Chapter 99: Run Away

Gu Zhong's face froze. He and Zhang Lao Da were on guard yesterday. He couldn't hold on any longer and dozed off for a while. Could it be that someone stole his food at that time?

But there was also Zhang Lao Da?

Zhang Lao Da was also guilty. He was sleepy and didn't know when he fell asleep.

But this thief was also strange. Why didn't he steal from other families but Gu Zhong's?

Zhang Lao Da suddenly asked, "Where is the girl you bought?"

Qian looked around suddenly and shouted, "Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong, where did you go, you dead girl?"

There was no trace of Xiao Hong, and even the bedding roll that was used for Xiao Hong was gone.

Qian understood, slapped her thigh and sat on the ground and howled: "Shameless girl, you eat my food and use my things, and you steal my food and quilt, you bastard, chop your head into eight pieces, you will not die well!"

No one sympathized with Qian. Gu Fei saw that Shanzi's mother still had a mocking smile on her face, and Aunt Liu rolled her eyes in disdain.

Chen winked at Li Chunhua, "What did I say? That girl is not a simple one."

Li Chunhua quickly flattered her mother-in-law, "You are really a wise man."

Chen smiled, "Hurry up and make breakfast so that we can go to the city after eating."

"We have to buy a few pairs of shoes. Shoes are worn out by walking every day. I can't make them in a hurry. I think Dalang and Sanlang's shoes are broken."

Gu Zhang took advantage of the fact that everyone was cooking at this time, walked to Gu Rong, and secretly gave him two taels of silver.

Gu Rong wanted to cry while holding the silver, and quickly showed it to Li secretly, "The silver given by my second brother, we have money to go into the city."

Li nodded, "I will pay it back to my second brother slowly in the future."

While eating breakfast here, the disaster victims around suddenly moved and rushed to the city gate like a tide.

Someone shouted, "Porridge is being distributed, take a bowl quickly!"

Qian Shi hurriedly called Xing'er, "You take a basin and follow them."

Zhang Lao Da was also somewhat tempted, stood up and looked, and waved to his wife, "Forget it, there are so many people queuing, I don't know how long it will take."

Xing'er bit her lip, "I won't go, they won't go, why do they ask me to go?"

She was afraid that if she queued up to get porridge, her mother and father would take Bao'er into the city and abandon her.

She felt that her mother could do it.

Qian slapped her hard on the back of her head, "Are you going or not? If you don't go, there will be no lunch!"

Xing'er turned and ran away, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat!"

After finishing breakfast at Gu Fei's house, they quickly packed up and went into the city.

There was no need to wait for anyone at this time, since they had agreed to meet at the East City Gate at noon.

Uncle Ma had left without knowing when.

Gu Fei's family, uncle's family, and aunt's family drove to the city gate together.

The line for porridge was very long.

There were soldiers patrolling with swords to maintain order.

When Gu Fei passed by, she took a look at the big pot for porridge. It was millet porridge, the fire was still burning underneath, and the porridge looked thick enough.

The court usually had regulations when providing disaster relief, that the porridge should be thick enough to insert chopsticks.

This was not disaster relief provided by the court, but by a wealthy family, so it was not bad to do so.

It is estimated that these disaster victims survived on a bowl of porridge a day, but I don't know how long this porridge can be provided.

They lined up at the city gate to pay. Gu Zhang counted the number of people and paid three taels of silver before the family could enter the city.
