186 How Can There Be So Many Fair Things in this World?!
Lin Suisui had been helping Yuan Niang recuperate for the past two days.
It was already difficult for Yuan Niang to survive. Later on, she suffered a huge blow. Although she wasn’t personally harmed, she had a high fever and almost died.
Fortunately, Lin Suisui risked her life to drag her back from the gates of hell.
Although her fever had subsided, her health was affected. Lin Suisui could only use the herbs in the refugee camp to prepare medicine for her for the time being.
At this moment, Yuan Niang had finally fallen asleep, but there was such a huge commotion outside. Lin Suisui couldn’t help but frown as she lifted the curtain and crawled out of Yuan Niang’s carriage.
Her anger was immediately replaced by worry when she saw Mrs. Luo faint. She quickly took a few steps over and forcefully separated the crowd. She squatted down to take Mrs. Luo’s pulse, but when she felt Fang Liu gently tugging at her sleeve, she suddenly understood the reason for this chaos.
“My mother has fainted. Everyone, go back first! If there’s anything, please wait for my mother to recover before you come over to talk to her.”
Fang Liu’s expression was cold as she looked up at the women who were still watching and had no intention of leaving. The anger in her heart surged.
According to her previous discussion with her mother at night, if it really didn’t work out today, her mother would pretend to be sick. As long as she fell down now, those people couldn’t possibly stay here any longer, right?!
However, reality proved that they thought too highly of these people!
They had no sense of shame at all!
For the sake of their family’s interests, not to mention being sick, even if her mother died, they might even stop her coffin from being buried and let Erlang settle things for them before letting her be buried!
“Why? Could it be that you want to force my mother to death?!”
Seeing that the circle of people around them still didn’t leave, Fang Liu was furious. She couldn’t help but scold them, “My mother can’t give you guys what you want!
“If you really have the ability, you can go and argue with the person in charge. What’s the point of surrounding us women who don’t know anything?!”
“Alright, let’s go look for that manager!”
Fang Liu’s words clearly agitated this group of women. The hot-tempered women rushed forward and grabbed Lin Suisui, who was still carefully taking Mrs. Luo’s pulse, and said anxiously, “Madam Liu, we escaped from the capital together. Now that your husband has obtained authority, he can’t just care about himself and neglect the lives of others, right?!
We’re not asking for too much. We just want to become a military household and have a few more acres of farmland!
“Since he could help Fang Erlang back then, why can’t he help us now?!”
These words echoed the thoughts of the surrounding people. Lin Suisui sneered and raised her hand to gently brush off the hand of the woman who was tugging at her sleeve. The woman screamed and covered her hand as she took a few steps back before stopping in fear. She stared at Lin Suisui and asked in disbelief, “You actually pricked me?!”
“So what if I pricked you?! If you don’t follow the rules next time, I’ll cripple you! This will save you from causing trouble again!”
After Lin Suisui put away the silver needle and stood up slowly, she looked at the group of cowards around her indifferently. “I know what you guys want, but before I consider whether to agree or not, I have something to ask you guys.”
She took two slow steps and got a view of everyone here. Then, she continued, “You guys said that the Fang family’s second son joined the army and obtained a military position in advance because of my husband’s help.
Alright, do you guys remember when this happened?!
Back then, when my husband told the Fang family’s second son this news, didn’t he tell you guys?!
But how did you guys choose back then?!
I heard that more than a hundred guys went, but later on, because they knew that they were going to deal with the northern barbarians, half of them escaped that day. The remaining twenty or so people were also dragged back by you guys!
You guys would rather drown them in your tears than let them fight to the death for the safety of the refugee camp!
Now that everything is settled, you guys are thinking about the benefits?!
How can that work?!”
“You’re right. We were afraid back then! They are northern barbarians. My family only has one adult man now. His brother is still young. If something really happens to him, how will I be able to survive?!”
Faced with Lin Suisui’s accusation, most of the women blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to say anything else. Only a few bold and thick-skinned women continued to pester her.
“You’re right. Since you chose to save your son’s life at that time, why are you causing a ruckus now?!”
“But the northern barbarians didn’t attack the refugee camp later on! The soldiers who came later were transferred from other places! Therefore, so what if the Fang family’s second son and the others joined the army or not?!
“In that case, why can they obtain the status of a military household and get so much more land than us? Even the area they’re assigned to is much richer than ours. Isn’t this too unfair?!”
At this point, someone blurted out what many refugees in the refugee camp were thinking.
If the northern barbarians had really invaded and they had fought to the death at that time, it would have been fine!
But they didn’t.
At most, they helped move weapons, carry the injured, and put out the fire! Her man had also done these things at that time!
But why? Now that everything had been settled, they could obtain such coveted benefits through meritorious service, but they, who had also contributed, couldn’t obtain anything?!
They were indignant!
“How can there be so many fair things in this world?! However, since you mentioned this, I can tell you why they have the right!” Lin Suisui looked up at these women with a sharp gaze. “When they stayed, they planned to fight to the death!”
