Chapter 63 This is Hungry
When Mrs. Wu saw that her son and daughter had made fish soup, she looked at it eagerly, waiting for them to bring it back so that she could have a share.
However, when the two children brought the soup back, Mrs. Wu realized that there wasn't much. She started scolding them, saying, "Yue Fuli is so stingy. Why did she only give you so little? Who can drink this little soup? Go, ask her to get some more."
"Mom, can you please stop making trouble? Big sister gave each of us the same amount of soup. Even if you ask for more, there won't be any left." Yue Lingxue looked at her mother speechlessly. It's good enough to have soup to drink, why are you so picky?
If she and her brother hadn't helped collect firewood, there wouldn't be even a little soup now.
When Mrs. Wu heard what her daughter said, her face immediately turned dark, but she didn't say anything else. Instead, she took her own bowl and divided the soup in half.
The steamed bun is still the same steamed bun, but with the soup, the taste changes immediately.
After eating two steamed buns with soup, Mrs. Wu said to her son and daughter, "From now on, you should be more considerate. When they make something delicious, you can go and help them."
"I understand, mother!" Yue Lingjia nodded. Even if his mother hadn't told him, he would have gone. In the past, influenced by his family, he always thought that the brothers and sisters from the eldest wife were not good. Now he realized that they were actually quite good. Especially the eldest sister, who kept her word.
Yue Fuli had no idea that because of her kindness, two more people were eating and drinking for free. But even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
As long as the child is obedient and helps with things, it's okay to eat a little. At worst, you can just make more later.
Unlike Yue Fuli, the officials still ate grilled fish. With the addition of Yue Fuli's seasoning, although everyone's grilled fish skills were not very good, it was still very fragrant.
After lunch and a short rest, everyone set off again. Perhaps it was because of the fish soup, but Wu actually felt stronger on her feet.
Yue Fuli didn't care that Yue Lingxue and Yue Lingjia shared the soup with Wu and Yue Zhenhe. She had already given the soup to them, so it belonged to them. Whether they ate it themselves or shared it with others was their own business.
However, the team had not gone far before they stopped because of a loud shout.
"Kuan'er, Kuan'er, what's wrong with you?" Jiang from the second house shouted loudly and shrilly, scaring everyone.
"What's going on?" the old lady asked as she was about to get off the donkey cart. Yue Fuli stopped her from getting off and said, "Grandma, I'll go check it out."
"Go!" The old lady nodded and looked at Yue Fuli and said, "Ali, one stroke of the pen cannot write two characters. Although the Second House can be hateful sometimes, we still have to help if we can."
"I know." Yue Fuli agreed. She knew that the old lady was afraid that she would not help because of what the second wife had done.
Soon, Yue Fuli came to the front of the team. Seeing Yue Lingkuan lying on the ground, he squatted down.
"Yue Fuli, what are you going to do?" When Jiang saw Yue Fuli grabbing her son's hand, she immediately screamed.
"Jiang, instead of yelling here, why don't you go and ask Hu Tou if they have any food? Your son is hungry."
"Hungry?" Jiang was a little skeptical. But then she thought about it and became half-believing. Her son had indeed not eaten much during the journey. Even if he was given a steamed bun, he would only take one or two bites.
