Chapter 147 There's nothing in the field
She liked all the things they fed her before, so she'll definitely like these xiaolongbao too!
Pandi rubbed her hands vigorously on her clothes, picked up a piece of food, and instead of eating it herself, offered it to Daya's mouth, saying, "You eat first."
Daya didn't refuse, because that's how she always gave Pandi the first bite.
At first, Er Ya was a little angry, thinking that Pan Di was afraid they would poison her. But after her aunt explained, they understood.
I took a bite of the xiaolongbao from her hand, and it was just the right temperature, the aroma filling my mouth.
"Eat quickly, I'm not hungry, everything inside is yours."
She swallowed what was in her mouth and noticed that Pandi was still watching her, so she urged her to eat quickly.
Pandi smiled and imitated her, eating them one after another. They were so delicious that she cried.
In the end, not a single xiaolongbao was left, so Daya poured her a small half-bowl of plum juice to "cleanse the palate."
Pandi took the gift, her eyes bright, unlike the lifeless, gloomy, and dilapidated atmosphere of the old house. "You've all been so good to me."
Daya chuckled and gently patted her head. "Because your aunt said you're family. If you're not good to family, who else would you be good to?"
Just like my aunt said, that's how she sees it too.
In the old house, only Pandi is a good person; the others are all lazy, cunning, and greedy, and they're all a bit mentally ill.
It was truly tough on Pandi, a young girl, who had to do all the work in the old house! In her aunt's words, she was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to hang herself.
Pandi pursed her lips, looked at the lively scene not far away, and said, "I'll see if I can sneak out and help with some chores later."
Now that my cousin is mentally unstable, my grandmother has to watch over him every day, which is why she doesn't have as much time to keep an eye on him as before.
Her father doesn't care about her, and her mother is often nowhere to be seen. She should be able to sneak over after finishing her chores for the day.
Daya frowned and then sighed, "You don't need to do any work. Just sneak over here during lunchtime, eat your fill, and then go back."
Anyway, this wasn't the first time. Pandi used to deliver a bundle of firewood to them every day, so they had to keep doing it.
Later, her grandfather saw how pitifully thin she was and ordered her to stop delivering the goods, and that's when she finally stopped.
But she would occasionally bring over a few bird eggs to her mother, saying that they would nourish her if she ate them while she was pregnant with a little brother. Sometimes she would even grab a handful of wild vegetables.
The family doesn't lack these things now, but Pandi's sentiment is priceless; it shows that they both care about each other.
Upon hearing that all it wanted was food, Pandi pointed to the bundle of firewood on the ground and said, "Then take this firewood over there to cook; I don't want to take it home."
Whether she takes it home or not, she'll still get scolded. If she gets scolded, she'll still have to use firewood to cook for them, and even if she cooks, she won't get any money out of it.
It seems she might as well not have taken it home and left it for her second uncle's family to use for cooking.
Everyone must be busy building houses; they might not even have time to chop firewood.
Starting tomorrow, she can get up earlier and gather more firewood to bring over.
Da Ya was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly, "You'd better take it back! We have firewood at home. If you go back without anything, Old Zhou will definitely beat you to death."
Pandi shook her head; she didn't care at all!
She used to endure being beaten obediently, but later she realized that she wasn't without legs, so how could she not run away?
After figuring it out, whenever she saw Old Zhou with a weapon, she would run away as fast as she could, and whenever she sensed that Wu Hong was about to make a move, she would hide behind Wen Youcai, that big idiot.
She didn't believe she would dare to go over and hit her. If she accidentally hit Wen Youcai, Old Zhou would definitely not let her off.
"I don't want to. If she hits me, I'll hide behind Wen Youcai."
Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Da Ya couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Brilliant! Old Zhou treasures Wen Youcai so much, she'll have to think twice before making a move.
After all, her beloved grandson has already become mentally challenged, and if she accidentally hurts him again, he might not even be able to call out to anyone.
Pandi wiped her mouth clean, patted her bottom, and left. On the way, she saw Old Zhou carrying a basket on her back and walking towards the fields, so she found a place to hide.
When she got back and opened the courtyard gate, she saw Wen Youcai lying on the ground asleep like a dog, with a big puddle of drool on the ground. She frowned in disgust.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard a cacophony of snoring coming from both rooms, as if the two rooms were having a competition, with each snoring louder than the last.
How lazy! No wonder they only eat one meal a day!
If it weren't for her going out to dig up some wild vegetables and staying up late to embroider handkerchiefs to earn a few coins, these lazybones would probably have starved to death long ago!
My aunt is right. It's not that she can't leave this family, it's that she doesn't need this family!
They're just leeching off her, a little baby, how shameless! How could she have such a family?
An idea suddenly came to her mind, and she went into her small woodshed to start packing up her belongings, big and small.
Old Mrs. Zhou walked through all the plots of land in her yard and almost died of anger in the fields.
Just as Wu Hong had said, every plot of land was devoid of even a single wild vegetable, let alone any taro planted there.
Thinking of Qian Zhaodi, who had not yet returned home, she was furious!
It must be that fatso who came to the fields and slacked off, not doing any work at all! Otherwise, how could her fields be in such a terrible state? There won't be any harvest this year!
When she returns and gets the money, she can only buy a cheap wife for her beloved grandson. It seems the rest of the money will have to be used to buy grain.
Are we going to starve to death in winter?! No way!
She glanced at the lush green potato leaves in Old Zhao's field next door and had an idea.
These plants have been planted for so long, they should have sprouted by now, right? If she digs up a few and replants them, it shouldn't be noticeable, right?
Seeing that no one was around, she squatted down in the ground, took out a hoe, and secretly started digging.
When she dug up the first tree, she saw that there were only four tiny ones and curled her lips in disdain, then continued to dig up the others.
After digging up several more, they grew quite large, and Old Zhou happily filled a small half-basket before stopping.
After tidying up the dug land, she turned around, pulled up a few handfuls of weeds in her own field, covered the potatoes in her basket, and then went home with a happy expression.
Why buy grain?! Everyone in the village plants potatoes around the same time. Old Zhao's potatoes are already this big, so the others must be doing just as well!
She told her two sons and daughters-in-law to come and dig some food from each household at night, so that they would have enough food for the winter.
Didn't Wen Lao Er say that this stuff won't spoil even after several months?
She carefully saved the money left over after buying her granddaughter-in-law's house, planning to buy her great-grandson fatty meat to eat when he was born!
The thought of carrying an empty basket home made Wu Hong unhappy again.
The surrounding land is all planted with potatoes, and this idiot didn't even bother to secretly dig some up and take them home! He's such a freeloader, eating our food for free, he's incredibly stupid!
Wu Hong, who was at Lai Zi's house, sneezed several times. Lai Zi touched her hand and grinned lewdly, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
