He looked at Huang Cuicui with shining eyes, thinking that if he could have a full meal today, he would be able to work for a day.

Even if it means digging canals and reclaiming wasteland with his father, he will do it!

"What do you mean your money and food? They are all mine. I said I would starve you for two days, so you should starve you for two days. People in the past could survive if they starved you for ten days or half a month, but you can't stand it after just one day?"

Cao Chengcai's face darkened. Although he usually listened to the old lady and was willing to hand over the money and food, and let Huang Cuicui manage the money and food.

It was all because Huang Cuicui said that Zhang Guifen was an outsider, and if she ran away with his money, he and his children would be left starving.

That's why all these were put in Huang Cuicui's hands. Now Huang Cuicui says that they are hers. Even an honest person can't tolerate this.

"Mom, you stopped working when I was fourteen. After we separated at the age of twenty-two, the other brothers and sisters didn't want to take care of you, so you followed me. I didn't let you work. We lived frugally over the years. How come it's not my money or my food?"

Cao Dongnan nodded behind him, but Huang Cuicui jumped up and cursed as if her tail was stepped on, "You unfilial son, if I had known you were such a person, I should have thrown you into the urine bucket and drowned you when you were born, so that you wouldn't come here and yell at me now."

She pretended to wipe away her tears, then howled and said:

"What do you mean your brothers don't want me? I saw that your family needed help, so I wanted to stay and take care of your family. I knew that you forgot about your mother after you got married.

For whom have I been managing my family and the outside world these years? Tell me this now.

What money? You eat and drink every day, and you don’t need money to marry a wife? Doesn’t your wife need money to see a doctor and get medicine? She is sick every day, so how can she work and do anything? "

"I'm working alone, and there are so many mouths to feed at home. The little brats are eating me out of money, so how can there be anything left?

If I hadn't lived frugally, I wouldn't have enough to eat. Now you're asking me for food and money. It's really unfair. It's really unfair. It's good that you've done it, but it's better that you haven't done it yet!"

Cao Chengcai began to doubt himself after hearing her talk. Indeed, he often heard his mother say that Zhang Guifen was often sick, and she would say she had bought this medicine or that medicine for her.

Could it be that it was really because Zhang Guifen didn't go to work and was often sick that there was no food stored?

Could it be that I really blamed my own mother wrongly?

Suddenly a look of shame appeared on her face. Seeing this, Huang Cuicui cried even harder, but she forgot that there was Cao Dongnan standing behind Cao Chengcai.

Cao Dongnan tugged at his father's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice:

"Grandma, didn't we just exchange food with the team? It's about 100 to 200 kilograms!"

In the entire village, his family exchanged the most food, not because his family had a lot of work points, but because Huang Cuicui was afraid that there would be no food to eat in the future, so she exchanged all her work points for food.

Other families think that they should exchange half first and keep the remaining half to exchange for meat or money during the Chinese New Year.

After all, within half a year, the vegetables will be almost grown, so if you eat them sparingly, half of them can last for half a year.

Cao Chengcai's eyes lit up. Yes, they had just exchanged 100 or 200 kilograms of food, and it had only been more than a month. If 100 or 200 kilograms of food were to be mixed with sweet potatoes and other wild vegetables, they would not be able to finish eating them in a year!

Moreover, Zhang Guifen passed away, and there were only three of them at home. In the past few days, they ate rice bran and rice porridge almost every day. They could even count the rice grains in the porridge.

If you look at it this way, there must be a lot of them at home.

He raised his head and looked at Huang Cuicui excitedly, wanting to hear what she had to say, but Huang Cuicui stopped crying the moment Cao Dongnan opened her mouth.

It was as if someone suddenly grabbed his neck when a rooster crowed. He looked at Cao Dongnan hatefully, his eyes seemed as if he wanted to eat him.

When Cao Chengcai looked at him, his pupils shrank and he quickly turned his gaze away, not daring to meet Cao Chengcai's gaze.

"Mom, where's the food? Hurry up and take it out! Even if you don't take it out, can you at least show it to us?"

At this time, after Cao Dongnan's reminder, Cao Chengcai also realized that something was wrong, and someone had specifically reminded him in the ear a few days ago.

He became more and more anxious and moved closer to Huang Cuicui.

Huang Cuicui stepped back guiltily, and she no longer had the confidence to curse at others.

"Food, I hid the food. Otherwise, if those people saw it, wouldn't it be taken away?"

Cao Chengcai nodded, as if he believed her words, but his expression was not very good. "Then mother, I am your son. These grains were all exchanged for my work points. It won't be a problem if I take a look, right?

If you are worried about Dongnan's kid, I'll ask him to go out, can you let me take a look at him?"

"Food, doesn't food just look like that? What's so good about it? Don't all food look the same? What's so good about it?"

"Mom, someone told me that you gave the food away. I want to take a look now. Don't force me!"

Huang Cuicui stared at him with wide eyes. What he said made her chest tighten. Even Cao Dongnan, who was standing at the door, looked at his father in horror.

After a long while, Huang Cuicui finally came to her senses and patted Cao Chengcai's chest with an unstable breath, but Cao Chengcai did not dodge, but he did not give in either.

This made Huang Cuicui even more frightened, and she exerted more force on her hands. "What are you talking about? What do you mean I gave away the food? Am I that kind of person? You trust others but you don't trust me, your mother, right? I've really been raised in vain! I'm so mad, get out, get out, I don't want to see you!"

"Mom, if you show me some food, I will leave. Otherwise, I will never leave even if I die."

Cao Dongnan, who was standing at the door, didn't know why his father was so determined to see the grain, and he also suspected that his grandmother had given the grain away.

However, he felt that his grandmother would definitely not give the food to anyone. After all, she was a well-known miser in the village, and her relationship with the villagers was not good. At most, it was just a favor of face.

With such a relationship, Cao Dongnan really couldn't imagine who his grandmother would give something to if she wanted to give it to someone.

But it didn't stop him from being fed up with his grandmother not giving them food, and he would love to make a scene.

He watched his father being beaten and his grandmother only saying the same two sentences over and over again, while he stood at the door alone, feeling anxious.

But he couldn't do it, and then his eyes lit up and he shouted into the house: "Dad, I'm going to ask grandpa to come and help, otherwise grandma will really beat you to death, and then I'll be an orphan." As he said that, he was about to turn around.
