Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Although everyone knew that they should step forward to stop it, given the clearly unfavorable balance of power, they could only watch the situation unfold and stand by helplessly.

But who would dare to say such words?

The maid could only endure all this silently, and let Mrs. Wang continue to scold her with tears in her eyes.

After Mrs. Wang severely punished the unfortunate maid, she did not feel relieved at all. Instead, she became even more anxious.

Not to mention that this matter itself is unreasonable - our young lady has never been right; what's worse is that it seems to have fallen into the hands of the other party, and the other party may have information that is fatal to them!

If those carelessly discarded clothes were made public...

The consequences are unimaginable!

Today's incident also made her realize that this woman named Su Guiying is not only difficult to deal with on the surface, but also has more powerful supporters behind her - her father was once a famous general!

Furious, Mrs. Wang remarked bitterly, "It's true that 'a tiger father has a dog daughter.' Every one of them is so ungrateful."

Speaking of this, she almost burst into tears again.

It seems like they are doomed to suffer this loss without any chance of fighting back...

Not only did Mrs. Wang feel extremely helpless and aggrieved, but the other families also felt extremely depressed.

After hearing the news of what happened to their daughters, the mothers immediately rushed to the house to claim their children. They quickly learned the whole story and were instantly furious.

He even gave a severe scolding to the servants who followed him.

Looking at the daughters lying on the bed crying, the helplessness in my heart is simply indescribable. What is particularly infuriating is the behavior of General Bai.

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth trying to find a solution to the problem, and finally couldn't help but explode.

He rushed to his daughter Bai Jinyu and slapped her hard in the face. "It's all your fault!"

Then he asked loudly: "Su Xu is a big celebrity in front of the Yellow Emperor. Even I have to show him some respect. Why are you so ignorant?"

He roared in exasperation, "You're just a little kid, and you don't even know what propriety is. How dare you bring up their family affairs in front of others?"

"Bai Jinyu, do you even know how to write the word shame?"

"Did I send you to school for so many years just to learn how to talk about others behind their backs?"

Hearing her father blaming her like this, Bai Jinyu cried even harder, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Mrs. Bai felt extremely distressed upon seeing this. She immediately hugged her daughter tightly in her arms and glared at her husband fiercely, "You can't take your anger out on your daughter!"

"You're afraid of Su Xu, and you know you're afraid. Why are you taking your anger out on our daughter?"

she asked rhetorically.

"Besides, she didn't say anything wrong! Wasn't that family forced to leave their hometown and move around because they followed the man?"

"Everyone knows this kind of thing, but only this silly girl in our family is so foolish as to say it out loud."

Hearing his wife's words defending their daughter, General Bai was so excited that he practically jumped up and down. "Even if what she said was right, she shouldn't have said it so carelessly regardless of the occasion!"

He was a little mad: "Why did our daughter have to be the first to start this?"

Mrs. Bai was clearly not a weak woman. Tears welled up in her eyes as she held her daughter, but she remained resolute and strong. "Look at you now, how can you be a father at all? You can't even protect your own child properly, and yet you're throwing a tantrum here? You're totally shameless!"

"Yes, our daughter is a bit sharp-tongued, but is Miss Shu's behavior any better?"

"What kind of girl would be so cruel and ruthless as to take off someone's clothes? I think she is savage, cunning and sarcastic!"

Faced with this situation, General Bai could only sigh deeply helplessly.

Although his heart was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment towards the Shu family, what could he do?

He knew that Su Xu was not only a martial arts expert with outstanding achievements, but also had the support of local officials. In this situation, trying to confront him head-on would simply be asking for trouble.

Mrs. Bai saw through his thoughts at a glance and said coldly, "I know what you are most worried about right now. It is true that we do not have the ability to confront the Shu family head-on at the moment."

"But this isn't a long-term solution, is it? Even if you don't take the initiative, they'll still cause trouble for you."

She said worriedly, uneasiness evident in her voice.

"If you keep giving in, you will suffer losses sooner or later."

Her tone was firm, and she obviously didn't want to see General Bai continue to suffer injustice.

Her tone softened as she continued, "You must have some backbone to live. We are all military commanders, and the brothers under you are all brave and skilled warriors. If you choose to retreat and give in this time, how will they view you in their hearts?"

"From now on, when our Bai family's army sees the Shu family's army, they won't even have the courage to raise their heads and behave like human beings!"

These words touched the sore spot in General Bai's heart.

He fell silent for a moment, then stood up and left the room quickly and decisively, his figure disappearing behind the door.

Looking at her father's back as he walked away, Bai Jinyu burst into tears. She cried and asked her mother beside her: "Mom, Dad..." Her voice was obviously trembling and helpless.

Mrs. Bai simply glanced towards the door, smiled coldly, and comforted her daughter, saying, "Don't worry, no matter what, your father is always a man who stands tall and brave enough to face difficulties."

Mrs. Bai gently stroked her daughter's hair and said, "My dear child, it's really hard to face such an unfair thing."

"Mom will seek justice for you and have that Miss Shu come and apologize to you in person."

This is a mother's commitment to her wounded child.

Hearing these words, a ray of hope suddenly ignited in Bai Jinyu's heart. She nodded, nodded vigorously, although there were still tears in her eyes.

……

Even though this matter did not cause a sensation in the city, everyone knew what had happened as clearly as a mirror.

Therefore, in their respective families, the elders began to convey a common message to their respective small circles: keep your mouths shut, talk less and do more.

At first, Su Guiying felt a little nervous and worried about the changes in the outside world; however, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had a clear conscience and had done nothing wrong, so she soon calmed down.

The next morning, she went to school as usual, but strangely, the female classmates who usually surrounded her were nowhere to be seen.
