Chapter 8 I Won't Eat Your Food
After raining for a whole day, the gloomy sky finally cleared up and the sun cast its scorching rays on the earth.
Early in the morning, the officials began to urge everyone to get up.
I have to say that the conditions of this post station are quite good.
Even if it was shabby, everyone had a bowl of thin brown rice porridge for breakfast, which was so thin that you could see your reflection in it. It was at least much better than the steamed buns provided by the bearded man.
Shen Wan brought the porridge to Xie Mubai and handed him the bamboo tube: "Use this when you need to pee urgently in the future. If it's inconvenient, come to me."
Xie Mubai blushed.
How can this ugly woman be so vulgar? She talks about shit and piss all the time. How can she look like a lady from a noble family?
He didn't say anything, but just picked up the bowl to hide the embarrassment on his face.
Just after finishing the porridge, the officials outside began to urge us to set off.
After hearing this, Shen Wan held him and walked out.
Seeing Xie Mubai lying on the cart safe and sound, Aunt Zhou and others were shocked.
However, they did not regret separating, because this disabled person would only be a burden to them if he were alive.
"Why are you still following us?" Aunt Zhou glanced at Xie Murong and said with a forced smile, "Didn't you see that your fifth brother woke up?"
The group of people together only had a small amount of money from Sun, and she didn't want any more people to share it.
What's more, this girl can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands. It seems that she has no other use except to hold them back.
"Auntie!" Xie Murong's eyes were red, and he looked at her aggrievedly, "But I don't want to leave you."
Sun's eyes turned, and she glanced at Shen Wan with a vicious look: "Murong, Auntie is also doing this for your own good."
"You'd better keep your distance from us, otherwise that ugly girl will never let you go. You know how much she hates us now!"
Haha, that ugly girl actually dared to hit her!
If she doesn't avenge this, she won't be named Sun!
Before she finished speaking, Sun took Aunt Zhou's hand and left.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xie Murong's eyes turned sinister when he looked at Shen Wan.
The weather was so hot that everyone was sweating profusely after walking a few steps.
Although Xie Mubai didn't have to walk, he was still sweating profusely from the sun.
Seeing a banana tree on the side of the road, Shen Wan stopped the car and walked over.
"Fifth brother, look at this ugly girl slacking off again!" Xie Murong took the opportunity to show off in front of Xie Mubai, "If she can't keep up with the team, she will definitely be whipped again!"
Because of her slow speed, she was whipped several times.
"Then push me." Xie Mubai said calmly.
When Xie Murong heard this, he immediately screamed, "Fifth brother, how can I push it!"
"What else are you talking about if you can't push it?" Xie Mubai's face was gloomy, and there was obvious coldness between the lines.
Xie Murong's face turned pale.
She bit her lip and said with a look of grievance: "Fifth brother, are you still angry about what happened last night?"
"You know I'm timid..."
Xie Mubai was not angry, he was just heartbroken.
His most beloved sister actually abandoned him at the critical moment of his life and death.
Except for that ugly woman, none of his so-called relatives cared about his life or death.
Xie Murong wanted to explain, but saw Shen Wan coming over with something like a big umbrella.
"What is this?" Xie Mubai asked.
Shen Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead and tied the parasol made of banana leaves to the car with a smile: "Parasail!"
"The sun is so strong, what if you get heatstroke?"
Xie Mubai felt warm in his heart after hearing this.
Shen Wan didn't even glance at Xie Murong who was standing on the side, she pushed the cart and walked forward.
Seeing that this ugly woman dared to treat him as air, Xie Murong's face turned pale with anger.
After finally making it to the break, I found out that lunch was still steamed buns that were so hard they could be used as hidden weapons.
Just like yesterday, Sun didn't eat the steamed buns, but bought some sesame cakes instead.
Xie Murong looked at it and transferred all his anger to Shen Wan: "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, Aunt Zhou wouldn't have split up the family!"
"We're dividing ours, what does it have to do with you?" Shen Wan sneered, "Besides, I didn't ask you to go with us, so why are you following us so stubbornly?"
Xie Murong was so angry that he was fuming. He yelled at the top of his voice: "I am traveling with Fifth Brother, not with you!"
Chen Wan did not ask her to go with them, but if she did not follow them, how could a weak woman like her dare to go alone?
Although most of those exiled were children of aristocratic families, there was no guarantee that there would be some dishonest ones among them.
If she suffered a loss, she would have no place to cry.
“Okay, then don’t eat my food!” Shen Wan said deliberately.
Xie Murong raised his head proudly, with a look of disdain on his face: "You talk as if I have eaten your food."
"I, Xie Murong, would rather die of thirst or starvation than eat a single bite of your food!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan stood up happily: “Okay, I’ll remember it!”
She went up the mountain on the pretext of convenience, made a bamboo tube to hold water, and then took out a lively big pheasant from the space.
Now that the family has split up, she can enjoy a good meal.
After returning, Shen Wan borrowed a knife from the bearded officer.
"Sir, please try my cooking later!" she said with a smile.
Sun rolled her eyes and spat viciously, "What a vixen! Fifth brother isn't even dead yet, and she's already hooking up with a man!"
"With her cooking skills, is the chicken she made edible?"
No one had any hope for Shen Wan's cooking skills.
No matter how ugly this girl is, she is still the daughter of a marquis. It's hard to say whether she has ever been in the kitchen. It's a pity for that fat pheasant.
"Be careful not to damage the blade." Although the bearded man wanted to eat, he was also skeptical of her cooking skills. "Better hurry up and don't delay our departure."
Shen Wan was a medical student, so she caught the pheasant in a short while.
"Who did you learn all this from?" Xie Mubai looked at him coldly and asked suddenly.
As Shen Wan roasted the chicken on the fire, she smiled and said, "When I was a kid, I was in the military camp and ate coarse food every day."
"I can't stand hardship, so I often go up the mountain to hunt for game to satisfy my hunger."
She didn't lie. The original owner had indeed been in the military camp and had acquired a soldier's temperament.
But I don’t have her exquisite knife skills, let alone her superb cooking skills.
Xie Mubai couldn't help but look at her a few more times. This ugly woman really gave him surprises all the time.
Soon, a tempting fragrance drifted in the sultry air, and Xie Murong's eyes widened with greed.
Dabao sniffed hard, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth to the ground.
"Mom, I don't want to eat pancakes, I want to eat meat too!" He pulled Zhao's hand and started to make a scene.
Zhao stretched out her hand and held him in her arms, glancing at Shen Wan with some fear: “You dare to snatch that woman’s things?”
She was afraid of Aunt Zhou, but she was even more afraid of that ugly woman.
Sun's eyes turned, and she immediately pulled Xie Murong over and said mysteriously, "Don't you want to go with us?"
"As long as you bring back half of the chicken to honor your aunt, I will speak for you in front of her."
"That pheasant isn't always available, but I can have my pancakes every day."
Aunt Zhou had been greedy for a long time.
Seeing Sun say this, she nodded pretentiously: "Rong'er, since your third sister-in-law has asked, I can't refuse."
"If this is done, you can eat bread with us from now on."
Will the ugly girl give it to me?
Xie Murong was unsure.
She hesitated slightly, but still walked towards Shen Wan.
