Chapter 124: Eating From the Inside Out

After walking for another hour, they were a distance away from Qinglong Gorge, so Uncle Ma told everyone to rest.

As usual, they first picked up firewood and lit a circle around, then surrounded the mule carts in a circle, and lit a pile of fire in the middle, and everyone rested in the middle.

The fire was lit, illuminating the surroundings.

Gu Fei then saw the miserable situation of everyone.

Gu Jinsheng from the village head's family dragged a leg and limped.

Uncle Gu Zhong had an arm hanging in front of his chest.

The shoulder of the uncle was covered with blood.

Each one seemed to be a defeated general returning from the battlefield.

Chen had just put up the pot when Qian suddenly came over and said in a loud voice: "Sister-in-law, my family's food has been robbed, can you lend me some."

Chen's hand froze, here it comes, the thing she was worried about all the way finally came.

It would be unreasonable not to lend it, this is Gu Zhang's brother and sister-in-law.

Needless to say, there is no way to repay it if you borrow it.

Aunt Liu looked at this side and hesitated to speak, then thought about it and decided to forget it. It was not appropriate for her, an outsider, to interfere in the affairs of the two brothers.

The old lady hurriedly said to Chen: "Why are you still standing there? I see there are two bags of flour in the car, just give one bag to the old family."

What is eating from the inside out!

The old lady is a typical example!

She eats her family's food and gives her family's food to others!

She didn't say she would give her coarse grains, but flour!

Gu Fei opened her mouth several times and swallowed the words back into her stomach.

These are Gu Zhang's brother and sister-in-law, and it is not easy for others to speak.

Gu Zhang said in a deep voice: "I don't have much food at home. Everyone knows that Master Su and the others are eating at my house. I have to keep this flour for them."

"It's okay if my sister-in-law wants to borrow it. There is still half a bag of millet, which is enough for your family to eat until Huainan County."

"Chen, give it to her."

Qian was unhappy when she heard this. She obviously had flour, but she gave her millet. What's the meaning? You should know that flour is a fine grain and millet is a coarse grain. Flour is generally three times the price of millet.

She didn't plan to pay it back after borrowing it, so naturally she wanted flour. She couldn't help but mutter, "Can the three of them eat so much flour?"

Gu Fei finally couldn't help it. She wanted flour even though she got it for free!

She said quietly, "Aunt, you haven't told me when you will return the grain you borrowed."

"My family will lend you one or two taels of silver, and we will return it to you in an hour."

When Qian heard what Gu Fei said, she said, "You dead girl, you have no right to interrupt when adults are talking--"

After saying this, Qian suddenly remembered that Gu Fei killed people, beat wolves, and killed who knows how many bandits he killed today. Her cheeks twitched a few times, and she hurriedly said, "Xiao Fei, Aunt didn't mean that, it's just, it's--"

Gu Fei Looking at her coldly, "Food is so precious now, it is life-saving. You must have seen how many people died on the way to grab food."

"It's easy for you to say, auntie. Borrow..."

Lian'er plucked up the courage to respond, "That's right, don't you have money? Shanzi's family ran out of food a few days ago, but they bought it with silver."

The two of them sang in unison, making Qian's face flushed. She stared at Lian'er. A bought girl dared to talk back to her!

The old lady was anxious at this time and scolded Lian'er, "Shut up, you have no right to speak!"

She turned her head and looked at Chen again, "Didn't you hear what the second son said? Go and get it!"

Chen silently took out half a bag of millet from the mule cart, put it on the ground, and went to cook.
