Chapter 203 Coming to Plunder
She poked it once but there was no response. Just as she was about to poke it again, Hongxiu, who was lying on the ground, raised her hand.
"I'm not dead, something's wrong, I'm hungry!"
After saying those few simple words, Hongxiu didn't respond. Huani heard the last three words and immediately felt sorry for the girl.
"Girl, wait here, I'll go back and get you some food."
She knew all too well what it felt like to be hungry; she hated that feeling and never wanted to experience it again in her life.
Now, when she hears someone say they're hungry in front of her, Huani thinks of her past self, and after finishing her sentence, she runs back.
She wanted to get food for that girl, even if she got scolded, she still wanted to get her some food.
Halfway there, Huani saw Gu Dachui. Gu Dachui was relieved to see that his wife was alright.
"She's a crazy woman, why are you chasing after her?"
"It's so cold now, and you haven't even had breakfast. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you..."
In rural families, there's no such thing as a man not going into the kitchen, and with Lin Cai around, this ridiculous rule doesn't apply to the Gu family.
So whether it's Gu Dachui or Gu Ershi, they can now make their own food. Although the taste isn't great, it's definitely not something that will kill them.
Huani nodded, saying she was hungry, and asked Gu Dachui to see if he could make more.
How could Gu Dachui possibly refuse his wife's request!
After a short while, Huani looked at the pancake in front of her, and then at the white porridge and steamed buns next to her.
Lin Cai taught them how to make the pancakes. White porridge and steamed buns are essential for the Gu family's mornings. Because there are many people in the Gu family, there are sometimes not enough to eat, so Lin Cai said to make more.
Even if you can't finish it in the morning, you can save it for lunch, so nothing will be wasted.
While they weren't looking, Huani took two steamed buns and two flatbreads and walked out.
Sanhu, who had just gotten up and was still rubbing his eyes, saw this and followed them out. Then he saw that the steamed buns and pancakes that Huani had taken out were snatched away by four women who rushed out from the roadside.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
When Sanhu saw the four women snatch the steamed buns and pancakes, he immediately rushed over and stood in front of Huani.
"Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you robbing people on the street?"
Hua Niang and the others were starving, so they grabbed whatever they could and divided it up immediately, while Hua Ni was startled.
She originally thought that Hongxiu would be the only one by the roadside, so she brought some extra steamed buns and pancakes, so that Hongxiu could eat them on the way if she couldn't finish them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they saw three more people emerging from the haystack. The three people smelled the aroma and immediately pounced to snatch the items.
She was so frightened that the four women naturally snatched away her steamed buns and pancakes.
No one answered Sanhu. Sanhu pulled Huani back a little, putting some distance between them and the four women.
The steamed buns and pancakes were quickly finished, but Honglin was still a little hungry, perhaps because he was extremely hungry.
She always felt that the steamed buns and pancakes this young lady brought were tastier than any she had ever eaten before.
"Young lady, do you have any more? Do you have any steamed buns or pancakes?"
Honglin, still feeling hungry, couldn't resist and stared longingly at Huani.
"Nothing left, nothing left, you've all taken it all! Where are there any steamed buns or flatbreads left?"
The speaker was Sanhu. Only after hearing him speak did Hua Niang and the others notice that there was another child there.
Honglin looked at Sanhu and said, "Hey kid, your sister hasn't said anything yet, what are you doing interrupting?"
"When adults are talking, children are not allowed to interrupt, understand?"
Honglin looked at Sanhu. Her words made both Sanhu and Huani unhappy. Hongxiu saw this and tugged at Honglin, saying, "Stop talking."
But Honglin wouldn't listen at all, and looked at Sanhu: "Kid, didn't you hear what I just said?"
"The steamed buns and pancakes your sister brought aren't enough. You're a man, you can run fast, could you go to your house and get me some more?"
That was rather shameless. After hearing it, Sanhu frowned and said, "My family is not a charity."
Sanhu had at least studied for two months, so he knew the difference between giving something as a gift and asking for something from someone.
They also know the difference between voluntary gifts and forced acquisition.
He had barely finished speaking when Honglin became unhappy. But before she could say anything, Huaniang said, "Young master, don't listen to her. She's just delirious from hunger and talking nonsense."
After saying that, he looked at Huani again: "Girl, thank you for the steamed buns and pancakes, thank you for saving my life..."
As Hua Niang spoke, she stood up and bowed to thank Hua Ni. Hua Ni had never seen anything like this before. She wanted to go up and stop the person, but she didn't dare to go forward.
Seeing that Huani was hesitant, Hua Niang continued, "Don't worry, young lady, we're not bad people. We're just lost and hungry, that's why..."
She said they were going to Gujia Village, but they didn't know where Gujia Village was. She said they were going to stay with relatives.
Because I haven't been here for many years, I don't know where to go now that I've arrived!
Hearing what Hua Niang said, Hua Ni didn't doubt the truth of her words at all, and even asked, "Do your relatives live in Gu Family Village?"
"Which family in Gujia Village is it? What's their surname? What's their given name? Do you all remember?"
Hua Niang nodded: "Of course I remember. My sister's surname was Lin, but I've forgotten her exact name because it's been so long!"
"You're really strange. You say they're your relatives, but you only know that their surname is Lin, and you've even forgotten their given name."
"Someone like you probably isn't here to visit relatives, but to freeload."
Sanhu spoke bluntly, saying that Hua Niang and the others were there to freeload.
He had overheard what Hua Niang had said earlier: coming to Gujia Village to find someone surnamed Lin, and the other party was a woman, so wasn't she looking for his mother?
There is only one family with the surname Lin in the entire Gujia Village, and their only daughter is Lin Cai.
The woman just said she came to see her sister, and the only one who fits that description is her mother, Lin Cai.
Sanhu's words were a bit harsh, and Honglin immediately stood up after hearing them: "Do you even know any manners, kid?"
"It's one thing for you to interrupt when adults are speaking, but now you're spewing vulgarities in front of us. Is this how your teacher taught you?"
Honglin speaks bluntly, directly bringing up the issue with the schoolteacher. Huani didn't understand what she meant, but she knew that studying was important, and she also knew that the teacher was someone she absolutely couldn't offend.
