Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.
Chapter 24: Finding the Village Chief
She wanted to step forward and demand justice for the two children, but just as she was about to say something, she noticed them first and called them to stop.
"Shang Qing, what are you doing over there? Hurry up and go down and help. How can you bear to let your two children go down and do your work?"
"mine?"
Shang Qing frowned, wanting to step forward and question whose job it was, but then noticed the gazes coming from all around.
Looking in confusion at the direction from which the gaze had been directed, I realized that many neighbors were sitting under the shade of other trees.
"Why are you still watching? You're such a heartless woman. You know my son died on the battlefield, and now you're not even going to take responsibility for the child?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Qing's expression turned even more unpleasant, but he still made no move.
Because of this action, the people around him became even more piercing in their eyes, and even lowered their voices to talk about Shang Qing.
"Do you think she and Scarface Liu might actually be together? Otherwise, why doesn't she care about her two daughters?"
"That's not right either. Why do we still need to bring that girl along? We could probably get some money by selling her now."
Upon hearing this, the person next to him let out a cold laugh, but remained silent, even withdrawing his gaze from Shang Qing.
She sensed what the group was thinking, and her face darkened. She walked straight up and pulled the two children onto the field.
“Since your mother has been driven away, you are no longer considered other people’s children. Why should you have to till the land for them?”
"But that's Grandma...Mom, are you sure you don't need to?"
The two children were terrified, clearly because they had been bullied badly by Jiang Yingyue and Gu Wangshi in the past. Shang Qing frowned deeply.
She was about to get angry when her two daughters, who were even more worried about her, pulled her back.
"Mother, my sister is hungry. Should we go back? My sister is more important."
“You’re right, but there are some things we need to resolve first, otherwise you’ll be arrested again tomorrow.”
The sound wasn't quiet. Shang Qing looked up and saw the two people's unpleasant expressions, and a smile curled at the corner of her lips.
But that expression quickly disappeared. Instead, he hid the two children behind his back and was about to trick them back into the field when he noticed another familiar face in the distance, wrestling with other children.
"Since you say there's no one to do the housework, then what is he? Isn't he a human being?"
"He's still a child, how could he do such heavy work?"
Following Shang Qing's gaze, the two saw the child, whose figure was much rounder than that of other families, immediately retort.
Upon hearing this, Shang Qing didn't get angry but laughed instead, staring straight at everyone around her, and then let out two soft chuckles.
"He's a child, but our daughter isn't? Or is he disabled, even less than a girl?"
"I'm better than those two girls! Who gave you permission to talk nonsense!"
Originally, he wanted to provoke the other party a little more before he could succeed, but the other party was provoked by just one sentence, and Shang Qing's smile became more and more obvious.
"In that case, go down and prove yourself."
"How much did Pan'er just do?" Shang Qing turned to look at her daughter, who was gesturing on the ground. She then looked up at the boy who was rolling up his sleeves to get down on the ground. "How is it? Can you finish?"
The boy, who could never admit that he was inferior to Gu Pan'er, nodded and jumped down.
But he was spoiled since childhood and had little strength at all. He didn't even know how to do any work. Not only did he fail to tidy up the floor, he even destroyed the part that had just been tidied up.
"Mom! I can't do it anymore, come and help me."
"This isn't enough? I'm starting to seriously doubt if you're even a boy."
He, who was already sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up and slammed the hoe he had thrown aside onto the ground with all his might.
But clearly they didn't see it clearly; the moment the hoe fell, it made a metallic clanging sound.
The next instant, the boy's piercing cries came from the field.
Shang Qing guessed what was going on, and a smile appeared on his lips. He wanted to take his daughter away from this place of trouble, but they wouldn't allow it.
"Stop right there! What have you done to my precious grandson?!"
"You're really funny. I've been standing right here the whole time. How could I possibly hurt him from a distance? It's obvious that he did it himself."
Instead of wasting time, why not go and see what's really going on with that spoiled child?
Shang Qing was unfamiliar with working in the fields, but the children next to him, who had been doing farm work for several years, knew exactly what it was all about.
Gently pull up your mother's sleeve, making her bend down to look at you.
"what happened?"
"His hand just went numb from hitting a stone with a hoe; it'll be fine in a bit."
It turned out to be the case.
Shang Qing nodded, then reached out and gently tidied Gu Pan'er's sweaty hair before turning to leave.
"stop!"
"What else is there? Is it still because of this kid?"
Seeing the anger in their eyes, Shang Qing snorted inwardly, wanting to continue mocking them, but then realized that they were being laughed at, and her brows furrowed again.
But the other party wasn't going to give her a chance to pause. They rushed over and reached out to grab the two children next to them.
Naturally, she wouldn't let the other party succeed, so she could only use her hands to pry open that calloused hand.
The sound of the slap was extremely crisp, causing the two people to show surprised expressions, but without pausing for a moment, they were about to slap Shang Qing back.
Gu Pan'er, of course, couldn't bear to see her mother suffer, so she immediately grabbed the other person's arm.
"what!"
Unexpectedly, her daughter reacted so quickly. Shang Qing immediately hid her hands behind her back, pinched herself, and let out an even more piercing cry.
"You say I won't support my daughter? You're the one who kicked us out of the house when we were penniless, and now you still have the nerve to make your child do things for you!"
"Being kicked out of the house? I didn't just hear about it..."
Before the man could finish speaking, he was glared at fiercely by Madam Gu, and could only shut his mouth and quietly look at Shang Qing, who was crying miserably.
Although she noticed their gazes, she knew they couldn't help her. She raised her sleeve and wiped away her tears, staring intently at Madam Gu.
"Since you've done this, there's no need for me to continue being filial to my husband. From now on, our two families will sever all ties and never see each other again!"
"That's not your opinion."
Of course, Madam Gu would not let the person go. She widened her eyes and steered the conversation back to her son who had died on the battlefield.
"You clearly want to take these two girls away, planning to leave their hometown, find a place to sell them for money, and then use that money to find another husband."
"Mother is talking about herself; anyone with eyes can see that..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Gu rushed forward again, ready to tear apart this mouth that had no way of speaking.
Just as those mud-covered fingers were about to touch Shang Qing's face, Gu Pan'er rushed forward again.
