Chapter 89 The Lion Opens His Mouth

That evening, they stopped in the wild again.

As they got closer to Xishan County, the number of disaster victims increased. The barks of the trees on both sides of the official road were all peeled off, which was frightening.

Fortunately, there was a small river not far from the place that Uncle Ma was looking for, so there was no shortage of water.

Each family hurried to build a stove and cook.

Chen saw that there was water, so she boiled a large pot of water to cook dumplings.

She didn't dare to cook the pork stuffing, so she asked Gu Fei to secretly take the wild vegetable stuffing dumplings and cook two large pots.

Chen sent Gu Fei and several brothers to deliver a few to each family.

The dumplings sent to Qian were naturally for Baoer alone. Qian cooked some grain paste, scraped the bottom of the pot clean, and divided it into three bowls, one for Gu Zhong, and one for herself and Xing'er.

Lian'er fetched water and made fire, and didn't share anything.

Lian'er stood there in a daze for a long time, then suddenly walked up to Qian and shouted, "Madam, why is there no dinner for me?"

Qian didn't expect that this girl would dare to ask her for dinner. She raised her eyebrows, picked up a fire stick, and hit her on the head, "You dare to talk about dinner? What have you done all day? Do you deserve to eat?"

Gu Fei was angry watching from the side. Just as she was about to say something, Chen held her back and whispered, "I told you not to bother her. Qian's wife is up to something bad. She just wants you to see it. If you give Lian'er a bite to eat, she won't have to support her."

She said, "You wishful thinking. She uses her own people, and my family supports her!"

Gu Fei thought about it and thought that this might be the case.

It's just that this person can't escape the word love.

Although Gu Fei felt sorry for Lian'er at first, it was just a kind gesture to strangers.

After spending a few days together, and watching Lian'er go through such a tragic thing, Lian'er is no longer an irrelevant person, and it is not easy to pretend that she didn't see it.

Gu Fei was eating dumplings, thinking about her mother's words, and saw Qian was still hitting Lian'er with a fire stick. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she gritted her teeth, got up with the bowl, walked to Qian's side, and said coldly: "Aunt, don't beat her, since you don't like Lian'er, why don't you sell her to me, I'll give you a bucket of cornmeal."

Lian'er's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she looked at Qian with expectation in her eyes.

Qian looked at Gu Fei twice, and suddenly laughed. Gu Fei, this girl, is really a fool. Is she watching her beat Lian'er and can't stand it?

Qian stood up, "Xiao Fei, there is no such a cheap thing in the world. If you want to buy Lian'er, it's not impossible. Give me ten buckets of corn flour and I will give you Lian'er. Otherwise, five buckets of white flour will do."

Chen came over quickly and said, "Sister-in-law, I think you are crazy!"

She pulled Gu Fei, "Let's go, ignore her. She can sell ten buckets of corn flour to anyone she wants. Anyway, my family won't buy it."

Gu Fei looked back at Lian'er, who shook her head at her, indicating that she didn't need to care about her.

After walking a few steps, Gu Fei suddenly heard Bao'er crying, "Mom, she stole my dumplings!"

Gu Fei looked back and saw Lian'er holding a dumpling in her hand, her mouth was full, and she was chewing desperately.

Qian screamed, "You are rebellious, you little girl!" She ran towards Lian'er with a fire stick.

Lian'er saw her coming and quickly circled left and right in the crowd and ran away.

It was already dark at this time, and there was no other light except the cooking fires in every household. Lian'er ran into the darkness, and Qian didn't dare to chase her, so she could only turn back cursing.
