The evil woman travels through the book and saves the sinners in the famine year

"Xin'er, don't be angry. Lu Zhitao is a villain who has achieved success now, but we are under his roof and have to bow our heads. Don't be so impulsive in the future!"

Huo Ziyuan was exhausted trying to comfort his wife. If the Huo family didn't still rely on her, he would have wanted to slap her a few times for being so ignorant of the current situation.

He was filled with irritation. Lu Zhitao had changed, and Song Zhuxin had also become unreasonable!

He remembered that once upon a time, Lu Zhitao only had him in her eyes and heart, and she often shared her cleverness with him.

At that time, he could guess what she was thinking at a glance, but now, an invisible barrier seemed to tear the relationship between them apart.

No matter how hard he tried to guess, he couldn't figure it out. Thinking back on what he had done to her, he wanted to slap himself a few times.

Every failure taught him a lesson. Now he didn't dare to offend his self-righteous wife easily. What if one day she left him like Lu Zhitao...

I dare not think about it, I cannot think about it!

Soon, Yan Tianyou came over with a scale and a large weight, and shouted excitedly, "Uncle Zuo, I brought the scale."

Two other teenagers followed him with empty baskets and shoulder poles, and one of them was holding the hand of an eight-year-old girl.

The Zuo clan elder stroked his beard and praised: "Well, Tianyou, you guys are moving really fast. Put the potatoes on the ground into the basket and weigh them."

"okay."

Three teenagers and an eight-year-old girl packed potatoes skillfully. Although they had never seen this thing before, they were really edible.

Just now they smelled a different fragrance than usual, and when they asked they found out that it was the potatoes that Miss Xiaoli had snatched away.

The aroma was that of wolf meat stewed with potatoes. You could tell it was delicious just by smelling it.

Song Zhuxin looked at the dark-skinned boy, who was pretending to be a potato and grinning foolishly. She asked tentatively, "Do you like potatoes very much?"

"Yes, potatoes stewed with wolf meat are delicious." A young man answered honestly.

"What? You actually stewed the seeds with wolf meat and ate it?" Song Zhuxin couldn't help but scream.

"..."

The young man looked at Song Zhuxin in confusion. This woman with a ferocious face was too scary. No wonder Miss Xiaoli didn't like them.

Song Zhuxin saw the boy glance at her and then lowered his head to pick up potatoes. She asked viciously, "That bitch Xiaoli stole our potatoes. Did you know?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Those potatoes were snatched away by Miss Xiaoli, not stolen." The boy who was briefly confused before said unhappily.

Xiaoli walked out of the pigpen carrying a basket of potatoes. Whenever she saw the villagers, she happily told them that those were the potatoes she had stolen from the Huo family.

And she told everyone that her daughter said that potatoes and radishes can be used to stew wolf meat, and everyone can try it today.

So in the teenagers' subconscious, Xiaoli's basket of potatoes was definitely not stolen.

Another boy who was picking potatoes also said angrily: "Miss Xiaoli got the potatoes by her own ability, not by stealing them."

Song Zhuxin was stunned by the anger of the young men. She finally experienced firsthand the feeling of a scholar encountering a soldier, unable to explain herself.

This kind of pain is unspeakable, like having a mountain pressing on your chest, heavy and difficult to describe.

She took several deep breaths and asked, "Do you know what stealing is? What is robbing?"

A young man said proudly: "Of course I know. Stealing is when people without skills secretly take other people's things. Robbery requires skills."

"Then let me ask you, is it considered stealing if you take something without asking?" Song Zhuxin asked with anger suppressed.

"Taking something without asking is naturally stealing, but Miss Pear must have told you when she snatched your potatoes."

"That's right, Miss Xiaoli took your potatoes by force, not by stealing them. Don't wrongly accuse Miss Xiaoli, or Brother Yuan will not let you go."

"You fools have been deceived by Xiaoli and her servant. They are shameless liars. Xiaoli took things without asking, which is stealing. Do you understand?"

Song Zhu was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She had a point but couldn't explain it to this group of illiterate people. She was so wronged that she had no place to appeal.

"Sister Xiaoli took your potatoes, she didn't steal them, wuwu...brother, she is a bad woman." The little girl who had been silent started crying.

"Bad woman, shut up." The honest young man yelled at Song Zhuxin fiercely with red eyes.

Girls are very precious in Mojia Village. His sister is the treasure of their family and no one can bully her.

Song Zhuxin was frightened by the boy's appearance. He looked honest and simple just now, but now he looked like he wanted to eat her.

"Ziyuan, look at them, they justify the robbery. Don't they have any humanitarian principles here?" Song Zhuxin looked at Huo Ziyuan aggrievedly.

"Xin'er, look at the scale carefully, don't make a mistake in the weight." Huo Ziyuan said tiredly.

He turned his eyes away and didn't want to look at this idiot. She made him speechless. She kept arguing with people in the bandit's den about stealing and robbing.

He really didn't know whether to say she was stupid or naive!

Seeing that her third daughter-in-law wanted to say something, Mrs. Huo stepped forward and said softly, "Xin'er, don't be obsessed with stealing and robbing.

Nanzhao had been suffering from famine for three years, which became more serious each year, and the imperial court had abandoned its efforts.

There are countless thieves and robbers. To be more precise, they steal other people's things in order to avoid starving to death.

There is no right or wrong in these people wanting to prolong their lives; it mainly depends on the strength of the other party.

Before you realized it, Taoer told me that one time, she couldn't buy food, and when she saw someone eating buns, she really wanted to snatch them and give them to Ziyuan.

She was eager to try and grab some several times, but finally didn't dare to. When she came back, she saw that Ziyuan's wound was inflamed due to hunger.

She cried and said she regretted it very much, blaming herself for being timid. She wished she could have snatched a little more!

As we walked along, you saw that famine refugees dying of starvation were common, so aren't you surprised that you didn't see any bodies?"

Song Zhuxin was still digesting her cheap mother-in-law's words when she heard Zuo Clan's sarcastic curse: "How could you, idiot, know that those starving corpses were cooked and eaten by the living!"

"Who are you calling a fool, old man?"

“Whoever answers will be scolded, you idiot, you just want to tell us that Miss Lu is immoral.

You have morals? Then why didn't you give us potatoes to plant when you came into the village?

Miss Lu said that people should not be too hypocritical. As long as they do not harm innocent people, they are moral people.

What right do you have to challenge our morality? When famine-stricken refugees trade their children for food, do you think they are moral?

Although no one in the provincial capitals and the capital city starved to death, many poor people suffered from malnutrition and edema.

So the people in the city closed the city gates to prevent the refugees from fleeing famine from entering the city to steal things. Do you think that the city people's behavior is moral?

If you are so capable, why don’t you go to the palace and ask the emperor to pardon the Huo family’s crimes?

The refugees fleeing famine are hungry all the time. When they see food, they will naturally grab it. Only by grabbing it can they have a chance to survive.

Everyone knows that stealing someone else's things is immoral, but who cares about moral bottom line when it comes to life?
