Chapter 2470: Chapter 2470: Here to Scrounge a Free Meal
...
An Jiuyue wasn’t wrong in her guess, since it was a girl, the little girl’s mother despised her quite a bit. From birth, she was left with the family’s elders to be taken care of.
As for herself, she was solely focused on nursing her body back to health, swearing she would give birth to a son who could take care of her in her old age.
It’s just unfortunate that on her second pregnancy, the little girl’s mother was carrying twins and had a difficult labor, almost losing her life.
That’s why she had no feelings for An Yixing’s two children at all.
They almost caused her death. According to her, these two children were born to collect debts from her. The fact that she didn’t strangle them at birth was already merciful.
Frightened by An Jiuyue’s gaze, the woman muttered curses all the way down the mountain.
"I, your mother, almost died giving birth to you, and you ended up being completely useless. I won’t believe it until I can sell you for a good price!"
After all, they were her offspring. Even if she didn’t like them, they were still flesh that fell from her body.
If An Jiuyue wouldn’t give her money, then she would sell the two little brats. Selling them to someone else was just as good. Saying it out loud, she didn’t feel guilty at all.
"No way, I have to hurry back and find the Clan Leader. I must get those two little brats back."
With this in mind, she quickened her pace down the mountain, hoping to resolve the matter with the Clan Leader before her husband returned from the town.
...
At that moment, the Old Patriarch, enjoying the fine weather, had brought out a lounge chair and was basking in the sunshine.
With his old age, the matters of the fields were now entrusted to his sons. Although he still did some work, they weren’t heavy tasks. Moreover, his sons had insisted he bask in the sun to warm his body today.
"Nowadays, life is really..."
"Clan Leader, Clan Leader, are you home?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the almost ear-splitting voice from outside interrupted him.
He frowned, looking displeasedly at the tightly closed courtyard door, while his old wife came out of the kitchen, looking at him anxiously.
"Who is it now? Is it another one coming to freeload?" she asked.
Since her husband was the Clan Leader, over the years, there were plenty of blind villagers who would come to freeload, especially when they heard that the house had bought meat or had some meat dishes.
She had complained about this plenty of times, but it was to no avail.
When it was time for those thick-skinned folks to show up, no one could stop them. They would righteously claim they hadn’t eaten for several days and couldn’t survive.
As the Clan Leader, could he just watch them starve to death?
"This time, don’t be kind-hearted. We finally managed to get some meat!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? Get back to your cooking!" The Clan Leader glared at his old wife.
Ever since his old wife made things difficult for An Jiuyue years ago, he hadn’t shown her any kindness. He could see that if he gave her an inch, she’d take a mile!
So all these years, he had used his authority to suppress his old wife, preventing her from acting erratically at home from time to time.
