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

Upon closer inspection, there were indeed two bags, which could only save three people at most.

"This incompetent thing can't even get any benefits from his own mother!"

Lu Zhenxin spat, and Zhang quickly pushed him and signaled him to speak more quietly.

"So what should we do now? After all, the three of us can't move, and we have to rely on him to chop wood and make a fire!"

"But what if he drinks the medicine first after he finishes boiling it? What should we do then?"

"He already has a child, so saving him is natural, but our old bones are hanging by a thread!"

Lu Zhengxin's face looked heavy.

"Then why are you still standing there? Just don't let him drink the medicine!"

A fierce look flashed in Lu Zhengxin's eyes: "We'll keep an eye on him later. Once the fire is lit and the medicine is boiled, we'll have him go to see the King of Hell early!"

"Let's save the remaining medicine and drink it sparingly. We can get through this difficult time!"

"But if he really dies, I'm afraid our future will be filled with thorns."

"What are you worried about? With Wan Niang around, why would a man be worried about lacking anything? I'm just worried about Wan Niang's pregnancy. I can't hide it anymore."

As soon as Lu Zhengxin finished speaking, Liu immediately followed up: "Then you don't have to worry anymore."

"These days, life is as fragile as paper. Who cares if a woman is virgin and a widow with a child?"

"Just like Su Chongsong, didn't he foolishly think that stepmother was pregnant with his child?"

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Su Chongsong ran back with a heavy load of firewood on his back, sweating profusely.

The scholar has spent half his life unable to carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands, and now his palms are covered with tiny scars and thin calluses.

Before he even entered the room, he hurriedly comforted the people in the room, "Dad, Mom, please take good care of Wan Niang. The medicine will be ready soon!"

As he said this, he hurriedly prepared to make a fire.

Inside the room, Lu Zhengxin and Liu stared at his back with gloomy eyes.

Just as the flames were burning brightly and the medicine pot was bubbling, Liu suddenly groaned, "Ouch..."

"Son, come and help me, why are my hands so weak?"

Su Chongsong rushed in nervously upon hearing the sound, knelt on the ground and held up Liu's hand: "Let me see?"

Liu lowered her eyes and stared at him, exchanged glances with Lu Zhengxin, and suddenly grabbed Su Chongsong's throat.

"mother--!"

Su Chongsong's face turned red and he struggled desperately, his eyes full of fear and disbelief.

Liu was careless for a moment and almost let him break free!

"Old man, give me a hand!"

Without waiting for orders, Lu Zhengxin pounced on him, pulled off his clothes and covered Su Chongsong's mouth and nose tightly, making it impossible for him to breathe.

Slowly, Su Chongsong's struggle became weaker and weaker.

Just as everything went dark and his consciousness was about to fade away, the hands that were strangling his mouth, nose and neck suddenly loosened!

Su Chongsong pushed the man away with force!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He fell to the ground and began to cough violently, as if he wanted to cough out all his internal organs. His neck was bruised and swollen, and his facial features were distorted with pain.

Yan Senyue watched coldly and dragged the two unconscious people into the yard.

Sun Wan looked at the two people in front of her with a complicated expression.

She thanked Yan Senyue: "Thanks to you, Miss Senyue."

Yan Senyue smiled slightly.

Sun Wan walked into the house and met Su Chongsong's eyes with tears in his eyes.

"mother……"

As soon as Su Chongsong opened his mouth, his throat felt like it was burning with pain.

Sun Wan looked at him calmly, "Did you ever expect this day to come?"

"I also thought you had a deep affection for this family, willing to depend on them through thick and thin, and that they had done you some great favor, or treated you better than your own mother."

"Now it seems that I was just too naive."

Su Chongsong's face turned even redder. He lowered his head and his body collapsed weakly on the ground, like a body without a soul.

Seeing this, Sun Wan felt an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart.

It seems that you are determined and would rather follow the Lu family than acknowledge me as your biological mother."

Sun Wan stared at him with cold eyes: "Well, since that's the case, let's break up today and talk it out."

"Chongsong, let me ask you, are we going to end our relationship?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Chongsong's body shook violently.

He didn't argue, but just lowered his head even lower, his face hidden in the shadows, blurry.

Sun Wan looked at him like this. No matter how hard her heart was, it felt like it was pierced by ice, and she felt desolate.

She smiled bitterly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Okay, okay, okay."

"If you don't care about family affection, I won't continue to be sentimental."

"I gave birth to you, raised you, and supported you for half my life. Today, I gave you the medicine to save your life. I have no regrets about the bond between us as mother and son."

"From now on, you are no longer my son, and I am no longer your mother."

"When we meet again in the future, just treat us as strangers!"

After saying this, Sun Wan's heart was completely chilled. She didn't even want to look at Su Chongsong again. She turned around and strode away.

"It sounds nice, and I have a clear conscience."

Su Chongsong's voice suddenly came from behind.

Sun Wan paused and turned to face Su Chongsong, who was full of sarcasm.

"You sound so noble, but you gave birth to me and raised me with the money my father left behind!"

"Do you think I was just as blinded by you as those idiots?"

"Before my father joined the army, he left you a hundred taels of silver, and you squandered it all!"

"All the suffering and pain you've endured over the years is your own fault!"

Su Chongsong seemed to be angered by today's events. He covered his aching throat and questioned his biological mother at the top of his voice.

"You are unworthy of being a mother. You committed adultery with someone else and were fooled by that liar. As a result, all the money left by father was gone!"

"If we had that one hundred taels of silver back then, we brothers and sisters wouldn't have to suffer so much!"

Sun Wan's whole body was trembling, and she could hardly stand. She looked at her son who had lost control, her eyes full of disbelief.

"You are too presumptuous!"

Sun Wan was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She rushed to Su Chongsong and raised her hands high.

"Hit me if you can!"

"Anyway, I've contracted the plague and I've long since given up on living! You cruel woman, you're so angry now because I must have hit the nail on the head!"

Su Chongsong screamed like a madman, and even stretched his neck to let Sun Wan hit him.

Sun Wan's heart was broken. She closed her eyes and slapped Su Chongsong hard in the face: "Rebellious son!"

"Rebel!"

"Where did you hear these filthy words to slander your mother like this? Su Chongsong, I poured my heart and soul into supporting your studies, is this how you slander your own parents?"

Sun Wan's voice broke. She never thought that one day she would be accused like this by her own son!

The absurdity and ridiculousness of this even exceeds anger.

"I raised you four siblings, and everything I said and did is without regret! The whole village saw it all, and even the most gossipy old woman wouldn't dare say that to me!"

"Su Chongsong, tell me clearly, when did I have an affair with someone?"

"And when did you take the money your father left behind and give it to that so-called adulterer?"
