Hu Lili paused while drinking porridge and looked up at Wang Huilian.
Wang Huilian looked back at her without any hesitation, telling everyone clearly that she was talking about Hu Lili.
Hu Lili lowered her eyelids, slowly put the bowl on the table, and said to Wang Huilian with a half-smile: "Auntie, if you feel it's not enough, you can buy from me."
"Although my rations are not much, if you are really starving, it won't hurt to sell you some."
At this point, Hu Lili shrugged her nose and said playfully, "Or, if you kneel down and beg me, I can give you some rice. How about that?"
Wang Huilian was so angry that her face turned red. She looked at Hu Lili and was speechless: "You..."
She originally wanted to take advantage of Hu Lili's young age, say some sarcastic words to make her feel embarrassed, and thus give her some food rations.
I didn't expect that this little girl was so shameless and actually spoke so irritatingly?
Hu Lili poked the porridge in the bowl with chopsticks and stirred it constantly, while talking non-stop.
"I eat dry food and drink thick food because I have good parents. I am their daughter and they are willing to support me."
"You accused me of eating too much in front of me in a sarcastic way. What? Do you want to be my daughter and let me support you?"
It can be said that these words did not give Wang Huilian any face at all, and it was almost as if she was going to be a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
Wang Huilian felt extremely humiliated. She turned to look at Shen Chunshu angrily and said, "Are you a dead person? When others say this to me, you don't say anything?"
Chen Chunshu put the bowl on the table with a bang and looked at Wang Huilian fiercely: "Even eating can't stop your mouth? If you want food, go out and ask for it. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Wang Huilian was so angry at Shen Chunshu's merciless accusation that she trembled and pointed at him: "You...you heartless person, who am I doing this for?"
Whenever she had an extra grain of rice, she would give it to Chen Chunshu or her two sons, and she never kept any for herself.
And now, this man actually despises her for being embarrassing?
Wang Huilian raised the bowl in her hand high, looked at the table and really wanted to smash it down.
But the soup in the bowl splashed her hands, which brought her back to her senses.
Her meal depends on this bowl of soup. If she smashes it, no one will give her any, and she will be the one starving in the end.
Wang Huilian suppressed the anger in her chest and drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp, which was so thin that there were hardly any rice grains visible.
Then he put the bowl heavily on the table, got up and left.
Hu Lili was in a particularly good mood when she saw Wang Huilian was angry and left.
She picked up the bowl again and began to drink slowly.
Everyone else at the table felt a little awkward and ate their own food in silence.
From then on, the Shen family was in a state where they were not starving to death but could not live happily either.
Among them, old lady Wang, who was paralyzed, had only rice soup, and it was rare to see even a grain of rice in the bowl.
People who were not fat to begin with became visibly thinner.
She was so hungry that she couldn't fall asleep.
Since she couldn't sleep, she started torturing others.
It howled every now and then at night, annoyed the people sleeping in the east room.
The person closest to Old Lady Wang was Shen Weimin, who covered his head with a quilt, and his irritable voice came from under the quilt.
"Grandma, what on earth do you want to do? Are you going to let me sleep? You're so annoying!"
Old Mrs. Wang didn't want to howl, but she was hungry and her stomach was rumbling.
If she didn't make a fuss, she was afraid that she would starve to death by her family.
Old Man Shen stared at the roof with his eyes open.
He knew exactly what his wife was doing!
But he had no choice now. It was a time of famine and there was no food to eat, so he couldn't transform.
The next day, Old Man Shen sat on the kang and thought for a long time. Finally, he decided to borrow some food from other families for emergency use.
He didn't tell anyone about this and left the Shen family alone.
Everyone else thought that the old man had gone out for a stroll and was quite surprised. Everyone was so hungry that they had almost no strength left in their bodies. How could this old man still have the strength to walk?
Hu Lili also saw the situation of the Shen family, and she was very scared.
A hungry person can do anything.
Especially since she is a grown girl, if the people around her were starving to death, who knows if she would still be alive?
Hu Lili took advantage of no one's attention and secretly ran to Liu Changshan's house.
As soon as she entered, she anxiously asked Liu Changshan: "Village head, how long will it take for us educated youth to clean up the place where we live?"
Liu Changshan looked at Hu Lili's uneasy face and was a little puzzled: "Why are you asking this? We have to wait a few days. The weather has been getting warmer recently. As long as it doesn't freeze anymore, we can start construction."
"I see you're quite worried, is there something wrong?"
Hu Lili didn't know what to say. She didn't have any substantial evidence at the moment, and she couldn't just tell the village chief so casually. She had a feeling: the Shen family would eat her alive, right?
But it was not her style to endure it. She whispered to Liu Changshan, "I don't want to live in the Shen family anymore. Every meal in his family is like drinking water. I am so hungry that I am going to get angry."
"I'm afraid they will steal my food rations one day. So I want to move out as soon as possible."
Liu Changshan quickly waved his hands at Hu Lili: "Impossible, impossible, don't worry. Although the Shen family is sometimes troublesome and a little unreasonable, they are not the kind of family that would kill people. You can rest assured."
The reason why Liu Changshan said this was because Shen Siyue from the Shen family had made such a fuss with the Shen family, but the Shen family did not say anything about secretly killing her.
It is foreseeable that although the Shen family has evil intentions, they will not kill anyone.
Hu Lili knew that Liu Changshan would not believe it. After all, she was an outsider who had only been here for less than a month. How could she compare with people from the same village who had lived there for decades?
But she still urged: "Please trouble the village chief to clean up the educated youth site as soon as possible. I really don't want to live in the Shen family anymore."
Seeing that little girl Hu Lili was anxious and scared, Liu Changshan also promised: "Then I will gather people in the next few days to clean up the mess in the house first."
"When the weather gets a little warmer, I'll build a kang for you. Once the kang is dry, you can move in first, and we can take care of the rest later."
Hu Lili nodded quickly. As long as she could get away from those jackals from the Shen family as soon as possible, it would be fine.
After saying this, Hu Lili left Liu Changshan's house.
Looking at Hu Lili's leaving back, Liu Changshan's brows gradually frowned.
