Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong
Chapter 424: The Miserable "Rations" on the Road to Escape
"This……"
This was clearly an impolite request, and Sun Bailu was in a dilemma. She had already changed her surname, so returning to the Chen family was out of the question. But did she really have to give half of her belongings to the Chen family?
This wouldn't have been a problem before. She could just take half, and at worst, she could just make up for it later.
But the problem now is that her mall cannot be opened.
I want to take away half of the things, will the Sun family agree? Sure enough, the curtain was lifted, and Sun Zhengzhi and Old Madam Sun came out with Master Sun San and others.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Sun Zhengzhi coughed a few times, and when he calmed down the situation, Mrs. Sun spoke:
"Daughter-in-law of the Chen family, when we made the deal, all the grudges were settled. We have been giving in repeatedly these days out of concern for that girl Lulu. During this time, we have given your Chen family a lot of things."
"Don't come here again. These are difficult times, and the Sun family has nothing to eat now."
"If I give it all to you, how will our whole family, including this girl Lulu, survive?"
"Lulu girl, what do you think?"
What can Sun Bailu say?
Old Madam Sun has said so much. She can't just agree to give half of the things to the Chen family and let herself and the Sun family die.
Besides, the Chen family is indeed not in the right in this matter.
But she couldn't be so cruel as to ignore the life and death of the Chen family and completely offend Ma Pandi. Moreover, she secretly thought that Ma Pandi would do this because the Chen family really had no food.
She came to the Sun family to seek help because of her biological daughter. If she didn't give anything, Ma Pandi would feel that she was right to look down on the girl in the family.
There is really no point in having a daughter.
So Sun Bailu hesitated for a long time, and finally said with emotion:
"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom~ I know there's not much food left at home. But the Chen family is my flesh and blood after all, I can't just ignore them."
"How about this, we give the Chen family a little less food so they don't starve to death, okay?"
This was the first time Sun Bailu spoke so cautiously since he came to the Sun family.
"You girl!"
Even Master Sun couldn't control his emotions and immediately opened his mouth to curse. What kind of a damn fairy is this? Is her brain made of a hammer?
Did she know that she belonged to the Sun family now? Every day when she opened her eyes, she would eat and drink the Sun family's food and be served comfortably by the whole family.
Not only is he unable to produce anything, he even dares to act so disrespectfully in front of the Sun family.
I really want to pry open her head to see if there is a lump.
Ma Pandi was happy when she heard this:
"Humph, I always said my daughter wouldn't be unfilial. It's all because of you, the Sun family, being so vicious that you almost led my good daughter astray!"
Upon hearing this, the Sun family members became even angrier.
Looking at Sun Bailu and then at Ma Pandi, I really want to throw her back to the Chen family. Isn't that a complete ungrateful person? Unfortunately, considering Sun Bailu's usefulness, I can't really do that.
"Cough, cough!"
At the critical moment, Sun Zhengzhi remained calm. He pondered for a moment and then ordered:
"Forget it, forget it. Old Third, please get some food for Chen's wife. Remember to take our best food."
He emphasized the word "best".
It just so happened that the Sun family had privately exchanged one pound of refined white rice for about three pounds of miscellaneous grains with a more well-off family in the same group yesterday.
In reality, if calculated at market prices, the Sun family would have suffered a huge loss, so they only exchanged one kilogram. However, on the road fleeing famine, it was rare to find someone willing to trade grains for refined white rice.
The reason why Sun Zhengzhi reluctantly agreed to give food to Ma Pandi was not only because he was afraid that Sun Bailu would become alienated, but also because he saw that more and more families fleeing famine were gathering around.
Everyone stared at the Sun family's shed with blue eyes.
I was afraid that if Ma Pandi didn't care and started a commotion, someone would definitely take advantage of the situation. After all, the Sun family had secrets, and if something really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Mrs. Sun San was not stupid. She understood her father-in-law's meaning and immediately agreed. She turned and went into the shed. In a moment, she took out half of the grains and handed them to Ma Pandi.
When he let go, he glared at her:
"Look, our Sun family only has this much food. I'm giving it all to you now. Don't make trouble again!"
Seeing this, Sun Zhengzhi felt relieved.
Fortunately, the third brother's family was a man of good fortune and understood his hint. Ma Pandi opened the bag of grain and saw that the Sun family had only given so little this time, and it was all coarse grain.
Feeling dissatisfied.
But she also felt that if she faced so many people from the Sun family alone, she would not gain much benefit if she continued to make trouble. She snorted coldly:
"You think you can get rid of me with just this little money? Do you think I'm a beggar? Humph!"
Having said that, he turned around and left without a moment's hesitation.
There were so many people gathered around her, and she was afraid even with the food in her hands.
Madam Sun was so angry that her whole body was shaking: outrageous, really outrageous. This bitch came and spat thick phlegm on her face, and then humiliated her with foul language.
In the end, I returned with a full load.
The most infuriating thing is that Sun Bailu, the adopted daughter, didn't defend herself in front of her biological mother. She is really an ungrateful person.
Although during this period, her so-called original intention of giving to her daughter was also exploitation.
But now, she couldn't help but feel disheartened.
However, when Ma Pandi brought the grains back to the Chen family, the Chen family was not satisfied. The whole family gathered together and thought that the Sun family must have something big to hold against them.
Otherwise, he would not have been so tolerant and yielded to the Chen family again and again.
The old man of the Chen family slapped his thigh and made a decision immediately: "Tonight you guys go find out what's going on..."
The Chen family all agreed. They had a habit of stealing things when they were in the village.
Now that they are on the road to escape famine, moral ethics have been thrown aside.
The journey in the afternoon went smoothly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
It quickly got dark.
After dinner, the two of them took a short walk near the carriage. Then, Situ Zhige concentrated on reading an ancient book by the wall lamp on the carriage.
Suddenly, the book in my hand was snatched away by a pair of white little hands.
"Ok?"
Situ Zhige raised his eyes with some confusion, and saw Qu Xiaoxiao giving him a wicked smile, looking like a cunning little fox.
"What's the point of just reading books?"
Qu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'll take you to see the excitement tonight..."
"OK,"
Situ Zhige agreed readily.
He is not a real god who is detached from the world, he is just an ordinary person.
He also likes lively gossip and other things.
The important thing is, just by looking at the little fox's wicked smile, he felt that the lively scene that Qu Xiaoxiao described would be very lively.
By midnight, most of the moon was hidden behind the treetops, with only patches of light and shadows appearing through the gaps between the branches.
The Chen family members tiptoed and moved around the shed built by the Sun family as if they were familiar with the place.
The women stayed outside to keep watch.
Several big men first listened to the noise in the shed, and then Boss Chen, holding a wooden stick in his hand, took the lead and went in.
