Jin Chu looked at the steamed buns in front of him quietly and did not go forward to take them.

She said calmly to Madam Sun, "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Sun. However, Zhao'er and I have been eating steamed bread for nearly a year, and our stomachs have become rough. I'm afraid we can't handle these white flour buns. Didn't you say last time you came that we were short of food at home? In that case, you should keep these buns for yourself!"

Seeing that Jinchu was reluctant to take the bag, Sun had no choice but to bend down and put the bag of steamed buns on the table herself.

She cursed in her heart, "That damned girl never forgets to insult others and take advantage of them. It seems she hasn't had enough of the steamed buns she's been eating for over half a year, and now she's still pretending to be so noble!"

A malicious smile appeared on his face: "The last time Zhao'er went home to get food, it happened to be your Grandpa Liu's 55th birthday, so I steamed some white flour buns that day. At that time, I saw Zhao'er took a few while no one was paying attention. I think he must like eating those white flour buns very much..."

Having said that, Sun stopped talking and looked at Jinchu, as if reminding Jinchu of what happened that day.

Jinchu apologized clearly, "Zhao'er was definitely wrong. My throat was sore because my neck was strangled, and the steamed bread was too thick and hard to swallow. Zhao'er felt sorry for me, and when he saw the white flour buns from my aunt's house, he couldn't help but take a few. Regardless of his original intention, this act of stealing was definitely wrong. As an older sister, I failed to take good care of my brother. It's my fault. I apologize to my aunt again."

After saying that, Jin Chu made an apologetic gesture towards Sun with an expressionless face.

This Sun deliberately mentioned that Zhao'er liked white flour buns, wasn't it just to mock Jinchu? Her own brother stole things, but she was still pretending to be noble?

Jin Chu saw through Sun's tricks clearly, so she simply admitted her mistake frankly and apologized to Sun without really caring about it.

Sun said hypocritically, "It's normal for children to be greedy. I originally thought it was Zhao'er's own fault, but I didn't expect there was another reason. Zhao'er is really considerate to her."

She complained rather aggrievedly, "If Zhao'er had explained the whole story to me that day, I would have let him take a few more white flour buns."

Jin Chu was too lazy to bear with her pretentious attitude and pierced through her hypocrisy with one word: "It's a good thing I didn't take a few more white flour buns from my aunt's house that day, otherwise I don't know whether my Zhao'er could come back safely!"

She glanced at Sun, whose eyes flickered slightly, and said pointedly, "Your brother Fudan is tall and strong, so I imagine his punches are quite powerful! My Zhao'er was able to return home safe and sound, thanks in large part to Fudan's mercy!"

Jinchu means that it is wrong for my child to steal your steamed buns, but is your child's behavior of beating up my child for a few steamed buns worthy of praise?

You, Sun, are still pretending to be ignorant and just keep laughing at the fact that my Zhao'er stole your steamed buns. In that case, I naturally have to mention your child's behavior of beating up my child!

When it comes to doing wrong, we are all equally guilty, no one can get away with it!

Sun was stunned.

She originally thought that Zhao'er was the kind of person who would endure being beaten in silence and would just hide it when he got home. Although this kid was young, he always protected his sister.

This kind of beating and humiliation had happened before, but Jin'er had never mentioned it. Sun thought that Zhao'er had kept it a secret again.

Unexpectedly, this time Zhao'er actually told Jin'er about the beating she received. Now Jin'er is no longer the submissive person she used to be, so she fought back on the spot.

Thinking of this, Sun slapped her thigh and cried out, "Ouch!" "It's my fault that I went to the backyard to get you some corn. But when I got to the front yard, I saw these two brothers fighting with punches and kicks! I quickly put down my things and tried to stop them. Fortunately, it's normal for children to make noises, and the fighting brought out their feelings, didn't it?"

Sun laughed it off and wanted to put the matter behind her.

Jin Chu was too lazy to talk to her about these past gossips, so he stopped talking and just waited for Sun to leave tactfully.

There was no way she would marry this so-called young master of Mr. Li's family.

Because she had just arrived and had no money, and was in a cruel environment where survival was a problem, her plan was to feign flattery with the Sun family first, to ensure that she and Zhao'er could get enough supplies from the Sun family to safely survive the cold winter, and then plan the rest after the New Year.

Anyway, she is still young and won't be able to reach marriage age until next year.

Although Sun was greedy and stingy, she still wanted to maintain some face. At least in Qingxi Village, she still maintained her image. After all, this might be where she would live out her life in the future.

For this reason alone, it was impossible for Mrs. Sun to force Jinchu to get married immediately, so Jinchu knew very well that she was still safe this year.

Thanks to the generosity of the man in black, Jin Chu now suddenly has money, and the most urgent survival problem is solved at once.

Sun became less important to Jinchu.

But you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.

Since Sun was able to harm her once, if she fails, she can harm her a second time.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Sun came here today was that she still hadn't given up and wanted to coax Jinchu into getting married.

Although Jin Chu had only been here for a short time, he knew that Mr. Li was not someone to be trifled with.

This woman, Mrs. Sun, is only concerned about money and has accepted so much silver from others. Now, if she doesn't marry Jinchu to him, he will definitely not forgive her.

The best way at the moment is to take advantage of Jin Chu's suicide attempt and go to the Li family to return all the betrothal money he has taken and apologize sincerely. Perhaps the situation can be turned around.

But judging by how Sun had been testing him again and again today, this woman must be reluctant to part with the huge sum of money, so now that she saw that he had recovered, she came to him again with evil intentions.

"Jin'er, you guys eat these steamed buns first. I'm going back today. If you have any problems, just come to me. I promise I won't treat you unfairly anymore."

Seeing Jinchu's stubborn look, Sun knew that there would be no gain if she stayed any longer today, so she simply went back and would deal with it slowly another day.

Jin Chu saw clearly what she was thinking.

But you can come as you like and leave as you like, you are so beautiful!

So Jinchu called out, "Auntie, please stay a while!"

When Sun turned to look at her happily, Jinchu pointed at the steamed buns and said, "Auntie, Zhao'er and I are both living people. We need three meals a day. When you remember, you save a few bites for us. When you don't remember, you let us fend for ourselves. Is this what you call treating us sincerely?"

This damn girl is going to ask for too much again, Sun cursed in her heart.

She was about to change her expression when she suddenly thought of the huge pile of silver behind the girl. Her anger immediately subsided and she asked with a forced smile, "Jin'er, you're right. I was overthinking it. I'll send you some flour, vegetables, and eggs someday so you and your sister can have some good nourishment."

Waiting for this sentence!

Jin Chu nodded slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie!"

"No need, no need!" Sun waved her hands and walked out, fearing that if she was a step late, this damn girl would make more demands.

Jin Chu snorted disdainfully at her fleeing figure.
