If they were the ones who had their food stolen, they would scold the thief until their ancestors leaped up from their graves!
The other families also started scolding their sons.
How could their sons do such a thing? An Jiuyue had rescued them from the flood. She was already being nice to them. How could they steal her food?
They were not her biological children either. She did not understand why she should give the food to other children instead of the ones she was raising.
“Mrs. Jin, your children must be invaluable! I’m supposed to give my food to your children and not mine? You’re really shameless! Must everyone save some food for your family?
“Look at how pitiful you sound! Do you have that many children? Ask everyone here. Which family doesn’t have children?
“Are you implying that your children are children, but others’ children aren’t children? They deserve to be robbed of their food and starved to death?”
Mrs. Jin shook her head quickly. “I… I don’t mean that.”
She never wanted anyone’s child to starve to death. She simply did not have any food at home and happened to recall that An Jiuyue’s family had food.
Hence, she and her husband had designs on her food.
