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

But when he thought of Sun Zhuo's snot, he felt uneasy again.

Just hide inside the house, out of sight and out of mind.

The villagers of Darong Village had no idea that they had been implicated. They worked for the entire afternoon, and by the time everything in the backyard was cleaned up, it was already completely dark.

Until the shop closed, the waiter asked everyone to rest, and then everyone returned to the woodshed to settle down.

We simply cooked a pot of porridge, mixed it with a few slices of dried meat, and everyone enjoyed it with satisfaction.

Only Wang Cuihua seemed uneasy.

Sun Wan glanced at her in confusion. "What's wrong? You've been distracted all afternoon."

Wang Cuihua lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "I guess your mother stole the silver!"

Hey!

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone realized that Old Lady Sun and her gang were really missing!

Wang Cuihua vividly described what happened in the afternoon, and naturally, she couldn't help but add some of her own imagination.

"Those guys are as clean as if they were fished out of the water. Where did they get the money to eat and stay in the hotel? They must have stolen it!"

Sun Wan was also quite surprised, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "It's unlikely."

"My mother is very careful. If she really stole the money, she would never do it so ostentatiously."

"But the origin of this money is indeed suspicious."

Wang Cuihua curled her lips: "Of course, but if she didn't steal it, could it have fallen from the sky?"

Everyone looked at each other, and thought of the same person in their hearts.

Wang Cuihua immediately turned around and went to Kou Zhong: "Kou Zhong, that girl Ma is deeply in love with you, please don't let her get hurt or deceived!"

The most important thing is not to let villains like Old Lady Sun succeed!

Wang Cuihua felt upset when she thought of how Song Ping showed off in front of her this afternoon.

Kou Zhong frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'll go and find out tomorrow."

"It's not necessarily that she was cheated out of money... maybe it was someone else?"

Having said that, Kou Zhong was actually almost certain in his heart that it was Xu Xiangxiang.

The next morning, Kou Zhongzheng was planning to find Xu Xiangxiang to inquire about the news.

Coincidentally, a guest upstairs suddenly asked for a hot water bath. The waiter saw Kou Zhong loitering and pushed the task to him.

Kou Zhongzheng was just waiting for this opportunity. He immediately picked up a full bucket of water and climbed upstairs to help the guest fill the bathtub.

After fetching water, Kou Zhong searched up and down the stairs for Xu Xiangxiang's house.

Not long after he turned around, a scream suddenly erupted from the house in front: "Ouch!"

As soon as Kou Zhong heard the voice, he knew it was Xu Xiangxiang's. His face changed immediately. He rushed to the door in two steps and kicked it open.

"Miss Ma!"

When the door opened, the room was quiet. Kou Zhong's heart tightened and he quickened his pace to go inside: "Miss Ma? What happened?"

There was silence.

The worry in Kou Zhong's heart grew like weeds, fearing that something might happen to Xu Xiangxiang.

He took a few steps forward and walked around the screen, and the scene before him made his heart tremble.

Xu Xiangxiang was lying on the bed, her shoulders slightly exposed, and one of her jade-white feet was hanging over the edge of the bed. She stroked her ankle with her hand and sobbed softly.

That snow-white skin made Kou Zhong's heart feel like it was being grabbed by something, making it a mess.

He stepped back suddenly and accidentally bumped into the screen behind him. With a "clang", the screen fell down.

This noise finally made Xu Xiangxiang turn around. She looked at Kou Zhong with tears in her eyes. Her face was red and her voice was as soft as cotton: "Brother Kou Zhong..."

"I sprained my ankle and it hurts..."

Kou Zhong's breathing seemed to freeze, and he stared blankly at Xu Xiangxiang.

Seeing him so dazed, Xu Xiangxiang's face flushed, and her shyness hid a myriad of emotions - this was the man she loved!

The old woman was right, men really fall for this!

Xu Xiangxiang was secretly delighted and was about to take another step forward, but she saw Kou Zhong slowly clenching his fists.

His breathing became heavier and his eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze.

"Xu Xiangxiang, do you know what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Xu Xiangxiang stunned.

She looked up blankly, her usual cunningness completely gone: "I..."

Xu Xiangxiang was at a loss, the smile on her face froze, and her enthusiasm was dashed like a bucket of cold water.

She met Kou Zhong's stern gaze.

"I thought you were just a little spoiled, but I didn't expect you to be so disregarding of your self-respect!"

"Xu Xiangxiang, do you think I'm the kind of despicable person who abandons morality when seeing beauty?!"

Anger boiled in Kou Zhong's chest. He had never treated a woman like this, especially someone like Xu Xiangxiang.

Suddenly, Kou Zhong felt that he was completely misunderstood.

He glared at Xu Xiangxiang fiercely, clenching his fists until it was painful: "Xu Xiangxiang, you make me feel sick!"

After saying that, Kou Zhong turned around and strode away, leaving Xu Xiangxiang sitting on the ground alone.

Soon, Xu Xiangxiang hurriedly tidied her clothes and ran out in panic, but she could not find Kou Zhong anywhere. The stairs were empty and the lobby was silent.

"No, I'm not disrespectful. I, I just..."

Xu Xiangxiang murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.

Xu Xiangxiang felt very aggrieved. She just wanted to be closer to Kou Zhong, but she never thought that her excessive actions would backfire.

Her heart was broken. Her momentary recklessness had completely wiped out the little bit of good impression Kou Zhong had for her.

"I'm not that kind of girl, and I've never looked down on you. I just, I just want to be close to you..."

Xu Xiangxiang's eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, but her legs seemed to be filled with thousands of pounds of lead and she couldn't move even a step.

She didn't even have the courage to look for Kou Zhong, for fear of meeting his eyes filled with disgust and contempt.

At this moment, Xu Xiang was regretting it so much. He had never hated his own stupidity so much.

"It's all that old bastard's fault!"

Xu Xiangxiang broke down emotionally and rushed to the door of Old Lady Sun and her group, roaring and pounding on it.

"You old bastard, get out here!"

Inside the room, Old Lady Sun was napping with her little grandson in her arms, while Song Ping and Sun Sheng were also enjoying a rare moment of leisure on the soft couch. Suddenly, a loud noise and shouting startled everyone into jumping up.

Old Mrs. Sun opened the door in a panic. Seeing Xu Xiangxiang in tears, she felt a little uneasy and managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Isn't this Miss Ma? What happened? Did someone bully you?"

"Stop pretending here!"

Xu Xiangxiang violently shook off Old Lady Sun's hand and angrily shouted, "This is all your bad advice. Look at what's happening now. Kou Zhong has completely ignored me!"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Old Lady Sun's face.

Xu Xiangxiang couldn't swallow this insult. That was the person she had gone through so much trouble to get close to. If he disliked her like this, wouldn't all her previous efforts become a joke?

"It's all your fault! Kou Zhong is not an ordinary person at all. You, old fool, ruined everything!"

"Give me back my money!"

Xu Xiangxiang shouted almost crazily, and when Old Lady Sun heard "return the money", her face immediately turned from bright to gloomy.
