Chapter 007: If you think it’s dirty, then just starve

"Pah!"

All three pancakes fell to the ground, and Li Yuan was immediately furious. If he had not just been beaten by Ling Yunhe, he would have rushed over and kicked Li Mumu.

Li Mumu chuckled. What was a cake? Her space was full of food, including abalone and sea cucumber that she had looted from the Li family's kitchen yesterday, and even freshly cooked beef.

"Li Mumu, you are really... stupid."

Li Mumu looked at her scumbag father with distorted angry features. He must feel that giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork would be worse than giving birth to her, right?

"Dad, Mumu didn't mean it." Li Yunye said.

"Shut up!" Li Yuan's temper towards Li Mumu was like hitting cotton, which made him so angry that he took his anger out on his son.

Li Mumu took the cake and gave it to Old Lady Li first. He looked disgusted and said, "I won't eat it. It will be dirty if it falls on the ground."

Li Mumu gave it to Lin Siyan again. She also frowned when she saw the sand stuck on the pancake. "I'm not hungry. You can eat it yourself."

As for Li Yunzhe, he also clamored to eat all the cakes.

They must have been disgusted, and soon they had no food to eat even the dirty bread that fell on the ground.

"Go ask your mother to get some clean cakes." Li Yuan said, glaring at Li Mumu fiercely, "Don't let them fall on the ground."

Li Mumu walked away with a smile. Since she was not wearing shackles, she ran very fast.

When she returned to the Gu family's team, Mrs. Gu was indeed asking her daughter to take more food back. After all, they were a family and supported each other along the way.

My grandmother is a very good person, but she doesn’t know that the Li family doesn’t consider them as family. When they encounter a pack of wolves, they are the first ones to be pushed out.

Her kind grandmother was eaten by a wolf, leaving not even a complete body.

Li Mumu took a deep breath. When she heard her grandmother was going to split the food in half, she couldn't help but say, "Dad said it's dirty, I won't eat it."

That's right, he said that.

Madam Gu frowned, "Dirty?"

Li Mumu saw the old man's face full of anger, and secretly rejoiced. He continued, "Dad said it's dirty, don't eat it, he wants to eat clean food."

Because in everyone's eyes, Li Mumu is still a silly girl who can't lie, so how could she have any ulterior motives? Naturally, it was Li Yuan who said this.

Madam Gu was so angry that she gasped for breath. "He still has the nerve to say that our things are dirty. If it weren't for him, why would we be in this situation?"

"Okay, mother, don't be angry. Brother-in-law was just saying that in anger. Sister, there are so many things. You can take some back."

Li Mumu looked at the gentle woman in front of her and thought it must be her aunt Zhang Yi, because her second aunt was very stingy and must have hated the Gu and Li families so much that she had to be exiled as the daughter of a minister.

"Sister-in-law, you are so generous. We have been exiled for thousands of miles, and this is all the good stuff we have along the way."

Li Mumu looked at the woman who was speaking. It should be her second aunt Song Qiang.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, I remember some of these were given by my parents' friends, and some are from our Zhang family."

"You..." Song Qiang's little face turned pale.

There was not even a trace of the Song family.

"I... I'm doing this for our family. We've been implicated and are already unlucky enough. There are only so many delicious foods, why should I give them to them?" Song Qiang's tone no longer had the toughness from before, but she was still reluctant to share the food.

Although Li Mumu didn't like her second aunt, she agreed with her point of view at this moment, because the Li family was not worthy.

Seeing that Madam Gu refused to give in, Song Qiang quickly pulled her son out and said, "Mom, if you give it to someone else, what will your grandson eat?"

However, Gu Yu in her arms said loudly: "Mother, let's give some to Auntie."

"You... humph!" Song Qiang poked her son's head in anger. "Why is my life so miserable? Not only did I marry a man but I didn't enjoy happiness for a few days and I was even implicated. I also gave birth to a son who is an ungrateful person. Woo woo..."

Li Mumu looked at her little cousin and felt warm in her heart. Because of what her little cousin said, she would save his life when he was bitten by a poisonous snake.

Even if Gu Yuru wanted to take it just now, she couldn't reach out her hand now. She couldn't cause discord in her family because of herself. What's more, Li Yuan's actions made her feel cold, and she had never intended to take it in the first place.

"Mom, forget about the food. Please give me some of the wound medicine that brother Yunhe gave me. I'm afraid Yun Chao won't be able to hold on."

Thinking of her eldest son, Gu Yuru's eyes turned red. She was really afraid that her son couldn't hold on.

Old Madam Gu quickly dug out the golden medicine. When she saw the silver note, her eyes lit up. Thinking of what Ling Yunhe had not finished saying, she understood.

"Oh, what is this? Silver..." Song Qiang just opened her mouth when Zhang Yi, who also came from a military family, covered her mouth and looked at her with disappointment.

Song Qiang was not stupid, so she naturally understood and felt regretful.

If the yamen runners knew about this, it would be all gone. This was the life-saving money Ling Yunhe prepared for them.

But the yamen runners were not deaf, and Song Qiang's shout was still heard by others, "What silver? Is there silver?"

Zhang Xiang, the chief of the escorting yamen runners, looked over suddenly. Now they were out of the city gate. Even if the Gu family had Lord Liang as their backer, so what? He could only avoid making things difficult for them. But as for the benefits, he had to get them. Otherwise, why were they here?

He raised his arm and glanced at the sun above his head. "It's getting late. It's time for lunch. Brothers, get ready."

After saying that, he walked towards the Gu family with a smile.

"Don't move, let me see what it is." Zhang Xiang walked over with a sly grin on his face. Even if Madam Gu wanted to hide, she couldn't.

"Madam Gu, what is that? Take it out?"

Madam Gu swallowed nervously, thinking of it as buying peace on the way. After all, all her family members were prisoners now, so there was no need to make things awkward with him.

"Okay, uncle." Li Mumu smiled and snatched the neatly stacked banknotes from her grandmother's hand, then happily handed them to Zhang Xiang.

"Mumu!" Gu Yuru wanted to say something, but Mrs. Gu pulled her arm and shook her head, saying, "It's better to spend money to avoid disaster."

Zhang Xiang rarely smiled in a way that wasn't so frightening. "This child is quite well behaved. That's right, good things should be given to uncle."

Li Mumu nodded vigorously and handed the paper to Zhang Xiang.

The distance was a bit far, and the Gu family only saw Zhang Xiang open it with a smile on his face, then his eyes widened and he became even more proud.

Song Qiang sighed, saying that the banknotes were wasted and she didn't even touch them.

But the next scene left the Gu family dumbfounded, because Zhang Xiang returned the banknote to Li Mumu.

Even Old Madam Gu couldn't understand it. She didn't believe that the yamen runners were not greedy for money.

What's going on?
