Chapter 61: Get Started

Gu Fei took out a small stool from the car for the old lady to sit on, and Chen quickly picked up some food for her.

The old lady held the bowl and hesitated, "Or, I'll bring all my rations here?"

Chen smiled heartily, "Oh, mother, please stop talking about this. These are all bought with the money Xiao Fei gave you. You are her grandmother, shouldn't you eat her food?"

The old lady understood the meaning of the words. She said Gu Fei was an ungrateful person and unfilial a few days ago. Chen was reminding her that she was now supported by Gu Fei.

The old lady sighed. She was old, unable to work, and had no money in her hands. She had to rely on her children for support, but no one was willing to listen to her.

She usually liked to talk about filial piety, which was nothing more than controlling the younger generation.

But Xiao Fei, this girl, obviously couldn't control her.

Oh, forget it, forget it, having food is better than anything else.

While eating, Gu Fei suddenly said, "Dad, should we buy another mule cart? It's not enough for everyone to take turns to rest. I think my aunt will collapse in two days."

Li has always been in poor health. Before giving birth to Huzi, she lost a fully formed baby boy. After a few years, she struggled to give birth to Huzi, and her health became worse.

Gu Rong was right next to her. He held the bowl and wanted to say something, but couldn't. He just looked at Gu Fei with gratitude.

Li lowered her head and secretly wiped away her tears.

Gu Zhang nodded, "Then buy another one, but who will drive it?"

Now the men in the family and my uncle-in-law take turns driving. Sitting in this car for a whole day will make people feel shaken. It's more comfortable to get off and walk.

The eldest uncle came over with a bowl in his hand, "My eldest grandson can drive, and my wife and two daughters-in-law can too. We use mules to carry things in and out of the mountains. Once we get used to it, we can take turns."

Gu Zhang smiled, "That's good. Let's buy another mule cart when we get to the market town tomorrow."

Uncle Ma ate rice soaked in meat soup and nodded, "Tomorrow we will pass Fuyuan Town on the way. It's a big town, so there must be mule carts."

At this time, Bao'er from the Qian family ran over with a white flour bun. When he saw the small bowl of smoked rabbit meat on the wooden board, he reached out and grabbed it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chen frowned, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

Gu Fei looked at Bao'er's hands, which were black. She glared at Bao'er and said, "Bao'er, what do you want to eat? Just tell me and I'll get it for you. Your hands are dirty. If the food gets dirty, will others eat it?"

Bao'er didn't care about her. While chewing, he reached into the bowl and grabbed a handful of food and ran away quickly.

Gu Fei was so angry that she had only eaten one piece and there was only the bottom of the bowl left.

Gu Rong saw it clearly from the side, turned to Qian and said, "Don't you eat white flour at home? Why are you willing to give it to Bao'er but not to mother?"

Qian held a bowl of black grain porridge in her hand and snorted, "Bao'er is in poor health and needs to be taken care of. I want to feed him, is it your business?"

Chen couldn't help it at this time, "Sister-in-law, take care of your Bao'er, each family eats their own food, my family only ordered this much food, Bao'er grabbed it all when he came, are we going to eat it?"

Qian said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Bao'er is a child, how much can he eat? Besides, Bao'er is also your nephew, what's wrong with his nephew eating your food? It's worth saying, I've never seen you so stingy."

Chen's chest rose and fell with anger, Gu Zhang frowned, "Forget it, eat."
