could bite off a piece of her flesh.
An Jiuyue can kill such a big wild boar. Does she lack food? What’s wrong with giving so to our families? Why does she have to blow things up? What good will it do for her?
......
“Jiuyue, you have so much food. Why can’t you give so to my family? You know my children can’t stand feeling hungry.”
An Jiuyue looked at her with a mocking smile.
This woman is really amusing! So what if I have a lot of food at ho? Am I obliged to give it to others?
“Do you have more children than ?” she retorted.
“Well…”
Mrs. Jin was speechless. Indeed, there were many children in An Jiuyue’s family now. She had also heard that An Jiuyue had registered the other three children in the family genealogy.
“You do have a few children, but those three are not your biological children. Why are you feeding them so well? They can just drink so wild vegetable soup. Can’t you save so food for my family—”
“So?” An Jiuyue could not be bothered to listen to her and interrupted her. “So your children are my biological children?”
They were not her biological children either. She did not understand why she should give the food to other children instead of the ones she was raising.
“Mrs. Jin, your children must be invaluable! I’m supposed to give my food to your children and not mine? You’re really shaless! Must everyone save so food for your family?
“Look at how pitiful you sound! Do you have that many children? Ask everyone here. Which family doesn’t have children?
“Are you implying that your children are children, but others’ children aren’t children? They deserve to be robbed of their food and starved to death?”
Mrs. Jin shook her head quickly. “I… I don’t an that.”
She never wanted anyone’s child to starve to death. She simply did not have any food at ho and happened to recall that An Jiuyue’s family had food.
Hence, she and her husband had designs on her food.
