Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 419: The Miserable "Rations" on the Road to Escape

Doctor Sun turned around and said to Ma Pandi:

"Sister, you probably don't know, but our Sun family has always been a family of good deeds. Coincidentally, the men in the family brought us some food a few days ago, so we can consider it a blessing brought by this child."

"Since this child is destined to be with my family, I cannot harm her life. Therefore, Lulu is now officially my daughter and has no relationship with your Chen family anymore. I believe my sister also recognizes this."

These words were spoken seriously, and Ma Pandi, who had been oppressed, nodded in agreement unconsciously. Madam Sun then changed the subject, her expression relaxed, and she smiled and said:

"After all, this child came from my sister's belly, right? We, the Sun family, are grateful. This little bit of food is just a token of our family's appreciation. I hope my sister won't despise it!"

The moment Ma Pandi saw the rice, her eyes lit up: Oh my God, this is white rice, white rice!

On this journey of fleeing famine, food is sometimes more precious than gold.

As for the mud, sand, and gravel inside? Sorry, Ma Pandi didn't pay any attention to it. And her daughters' names, Sun Bailu and Chen Bailu, had long been forgotten by Ma Pandi.

He rushed over, snatched the rice bag from Madam Sun's hand, and weighed it:

"Oh, sister, what are you talking about? That's too polite, too polite!... In that case, I won't stay any longer. You guys get busy, get busy!"

After saying this, he picked up the rice bag and ran away as fast as he could, as if he was afraid that Madam Sun would go back on her word. He didn't even look at his daughter once.

Sun Bailu looked at Ma Pandi's back as she ran away, and for a moment his expression felt a little lost.

Madam Sun comforted her:

"Don't be sad, my dear daughter. This is the end of your relationship as mother and daughter. Don't be afraid~ You still have mother by your side."

She gently placed Sun Bailu's little head against her chest, patted her comfortingly and said:

"Mother will treat you well and protect you, so that you can grow up well and marry happily and have children in the future. Don't worry, the entire Sun family will be your support in the future~"

These words were spoken so sweetly that the subtle sense of loss in Sun Bailu's heart was instantly dispelled without a trace.

Then he smiled sweetly and said:

"I understand, mother. You are so kind. I will be filial to you in the future... But, mother, what happened to that bag of rice just now? How did it get dirty?"

"Silly girl, mother knew you would ask,"

Madam Sun looked as if she was teaching carefully:

"Now that you're a member of the Sun family, you naturally can't let the Chen family guess where this miraculous thing came from. So think about it, if the rice mother gave you was too clean, the Chen family would be suspicious, right?"

"That's true."

Sun Bailu suddenly realized that she had previously thought that the Sun family was her own flesh and blood, and had not really thought too much about it. Fortunately, Madam Sun reminded her, otherwise her mall might have been exposed to the Chen family long ago.

Sun Bailu once again confirmed in his heart that his decision to join the Sun family was right, and he now had complete trust in the Sun family.

Mrs. Sun was secretly glad in her heart.

Fortunately, I made a quick decision today and gave away a few kilograms of rice to send the Chen family away. Otherwise, I don't know how many good things Sun Bailu would have spent.

This girl was bought with her sister-in-law's life. So even if the good things on her were not hers, they must belong to the eldest wife, or at least the Sun family.

Why should the Chen family have a share of the pie?

And then there's what she just said - giving things away is a small matter, but if the Chen family really knew the secret of this girl, even if they guessed it, the Sun family would be in big trouble.

The family solved their problem and went into the shed to eat and drink.

By this time, Ma Pandi had excitedly returned to the Chen family's resting place.

"Dad, Mom, Master, look what goodies I've brought back!" Ma Pandi shouted excitedly. The Chen family had just finished eating sour meat and were lying on the ground, trying to take a nap.

Hearing Ma Pandi's sudden call, they all looked up at her. Seeing her holding the rice bag, they immediately perked up.

"Old Third, what are you yelling about? What are you holding in your hand?" asked the old woman of the Chen family with narrowed eyes.

"Hehe~ Mom, you'll never guess!... It's rice. Big white rice, Mom!"

Ma Pandi smiled happily and spread out the rice bag mysteriously in front of everyone to show off, which immediately blinded everyone's eyes.

"Wife, pinch me quickly, this... this is real, is this real white rice?"

The third son of the Chen family couldn't believe his eyes, so he asked Ma Pandi to pinch him. Ma Pandi didn't say anything and twisted the soft flesh on his waist hard.

"Ouch, it hurts me so much!"

Chen Laosan raised his hand and slapped Ma Pandi in the face: "You old tiger woman, if I told you to pinch me, you did it. Why are you using so much force? Are you trying to strangle me to death?!"

Ma Pandi lowered her head in grievance, secretly twisting her fingers - it seemed that she had used too much force. She glanced at her mother-in-law and found that she had no intention of speaking for her, so she could only pout:

Well, I was just drifting away.

The Chen family members were accustomed to this kind of scene, and their attention at the moment was only on the bag of food falling from the sky.

Chen Laoer took a handful, put it in his mouth and chewed it, then he shouted, "Oh my God, this is real, real white rice!"

"Shut up and yell, 'Ball Ball!' Be careful not to attract anyone!"

The Chen family's old man glared at his second son in dissatisfaction and scolded him. His second son just couldn't keep his composure - he was so old, but he still had no depth at all.

When Chen Laoer was scolded by his father, he immediately shut up and dared not shout.

"Old man, hide the rice quickly," Old Man Chen ordered. Old Man Chen agreed and immediately took the bag from Ma Pandi's hand and hid it in the pile of rags he brought with him.

Only then did the Chen family elders find the time to ask Ma Pandi where the rice came from. Ma Pandi immediately told them about her visit to the Sun family.

"Old Third, I just realized today that I was wrong. You are such a fool!" The old woman slapped her thigh.

"You said that when you went there, the Sun family members were all inside the shed... and did the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family take the initiative to bring you rice?"

"Yes, what's wrong, Mom?" Ma Pandi was a little confused.

Didn't the mother-in-law always say that she was the smartest among the sisters-in-law? How come after she brought the rice back, she became a fool?

"What else is wrong?" the old woman said, disappointed.

"Didn't you ever think of taking a look at what's in that shed?"

"This...his family is blocking it tightly, so I can't see it. Besides, what else could it be..." Ma Pandi shut up after speaking, remembering what others had said before, that the Sun family had pulled a whole truck of things.

Indeed, she should have secretly pulled open the curtain and taken a look.

It was all Erni's fault—that damned girl—she had completely diverted his attention. She was just a money-loser, so why did it matter whether she lived or died? He had actually forgotten his business.

My mother-in-law was right to scold me, I am the fool.
