Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 25
Chapter 25 There Was No More Food!
Old Master Su immediately said, “Move! Why don’t you move!”
The two of them stood up and walked to the Su Clan.
Madam Xie’s feet hurt as if he was crippled. Su Wanwan watched from behind and found it funny.
When they finally arrived at the Su Clan, the two of them told Su Wanwan that they were going to work in Huang Shunzhen’s house. Then, they sat up under a tree in the courtyard and leaned against it with their eyes closed.
Was she going to work on her own? Madam Xie and Old Master Su didn’t react at all, so how could she watch the show? Su Wanwan rubbed her nose and was thinking about how to get the two of them to go as well. Suddenly, she stood up and muttered, “Their family is very poor! There is no rice at all. If Su Wanwan, this little hoof, steals food, that would be bad!”
These words were like ice, causing Su Wanwan to suddenly become incomparably clear-headed on this hot day. She sneered and said, “Indeed, I don’t have any food in my home. If you don’t keep an eye on me, I’m really afraid that I’ll do something outrageous.”
Old Master Su did not believe in Su Wanwan anymore, so he went to supervise with Madam Reconciliation.
The two of them walked in front and Madam Xie lazily kicked the door open. “Hurry up and tidy up the rice! Put it away and take it to the barn to pour. If you leave a grain of rice on the ground somewhere else, I’ll skin you!”
“Yes!” Su Wanwan pretended to be afraid, but when she looked at the empty room, she couldn’t help but feel surprised. She didn’t expect the rats to not only do it cleanly, but also leave behind a large pile of “gifts”. There was a thick layer of rat poop on the floor and windowsill.
There was not a grain of rice on the ground, in the wardrobe, or anywhere else.
“What are you packing? Aren’t you packing the rice? Where’s the rice?” Su Wanwan deliberately asked.
“What do you think? Of course it’s rice” Madam Xie panicked when she saw the scene inside the room. She pulled Old Master Su over and the two of them stared blankly at the room.
“What, what’s going on” Old Master Su’s tone trembled.
If there was no more rice, they would really be finished!
All the rice in the house is here!
“Rats have eaten all the rice in one night?” Su Wanwan’s misfortune was diverted to the east.
Madam Xie stabilized herself and did not faint. Then, she wailed, “Oh my God! Why is my life so bad! The food in my family is gone!”
There were many people gathered near the Su Clan. Hearing this, they felt extremely puzzled. Didn’t they say yesterday that Huang Shunzhen had stolen food? Why did he say that there was no food today?
Everyone gathered to explore the situation. Seeing the mess in the room, they immediately covered their noses and came out.
Madam Xie and Old Master Su cried out in front of the door. Everyone was filled with sympathy. However, some people did not think so. Instead, they said, “Why does this kind of strange thing happen so often in the Su Clan? Rats eat all the food in the house overnight and arrogantly leave behind shit and urine! With so much rat shit, isn’t the Su Clan doing too much dirty work?”
“That’s right! After all, the Xie clan is also well-known to the Third Fang Clan!”
“Not only that! The two of them often carry their sons and daughters-in-law on their backs to eat meat!”
“Also! The chickens and ducks raised in my courtyard have been stolen time and time again. I squatted for several days and saw that the thief was Old Master Su!”
“…”
With that thought, everyone opened their minds to guess, and the words that they said shook out the dirty things that Madam Xie and Old Master Su had done to me. Su Wanwan listened with interest, watching her shriveled and skinny body that had been kicked into bean sprouts by the two of them, and her heart felt a chill for the two of them.
Madam Xie and Old Master Su’s faces turned pale, but more and more villagers were gathered. Everyone began to chat. Hearing their dirty deeds, they talked about their son and daughter-in-law. They had always said that they did not say anything bad about Third Fang. It was not that they did not want to say it, and Third Fang did not have anything dirty to say!
“Stop talking! Let’s disperse!” Old Master Su roared angrily.
Everyone was not afraid, and looked at Old Master Su with contempt, “You are a person who is worthy to shout at us? Now that the rice grain in our house has been bitten by a mouse, it is simply the will of heaven!”
“That’s right!”
“…”
When Madam Xie heard this, she was stunned. She cried and shouted. Her voice was hoarse. The crowd suddenly fell silent, and she even automatically made way for a path. The path was led by an old man with a serious expression. Su Wan Wan recognized that this was the village chief.
The village chief walked over. Seeing the situation inside, he asked Madam Xie and Old Master Su a few more questions. After that, he investigated the situation in Old Master Su’s home and organized everyone to help clean up the rat shit. Madam Xie and Old Master Su did not thank him. They watched from the side as others worked.
Seeing smoke rising in the distance, their stomachs growled. The two of them began to worry about food. Madam Xie took out the ginger handkerchief and wiped his eyes. He went to the courtyard and wailed, “Aiyo! Look at us two old men who were stolen by our daughter-in-law. Now the rats have eaten all the rice in the house! What are we going to do?”
Everyone could vaguely tell that something was wrong. Didn’t Madam Xie want to ask them for food? At most, they were lending food to the Xie clan, but how could the Xie clan repay them?
Many people quickly slipped away. Madam Xie quickly grabbed one of them and shouted, “Aunt Li, you have to help our family! I usually take good care of you!”
“What did you take care of me for?” Aunt Li was unhappy. Normally, Madam Xie would send a sweet potato to her family to pick up a large pile of vegetables in their field, so she had the nerve to ask her for help! This is too much!
Aunt Li hurriedly ran away. Madam Xie grabbed another person and ran away before she could speak. Madam Xie wanted to cry without tears.
Not long after, everyone filed out. Madam Xie and Old Master Su didn’t know what to do with their sad faces. The village chief wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Madam Xie and Old Master Su, “How do you usually accumulate character? Now you can see it. Don’t be too embarrassing.”
After saying that, the Village Chief also left.
Su Wanwan hid under the tree, yawned and was about to leave. She was grabbed by her arm and cried out in pain.
“Su Wanwan! Hurry up and bring me what you bought yesterday! I saw it clearly yesterday!”
“Let go!” Su Wanwan frowned and pinched Madam Jie with her back hand.
“Hurry up and give me the food! Otherwise, not only will I not let go, I will also beat you to death!” Cried Madam Xie.
Where did this fallacy come from? To ask for money and still threaten him like this!
“You have the face to ask. My mother traded it for a dowry! Besides, we have already split up. You didn’t even give our family a grain of rice when we split up. Now, you have the nerve to ask for food with your face!”
Madam Xie suddenly noticed that Su Wanwan’s strength had increased, as if she had crushed her bones. She was so angry that she opened her mouth and bit down.
“You still want to bite me?” Su Wanwan increased her strength and clenched her fists into fists, heading straight for Madam Xie’s mouth. In the next second, Madam Xie cried out in pain. “Aiyo!” With a shout, her mouth opened and a tooth fell out.
