Chapter 601 Poor An An

But she couldn't go back, so she had no food to eat on the first day she came here. She stewed meat at home at night, but she didn't even drink the soup.

The person she called her mother said that the home was small and she could only live in a woodshed. There was not enough food at home. She was so greasy and fat enough that she should eat less.

She dared not refute, she was afraid of being beaten.

At this moment, she looked at the dilapidated door and wanted to escape, but immediately gave up the idea.

When she followed her father up the mountain to chop wood during the day, she had already seen it around. It was surrounded by mountains and there was only one road to leave here. Both sides of the road were towering mountains, and wild animals would appear at any time. Going out at night was equivalent to sending herself into the mouth of the beast.

It seems that she can only find an opportunity to escape during the day, and tonight, she can only survive in this woodshed.

‘Squeak!’

At this moment, a sound of opening the door came, and An An's expression suddenly became nervous. She curled up and looked at the door through the moonlight.

"Girl..."

It was grandma's voice, she hurriedly got up and came to grandma's side.

"Grandma, why haven't you been sleeping yet?"

Grandma took out a steamed bun from her pocket and handed it to her.

"If you eat this steamed bun, you won't be able to eat."

"grandmother……"

An An suddenly felt a little moved. This white flour bun is a rare thing here. When she was having dinner today, she heard from her grandmother that she hadn't eaten white flour bun for several years and wanted to hide one and eat it at night.

I didn't expect that she hid it for herself.

An An looked at her gratefully and shook her head vigorously.

"Grandma, let me eat it, I'm not hungry."

"Silly girl, I haven't eaten for a day, how can I not be hungry? Eat quickly!"

As he spoke, grandma stuffed the steamed buns into her hands and asked softly to her:

"Girl, do you really don't remember who you are?"

An An pursed her lips, stared at her grandmother with her big eyes,

"My name is Ni Xiaohong."

Grandma's eyes turned red in an instant. She touched An'an's head, sighed, and muttered to herself,

"What a sin!"

Leaving this sentence, she sighed again, turned around and opened the door, leaving here.

An An looked at the steamed buns in her hand, returned to the seat she had just sat down, and started eating them voraciously.

It’s not that she is not hungry, she can’t bear to eat the steamed buns left by her grandmother. She is also very grateful to the steamed buns she sent, which makes her feel a little warmth in this strange place.

The next morning, before An An got up, Da Ya shouted,

"Xiaohong, get up and make a fire. I'm going to go out today and I have to have breakfast."

An An opened her sleepy eyes, raised her hand and rubbed it. Da Ya kicked her with her feet.

"Hurry up, the sun is still burning your butt, where are you sleeping? You are the sleeping ghost who is reborn."

Although Da Ya's words were ugly, An An dared not refute. She understood that she was weak and could not annoy these strangers.

She hurriedly picked up the firewood and put it into the stove pit in front of her.

But she had never done these jobs before, and she had worked hard for a long time to ignite the firewood, which made Da Ya feel dissatisfied.

She pushed An An out, cursed, and lay on the stove to cause fire.

"What a silly person. Do you think you are a daughter-in-law? Even a fire cannot be good. I will go out today and will come back in three days. In these three days, you will make a fire at home and cook. If you are hungry, you will be nice."

An An kneaded her hands together, and her teeth bit her lips tightly.

At this time, she hated Leng Xi, her so-called fifth uncle.

Why is he so cruel? He wants to throw himself to such a mean family?

When she has the opportunity to return to the capital, she must settle the accounts with him. Even if she is young now, she will settle the accounts with him when she grows up.

"What are you looking at? Go and bring some firewood..."

Daya's insults broke An'an's thoughts. She hurriedly ran towards the pile of firewood with her short legs, picked up a little firewood and walked towards the firewood.

"What a waste. What's enough to use these firewood? Go and get it."

Daya's curses continued until the food was served. An An stood at the door of the woodshed, looking at the food on the table, and did not dare to go forward.

The man raised his hand to greet her,

"Xiaohong, come here to have a meal."

Da Ya hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and knocked him down.

"She is not hungry, you can eat quickly, you have to go out after eating."

Grandma's face sank a little, and she murmured dissatisfiedly:

"You are also a person with children, don't commit sins."

As she spoke, she picked up an empty bowl, served some food, brought it to An An, and said softly:

"Girl, eat it!"

An An looked at her grandmother gratefully, took the bowl timidly, sat at the door of the woodshed, and started eating in small bites.

Although Da Ya was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything else, but said to her grandma:

"We two go to the city later. You can watch out for this girl at home, don't let her get lost? Otherwise we can't get a job."

"Why are you going to the city again?"

The old lady's voice became sharp, and Da Ya smiled as if she was pleased:

"Well, my elder sister-in-law's grandson has been sick all the time. I was looking for something to buy her and send it."

"Where did you get the money?"

"You don't have to worry about this anymore, just focus on your home."

"snort!"

Grandma snorted coldly, "Run out all day without missing your job, and spend the little food from your sister-in-law's house and run to someone else's house. Can you be more careful? It's not easy for them."

Seeing that her mother misunderstood her, Da Ya hurriedly explained:

"Mom, this time it's different. We are not going to borrow rice and noodles. We really want to buy some food for the child this time. You know, my sister-in-law is in poor health and the child is dying again. She has helped us a lot before. We discussed yesterday and couldn't help anything else. Go and buy some food for the child to deliver it."

Hearing this, the man sitting next to her suddenly rolled his eyes and asked loudly:

"Didn't you say you gave them some money to treat your children? Why did you just give them some food? Why didn't you keep your word?"

"What are you shouting?"

Da Ya rolled her eyes at the man,

"I've already been kind to give them some food and I've also given some money. Do you think the money is blowing from the strong wind? Where does this family need money?"

"You can't keep your word? If I had known this, I wouldn't agree to the incident yesterday, but I wouldn't have been beaten to death. Since you regret it, I'll go back on my word. I'll go find that person now..."

Seeing that the man was about to get up, Da Ya was anxious. She hurriedly grabbed the man in anger.

"Okay, don't ruin my good deeds. At worst, you can lend them a tael of silver."

"One tael of silver?"

The man stretched out a finger and stared at her with a blushing face and a thick neck.

"You're giving the beggar? What's the price of one tael of silver? Over the years, you've used more than one tael of silver for their rice and flour. You can say it out loud."

Da Ya gritted her teeth hatefully, threw the chopsticks in her hand, and shouted in dissatisfaction:

"Two taels at most?"

"Five liang..."

"Two liang..."
