Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

As soon as Lianrong Food Stall opened for business, Wenhui, dressed in coarse cloth, waited outside.

"Little sister, my mother asked me to come to the shop to help you. Just let me handle any of the rough or tiring work."

Wen Hui's face was sincere, but her shrewd eyes could never be hidden.

Lian Rongrong frowned, making no attempt to hide her displeasure, but in order to explain to her mother, she patiently spoke to Wen Hui:

"My second sister-in-law just got back and needs time to recover. The shop isn't very busy lately, but my eldest sister-in-law's side is really busy and needs help."

Seeing that Lian Rongrong clearly intended to drive her away, Wen Hui immediately put on a wronged expression.

"Little sister, I know you still have misunderstandings about me, although I don't know exactly what I did wrong."

Perhaps it's because of what happened between your aunt and Wang Yue that you're unhappy about. But there's nothing I can do about it.

Do you think I don't want to get rid of them? But can I? My father-in-law and the old lady both favor the mother and daughter.

Your second brother never stands up for me. In such a large family, if I don't pretend to get along with them, won't life be chaotic?

Wen Hui spoke in a very high-sounding manner, but while she could fool Lian's mother, it was wishful thinking to think she could fool Lian Rongrong.

Lian Rongrong snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "I don't understand what you're saying, Second Sister-in-law. I still remember the time when Fu Bao was hidden in Qi Yuan's car very well."

Wen Hui's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but she quickly adopted a wronged look and defended herself:

"Was that all done by Wang Yue? It really wasn't me."

"Alright, alright, I believe Wang Yue has the intelligence. For my mother's sake, let's not dwell on the past anymore."

However, sister-in-law, this place really isn't suitable for you. You should go home.

Wenhui was rebuffed early in the morning. Naturally, she was unhappy, but since Lian Rongrong was adamant, Wenhui had no other choice.

When Wen Hui returned home looking disheveled, Xiao Wu was playing with Ru'er in the yard.

Watching the two little girls bickering, Wenhui felt her head was about to explode.

She was about to lose her temper when she bumped into Lin Chuyue coming out of the room.

Lin Chuyue walked up to Ru'er and Xiao Wu with two bags of cookies. Ever since Wen Hui returned the ring to Lian Rongrong, the house has accumulated quite a few more nice things.

Wenhui liked these novelties, but was annoyed that she could only get them from Lian Rongrong.

However, although Wen Hui was furious, she had to swallow her anger because Lin Chuyue was there.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to help your little sister?" Lin Chuyue asked as she saw Wen Hui standing in the courtyard.

Lian Rongrong, this sister-in-law, is good in every way, except that she is easily trusting of others.

When Lin Chuyue mistakenly believed that Lian Yijun was dead, she hated Wen Hui to the core.

But now that Lian Yijun has returned, coupled with Wen Hui's deception of everyone, Lin Chuyue actually believes that Wen Hui has been wronged.

Wen Hui knew Lin Chuyue's personality well. She understood that Lin Chuyue and Lian Rongrong had a very good relationship, so she was even more careful not to speak ill of Lian Rongrong in front of Lin Chuyue.

So Wenhui forced a smile and replied to Lin Chuyue:

"My younger sister said the shop wasn't busy and asked me to come back and help my sister-in-law. Actually, it doesn't matter whether I go to the shop or not."

I just feel that our family is different now than before, and we can't just be people who do nothing.

Wen Hui's appearance truly aroused Lin Chuyue's sympathy.

Lin Chuyue stepped forward and gently patted Wen Hui's shoulder, saying softly:

"After so many things have happened, my little sister needs a break. And speaking of her, I actually hated you intensely when I thought your older brother was dead."

Chun Tao is dead, Xiao Liu and Chen Si are dead too. Even Grandma is...

My sister has had a tough time; let's give her some time.

Wen Hui nodded, her eyes reddening, and replied, "Sister-in-law, I understand."

While the two women were talking, Xiao Wu had unknowingly come to their side. She "sensibly" tugged at Wen Hui and Lin Chuyue's sleeves, and then said:

“Godmother, Aunt, don’t be sad. Since you and Uncle were able to escape death, maybe the rest of the family are still alive.”

Xiao Wu's words were truly pleasing to the ear. Lin Chuyue stroked Xiao Wu's hair with eyes full of satisfaction and murmured:

"This child is so sensible, it breaks my heart. Here, Auntie has some good food here, take it and share it with your sister."

All morning, Wen Hui worked diligently with Lin Chuyue, doing the cleaning and sweeping.

Although there are not many people in the family, there are even fewer who can do the work.

Before Wen Hui returned, Lin Chuyue did all the cooking, laundry, and medicine preparation by herself.

With Wen Hui's help, Lin Chuyue's life has indeed become much easier.

Lian Rongrong didn't come back for lunch, since the shop gets busier during mealtimes.

Moreover, the issues at Caiji Restaurant and Yunheju Restaurant have not been fully resolved, and even Rongrong is not at ease leaving the staff at the restaurant alone.

Ruan Nianzhi did not return either, but this was not surprising. Ruan Nianzhi was a compassionate doctor who often forgot to eat because he was treating patients.

There weren't many people at home, so we had a simple lunch.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. When Wenhui returned, she stayed in the same room as Lian's mother.

After serving her mother-in-law and getting her to rest, Wenhui went to the outer room alone and sat down on a chair in a huff.

Xiao Wu had already noticed that Wen Hui was in a bad mood, so when Wen Hui went out, she got up and followed her.

"Is your godmother unhappy?" Xiao Wu asked softly.

Wen Hui glanced at Xiao Wu. She didn't like children, but Xiao Wu knew a lot of secrets, so Wen Hui was still quite polite to her.

"This is none of your business, go to sleep." Wen Hui patiently urged Xiao Wu back to her room.

But Xiao Wu stood still and asked again, "Is Godmother angry because she can't go to the shop?"

Seeing that the girl was so tactless, Wen Hui's face immediately turned angry.

However, Xiao Wu didn't care and instead asked, "But why does Godmother insist on going to the shop?"

"What do you know? I used to be in charge of this family. Now the family's income comes from that food stall."

If I don't go, wouldn't I become an idle person? Besides, in my current situation, I'm at the mercy of others.

But if I could get my hands on Lianrong Food Stall, then…”

As Wen Hui spoke, a hint of pride and joy couldn't help but appear on her face.

Xiao Wu, however, showed a disdainful expression, though Wen Hui didn't see it.

While thinking about the stupid woman, Xiao Wu put on a fawning expression and said to Wen Hui:

“But godmother, it will be very hard for you to help out at the shop. Besides, it won’t be easy to take the shop away from aunt.”

"You think I don't know? But I can't let that girl ride on my neck and poop on me."

When Wen Hui recalled Lian Rongrong's smug look, she became even angrier.

But Xiao Wu, standing to the side, still had a smile on her face. She pointed to the milk powder on the table and said to Wen Hui:

“Godmother, look, there are some things you don’t have to do yourself. You can just ask and get whatever you want.”

Let Auntie do the dirty and tiring work. My godmother is so beautiful, why should she suffer like that?

"As long as the godmother keeps the grandmother happy, won't all of Aunt's things belong to the godmother?"

Wen Hui's gaze fell on the can of milk powder on the table, and she slowly nodded with a slight smile.
