When Chang Shichu went out the next day, Li Dashou and Li Dajiao were no longer on the street. She thought they would not give up and beg her to give them the antidote.
Forget it if they don't see each other. If they want to take revenge on her in the future, then she will be waiting for them.
Qing'an City is in ruins and waiting to be renovated. The once devastated city is slowly being repaired. Even if the speed is very slow, it is still in progress. Now she is alone here. She doesn't know what to do for the time being, so she is thinking about the fields in the suburbs. Many of them were left uncultivated. The owners of the fields had either fled or died. It was a waste to leave them uncultivated, so she planned to ask people to plant them. If the original inhabitants came back in the future, she would return them. If they did not come back, she would Just keep planting.
In this era, nothing is as precious as food. Although Chang Shichu has no great ideals to save the world, when he sees the ragged and skinny people on the street, he will feel compassion and want to do something within his power.
Pu Qirui gave her a lot of silver dollars, and she was not short of money. She invited some people to farm the land, which could also help the needy people.
She has always been very active and soon went to look at the fields outside the city and asked people to plant them.
Just when Chang Shichu was busy farming, the Chang family members who were far away in Shanghai finally remembered that there was a transparent third lady in the family.
The eldest lady said to Chang Gui with a cold face: "As a father, you don't care about your daughter. I am just her aunt. Isn't it natural to neglect her? Who made her silent all day long and cut her mouth? Like a gourd, everyone was in a hurry when she fled Qing'an City. She was too stupid to follow everyone closely. Isn't she asking for it now that there is no news? "
Chang Gui's face was livid with anger. He didn't care about Chang Shichu. In fact, he had almost forgotten what his daughter looked like. How could he care if she fled here with her? He just cared that the eldest wife had ruined his face, and what she said was a blatant mockery of him as not worthy of being a father.
"Li Fulipei! You are so cruel and vicious! The third girl has called you mother for more than ten years, and you are not worried about her at all? Now that she is gone, you still criticize her so harshly that she is worthless. You are really unworthy. Mother!" Chang Gui scolded his wife with a stern expression.
"Whether I am worthy of being a mother is not for you, a sanctimonious hypocrite, to judge. She is not my biological child, so of course I don't care about her, but you are my father. Did you remember her when you escaped from Qing'an City? If not Er My aunt reminds you, you must not have noticed that you are missing a daughter yet, right? This is extremely hypocritical. If you ask me, the most unfortunate thing for the third girl is to have you as her father!" The eldest lady retorted to Chang Gui eloquently.
Chang Gui was so angry that his head was about to smoke. He pointed at the eldest lady, "You...you..." He couldn't hold back any other words for a long time. The eldest lady probably tore off his hypocrisy and made him feel guilty.
When the eldest lady saw him like this, she just rolled her eyes in a sneer, then picked up the tea and took a sip gracefully.
Others were listening to the couple quarreling, not daring to take a breath for fear that the anger would spread to themselves. Even the fifth concubine, who was the most favored nowadays, just lowered her head and stared at the tea. There is no trace of the understanding and understanding that Jie Yuhua had in the past.
It’s a joke. Now the host and hostess of the family quarreled over the fact that their family had “lost” a child. Although none of them cared about the missing three girls, she was still a young lady from the Chang family. If an outsider knew that their family had fled, a young lady would be killed. If you fall behind and forget to take them with you to escape, wouldn't it make people laugh and make people think that the Chang family is cold and unfeeling?
That's why Fifth Aunt didn't touch this bad luck.
At this time, Chang Shuzhen spoke. She was the eldest wife's precious daughter. She was dignified, noble, and as beautiful as a flower. The eldest wife loved her like pearls, and Chang Gui also wanted to marry her because of her beauty. She has a good supporter in this troubled time, so she also attaches great importance to her.
Chang Shuzhen frowned and persuaded her parents in a soft voice, saying, "Mom, dad, please stop arguing. None of us want anything to happen to our third sister. It's just that we were too nervous and in a hurry when we left Qing'an City. That's why I ignored my third sister for a while, causing her current whereabouts to be unknown. This cannot be blamed solely on father or mother. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the enemy troops who invaded Qing'an City. They are the ones who caused the harm to our third sister and us. The culprit of the separation, the third sister has always been sensible
Filial piety, if she knew that her father and mother had a dispute because of her, she would definitely feel uneasy..."
What she said was clear and reasonable, and she seemed to be very reasonable. She also excused Chang Gui and the eldest wife from the guilt of "losing" Chang Shichu without leaving any trace. Who wouldn't like such a considerate daughter? Therefore, after Chang Gui and the eldest wife listened to her words, the expressions on their faces softened a lot, and they looked at Chang Shuzhen with approval: "She is indeed the daughter of our Chang family, and her words are... That makes sense.
"Zhen'er, you're right, your third sister definitely doesn't want me to worry about her." Chang Gui said shamelessly, not feeling guilty at all for abandoning his daughter.
"Dad, I still don't know if the third sister escaped later... Should we send someone back to look for her?" Chang Shuzhen asked hesitantly.
Chang Gui suddenly froze. To be honest, he just hopes that this daughter will never appear. It is best to die in Qing'an City. Otherwise, if he really finds her back and keeps her in front of him all day long, wouldn't it be a nightmare every day? Remind yourself that this father abandoned her?
"Qing'an City was massacred by the enemy. I heard that no one in the city survived. Your sister is just a weak girl with no strength. How can she escape? Let me tell you, there is no way. It is necessary to send someone back to look for this." The eldest wife did not hide her displeasure with her husband's concubine.
"How could you not look for her? She is my daughter after all!" As soon as Chang Gui heard what the eldest lady said, he couldn't help but want to confront her. If she objected, he would agree, so he stared at the eldest lady and sang against her. , "You just want her to die, right? How vicious!"
"Yes! I just want her to die! She is a girl. It would be better if she really dies. If she is lucky enough not to die, then she will not be able to survive even if she stays in Qing'an City. What kind of reputation must she have? If your chastity is gone, what are you still doing? We still have several daughters in our family! Do you want her to come back to discredit the Chang family? Damage the reputation of other daughters?" The eldest wife's words immediately hit Chang Gui's heart. .
He doesn't care at all about the daughter of a transparent man. He only cares about his power and wealth. If others know that he has a daughter who once fell into an enemy-occupied city, will it attract rumors? If it affects the reputation of the eldest daughter and prevents her from finding a good husband, wouldn't it be a small gain but a big loss?
