Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Summer Afternoon

Perhaps seeing that Liu Sisi didn’t speak, Ms. Wang became anxious!

She turned her eyes and saw YingEr who had just poked her head out of the carriage, so she hastily dragged YingEr into the conversation too.

“YingEr, please talk some sense into your mother! Just look at Second Aunt… like this… It’s been days since Second Aunt ate anything! YingEr, do you really want to watch Second Aunt starve to death? Oh… ”

Ms. Wang’s voice trembled more and more pitifully, and she couldn’t help but cry, with tears streaming down her face.

Although YingEr was young, it didn’t mean she was easy to deceive, especially when it came to her Second Aunt who had been a source of pain for her since she was small.

“Second Aunt, did you not eat anything today?”

YingEr was filled with curiosity, batting her big, flickering eyes: “But Second Aunt, Dad and Mom always say if you want to have food, you need to work and plant crops uphill. If the land yields a harvest, then there’ll be food. You can’t get something for nothing, and you definitely shouldn’t beg others! That’s what people without backbone do!”

” … ”

Ms. Wang was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

“Ms. Wang! YingEr is only six years old, and she understands these principles, can’t you understand them too?”

Liu Sisi also let out a deep sigh!

Reaching out her hand, she helped Ms. Wang up: “Ah! We were once sisters-in-law, but you and your family have truly hurt the hearts of our elders. Even if I wanted to help, I can’t! You… just take care of yourself!”

She forcefully pulled off the clothes that Ms. Wang was tightly holding onto and pushed her away, then gave Old Cheng a look before stepping up and into the carriage.

YingEr also conveniently sat inside, and before she left, she waved at Ms. Wang: “By the way, my family has set up a porridge shed outside the city gate that specifically provides porridge for the poor. Second Aunt, you can go check it out. There should still be porridge now.”

Ms. Wang’s face turned blue and white in an instant, looking extremely terrible!

Seeing the carriage leaving, she tried to catch up, only to be stopped by Ms. Gao beside her.

Ms. Gao immediately spoke with a smile: “Madam, my lady has made her point very clear. Please, take care of yourself!”

“But…” Ms. Wang still wanted to say something.

The coachman by the side couldn’t bear it any longer! He immediately scolded in annoyance: “Hey! Do you have no shame? Persistently harassing and pestering, you’ll get what’s coming to you!”

Frightened by the coachman’s harsh words, Ms. Wang’s whole body trembled, and she finally dared not approach any further.

The carriage slowly moved forward, leaving the crowd behind.

“So, does everyone know who she is? I can recognize her. She used to be Lord Di’s Second Sister-in-law!”

Once Liu Sisi’s carriage left, someone nearby recognized Ms. Wang and laughed aloud.

“Oh? Tell us more. What’s the story?” An eager person next to them quickly moved closer.

That person didn’t bother keeping anything secret and immediately began telling the tale loudly.

“Her! As soon as she heard that her little brother entered the big prison, she immediately distanced herself from the Di Family, not just seeking public acknowledgement from the Land Officer, but also taking legal documents to the government office for notarization. Who would have thought that fortunes change so quickly! Little did she expect that her brother not only was released without charge, but also promoted with honors!”

“Oh— so that’s how it is!”

The people beside understood what had happened: so, that’s the story!

“That’s not all! When she saw her brother rise to high ranks, she went everywhere slandering him and even chased him to the Ancestral Hall to offer incense to their ancestors. But she had abandoned the family name and left the family, so what business did she have there? In the end, she was driven out by the elders of the family, totally disgraced!”

“Indeed it’s shameful, and to think she still dared to come back, she must really be shameless! Haha…”
