Besides Second Uncle's family, more people were starting to say these things. Some of them weren't being unreasonable, but rather trying to sway the current situation. Members of another clan, Jing Yongqiang's, who had been sitting next to the old clan leader, were brothers of clan leader Jing Yongsheng. They hadn't made much of a move and had said very little, clearly not getting along with the clan leader's group. They were just following the flow. Clearly, they now realized their mistake, and some even began to dissuade others.

Second Uncle Sun had been the head of the family for decades, so she could see through Old Lady Wang's tricks. She turned to her two daughters-in-law and said, "Don't worry about them. Let them do whatever they want. Even those two shouldn't get too close. They come to us when there's profit, but when trouble comes, they try to walk away. How can it be that easy?"

The second uncle nodded in agreement to his old lady. His wife thought the same thing and told her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters: "Listen to your mother. Look at the people in your uncle's family and the scattered people over there, and you'll know who you should follow to survive."

Wang Po and her daughter-in-law retreated, and the relatives who had been sitting with her just now all distanced themselves from them. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became even more angry and cursed at everyone they caught.

The granddaughter-in-law Lin sat timidly, not daring to look at anyone. She was not very old, but tall and thin with deep eye sockets. She looked not in good health. Qiaoqiao, who was being hugged, was not only thin but also had dry hair. She was about the same height as Jing Mingzhu, but her complexion was much worse. She was as timid and dull-eyed as her mother.

I imagine that the mother and daughter, having lost their husband's support, have suffered a lot from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's quarrels. Qiaoqiao is so young, and she must have had no one to trust, so they were taken away together and exiled.

Old Lady Wang felt embarrassed in front of everyone and angrily declared, "You'll find out whether you have descendants or not when you're exiled. Don't think you can survive just by being fed. You'll be tortured and die without even knowing how. You think someone just draws a circle and thinks it's a cake. At least my family of four can stay together, and we'll die together. You don't even know if you'll ever see your children and grandchildren in the capital again in this lifetime."

The old woman had a vicious mouth. She didn't repent even though everyone was staring at her. She kept muttering and even cursing the descendants of her clansmen. Some women in their tribe couldn't stand it and stood up to fight with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Many people joined in the fight, punching and kicking each other. Some women were ostensibly trying to stop the fight, but were actually taking sides and beat the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law up.

The men did not stop the fight, and some even blew up their masks and clapped. Seeing that no one stopped them, the teenage boys even started shouting.

"Hit, hit hard!

"Pulling hair! How stupid!"

……

There was a sudden noise, with sounds of cursing and fighting. This time it was the turn of the people from the General's Mansion to eat black flour buns and watch the show. Jing Chunxi was so happy that he gave a piece of candy to the glutinous rice balls and icing sugar. In the end, even Jing Mingyue and Silang got one.

"What are you doing? Aren't you tired of walking? Get up and get going if you don't want to rest." At first, the officers were far away and ignored them, happily eating sunflower seeds. Then, seeing that a fight had broken out, they thought that the branch of the General's Mansion was being bullied. After all, they were soft-hearted. Scarface came over to take a look, but seeing that they were not the ones involved, he simply ignored them. He had long disliked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and wanted to punish them, and now he was eager to fight harder without them having to do anything.

In the end, Old Lady Wang was beaten so badly that her face was swollen and black and blue, looking even uglier than a scoundrel. Mrs. Su limped, her hair dripping with blood. If the official hadn't come over, shouting and lashing her with a few empty whips, worried she might have been injured and unable to walk, who knows how much worse the beating would have been, but she would have finally calmed down.

Old Lady Wang even leaned over to sit next to the old patriarch and complained to him. She was as ugly as a fly and buzzed around. The patriarch was also annoyed and said, "If you are not afraid of death, then continue to act like this. Otherwise, get out of here and stop relying on us."

These words finally had some deterrent effect. Old Lady Wang didn't belong to their clan to begin with; she had just come over by force. Old Lady Wang was truly afraid of being driven out, so she finally stopped talking and moved back to her own territory. Where else could she go if not to follow them? All the men in her clan had died, so they couldn't make ends meet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of extorting money every day.

Jing Chunxi had watched a good show, but after all the chatting and laughing, she still felt angry. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. Anyway, the feud was formed, and she had no intention of letting it go. She also felt that the old clan leader, who kept silent and didn't say a word of justice, didn't even care about or protect his own branch, was really a piece of shit. Don't expect him to unite the hearts of the entire clan.

Perhaps they noticed Jing Chunxi's expression and were worried that she was upset. Her second and third aunts pulled her aside and urged her to sit down. "Xijie is still young, so you don't have to take the lead in everything. You still have Grandma and your uncles and aunts to take care of! Take a good rest and save some energy for the journey."

Jing Changning also came over and patted her head, saying comfortingly, "Uncle is useless, but as a man, it's not easy for him to argue with these shrews. From now on, I will have Third Uncle and a few cousins ​​to take care of everything. Sister Xi is still young, so let Uncle take on the front lines."

"It's going to take four of us to lead the charge."

Silang was the talkative one. He'd always teased Pu'er and irritated Xi'er, always siding with Mingyue. But now, he'd suddenly taken a liking to Cousin Xi, practically moving a stool over to sit next to her and become her fanboy. Jing Chunxi didn't care for him. Of the four cousins, he was the most impulsive and thoughtless, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many disputes when he returned to her family's home. He wasn't likable at all: taller than her, but childish in his actions.

After listening to Uncle San’s summary, the other three men also felt that they were useless. They were obviously bigger and their fists were bigger than Cousin Xi’s, but what were they doing just now?

The officer just said that he would leave immediately, which actually meant that he wanted them to stay quiet, but now he is not urging them anymore.

The officer who had been watching the situation from the other side of the river, seeing that things were not developing in the direction of eating melon seeds, began to doze off and said he would stay for another quarter of an hour before leaving.

Everyone returned to their own camps, too embarrassed to stare at them anymore. Some people simply lay on the floor like dead pigs, while others dozed off back to back.

The people from the other groups were all starving. Since they were imprisoned yesterday, they had only eaten one black-flour steamed bun this morning, and their stomachs were already empty. However, after finishing the black-flour steamed bun, they didn't dare to drink too much water because they had a limited amount of water. They relied on each other to take a nap, hoping that they would not be hungry after falling asleep.
