Chapter 105 I'd rather starve than eat (Seeking monthly votes)
Wang Xiaohu knocked on the door again, and the people inside told him to go back quickly.
Wang Xiaohu was tired and hungry; his legs felt heavy, and his head felt sluggish.
Knowing he couldn't get into Xu Qingmo's house today, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and head towards his own home.
Wang Shuncai came to pick someone up and happened to run into Wang Xiaohu walking home.
Wang Shuncai noticed that something was wrong with Wang Xiaohu and went over to hug him.
"Little Tiger, what's wrong with you?"
"Dad, I'm so cold, hungry and uncomfortable. Xu Qingmo's family won't let me into their house, and they won't give me any food. Uncle Shen didn't keep his word. He said he would give me food in the future, but I haven't had many meals yet."
Wang Shuncai took a deep look in the direction of Xu Qingmo's house.
He carried Wang Xiaohu and walked towards home.
"Did you do something wrong again?"
Wang Xiaohu was agitated. "I didn't. I even cooked and washed dishes there. I even gave Xu Qingmo some of my new dishes. She only accepted the dishes but didn't want me to stay and eat. She said I ate too much and wasted food."
Wang Xiaohu became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and he buried his face in Wang Shuncai's shoulder and cried.
"Dad, if Mom were still here, she would definitely take me to seek justice. Dad, could you take me back to cause trouble for Xu Qingmo?"
Wang Shuncai was in a dilemma. He knew Wang Xiaohu's personality very well; he had been spoiled by Cai Qinqin.
Now, out of ten sentences he utters, only one is true.
Wang Shuncai truly had no choice but to take Wang Xiaohu into trouble.
He knew Shen Jiang's character well; if Wang Xiaohu had made him angry, he must have done something wrong this time.
However, considering that Wang Xiaohu was currently unwell, he did not ask any further questions.
"You're not feeling well, so don't say too much. I'll cook for you when we get home."
"I don't want to eat your cooking. All you can make is plain noodles, which is the worst thing I can eat," Wang Xiaohu pouted, fuming.
Wang Shuncai said, "I'll take you to the cafeteria tomorrow. It's so late tonight, there's no food left there."
"Dad, please take me to Xu Qingmo's house. With you here, Xu Qingmo shouldn't kick me out."
"Don't be ridiculous, we do have a home."
"But I don't want to go home, I want to go to Xu Qingmo's house."
Wang Shuncai gave Wang Xiaohu's buttocks a symbolic pat twice, causing the wound, which hadn't fully healed, to hurt again.
Wang Xiaohu was forced to behave himself.
After returning home, Wang Xiaohu immediately pulled the blanket over his head and refused to eat anything.
The person who usually loves to eat has now lost their appetite because of Wang Shuncai's cooking.
Wang Shuncai frowned and went to the kitchen to start thinking about how to cook a delicious meal.
I wanted to roll out noodles, but I found that I had added too much water. The flour slipped through my fingers and wouldn't hold its shape.
Helpless, Wang Shuncai had no choice but to cook plain noodles again, but this time he added two boiled eggs.
Wang Shuncai went to call Wang Xiaohu for dinner, and Wang Xiaohu only agreed to get up and eat when he heard that there were boiled eggs.
However, he only ate the boiled eggs and drank some noodle soup before returning to his room.
Wang Shuncai sighed. Seeing Wang Xiaohu lying on the bed in pain, he couldn't bear it. He took a few pounds of flour from home, along with some eggs and money, and went out the door.
When Wang Shun arrived at Xu Qingmo's door, he hesitated for a long time before knocking.
The door was opened by Chen Jiang, who assumed that Wang Xiaohu hadn't returned yet.
Upon opening the door, Shen Jiang saw Wang Shuncai instead and invited him inside.
Wang Shuncai was a little embarrassed and said apologetically, "It's really bothering you to come to your house at this time."
"It's nothing. What brings you here?"
Wang Shuncai placed the items he had brought on the table one by one, and first apologized for Wang Xiaohu's matter.
She then explained her purpose: "My son Xiaohu has caused you a lot of trouble, and I feel bad about it. These eggs are to apologize. I'd like to buy some flour and money from you because Xiaohu doesn't eat my cooking, and the cafeteria is out of food now. So I'd like to buy some from you. Is that alright?"
Wang Shuncai's attitude was very good, which Xu Qingmo and Lu Ting both noticed.
Xu Qingmo reminded him, "There are still some leftovers in the pot in the kitchen, but they are all leftovers from our family's meals. We were just about to throw them away. Uncle Wang, if you don't mind, you can take them back."
Wang Shuncai readily agreed, "Of course not, these are all good things. Thank you, Momo, and thank you, Shenjiang. I won't be polite then."
Wang Shuncai followed her into the kitchen, and Wang Jing gave him the rest of the food.
After leaving the kitchen, Wang Jing saw the things on the table and asked Wang Shuncai to take them back.
Wang Shuncai held the rice bowl in both hands, still without any free hands to pick up anything else.
"I'm leaving now. I'll bring the rice bowl over tomorrow after I wash it."
"Take your things back," Wang Jing said.
"The things belong to your family now, I'm leaving first." Wang Shuncai immediately left Xu Qingmo's house.
Wang Jing arranged for Lu Ting to deliver the items over. Since he couldn't carry them all by himself, Xu Qingmo helped him pick them up and deliver them.
Wang Shuncai saw Xu Qingmo and the others coming over, carrying a lot of things in their hands.
"Don't take anything from my house, these are all yours."
Xu Qingmo spoke up, "Our family doesn't lack these things, and the food you took is also food we can't finish. Uncle Wang helped us with these things, which is a favor. Since it's a favor, we shouldn't take these things."
Xu Qingmo felt that among all the people in that family, only Wang Shuncai was somewhat pleasing to the eye.
Cai Qinqin ruined herself, and Wang Shuncai couldn't even get a hot meal when he got home every day.
Xu Qingmo then instructed the cook to prepare extra food, not for Wang Xiaohu, but only for Wang Shuncai.
"Momo, you are such a sensible child. Shenjiang is so lucky to have a daughter like you," Wang Shuncai couldn't help but praise.
Xu Qingmo said, "Don't praise me like crazy just because I gave you a meal. There might not be any more meals for you in the future."
Wang Shuncai was amused. "It's okay, I can still make plain noodles."
Xu Qingmo lost her appetite just thinking about the meal.
She would rather starve herself than eat an extra bite.
Wang Xiaohu is even more gluttonous than her, so he would definitely find it even harder to tolerate.
Wang Shuncai has it tough. He's busy during the day, and when he gets home at night, he still has to take care of that mischievous Wang Xiaohu.
If it weren't for Wang Xiaohu being such a burden, Xu Qingmo would have wanted Wang Shuncai to come to their house for dinner.
"Uncle Wang, you should learn to cook other dishes. Eating plain noodles for too long isn't good."
"I'm fine, as long as I can eat my fill. It's just that Xiaohu is a picky eater, but we can't spoil him like this anymore. We have to make him like eating plain noodles."
Lu Ting chimed in from the side, "I'm afraid Wang Xiaohu would rather starve to death than eat."
Wang Shuncai asked suspiciously, "Is it really that bad?"
