However, for the sake of her plan, Feng Wu had no choice but to ask, "Mrs. Gao, where are you going?"
Lady Gu smiled bitterly. "All we want is to get to the Northern Yan Kingdom. Once we're there, we can stay anywhere. We just want to live."
Feng Wu cleared her throat. "Can I come with you?"
Before Mrs. Gao could say anything, the third son's wife, who had come back with some firewood, threw a dirty look at Feng Wu. "No!"
Concerned that Feng Wu would be upset, Mrs. Gao smiled bitterly. "Actually…"
Her sister-in-law rolled her eyes at her. "Don't be so nice! You can't pick up a beggar by the side of the road! We'll have one more mouth to feed!"
Seeing that Mrs. Gao still wanted to say something, the sister-in-law smirked. "I'll tell my mother. Just wait and see!"
After that, she threw away her firewood and headed for the slope.
