Chapter 370



This look made Old Lady Yang feel a little frightened.

How could this young girl have such a scary look in her eyes? But when Old Lady Yang squinted her eyes and tried to get a closer look, she regained her innocent and soft look.

Old Madam Yang blinked, perhaps because of her old age and dim eyesight, she must have seen it wrong.

"We don't have enough to eat." Old Lady Yang said, "Thanks to Comrade Shen Li. If it were Comrade Shen Li, we would have starved to death here. There are not many good people like Comrade Shen Li these days."

Hearing these words, Bai Shuzhen's eyes turned sinister.

Why did Shen Li become the savior in everyone's eyes just by donating some food, and make these villagers so grateful?

How come Shen Li has money, fame, and everything else, and even got the man she always wanted, why do all the good things in the world belong to Shen Li? Why do I, a book-crossing girl, end up like a native?

This made Bai Shuzhen feel deeply distressed.

After she gets through this, and Song Handong recovers, I will definitely live a good life. Then I will be proud of myself, and I will definitely make Shen Li look good!

"Now that the food has arrived, let's quickly cook some food so that everyone can eat." Bai Shuzhen urged Mrs. Yang.

Old lady Yang looked weak, her hands holding the cane were shaking, her legs were weak from hunger, her eyes were blurry, and it took a lot of energy to walk, "Will you cook this meal? I really don't have the energy..."

Ever since she took in these two people, she has been cooking for herself. However, she has been hungry for two days in a row, and her old arms and legs are really tired. She feels weak all over and has no energy to walk, let alone cook. Now she just wants to lie down and wait for a bowl of hot rice.

Bai Shuzhen looked at her with disdain, "Are you treating me like a babysitter? I'm staying at your house for a while, and I'm your slave!"

These words made Old Lady Yang feel aggrieved for a moment.

When did I treat her as a slave?

It was just that she felt too uncomfortable, so she wanted Bai Shuzhen to cook.

I didn't expect a little girl to speak so harshly.

"Well, let's do it." Mrs. Yang sighed and walked towards the kitchen tremblingly.

She cut the sack of rice a little, then held a basin with trembling fingers and placed the basin over the cut sack. Soon, the rice in the sack fell out and landed in the basin.

Old Mrs. Yang stood up. The moment she stood up, her eyes went dark and she almost lost her balance. Her hands were shaking a little and the rice in her hands fell to the ground. She felt distressed.

She quickly put her crutches aside, then slowly squatted down, picked up the rice grains one by one, and then put them under the tap to rinse them repeatedly.

This rice is life-saving rice, every grain is wasted.

After rinsing the pot, Old Lady Yang started to light the fire and put the rice in to cook.

Soon, the hot water was boiling, bubbling.

The tempting aroma of rice gradually began to emanate.

In the past, when Bai Shuzhen had a good life, she would throw the rice she ate directly to feed the dog. But this time was different from the past. After a while, when she smelled the fragrance of rice after the day, Bai Shuzhen's stomach growled with hunger. She quickly rushed to the kitchen and pushed Mrs. Yang away.

Old Madam Yang was caught off guard and was pushed to the side. She fell into the firewood pile. The sharp firewood cut Old Madam Yang's skin, and soon several bloody cuts were left on her withered face.

Old Mrs. Yang's face turned pale with pain. Only now did she realize that the little girl in front of her who was busy putting porridge into the bowl was doing it on purpose.

"Why are you like this? I took you in with good intentions, but you and that man came to my house and just waited for dinner. I didn't even wash the dishes or chopsticks or do any chores. I even washed both of your clothes. That would have been fine, but you actually pushed me away! How can an old woman stand being pushed away like that?" Old Mrs. Yang felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke.

At this time, Bai Shuzhen had already deftly used two large bowls to serve two bowls of very thick and sticky rice. She walked out quickly with a bowl in each hand without even looking at Old Lady Yang.

Old Lady Yang couldn't believe it. Did this little girl ignore her words? Who is she? Why is she like this?

She immediately thought of the words of advice she had received from her former staff and the young women in the village, and suddenly she felt a little regretful.

Old Mrs. Yang struggled to get up from the ground, tremblingly moved her crutches, and prepared to serve herself a bowl of rice porridge.

Because there were only three bags of food this time, and she thought that three people would need to take medicine for at least three months, and she didn't know when her own subsistence allowance would be issued, so she used a smaller bowl to serve the rice, thinking of saving money. But she didn't expect that after Bai Shuzhen left with the two large bowls of rice, the pot would be watery, with only a few thin rice grains left.

Why is Bai Shuzhen like this? She takes away all the thick ones and leaves only a little thinner ones for an old woman like herself.

This is her own home and her own food, she really treats herself as an outsider.

Old Mrs. Yang was helpless, but she was too hungry to show any anger at the moment, so she could only stretch out her trembling fingers like dry tree bark to take a broken bowl to get some porridge. She originally wanted to scoop out the rice in the bowl and eat more rice, at least to fill her stomach and make herself feel more energetic, but she didn't expect that Bai Shuzhen would appear the next second and snatch the bowl from her hand.

"What are you doing?" Old Mrs. Yang looked at him in disbelief.

"We each have a bowl, and we're not full yet." Bai Shuzhen sneered, "You old woman are so greedy that you took away all the rice, leaving only some water."

For a moment, Old Lady Yang stared at her in disbelief. She never thought that such a young girl could say such a thing!

"What do you mean by greedy?" Old Madam Yang stared at her in disbelief. "This is your own food! What if you want to eat some rice?! Besides, you two are just my adopted guests. It's ok to express gratitude, but you refused and now you're stealing my food! And you're still ignoring me?!"

Who is the master of this house?

Old Mrs. Yang began to regret.

If I had known earlier, I should have taken them in!
