"Hey hey hey!"
Only when they got close enough did Ye Yun and Tang Shu see the person in front of them who was backlit.
Isn't this still the gossipy older brother?
"Surprised? Unexpected? Startled?" The eldest brother slammed the axe aside, the blade cutting into the wood, and with a long stride, struck a super cool and stylish pose.
Ye Yun: "..."
Okay, okay, that was really... a shock!
This was the first time she had ever encountered such a neurotic robber!
Using the light reflected from inside the house, Ye Yun looked around at the small bungalows. Although the visibility was not high, it gave her a sense of familiarity.
Along with the sense of familiarity came a faint sense of fear weighing on my heart.
"Ye Yun? Ye Yun?" A soft voice called from beside her. Ye Yun snapped out of her reverie and met Tang Shu's surprised gaze.
Tang Shu looked at her curiously. "Why are you spacing out? Your brother asked if you're hungry and what you want to eat tonight?"
"What do you want to eat?" Should we ask her?
Ye Yun's eyes twitched.
No, isn't she just a victim of kidnapping?
Would you like to ask her what kind of dinner she would like?
The gossipy guy held a handful of peanuts, casually tossing one into his mouth. "My boss said I have to treat you to good food and drink. I'm just kidnapping you, not abusing you. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have my mom get it for you."
Oh, no.
Ye Yun was dumbfounded. "You're a kidnapper and you're bringing your mother along?"
"My mother can't be a robber? You look down on her?"
"No." Ye Yun decisively gave a thumbs up. "You little rascal, you never forget your mother no matter what you do, you're a model of filial piety!"
"That's right."
The older brother stuffed all the peanuts into his mouth in one gulp, clapped his hands, and said, "What do you want to eat? Tell me!"
Ye Yun raised her hand and said, "Give me a Manchu Han Imperial Feast."
The older brother decisively pointed to his nose, "Do I look like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"
"...not really."
"To be honest."
"Whatever, you can't make what I want to eat anyway." Ye Yun shrugged and carried the child into the house.
The older brother scoffed.
"You're really not being polite. Don't let your kids touch my things when you go inside; the things in my room are very valuable!"
Ye Yun: "..."
My baby is nine months old, you're really overthinking it!
The nanny hurriedly caught up with her, "Sister, we're running out of formula for Xiao Chuqi. We only brought enough for one day when we left. What will we do if the baby gets hungry tonight?"
Ye Yun didn't even turn her head. "I don't know."
The older woman was taken aback, "Ah, this..."
Tang Shu followed Ye Yun into the house from behind. Her older sister looked at her blankly, which startled her. "Don't look at me! It's no use looking at me. I don't have any milk!"
The eldest sister was speechless.
Finally, the eldest sister looked at the gossipy eldest brother standing at the door.
The older brother was startled. "I have milk?"
Eldest sister: "..."
What a waste of money.
If it weren't for him, the little girl wouldn't have gone hungry!
The older sister gave the man a resentful look, then followed Ye Yun into the small house without turning her head.
She truly felt sorry for Xiao Chuqi. The little girl had been cared for by her since she was less than two months old. How was that any different from her own child?
Hey, the older brother is happy.
She actually dared to glare at him now. Wasn't she just now so afraid of him that her legs went weak?
Inside the house.
An elderly woman wearing a blue headscarf was cooking porridge. When she saw them enter the house, a kind and genuine smile appeared on her face.
"The guests have arrived."
A small hut, two beds, bare walls, the dilapidated windows needing to be covered with thick newspapers to keep out the wind, and the walls covered with stove ash, illuminated by the dim light, were full of traces of poverty.
Ye Yun was stunned as soon as she entered.
Outside, the older brother, looking troubled, was smoking and scratching the back of his head in frustration.
never mind.
Let's borrow some goat milk from the neighboring livestock farm.
"There's not much to do at home, so please make do with yourselves. I hope my Qiangzi didn't give you any trouble when you came?" The old lady found a clean cloth and spread it on the small bed.
Ye Yun and Tang Shu shook their heads repeatedly.
When they sat down, they were both a little clumsy, which surprised the old lady, who clicked her tongue in astonishment.
She didn't say anything, but grabbed an extra handful of rice and poured it into the pot.
"Auntie, where is this place?"
Ye Yun handed the sleeping Xiao Chuqi to her eldest sister, then went over and helped the old lady pick vegetables.
The old lady smiled kindly, "I really can't tell you that. When my Qiangzi comes back, you can ask him and see if he'll tell you."
"oh……"
Looking at the old lady's kind face, she didn't want to put the old lady in a difficult position, so she stopped trying to get information out of her.
After picking the vegetables, the old lady stopped asking her for help.
She returned to Tang Shu's side, and Tang Shu immediately took her arm, looking puzzled, and said, "Ye Yun, I'm a little confused right now. Have we been kidnapped or are we here as guests?"
"It's obvious we've been kidnapped and brought here as guests."
Tang Shu: "..."
With a sizzle, the old lady sprinkled some meat sauce into the pot, heated it up, and then threw in the washed greens.
In a short while, the small room was filled with the enticing aroma of food.
Tang Shu couldn't help but touch her belly.
"You know what, it smells pretty good. I'm hungry."
Hearing her muttering, the old lady turned her head and smiled at her, saying unhurriedly, "Don't worry, dinner will be served soon."
"These are just appetizers. If you're not used to them, Qiangzi will bring other dishes later, specially for you. You're not the first people to come here. Everyone who comes here is an important person and our guest. We won't treat you badly."
Forehead……
Ye Yun smiled awkwardly.
This whole thing is making her lose sight of her own identity!
Not long after the old lady finished cooking the dishes, the gossipy older brother indeed returned home carrying large and small bags of things.
He brought five lunch boxes.
Each lunchbox contained brightly colored food: stir-fried greens, stir-fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried bok choy, a serving of stir-fried chicken, and a serving of minced pork with vermicelli.
A total of three vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes.
There was also a bag of plump white steamed buns.
Add to that the old lady's stir-fried vegetables with meat sauce, and it becomes three vegetarian dishes and three meat dishes.
Tang Shu couldn't help but swallow hard. "If being kidnapped is like this, I'd be willing to be kidnapped every day. Ye Yun, your cooking skills are even better than our family's chef!"
Ye Yun turned her head and saw her. "When did your family hire a chef? How come I didn't know?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you."
Tang Shu sat down at the table as if she were a familiar face, took out chopsticks and steamed buns, and wolfed them down without any hesitation.
The gossipy older brother clicked his tongue in disdain.
"Eat slowly. Were you a starving ghost in your past life or have you never had a full meal in this one? Slow down, what if you choke?"
"Brother Qiang! Get me some water!"
"..."
Ye Yun felt that the world was starting to turn upside down.
Just as she was about to sit down and satisfy her craving, a glass bottle of hot goat milk was suddenly handed to her.
