My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 41 Indiscriminate Tears

Facing the shocked and bewildered gazes of the crowd, Xin Nian pursed her lips, raised her hand to smooth her messy sideburns, and slowly softened her tone.

"I know it's too late to say all this now. Since things have already come to this, as a junior, I can't say anything more."

“But as the matriarch, you have to do something. Your third daughter-in-law is in this state, you have to take responsibility, right? Spoiling a child is no different from killing a child. If you continue to indulge her, she might lose her life.”

"Sixth, Sixth Sister, you're going too far with your words!" Zhuang's own daughter, Xin Mengxue, said weakly, twisting her sleeves.

The chick-like voice was immediately drowned out by the six girls' five words, "What am I talking about?"

Xin Mengxue was scolded and cried, hanging her head and sobbing.

Xin Wen'an, enraged, said, "Sixth girl, don't go too far! What kind of attitude is this? Huh? Are you just insulting everyone you see? Your third aunt is still your elder, you..."

"Elder, elder, who are you to call yourself an elder? Do you look like one? You're already exiled on the road, and you're still putting on airs and acting like a big shot in front of me."

"Instead of wasting your time, take good care of your own wife and daughter. Don't keep asking your elder sister to look after those three good-for-nothings. The eldest son's family is a widow and her children; they can barely take care of themselves, let alone you. What a debt you owe them!"

"Nobody is as good at stirring things up as your third family. You're poor and pretentious. And you're always causing trouble! You're always trying to get close to us. Even rotten meat isn't as despised as you."

"You, you, you!!" Xin Wen'an was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Zhuang covered her face and sobbed, "Oh dear, they really don't give us any way out, the younger generation is cursing us like this."

"Cry, cry your eyes out. Your whole family does nothing but cry. You'll cry yourself to death on the road sooner or later, then we'll just wrap you in a straw mat and save you the trouble of burying you!"

Everyone:...

Not only were the Xin family members shocked, but the convicts from the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion and the Enyi Marquis's Mansion, who were watching the spectacle from afar, were also dumbfounded.

This girl has a sharp tongue; whoever she criticizes is doomed.

The old lady's fingers trembled with anger. Unable to out-argue her granddaughter, she turned to look for her spendthrift son, "Fourth son, fourth son!"

The fourth brother was quite cunning. When his daughter started her indiscriminate chatter, he quietly hid behind her and went to watch the show.

There's no other reason than that once my daughter starts cooking, there's no stopping her...

The old lady called out to him loudly, and the good-for-nothing son had no choice but to run over and say with a silly grin, "Mom, this has nothing to do with you. Why are you blocking the way for the third son's family?"

"Oh dear, let the child handle his own affairs. Right? You should hurry up and eat some dry food, it'll be very bumpy riding on Miss Zhao's back, it won't be convenient for you to eat."

The old lady was so angry she almost fell over. "Your sixth daughter is in this state, and you, you, didn't you even say a word?"

"Mother, the children are all grown up now, with their own thoughts and principles. Let them handle their own affairs, and we'll just watch from the sidelines and not interfere."

The old lady was brought to tears by her spendthrift son... It's utterly unbelievable!
"Are you just going to spoil your daughter like this?!"

“Mother, what are you saying? I only have this one precious daughter. If I don’t spoil her, who else should I spoil? Besides, I know my daughter’s temperament very well. If the third son’s wife hadn’t provoked her, would she have gotten such a scolding?”

“Mother, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but the third son’s family is really going too far. As the fourth uncle, I can’t say much to the third sister-in-law, but you are her mother-in-law, so there are some things you should say, right? We can’t keep indulging them. These are just small things now, but if things get out of hand later, you’ll regret it.”

"Me?" The old lady sensed that the topic was going a bit off, and a question mark slowly appeared in her mind.

Weren't you just complaining about Sixth Sister? Why are you suddenly talking about Third Brother's wife?

The fourth brother continued his charade, "Sixth Sister is still young; it's understandable that she might say or do something outrageous. How old is Third Sister-in-law? Why are you arguing with a little girl?"

“Her child is older than my daughter, it’s time for her to be more sensible. Mother, you have to talk to her properly. Stop staring at other people’s homes all day long and asking about everything. She’s not born to be a gossip.”

"And then there's my third brother. It's not that I, as his younger brother, want to gossip about him behind his back. He really needs to be a little more discerning. As a husband, how could he not know what his wife is like?"

"He actually knows everything. I know my third brother. He's not that bad, just too scheming and complicated. In the future, if there's anything, let my third brother talk to me directly. Don't let my sister-in-law take the lead in everything and make things difficult for my wife and daughter."

The old lady was completely bewildered by her youngest son's rambling. "Well, that sixth girl shouldn't have treated her third uncle and aunt like that. You should at least say something..."

“I would definitely say that the child was just angry and didn’t mean any harm. It’s mainly my third sister-in-law. Why would she provoke that child for no reason? If she hadn’t gone up to him, would this have happened? So, Mother, you really need to have a good talk with my third sister-in-law.”

The old lady thought about it and realized it made some sense. "I understand. I'll tell my third son's wife to stop coming over to your place so often."

The spendthrift son grinned from ear to ear, "Mom, I knew it! You're the most understanding person in the family. As long as you're here, nothing serious will happen."

"At your age, you should be enjoying your retirement, but instead you've been exiled."

"But don't worry, as long as your son is here, he will make sure you have a slightly more comfortable journey. But you'll have to cooperate with him, right? My daughter-in-law has had it so tough, really... Don't cause her any trouble in the future, she's the most obedient. If you don't contact her, she'll be perfectly fine with everyone."

The old lady was taken away by the fourth son, leaving the third family crying and looking at each other. Even the old lady who could hold them up had been taken away by the spendthrift son. Who could they turn to for help now?
Zhuang was unwilling to accept this, feeling inexplicably scolded and her chest ached with anger.

But Xin Nian's words were too sharp, and she dared not confront her. In addition, the escorts were urging everyone to set off quickly, so in the end she could only curse under her breath and drag the sobbing Xin Mengxue away.

Old Zhang, the escort, came over and glanced at Xin Mochen, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Third Young Master is truly blessed; he's actually woken up."

He glanced at Xie Ninglan and her daughter with a probing look. "It seems that the medicine you used, Sixth Miss, is quite effective. I didn't know that your medical skills were so superb."

Xin Nian's gaze swept over the old man for a moment, then she smiled, "Zhang Jiechai, do you also want to take medicine?"

Old Zhang felt a chill in the other person's eyes, a chill that went straight to his heart...

Without thinking, she gave an awkward laugh and shook her head. "Haha, Sixth Miss is joking. We need to get going. Pack your things, we have to get to Hengxian Post Station today."
