Ding Jiaojiao snapped, "I wasn't beaten to death by anyone, I starved to death first."

Pei Nansheng glanced at her and said, "Why don't you go back to Shuzhou? It's comfortable at home, and you definitely won't go hungry."

The two argued the whole way because of this.

Knowing that Pei Nansheng wouldn't indulge her, Ding Jiaojiao still made Pei Nansheng accompany her on every mission, not only because of his good skills, but also because of her inexplicable trust in him.

Two packets of instant noodles, a can of braised pork, and a can of fish—the two of them ate every last drop of soup.

After finishing her meal, Ding Jiaojiao licked her lips. She still hadn't had enough. This was the first hot meal she had eaten in more than half a month.

Pei Nansheng washed the pot, put some water on the stove, and then took out a portable gas stove to cook porridge.

Ding Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. She had wanted to suggest cooking porridge, but the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't bring herself to say them.

She was thoroughly annoyed by Pei Nan the whole way. If she were to say anything, Pei Nan would definitely say, "Then you do it!"

She wouldn't do that, she would! She would never put up with Pei Nan's anger!

Extending her slender fingers, which were much rougher than when she first came out, Ding Jiaojiao felt very wronged. As the young lady of a reclusive family, when had she ever suffered?

Pei Nansheng took some dried green beans and dried potato slices and soaked them in warm water.

I took four sausages and a piece of cured pork, washed them briefly, and put them on the stove to cook.

After boiling for about twenty minutes, I threw the soaked dried green beans and dried potato slices directly into the pot to cook together.

Seeing Pei Nansheng being treated like pig swill, Ding Jiaojiao's face contorted, and her eyes and eyebrows twitched.

Sausages and cured meats are so salty and oily, how can you eat dried green beans and dried potato slices cooked like that?

But Pei Nansheng's retort left her speechless, and she dared not voice her opinions. She swallowed hard; she was really hungry, and the aroma of food made her even hungrier.

Pei Nansheng was also hungry. He had to take care of Ding Jiaojiao, so they shared the food they had.

A grown man like him, that little bit of food is hardly enough.

When he confronted Scarface, Scarface's henchmen swarmed him, and he was no match for him. Unfortunately, Scarface didn't realize that he was already at his limit, and Scarface seized the initiative.

After finally managing to get back on track, we've managed to regain some strength.

The cured pork and sausage were cooked. Pei Nansheng found a plate, cut the cured pork into four small pieces, and left the sausage uncut.

I took a bowl, filled it with porridge, picked up a small piece of cured meat, and ate it with a bite of porridge and a bite of cured meat. Every now and then, I would scoop out dried green beans and dried potato slices from the pot of cured meat and sausages. After finishing the cured meat, I would directly pick up the sausages with my hands and eat them.

Ding Jiaojiao watched from the side, swallowing hard.

If the nanny dared to give her uncut cured meat or sausage, she would definitely slap her across the face.

"I'll endure Pei Nansheng!" Ding Jiaojiao thought viciously.

Pei Nansheng wouldn't serve her any porridge, so the young lady had to find a bowl and serve herself some porridge, stuffing cured meat and sausages into her mouth with a mixture of disgust and eagerness.

Eating only meat was too greasy, so I closed my eyes, steeled my resolve, and, imitating Pei Nansheng, scooped out green beans and potato slices from the pot to eat.

Since leaving Shuzhou, I haven't eaten any vegetables. It's been bread, instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and canned food. I'm so sick of it.

Finally, she got to eat some vegetables, and although they were cooked like pig swill, Ding Jiaojiao still ate them with great relish.

After finishing her meal, not wanting to appear useless, Ding Jiaojiao offered to wash the dishes in a flattering manner.

Pei Nansheng snorted, "Forget it, water is precious. I'm afraid you can't even wash two bowls with one bucket of water."

Miss Ding Jiaojiao is used to a life of luxury and doesn't know anything about thrift. She's fine most of the time, but during periods of water and power outages, we can't let her waste anything.

Ding Jiaojiao's self-esteem was hurt: "Am I really that useless?"

What do you think?

After uttering those four words, Pei Nansheng went about washing the pot and dishes without even glancing at her.

Ding Jiaojiao was so angry that she wanted to stomp her foot again. She had just raised her foot when she held back. She twisted her body in a fit of rage, baring her teeth and claws as if she were going crazy, but she put her foot down gently without making a sound.
