Chapter 598: Qin Xiaomei Fainted from Hunger (2)
"Then why didn't you open your mouth just now?" Susu asked in confusion.
"...I'm too embarrassed to see anyone." Qin Xiaomei turned her head away in embarrassment, her face blushing.
"You almost slept yourself to death..." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile, looking at Qin Xiaomei, she saw that she didn't seem to be very sad, but more embarrassed.
"But how come you can't even afford to eat?" Su Su frowned and asked, "You didn't give all your savings to Wu Zichang?"
"...No, I still have some savings, and Wu Zichang's parents have returned the money I had." Qin Xiaomei looked up at the two of them, then lowered her eyes and answered sadly. "They are the ones who refused to sell the grain to me!"
"No way? The people in the grain shop won't sell you grain?" Ji Xiaowu frowned and asked. Didn't Bai Yichen sell the grain at the normal price? Why didn't Qin Xiaomei buy it yet?
"No, no... I didn't dare go out... I bought it from the neighbors in the alley." Qin Xiaomei lowered her head, "They all scolded me for being fickle and thought my money was dirty, so they refused to sell it to me."
"Then you can go to the grain store on the street? The grain is good and not expensive?" Susu looked at Qin Xiaomei in confusion.
I think she's a bit silly.
"Don't you care? If you don't care, why do you hide in your shell and don't want to see anyone?" Ji Xiaomu revealed Qin Xiaomei's thoughts in one sentence. She said she didn't care, but her body was very honest.
"I..." Qin Xiaomei wanted to refute, but her tears fell first and hit the quilt. Qin Xiaomei quickly covered her disobedient eyes.
"What happened in the past few days?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Qin Xiaomei and asked seriously.
"...After Wu Zichang was arrested, the villagers knew about my story. A lot of scoundrels gathered in the alley and frequently passed by my house. Some even knocked on my door in the middle of the night..." Qin Xiaomei choked up. "Then the next day, when I went out, the women in the alley pointed at me when they saw me passing by, saying that they heard someone knocking on my door in the middle of the night, saying that I was a fickle woman and had a tryst with a man at home in the middle of the night..."
"Then some scoundrels blocked my way, saying foul language and trying to take advantage of me. I scolded them harshly, but they didn't give up. They climbed over my wall in the middle of the night and tried to get in. After they got in, they were bitten by my dog and ran away." Qin Xiaomei said, "But when they ran away, they ran out of my front door and were seen by a neighbor..."
"Now they can see it with their own eyes. The rumors have become true in their eyes, so they are unwilling to sell you grain." Ji Xiaowu said slowly, and Qin Xiaomei nodded with red eyes. "Yes."
"...This is too much." Su Su said angrily, "How can these people do this? You are obviously the victim, you are the one deceived by Wu Zichang, why are they throwing dirty water on you without knowing the truth? Can those second-rate people be good people? They didn't even help you and watched you being bullied?"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Susu put down the porridge in her hand heavily, which scared Qin Xiaomei.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you! I was so angry..." Susu realized that she had frightened Qin Xiaomei and quickly apologized.
"It's okay. You are also standing up for me. How could I be angry with you?" Qin Xiaomei was not angry. The Susu Ji Xiaomu in front of her was the only two people who would speak for her. She was very touched. How could she be angry?
