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

Xiao Zhixue whispered in his ear with a smile on her face: "Mom, that fall just made me understand. Now I am not stupid anymore. But this matter can only be known to us, and we must not let other people in the Xiao family know."

When Zhou Shuqiong heard this, he was overjoyed and promised to keep it a secret.

Fan Yanmu, supported by Ying One and Ying Two, followed closely behind, his eyes always fixed on Xiao Zhixue.

Xiao Zhixue felt the scrutinizing gaze behind her, but she didn't care.

At this moment, these three people were nothing but insignificant existences to her.

What's more, one of them was poisoned and needed her medical skills to save him.

After many hardships, the group finally reached the top of the mountain.

At this time, the torrent had already submerged halfway up the mountain. If it had been a moment later, it would have been swept away.

On the top of the mountain, the villagers were all exhausted and sat on the ground.

Old Mrs. Xiao closed her eyes and sat steadily on the big rock. Xiao You and his wife and their children settled down around her.

Wang was sharp-eyed and noticed that Xiao Wei's family was late, followed by three strangers whom she had never seen before.

She said sarcastically, "Oh my, you guys were climbing slowly. I thought you were all swept away by the flood!"

Xiao You glanced at Xiao Wei without saying a word.

Ever since Xiao Wei's family had a silly daughter, he no longer had a good attitude towards this family.

Furthermore, Xiao Wei is not good at speaking, and the two brothers usually don’t say a word to each other.

Xiao Wei glared at Wang fiercely, silently took off the bag on his back, and then led Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan to find an open space to sit down.

Zhou Shuqiong ignored Wang's provocation, took Xiao Zhixue's hand, and sat down on the other side.

The villagers all looked over here, and after a brief greeting, they each found a place to rest.

Fan Yanmu covered the wound on his abdomen and, supported by Ying Yi and Ying Er, sat next to Xiao Wei.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Wang was embarrassed and became even more arrogant: "I say, Third Brother's wife, you brought three strangers up the mountain quietly, why didn't you inform everyone? People who don't know the truth will think you are kidnapping someone's lover!"

The village chief also noticed Fan Yanmu and the other two. He was about to stand up and ask them which disaster-stricken village they were from, but Wang was still chattering: "I say, you must be exhausted dragging a fool up the mountain. In my opinion, when we get to Jinguan Town, we can just sell her and get some silver for ourselves."

Zhou Shuqiong was about to retort when Xiao Zhixue spoke first: "Second Aunt is in her prime, I think it would be better to sell her to a wealthy family as a concubine. She will definitely earn much more money than a fool like me."

As soon as Xiao Zhixue said this, the villagers burst into laughter.

Wang was so angry that her face turned blue and white. She never expected that she would be humiliated by a silly girl.

Xiao You on the side couldn't stand it any longer. How dare this idiot talk nonsense like that? He even suggested selling his second aunt as a concubine. How could he talk to his elders like that?

Xiao You stood up and shouted angrily: "You silly girl, it's not your turn to interrupt when the elders are talking!"

Xiao Zhixue sneered at Xiao You and said bluntly, "Oh, you still remember that you are the elder? I was just saying that it was someone shameless who was running wild in the street!"

After that, she turned to Zhou Shuqiong, deliberately put on a silly expression, and laughed: "Mom, am I right to say that?"

Zhou Shuqiong had never had a good impression of Wang, and was very angry just now.

Now after hearing what Xiao Zhixue said, I felt refreshed.

She patted Xiao Zhixue's hand gently. After this child recovered from her illness, it was really hard to handle when she started scolding people.

"You..." Wang pointed her finger directly at Xiao Zhixue, and was about to fire another barrage of criticism in anger.

Suddenly, the cane in Old Madam Xiao's hand fell heavily to the ground, and she shouted, "That's enough! Your legs are so weak from walking, yet you are still full of energy and fighting with a fool!"

The old lady widened her eyes and looked at Wang with disgust.

This second daughter-in-law is like an endless broken gong, yelling at the top of her voice every day and making people feel upset.

After being yelled at by the old lady, Wang instantly wilted and shut her mouth tightly. However, she had no way to vent her anger in her heart. She could only stare at Xiao Zhixue fiercely, her eyes like knives, cutting into her again and again.

Xiao Zhixue's performance today was completely different from her usual stupidity. Instead, she was eloquent and blunt in scolding people, which left Wang puzzled.

Old Madam Xiao spoke again in a deep voice: "Everyone is here today, let's make it clear. I will definitely sell this disaster star. If the third brother doesn't agree, then we will split up the family immediately! Wherever your family wants to go to escape the famine, it has nothing to do with our Xiao family!"

Xiao Wei, who always put filial piety first, couldn't help but say, "Mother, why can't you tolerate Zhixue? She is your granddaughter!"

Zhou Shuqiong's eyes were reddened by her mother-in-law's words: "Mom, do you really have to divide the family?"

Old Madam Xiao closed her eyes and said coldly: "Either sell the disaster star, or split the family, there is no room for negotiation!"

Xiao Wei was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot, knowing full well that his mother had always disliked their family.

The eldest son has been weak since childhood and cannot do heavy work.

The youngest daughter, Xiao Zhixue, was born mentally retarded and had no labor force.

To this end, he got up early and went to bed late, worked very hard, and even handed over all the money he earned from odd jobs to subsidize the family, but the old lady was still dissatisfied with them.

Now that a flood has hit, the entire village has moved here, and the future is still uncertain, but she insists on dividing the family at this time.

Xiao Wei struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since mother said so, let's split up."

After saying this, he turned his head and said no more words, his face looking gloomy.

Zhou Shuqiong felt mixed emotions, but as a daughter-in-law, what could she do?

The family scandal should have been covered up, but the mother-in-law insisted on making a big fuss about dividing the family property in front of the whole village.

Forget it, let’s just break up. Life will go on regardless of who is gone.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhixue was full of joy, clapping her hands in approval, "It's good to separate the family. From now on, I won't see anything, and I won't have to see a few more annoying faces. But let me make a promise first, when our family is enjoying the good food and drinks, don't come running over to smell the food like a lapdog."

When Old Mrs. Xiao heard this, she almost passed out from anger.

Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan were secretly delighted and felt very happy.

Wang's rage soared upon hearing this, and she pointed her finger at Xiao Zhixue: "You fool, are you still dreaming of having a life of luxury in the future? Bah! Why don't you take a piss and reflect on your own behavior? Even if you and your family beg on the streets in the future, no one will reward you!"

Xiao Zhixue was not angry at Wang's bad words. Instead, she smiled and scratched her ears. She turned to Zhou Shuqiong and said something shocking: "Mom, did you hear that? There was a bitch barking just now."

Zhou Shuqiong had never had a good impression of Wang, and now that her mother-in-law had decided to divide the family, she no longer needed to show any mercy to Wang.

"Zhixue is right. I also heard the bitch's barking." She patted Xiao Zhixue's hand and responded with a smile.

Wang's face suddenly turned pale. She stood up and approached Xiao Zhixue and Zhou Shuqiong aggressively, as if she would not give up until she had a fight.
