Mrs. Xiao finally had a full meal and had a good sleep.
Unexpectedly, the door to the room was kicked open by an angry Zhang Guifen early in the morning!
Before Mrs. Xiao could react, Zhang Guifen rushed directly to the bed, slapped her hard on the face, and cursed angrily: "You damn old woman, even the incense burner that I use to offer incense to the Bodhisattva is not even worth it."
If you dare to steal rice, are you still a human being?"
Mrs. Xiao was so dizzy from the slap that she saw Zhang Guifen's face so close that she was filled with anger. She was frightened out of her wits and begged, "Guifen, I'm sorry, Guifen! I don't want to be secretly there either."
It's your stuff, but I'm just too hungry..."
Zhang Guifen was so angry that she gritted her teeth and yelled: "It's your problem that you are hungry, what does it have to do with me? I used the incense burner to offer incense to the Bodhisattva. You stole the rice in it. That is a great disrespect to the Bodhisattva! What if the Bodhisattva
If you are punished, you will implicate me!"
Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but choked up: "Guifen... you're celebrating the New Year... you can't just watch me, an old woman, starve to death in this house, right? You said that if I really starved to death in this house,
How can you live here in the future? If you lie in the bedroom upstairs every night, just thinking about me starving to death in your room downstairs, won't you feel better?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Xiao said with tears in her eyes: "Guifen... just think of it as saving my life. Didn't the Bodhisattva say? Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This can be regarded as accumulating merit."
ah!"
Although Zhang Guifen's expression softened a little, she still shouted coldly: "For the sake of Bodhisattva, I can forgive you for stealing rice, but you must save yourself and pay a certain price!"
Mrs. Xiao asked hurriedly: "Guifen, what price do you want me to pay?"
Zhang Guifen said coldly: "You will wash the clothes for the three of us honestly for a day today, and I will pretend that this never happened!"
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she immediately begged: "Guifen, I was not feeling well yesterday and couldn't go to the supermarket to work, so I stole your rice. Today I have to go to work no matter what, otherwise our family
The food rations for the four families today are out of stock again..."
"Then I don't care!" Zhang Guifen said angrily: "Either you wash our clothes, or you give me back the rice that I ate, and I won't blackmail you. You will give me back as much as you eat, and give me the incense burner again."
I’ll just fill it up!”
Old Mrs. Xiao said with a sad face: "Guifen, I have cooked all the rice, what should I give you back now? How about this? You asked me to go to the supermarket to work today, and I took the money after get off work. Do you think I’ll buy rice and return it to you right away?”
"No!" Zhang Guifen said without giving in: "If you choose to return the rice to me, then do it now, otherwise, just go and wash the clothes!"
After that, Zhang Guifen threatened again: "If you don't drink the toast, you will be fined, then don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Mrs. Xiao saw Zhang Guifen's ferocious expression and knew that this woman was definitely not joking with her.
Now that I am alone and weak, how can I be her opponent?
So, Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to nod with tears in her eyes and choked with sobs: "Okay...I'll wash...I'll go and wash right away..."
On this New Year's Day, Mrs. Xiao's family of four did not eat enough rice.
Zhang Guifen and the others threw a lot of dirty clothes and sheets and quilts to Mrs. Xiao and asked her to wash everything today.
So the old lady has no time to go out and make money.
As for Xiao Weiwei, she had to take care of Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong and his son who were injured and bedridden, so she couldn't get away at all.
Since no one is making money, there is naturally no food to go to the pot, so the family can only go hungry.
Ever since Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong kidnapped Ma Lan and kidnapped Ye Changmin by mistake, all four members of the Xiao family have lost a lot of weight and their lives have been miserable.
Ye Chen's family next door packed up their things at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year and drove to the hot spring villa that Chen Zekai gave to Ye Chen. The family planned to stay in the hot spring villa for two days to relax.
The night after arriving at the hot spring villa, Ye Changmin sat in a dilapidated rental house, looking at a takeaway dumpling with a look of boredom on his face.
Ever since Ye Chen detained her in Jinling, Ye Changmin has been relying on takeaways to survive.
And the hateful thing is that Ye Chen does not allow her to order takeout by herself. All takeaways are ordered directly by Hong Wu's confidants, and the price of each meal basically does not exceed thirty yuan.
In the past few days, Ye Changmin was forced to taste a lot of popular delicacies that she had never tasted in her life.
For example, Braised Chicken Rice, Green Pepper Shredded Pork Rice, Kung Pao Chicken Rice, Lanzhou Ramen, Northeastern Potato Noodles, Donkey Meat Grilled and so on.
In the eyes of the Ye family, these ordinary popular delicacies are simply garbage among the garbage. Not to mention eating them, even taking a bite will make them feel sick.
But now, Ye Changmin, who had always been aloof, could only feed on this every day.
Yesterday was New Year's Eve and she couldn't order takeout, so Hong Wu's people gave her two boxes of instant noodles, a bag of ham and two braised eggs.
Seeing that Ye Changmin was eating this kind of garbage on New Year's Eve, she was naturally so angry that she lost half of her life, and even said that if she couldn't eat dumplings on New Year's Day, she would commit suicide on the spot.
So, Hong Wu's people sent her a dumpling made by themselves.
The dumplings are made of pork and sauerkraut. Because Hong Wu’s whole family is from the Northeast, he loves this flavor of dumpling filling.
But since childhood, Ye Changmin has eaten only delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the Ye family’s dumplings have never included pork.
The most commonly eaten dumplings in the Ye family are made from a mixture of shrimp meat from top-notch lobsters and fish meat from wild large yellow croaker, minced into minced meat by hand, and then supplemented with minced meat from shark fin and abalone. The cost of one dumpling is probably higher than the cost of eating dumplings for an average person for a year.
As for sauerkraut, Ye Changmin has never had a bite of it since he was a child.
For a young lady like her who grew up in a top family, pickled food like sauerkraut is a taboo that they will never touch. Almost any food that requires pickling and fermentation is equivalent to poison in her eyes.
So, she just took a bite of the pork and sauerkraut dumplings, spit it out immediately, and then rinsed her mouth several times before finally getting rid of the smell of sauerkraut.
Ye Changmin opened the door angrily and asked Hong Wu's younger brother: "What kind of bullshit dumplings are you bringing? Is this something for people to eat?!"
When the man heard this, he immediately became angry. He spoke with a Northeastern accent and angrily said: "You stinky bitch, why the hell are you talking? My mother made these dumplings by hand. I'm kind enough to get some for you."
, you’re still fucking talking like that? Do you deserve to be beaten?!”
