Chapter 76: Almost Starving
Lanzhi didn't hate Gu Erlang.
It's just that her ideal husband was not a farmer like Gu Erlang.
She wanted a gentle and elegant man, and they could live in harmony, under the moonlight, and love each other.
If the Marquis's Mansion had not fallen, her ideal would probably have been realized.
But now, she has become a slave, and those dreams have disappeared without a trace.
Lanzhi glanced at Chen, who didn't seem to notice this.
She was uneasy. She was just a slave bought by Gu Fei. Was she worthy of Gu Erlang?
She knew Xiao Fei wouldn't care about this, but didn't Xiao Fei's parents care?
Lanzhi's face dimmed. Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Bao'er shouting, "Mom, I don't want a wife. If I have a wife, she will steal my food!"
Everyone laughed even more happily.
Qian slapped him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
She turned her head and looked at the woman, "Forget it, forget it, my family doesn't have enough food, and we can't support more people."
The woman's eyes were filled with despair.
If Lian'er was sold for a bushel of rice, Lian'er would have a way to make a living, and she and her son could live a few more days.
If Lian'er couldn't be sold, the family couldn't survive.
The woman suddenly grabbed Lian'er's hair and started beating her, "You useless girl, you can't even exchange for a bushel of rice, what's the point of raising you! You might as well die early, and everyone will be clean when you die."
Lian'er sobbed and didn't dare to fight back.
The woman had no strength left after beating her for a few times, and sat on the ground crying.
The boy also cried, and the whole family cried together.
The woman fainted while crying. Lian'er and her brother grabbed her mother and shook her, "Mom, mom, wake up--"
The village chief's wife, Aunt Liu, sighed, stood up and walked to the woman, squatted down, stretched out her hand and pinched the woman's philtrum. The woman made a slight sound in her throat and woke up faintly.
Aunt Liu shook her head and stood up and went back, "This is hunger."
Lian'er suddenly kowtowed to everyone frantically, "Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, please give me a bite of food, save my mother, my mother will starve to death if she doesn't eat."
Gu Fei looked at her in a daze and saw that Lian'er's forehead was soon broken and bleeding.
Chen whispered, "Alas, this world! This girl is really filial, go get her two steamed buns."
Gu Fei stood up, hurriedly went to the mule cart to get two steamed buns made by her mother, walked to the woman, and stretched out her hand.
The woman saw the food, grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.
Suddenly he stopped, handed one of the steamed bread to his son, and broke the remaining one into two halves, one for himself and one for Lian'er.
Qian snorted coldly beside him, wanting to say something, but held back.
Lian'er held the half steamed bread in her hand and didn't eat it, she was in tears.
She suddenly stood up and walked to Gu Fei and knelt down, "Miss, you are kind-hearted, please buy me, I will be your maid in the future, I will be your slave, I will do anything for you."
"If you buy me, I can survive, my mother and brother can also survive, I beg you, I will only eat one steamed bread a day."
Gu Fei half opened her mouth, and smiled bitterly at Lian'er for a long time, "Stop kneeling, I am not a lady, I used to be a maid, and my family is not rich, I'm sorry, I really can't do it."
Chen sighed to Lian'er at the side, "My daughter, in this world, no one has extra food, you should eat quickly, eat to live one more day."
