But when I heard this today, it felt particularly harsh.

Huang Cuicui looked at her son's increasingly dark face and hurriedly pulled Cao Yuling's sleeve, trying to get her to say less.

But Cao Yuling was used to being domineering at home because of Huang Cuicui. When she was young, she often snatched things from her younger brothers.

Later, when her brothers and sisters got married, she started to steal things from her sister-in-law and younger brothers' wives.

This is also the reason why the Cao family split up and made a big fuss. Only Cao Chengcai stayed in Muli'ao, while the other brothers all went to the village where their wives lived.

It was really because Huang Cuicui and her husband were extremely biased at the beginning.

"Yuling, Yuling!"

Under normal circumstances, Huang Cuicui would definitely stand on her daughter's side, but today, she was pinched by Cao Chengcai and was still a little scared.

Especially Cao Chengcai's strange instruction just now, asking Cao Dongnan to lock the door. What was he trying to do?

However, Cao Yuling did not understand her hint at all. Instead, she impatiently pushed the person away with her empty hand.

"Why are you keeping quiet? Come on, you don't want to monopolize the compensation, do you?"

"I said, where did the money and food go? Mom, now that my elder sister is back, you still don't tell me, right?"

Cao Yuling didn't understand what he meant at all. She just thought that the money was with Huang Cuicui and Cao Chengcai asked her to take it out.

She rolled her eyes, knowing that her mother's was hers, and it made no difference. She turned her head to block Huang Cuicui with her body, and said to Cao Chengcai with a cold face:

"What's with your attitude? Is that how you talk to mom? Who taught you to be so disrespectful?"

Cao Chengcai turned his gaze to Cao Yuling. Looking at the only daughter of her parents and thinking of what that man had said to her, he quickly walked forward and stretched out his hand to strangle Cao Yuling's neck.

Cao Yuling was caught off guard and backed away until she stopped at the wall. The child she was holding fell directly to the ground.

Huang Cuicui hurried to pick up the child, and the other children were so scared that they huddled together and dared not speak.

"I ask you, where is my money and food?"

"What food money? I don't know. Let go of me. I'll beat you to death later. Do you believe it?"

Cao Chengcai's face turned even colder. Ever since he was a child, his parents and sister would threaten to beat him to death at any time. He was really fed up with it.

"Die? My son and I are starving to death. Don't you care if you kill me? Before you kill me, I will kill you first and bury you with me."

Cao Yuling was frightened by Cao Chengcai's appearance and reached out her hand to Huang Cuicui for help, but Huang Cuicui hugged him and hid further away.

The people who were watching the excitement from a distance finally realized that something was wrong, and many of them went to call the team leader and the branch secretary.

A small number of people rushed towards Cao's house, and those who were close went over and knocked on the door.

When Huang Cuicui heard the knock on the door, she hurriedly put the child down and opened the door. The child was not injured, but was frightened.

He didn't cry even when he was put down. He stood aside biting his fingers and watched indifferently his own mother being strangled.

The door was quickly opened, and many people rushed to stop Cao Chengcai. When they were less than a hundred meters away, Cao Chengcai cried and shouted:

"Don't come over here, my mother won't let me and my child live anymore. I won't stop until I kill someone to be buried with me today. Don't come over to force me!"

The villagers hurriedly stopped and dared not get any closer.

Many of these people, who were from the same clan as the Cao family, were quietly persuading him, "Chengcai, what are you doing? Don't be upset. The child is still so young. He just lost his mother and now his father. How is he going to live in the future?"

"Yeah, tell us what's going on. Let's sit down and talk it over slowly, okay? You can't solve the problem this way!"

"Yes, this is your sister. What are you doing? Let go and listen to your aunt, okay?"

"Don't come over here. I told you not to come over here. If anyone comes over here, I will drag them to die together. Anyway, no one can survive, and my child can't survive either. Wuwu..."

Everyone paused and dared only to speak; no one dared to take another step forward.

"Chengcai, what the hell is going on? What happened?"

"Yes, Chengcai is usually the most honest person."

The villagers nearby all nodded in agreement. They had no idea what the man had done to force such an honest man into this state.

Huang Cuicui huddled at the doorway without saying a word, her eyes fixed on the child in her arms.

Someone noticed Cao Dongnan standing aside with red eyes from crying, and asked him what had happened.

Cao Dongnan didn't have so many concerns and quickly told the whole story.

“My grandma didn’t let us eat, but we were so hungry, so we wanted to find something to eat, but we found that there was nothing to eat at home, and we had no money either.

I just found out that my grandma gave away all the money and food in the house.”

Everyone opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.

He looked at Huang Cuicui who was sitting on the ground curled up in a ball, and then at Cao Dongnan. Suddenly, he wanted someone to refute what he said.

Otherwise it would be incredible.

Now, it is really hard to persuade them. After all, if you put yourself in their shoes, they would probably just drag people to their deaths, right?

That was the money saved for more than ten years, plus the food. Food is hard to buy nowadays. It was all relief food distributed by the county, and everyone didn't get much.

Now, without work points, there is no food, isn’t that asking for people’s lives?

"Sister-in-law, what you did is really unkind!"

"That's right!"

"Is there any misunderstanding? Sister-in-law, if you are joking with the child, you should speak up earlier, so that the child won't be anxious!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Gu Wan has been able to talk to the aunts who live close to her in the village recently. When Zhao Congyi chose the place, he specifically asked about it.

He was looking for a place near a family that wasn't prone to causing trouble. He thought that Gu Wan would live with him in the future, so he definitely wouldn't let her be bullied.

These days, Gu Wan has gradually become close to several families.

Among them, two families have daughters-in-law who are pregnant and take care of the children and cook at home.

This is actually a rare sight in the village. There are often people working in the fields even when they are about to give birth.

When hearing the news, Gu Wan was chatting with her new acquaintance Mrs. Wu in the yard and saw that everyone was running in the same direction.

Mrs. Wu was also a person who loved to join in the fun, so she quickly pulled Gu Wan along to go along.

Gu Wan had nothing to do, so she thought she might as well go and take a look. After all, who doesn’t like to eat melons?

By the time she and Wu Aifang reached the gate of Cao's house, the people had already crowded outside the door.

Wu Aifang really wanted to squeeze in to take a look, but there were too many people. Gu Wan followed beside them, terrified because this person was pregnant, but he looked even more agile than her.
