Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Author: Reed by the Water

Chapter 5

Mrs. Qin was stunned by Chu Ning. She really didn't expect her daughter to speak so rudely.

"Yes, but this water is for your father to make tea. If you use more than half of it, isn't it enough?"

Chu Ning was so angry that she laughed, "If it's not enough, just burn it again."

As she spoke, she babbled to the water tank, "Well! There's still half a tank of water there. It's enough to boil a few pots."

Qin's reaction was quite quick at this moment, "You kid is so easy to talk about. You don't need firewood to boil water..."

Chu Ning gritted his teeth, "I'll say it again, I picked up the firewood."

She gets angry when she mentions this.

There was obviously firewood at home, and it was piled up like a hill in the backyard, enough to last a whole winter, but the old godly woman refused to use it, saying that the good firewood could only be used for burning the kang, and it would be wasted for cooking. It was simply a weird theory.

What's even more bizarre is that she ordered the three of them to go up the mountain every day to collect firewood to provide the daily needs of the whole family.

Chu Shouli and Mrs. Qin knew clearly that the old Qianpo was trying to argue with each other, but they did not dare to refute, so they could only cowardly agree.

But Chu Shouli had to go to work in the town, and the Qin family also had endless housework to do, and Pandi and the others were still young, so the task of collecting firewood fell on the eldest daughter, Xiao Zhaodi.

The poor little girl has been carrying the burden of life on her thin shoulders since she was nine years old, supplying firewood for nearly thirty people.

Well, there are twenty-seven people in the Chu family's five-bedroom house plus the two elders, so it is not an exaggeration to say that nearly thirty people use firewood every day.

Moreover, the two black pigs raised at home also need hot food, and they eat a lot, three times a day, but they use a lot of firewood.

One can imagine how complex Xiao Zhaodi's tasks are.

The poor child ate less and did more. Not only did he work overloaded all day long, but he also had to bear the scolding from Mr. Chen, which forced the child into severe depression. If he hadn't been able to let go of his parents and several younger sisters,

, she had committed suicide a long time ago and left with the wind.

And she finally left.

Walked quietly.

Except for Chu Ning who came inexplicably, no one knew that the poor child had left this world.

However, her brain was in chaos at the time, so she didn't know much about Xiao Zhaodi's situation. It was only after hearing Pandi talk about it that she got a rough idea.

It is said that Xiao Zhaodi accidentally fell in the mountains that day and probably hit her head. She fainted on the spot. She didn’t know how long she lay on the cold ground before she woke up. Her whole body was frozen.

I returned home shivering and developed a high fever that night.

In the eyes of outsiders, she survived for three days and three nights without medication, but she didn't know that the person who woke up again was a big wronged person like herself.

Chu Ning gets angry just thinking about it.

If Chu Shouli and the Qin family had not been able to stand up, Xiao Zhaodi would not have lost her life in vain, and she would not have to come to this hellish place.

So don't ask her for firewood.

Get angry!

Mrs. Qin was angered by Chu Ning's attitude, "What's wrong with you kid? Mom, you can't even say your duty as a child..."

"What? As your daughter, do you deserve to suffer?"

"you!"

Mrs. Qin was shaking with anger, "What are you talking about?"

Chu Ning suddenly stood up and coldly snorted to Mr. Qin, "Human words!"

After saying that, she shook off the water drops on her hands, stepped forward to take the gourd ladle, opened the lid of the pot, and scooped out the hot water to drink.

Mrs. Qin was injured when she was born, and she couldn't sit properly during the confinement period, which caused the root cause of the disease. She has been in bad health. Mrs. Chen didn't give her money to buy medicine, so she could only suffer. Her health became worse and worse, and her voice became worse.

The bigger one has to breathe.

Now Chu Ning was so angry that she couldn't breathe. She patted her chest and sucked hard. After several times, she finally felt better.

Mrs. Qin was still frightened and didn't dare to get excited anymore, but she still kept her anger and refused to let Chu Ning go, "Mom is reluctant to use hot water, isn't it because you have been collecting less and less firewood recently, and you are keeping an eye on your mother...

…”

Seeing that she was out of breath, Chu Ning didn't want to talk to her anymore, but she continued to pester her, which directly made Chu Ning angry.

"It's really unlucky to be your child."

Mrs. Qin was so angry that she trembled again, "What nonsense are you kiddoing? Do you want to make mother angry to death?"

"Isn't it? In such horrible weather, men don't go into the mountains, but your children have to go up the mountains hungry to collect firewood. They were blown by the cold wind for most of the day and almost froze to death.

As a result, when you get home, as a mother, if you don't care at all, no matter whether she is thirsty, hungry, cold or tired, your indifference seems to be that she is not your child.

That's okay, I'm used to it anyway, so I didn't dare to expect anything.

But I just used a little hot water to wash my frozen hands and face, and you weren't happy... Heh, if you know, this is your own mother, but if you don't know, you think she has some deep grudge and wants to make fun of her.

He's dead."

Mrs. Qin's face turned purple after being squeezed by her, and she didn't know whether she was angry or embarrassed. Her chest was heaving violently, as if it would explode at any time.

Before Chu Ning could speak, Old Chen's sharp scolding suddenly came from outside, "You're from the third family! Where did you die?! You're a heartless thing. Who do you want to starve to death? It's already this hour and you don't do it."

Bring in the food!”

Mrs. Qin trembled her lips and responded with all her strength, "It's coming."

The person who was originally suffering from chest tightness and shortness of breath and was about to faint became a little more energetic with this shout. It must be that the suffocation was gone, and his sluggish body actually gained some strength.

She quickly packed up the food and hurriedly sent it to the upper room.

When passing by Chu Ning, he obviously quickened his pace.

Chu Ning was too lazy to care about her.

After the water stains on her face naturally evaporated, her skin became tight and very uncomfortable. She rubbed her face irritably, hoping to relieve the discomfort, and wait until her skin became more relaxed before going out.

Although this little face has been chapped for a long time, it can't be broken, can it?

"Second sister, where is mother? Going to have sex?"

Pandi ran in in a hurry, "Didn't Mom start preparing lunch a long time ago? Why did you wait until now to send it over?"

Chu Ning glanced at her, "Then you have to ask her."

Pandi was very dissatisfied with her attitude, but as a younger sister, it was difficult for her to teach her elder sister, and Chu Ning was now much weirder than before, so under normal circumstances, she would not provoke him if he could.

"..."

*

"Bang!"

The dilapidated courtyard door collapsed with a dull loud noise, kicking up a cloud of dust that almost blinded the man who strode in.

"Chu Shouxin! Get out of here!"

Pandi was startled by the noise outside, jumped to Chu Ning's side, and whispered in surprise, "It sounds like there are a lot of people coming, and I don't know what they are for, why are they so fierce.

"

There are indeed many people.

At this time, the courtyard of the Chu family was full of people. From visual inspection, there were at least thirty people, all of whom were strong and strong men. The faces of the black-faced kings were filled with evil aura. When they stood there, they looked murderous and even...

It's appalling.

Pandi, who was hiding in the kitchen and peeking out, clutched Chu Ning's arm tightly, using her strength to support her crumbling body, "It's so scary... Uncle Wu won't be in trouble for death, right?"

Chu Ning frowned and shouted, "Let go!"

The smelly girl is as skinny as a monkey. I didn't expect him to be so strong. I almost couldn't get a piece of meat out of her.

It hurt her so much.
