Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Fortunately, Xiao You was quick-witted and quick-handed. He keenly noticed Wang's abnormality, immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, ran behind Wang, and patted her back hard.

Wang finally let out a "wow" and spat out the biscuit stuck in her throat with difficulty.

Her face flushed and she was breathing heavily, gradually catching her breath.

Xiao Wei and his family were already immersed in the aroma of meat, completely ignoring Wang's embarrassed appearance.

Although the surrounding villagers were carrying their own simple meals, they could not resist the temptation of the aroma of meat and turned their eyes to Xiao Wei's family.

Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes slowly swept over Xiao Wei's family who were enjoying the meat, and she thought secretly in her heart.

Why didn't Xiao Wei take the initiative to bring the meat to her?

She had deliberately stopped Xiao You from snatching the meat because she hoped that Xiao Wei would be tactful enough to offer this delicacy to her.

However, as time passed, Xiao Wei remained indifferent, as if he had completely forgotten her existence.

In the Xiao family, Xiao Wei, who is famous for his filial piety, turned a blind eye to the old mother beside him at this moment.

Old Mrs. Xiao could no longer suppress her anger, and she slammed her cane heavily on the ground, making a dull sound.

She lowered her voice and asked in a reproachful tone, "Xiao Lao San, do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"

This question rang out among the crowd like a thunder, instantly breaking the silence at the dinner table.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Wei immediately stopped chewing, raised his head, and his eyes met his mother's stern gaze.

Old Madam Xiao's face was as gloomy as iron, and her tone became more severe: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and serve me a bowl of meat!"

Xiao Wei's gaze slowly moved towards the pot of meat, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

That pot of meat was not just food, it was what their whole family had gone through after a life-and-death ordeal, and what Xiao Zhixue had obtained by repelling the wolf with fearless courage.

Now, facing his mother's request, how should he give up this hard-earned delicacy?

He did not respond to his mother's order, but lowered his head silently and continued to chew the meat in the bowl.

Old Madam Xiao's anger was blazing. "You ignored my words, didn't you? I'm starving, and you're just enjoying this bowl of meat. Where's your conscience? I worked so hard to raise you, is it just for you to treat me like this?"

The villagers around were whispering to each other, with surprise and accusation in their eyes.

Another woman echoed indignantly: "It's just a bowl of meat, why are you so stingy? What's the point of raising a son like this?"

When Mrs. Xiao heard these discussions, the wrinkles on her face seemed to deepen. She stared at Xiao Wei, her eyes full of contempt and heartache.

In her eyes, Xiao Wei became more and more hateful, as if he was a cold-blooded and ruthless stranger.

Xiao Wei's heart was surging like the tide, with mixed feelings.

He usually works very diligently in the fields, and he takes care of all the big and small matters at home, working hard without complaint.

However, no matter how hard he tried, his mother's scolding always followed him, and he was even often labeled as an ungrateful person.

Now, the separation of the family has become an irreversible fact, but his mother still mercilessly criticizes him in front of outsiders. How can he swallow his anger?

He stood up suddenly, looking straight at Old Lady Xiao, his eyes firm and complicated: "This bowl of meat was hunted by my husband and I in the mountains under the scorching sun, risking our lives. And this pot, you thought it was too heavy and refused to take it, so we gritted our teeth and carried it for dozens of miles along the mountain road. If you hadn't insisted on selling San Ya, we wouldn't have come to the point of splitting up today!"

As he finished speaking, Xiao Wei's eyes turned slightly red.

These words made the surrounding villagers instantly understand the truth of the matter.

Everyone put aside their previous accusations and instead looked at them with sympathy and understanding.

Old Mrs. Xiao was so angry at Xiao Wei's rebuttal that her face turned blue, her breathing became rapid, and she lost all her face.

Regardless of her old age, she slapped her chest and stamped her feet, crying out at the top of her lungs: "You rebellious son, you have eaten and used my things since you were a child, but in the end you refused to let me even have a piece of meat. If I had known you were so cruel, I should have strangled you to death when you were born, so that I would not have to suffer this punishment today!"

Zhou Shuqiong looked at her husband with heartache. She knew very well that if this continued, Xiao Wei would be completely labeled as an "unfilial son".

She gently tugged at Xiao Wei's sleeve, her gentle yet resolute eyes seemed to say, "Forget it, stop arguing with your mother."

Xiao Wei's eyes were slightly red and he sat down feeling aggrieved.

Wang watched coldly from the side, secretly happy when she saw Xiao Wei's family making a fool of themselves in front of everyone.

She put on a fake concern on her face, patted Old Madam Xiao's back in a pretentious manner, and did not forget to fan the flames: "Mother, there is no need to be angry over that unfilial son. It is not worth it to get sick from anger."

However, Wang's words not only failed to calm Mrs. Xiao, but made her so angry that her whole body trembled and her face turned from ashen to purple.

Seeing the old lady so angry, Wang became even more proud, "I said, did the third elder family use some shameful means to get the meat?"

A murderous intent quietly appeared in Xiao Zhixue's eyes.

If this sarcastic woman like Wang is not punished, I'm afraid she will never learn to restrain her vicious mouth.

Just as Wang's lips curled up into a sinister smile, ready to stir up trouble again, a bloodstained wolf head flew over.

When the villagers witnessed this scene, they fled in panic, fearing that they would be affected by the terrifying wolf head.

Before Wang could react to what was happening, the wolf's head hit her face accurately.

There was only a dull "bang" sound, and the force of the collision between the wolf's head and Wang's face was so great that she fell on her back on the ground in an instant, unconscious.

Old Mrs. Xiao was originally immersed in her grief wails when she suddenly saw Wang being knocked unconscious by the wolf head.

She lost consciousness instantly, couldn't catch her breath, and fainted.

Xiao You and his son Xiao Yunkai were also frightened out of their wits by the sudden appearance of the wolf head.

Xiao Yunkai pointed at the wolf's head with trembling fingers and cried out in a sobbing voice: "Dad, it's a wolf's head! It's a wolf's head!"

Xiao You's face was as pale as paper, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He quickly realized the origin of the wolf head.

They were sitting around the fire, enjoying a rare meat feast.

Thinking of this, Xiao You felt a chill in his heart. He no longer had time to argue with Xiao Weijia. The most important thing at the moment was to save the unconscious old lady Xiao.

He hurried towards Old Lady Xiao, squatted down, and nervously checked her condition.

The old lady's eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, and her breath was so weak that it was almost undetectable.

He shook the old lady's body vigorously, calling out at the top of his lungs: "Mom, wake up! Please don't be in any trouble!"
