Yan'er could tell right from wrong and resolutely replied."Grandpa, Jinxiu and the others have already helped us a lot. We've been getting by on our own. I can't rely on them for everything, can I Wou...As soon as she finished speaking, villagers came out in pairs and threes, instantly surrounding the few people from the Zong family.
"What's going on"
"I mean, why did all the people from the Zong family come out and even grab their daughter-in-law's hands and cover her mouth"
"Could she be trying to run away"
Someone let out a snort of laughter. “In this day and age, even if she wanted to run, there’s not much point, is there Wherever there’s food and water, that’s where people go, isn't it That’s perfectly normal, right”
"So, living by running away is not a bad thing either."
But her husband, Zong Hu, isn't injured Isn't it abandoning her husband if she runs away now She's too heartless.
Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion, Wang Yan'er suddenly broke free from Zong Pingkang's hand and shouted at them.
"I did not abandon my husband to run away, I went to find a doctor for him because he is about to die!"
The villagers were astonished when they heard this. Zong Hu was about to die Before, there hadn't been a single word from the Zong family about anything happening.
Chief Wang was greeted by Fang Jinshu early in the morning and invited over. He pushed through the crowd and walked to the front.
"What's going on here" Elder Zong asked, looking at them.
The village head is here Now this is a problem.
"How many people are in the old house" was everyone's first reaction. Elder Zong thought it was a little strange. Haven't villagers been busy lately
How come they all just popped out at once, like they had planned it
Even the village head, Wang, was like that.
The old patriarch hurriedly gestured to Zong Pingkang to cover Wang Yan'er's mouth tightly, and then walked forward with a troubled expression to explain.
"Village head Wang, this girl saw that my grandson Zong Hu's arm wouldn't heal and deliberately said she wanted to go out to fetch a doctor. In reality, she just wanted to run away."
"If my great-grandson hadn't been born yet, she would have run off and we wouldn't have bothered with her."
"But the child is still young and breastfeeding. If the swallow flew away, I'm afraid the child wouldn't survive. I couldn't bear to see that happen, so I came out to catch her."
At least wait until the child is weaned and can eat solid food before leaving.
Everyone listened and thought it made sense, and they marveled that the old Patriarch Zong looked fierce but his youngest relative cared so much.
Village head Wang saw something was wrong and pointed at Zongpingkang, saying, "Just bring people back, just bring them back. What are you doing covering her mouth"
The old man chuckled and explained, “This little girl doesn’t know who she learned from. She never tells the truth. Whenever she sees someone, she says Little Tiger is going to die.”
"I'm afraid she'll go mad, so I just had Ping Kang stuff a cloth in her mouth."
The elder's reasoning was impeccable, Wang Yan'er had no words and could only shake her head desperately. Villagers gossiped about her one after another.
"Even after becoming a mother, your heart is still so cruel. You're giving up on your child who is so young."
"That's what I mean."
Everyone's attention was diverted by Elder Zong's successful maneuver, focusing on Wang Yan'er abandoning her husband and trying to run away. Village Chief Wang was at a loss as to how to respond, constantly wanting to look back at Fang Jinshiu.
So, today she couldn't let Old Master Zong take Sister Yan back. She came out.
"You say that Sister Yan escaped in a frenzy without telling the truth, then does your mouth hold the truth"
"Since this is a matter of life and death, we should at least meet Big Brother Zong Hu. If he's perfectly fine and healthy, we'll all go our separate ways, and you can do whatever you want with Wang Yan'er."
“But if he's really as close to death as Wang Yan'er said, and you're hiding it like this, preventing Wang Yan'er from going out to find a doctor, don't you intend to secretly kill Zong Hu!”
The villagers, upon hearing Fang Jinshu's words, also found them quite reasonable. After all, when it came to matters of life and death, everyone was very concerned.
"That's right, let us see how Zong Hu is doing. By the way, last time when Zong Hu got his arm injured, didn't he ask Zong Yu and his wife for compensation He wanted fifty taels, saying that he needed it to hire a doctor to treat Zong Hu."
"It's been so many days, his injury should be almost healed and he could come out to see people, right"
"Yeah, if you bring Zong Hu out, we'll believe you."
Seeing Old Master Zong's panicked expression, Fang Jinshi also joined the villagers in shouting, "Bring Zong Hu out! Otherwise, delaying his treatment will mean you are deliberately plotting to murder him!"
Zong Pingkang and Zong Lao San's faces were covered in cold sweat. The two brothers were timid, lacking the mental fortitude of their elder, Zong Laotou.
"Dad, what are we going to do"too.Now that they have clearly stated that they are not allowed to bring things found on the mountain back home, their lives will surely become even more difficult."Why won't you let us take them home...
