Chapter 629: 2.065 Poker Poker
The porridge with two vegetable leaves floating in the small pot boiled.
Pairs of eyes were fixed on each other, and when Grandma Niu brought the small pot down from the firewood stand, Wei Dalang, his wife and their son couldn't wait to go up and scoop it up.
When it was the turn of Qiao Zhongheng's family of three, there was really only one mouthful of soup left, and I didn't know whose stomach could be filled.
The couple had no choice but to give it to their precious son to eat.
"Mom, I'm starving to death." Qiao Long took a sip of the soup, feeling more and more hungry.
Touching his hungry belly, Qiao Long remembered the several kinds of pastries that were put on the table when he broke into the Hou's mansion. He regretted not rushing up to fill his stomach with a few before arguing with them.
"Hey, when your father finds a job in the nursing home, he will have something to eat." If he continued to starve, he would almost die, and it seemed that he would have to eat dirt first.
Mrs. Qiao was lying on the ground with some withered grass and moaning.
Xu Jiao glanced at her, almost out of anger.
This damn old woman is really a precious life. In the past few days, she has been sent here and there all day long, and she has to wait on her all day long. She is simply an old waste!
One must know that the old lady had enjoyed the blessings for several years, how could she endure this kind of suffering? On the first night in the ruined temple, she coughed because of the wind and the cold.
The illness hasn't recovered in the past two days, and Xu Jiao has been annoyed by talking about going back to the Hou Mansion in a daze.
She lay down and fell asleep, and Xu Jiao had to wait on her to piss, but Xu Jiao was disgusted, but they left her alone, and if she pissed on her body, they would still be the ones who stink.
Xu Jiao thought of a good idea. Anyway, there is not enough food, so she won't be given water to eat. If she eats less, it won't be so troublesome.
So the old lady drank two sips of thin soup in the past few days, and she was already sick and a little delirious.
"Your mother-in-law won't die of illness, right?" Grandma Niu disdained Wang's mannerisms very much, don't pretend to be an old lady of your family if you don't have that precious life.
They came from a similar village. That day, Grandma Niu saw that Wang was wearing gold and silver, was well-raised, and looked white and fat, and she felt aggrieved in her heart.
However, after the wind and rain for the past three days, Mrs. Wang has lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot. She looks a bit like an old lady in the countryside.
Xu Jiao took out all the valuables on her body, including the fur coat to keep out the cold, and sold them for food.
It was precisely because of the lack of a cotton-padded jacket to keep out the cold that the old lady's delicate body was blown down by the cold wind the first day.
"How can it be, Aunt Niu, don't worry, I will find someone to go to the Hou's Mansion to cry again, and I will say that the old lady of the Hou's Mansion is about to die of starvation and illness in the ruined temple. Let's see what my uncle will do, dare not come to pick up his old lady Go back. So that... Aunt Niu, I have to ask you to lend me a ration."
The old lady clutched the food bag tightly, and looked at Xu Jiao warily, "I gave you a lot in the past two days, and they said they went out to ask someone to cry in front of the Hou's mansion, but there has been no news until now. I see that your Uncle, it's probably a black heart. If you weren't black hearted, how could you drive your old lady out of the mansion, and your wife won't come to pick you up. "
"Hey, Aunt Niu, that's the wrong person I entrusted to me before. This time, I promise to entrust an honest person to my uncle and cry for a day."
Granny Niu was dubious, she grabbed a handful of millet between her fingers and reluctantly put it into Xu Jiao's open pouch.
