Chapter 277 The Cold-Hearted Brother——Chu Yue Niang 4
"What do you want to do?" Xihe did not answer, but asked her instead.
"Let's go home and prepare some pancakes! Once they're ready, we can hide some first. We can keep them for the two of us to eat when we escape famine." Chu Liucui whispered in Xihe's ear.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Hearing her words, Xihe nodded at her.
Yes, you are thinking about yourself now, which is a good thing.
After returning home, Xihe used a hammer to smash open the house where Mrs. Chu and her family lived.
Because the refined rice and flour in the house were locked in their room, they wanted to save them for Chu Mingzhi to eat.
After the lock was broken open, Chu Liucui hurried in and opened the cabinet in the room.
"Don't come in, or they will blame you." When Xihe was about to enter the house, Chu Liucui hurriedly spoke to stop her.
"I want to share the responsibility with you." Xihe still quite likes this girl. Even though she is scared to death, she still wants to protect another person.
"No need, Yue Niang, I am your aunt and I want to protect you." Chu Liucui quickly walked to the door carrying half a bag of flour and looked at Xihe seriously.
"Okay, you protect me." Xihe smiled and reached out to take the bag from her back.
"Master, she's still a little cutie!"
“A lot of girls are cute.”
"Yes, many girls are very cute." Feng Qi also agreed with a smile.
Chu Liucui poured the white flour into the basin and started to knead the dough to make pancakes.
……
Chu Tianquan hurriedly returned home carrying Chu Mingzhi on his back, hitched up the donkey cart and hurried towards the county town.
Arriving in the county town, they found a clinic. The old doctor looked at the patient, stroked his beard, and said, "The bones in the hand are broken, and the wound on the face is also very serious. It may leave a scar."
"Doctor, my son is a scholar, and he cannot be left with scars." Chu Tian's heart sank when he heard the doctor's words.
"Okay, I'll do my best." Hearing that Chu Mingzhi was still a scholar, the old doctor nodded to show his understanding.
The doctor called his apprentice to clean Chu Mingzhi's wound and prescribed some medicine.
The old doctor then looked at Chu Tianquan and said, "You must take good care of him, otherwise not only will scars appear on his face, but he might also develop diseases on his arms..."
"Thank you, doctor. I'll remember that." Chu Tianquan took the medicine and thanked the doctor again before carrying Chu Mingzhi back to his donkey cart.
The father and son looked at Chu Mingzhi, who had just fallen asleep, with distressed faces, and didn't understand why he rolled down the mountain.
Tian Ying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law failed to catch up with Chu Tianquan and his son. They sat at the entrance of the village and cried, looking at the road outside the village.
It was not until dusk that they finally heard the sound of bells. Upon hearing the familiar voice, they immediately went to greet it.
"Dad, how is Zhier?" Mrs. Chu asked anxiously.
"Let's talk about it when we get home." Old man Chu had a gloomy face and walked hurriedly towards home.
Tian Ying touched her son's face, helped push the cart, and hurried home.
As we passed by each house along the way, we could hear the noise coming from their houses.
Old Man Chu knew that everyone was busy packing their luggage and preparing to flee the famine.
Thinking of his grandson, his already heavy mood became even heavier.
Now Zhier is seriously injured and they can't go with him. What will happen to their family when the time comes?
If I follow him, Zhier won't be able to stand the bumps.
While he was lost in thought, he heard Chu Liucui's voice: "Dad and Mom, you're back?"
"Yeah." When seeing his daughter, Old Man Chu's face did not look happy at all.
They carefully carried Chu Mingzhi into the house. Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Mingzhi's pale face and felt heartbroken. Then she left the house.
When she saw the white flour on the chopping board, she immediately became angry and walked out of the kitchen with the rolling pin in hand: "Which of you two did it? Tell me, who did it?"
"I did it." Xihe spoke first before Chu Liucui could speak.
"It wasn't her, it was me. I thought everyone was about to leave, so I broke the door open and made some pancakes to enjoy when the time comes..."
"Eat, I told you to eat, you greedy girl, why don't I eat you to death..."
Hearing what Chu Liucui said, Mrs. Chu raised the rolling pin in her hand and hit Chu Liucui on the back.
Although Chu Liucui was afraid, she still stood in front of Xihe without moving. When she closed her eyes, Xihe pulled her away.
Xihe snatched the rolling pin from her hand and said coldly, "If you're angry, go bang your head against the wall. We haven't offended you."
"You stupid girl, you actually talked back to me, I'll beat you to death..."
"Let's give it a try and see who kills whom first." Xihe held the rolling pin tightly with both hands and applied a little force, and it broke into two pieces.
"You...you are not Chu Yue Niang, who are you?" Seeing Xihe's actions, Mrs. Chu was frightened and screamed.
"I'm not Chu Yue Niang, are you Chu Yue Niang?" Xihe threw away the rolling pin in his hand and asked coldly.
"Chu Yue Niang doesn't have as much strength as you."
"Yes, but you thought she was a maid before, so I was too lazy to tell you." Xihe made up the story seriously.
"You..." After hearing Xihe's words, Mrs. Chu became even angrier. If only she had told her earlier.
If she is so strong, why should she work so hard to carry the wheat?
Okay! Feeling what she was thinking, Xihe was speechless.
"Then why don't you tell mother? We are mother and daughter." Tian Ying also heard Xihe's words, came to her side and looked at her sadly.
"No, I never thought of you as my mother."
"You, you unfilial daughter, do you want to piss me off to death?" Tian Ying pointed at Xihe, tears immediately streaming down her face.
"If you think so, there's nothing I can do."
All right! Feng Qi burst out laughing when these heartbreaking words came out of Xihe's mouth.
"Enough, why are you still making a fuss? Don't you understand the urgency of the matter?" Old Man Chu was already upset, and he became even more annoyed after hearing what they said.
"Zhi'er has suffered so much, and you didn't know how to prepare something delicious for him first. Instead, you scolded them both."
"They have wasted all the flour in the house." Mrs. Chu patted her chest and yelled at Xihe and the other man.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Old Man Chu immediately looked at the two of them and asked coldly, "What did you do with the flour at home?"
"We didn't do anything. We just made pancakes out of the flour. We thought everyone else was preparing something, and we didn't know what they were doing, so we followed suit. Is that something we did wrong?"
"It's not a big deal." Old Man Chu was not angry, but looked at Mrs. Chu beside him: "If you don't have white flour, can't you make porridge with refined rice?"
