Chapter 212: Already Saved the Ingrate

Besides, she did not ask her husband to steal all the food in An Jiuyue’s house.
“You may not mean that, but what about your man?”
An Jiuyue looked up and glanced at An Gouzi, still hanging from the tree and howling.
“I didn’t think there would be another family of ingrates apart from Old An’s family! You had designs on not only my food but also my two sons!
“You want to sell my sons for money? Dream on! Do you really think I’m a pushover, Mrs. Jin?”!!
She exposed the couple, letting everyone know what kind of people they were.
“What?!” Mrs. Jin was stunned when she heard this.
An Gouzi only told her he wanted to steal An Jiuyue’s family’s food. He did not say he wanted to capture An Jiuyue’s sons.
“No, I don’t know about this. I really don’t.” She shook her head quickly.
This has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to be chased out to the straw sheds like Old An’s family. I don’t want to contract the epidemic disease and not know if I’ll survive!
The thought of Old An and his family made her hair stand on end. She took a step back subconsciously.
How can he do this? How can he do such a wicked thing without discussing it with me? I wouldn’t have called the Chief and the others here if I knew!
“It has nothing to do with me. It must be… It must be… No, An Jiuyue, you must be talking nonsense! My husband will never do that. We have children too. Why would we sell other people’s children?”
She wanted to push the blame on her man, but she changed her mind and pinned it on An Jiuyue.
As long as we don’t admit it, why would anyone believe her words?
An Jiuyue chuckled again and sized up Mrs. Jin seriously.
“Saving you is the worst thing I’ve done in my entire life!”
She was very blunt. If she were to be given another chance, she would kick Mrs. Jin back into the floodwaters even if she wanted to board her bamboo raft.
She would never save a woman like her no matter what.
Unfortunately, she had already saved the ingrate, and it was too late to regret it. There was nothing she could do about it.
“You—”
Mrs. Jin did not expect An Jiuyue to say that.
However, she could not find any words to refute An Jiuyue. After all, she genuinely wanted to steal An Jiuyue’s food to support her family.
She panicked suddenly, and her face turned pale. She did not know why, but she had a feeling something would happen to her in the future—and An Jiuyue would only watch her suffer without helping her.
Even so, she gritted her teeth and replied, “I didn’t tell you to save me. An Jiuyue, put my husband down quickly. He didn’t manage to steal your food, so you can’t hang him up.”
Her words left everyone around speechless.
Were his actions not considered theft because he failed? The world would be in chaos if everyone had this mindset.
Everyone would go out to steal and get away with it if they did not steal successfully. And even if they did, they would not be punished if no one discovered it. What a good deal!
