Chapter 10 A small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive, young lady.
Song Li was too lazy to bother looking for food, so she simply took out a bag of sausages from her spatial storage.
—In her previous life, when she was dying, she had just moved and ordered several large boxes of snacks and instant noodles online. The deliveryman left the packages at the door, but before she could open the door to receive them, an earthquake struck.
Now, although the front door is blocked by fog and cannot be opened, her belongings are still on the steps at the door, and she can take them as she pleases.
Song Li peeled off all the plastic packaging of the ham sausages, cut them into small pieces, and cooked them together with the instant noodles. When they were almost cooked, she added two eggs and two slices of cheese to increase the nutrition.
—In her previous life, she was an orphan. Before she turned eighteen, she ate at the welfare home's canteen. After she turned eighteen, she either ate cold steamed buns or ordered takeout. Apart from cooking instant noodles, she really didn't know how to cook anything else.
Even so, the aroma wafting from the gaps in the pot lid made Song Xiaoxiao and Song Yu, who were standing at the door, drool with envy.
Saying that you'd be drooling with envy is just an exaggeration.
Song Xiaoxiao just kept swallowing hard; she didn't cry.
But Song Yu truly shed tears of genuine emotion.
"You brat... no, Big Sister Big Sister, please have mercy and let me have a bite."
Song Yu pitifully sidled up to Song Li, begging for food.
Song Li used bamboo chopsticks printed with Nezha patterns to scoop noodles into Song Xiaoxiao and Ao Bing's small wooden bowl, pretending not to hear.
The extremely stingy Mrs. He even hid the bowls and chopsticks, not letting her use them.
Fortunately, she had just moved house in her previous life and had bought all the necessary household items.
She served the noodles to Song Xiaoxiao and secretly added some spiritual spring water to them.
Song Xiaoxiao's attention was completely focused on the cartoon figures on the bowl, she absolutely adored them, but she couldn't spare any attention to look at them for long because the noodles in the bowl smelled so delicious.
I couldn't wait to slurp it up. The chewy and smooth noodles soaked up the oily broth, blooming in my mouth like spring flowers. Combined with the savory aroma of meat and the salty fragrance of milk, it was simply a delicacy.
Song Xiaoxiao held the bowl of noodles and slurped them down, her eyes squinting with bliss.
Seeing this, Song Yu became even more greedy. He ran to his own hut, smashed open He Shi's locked cabinet with a stone, and took out everything hidden inside.
There is fine rice, wheat flour, salted meat, and dried fish.
"Sister Daya, here, take all of these. Can I have a bite of noodles in return?"
Song Yu said this with great sincerity.
Song Li raised an eyebrow: "That's fine, but it's not enough."
She wasn't tempted; she couldn't cook, and the raw food in front of her held little meaning for her.
Song Yu thought for a moment, then ran to the cellar, pried open a section of the wall, pulled out a small cloth bag from the hole, ran back, placed it on the table in front of Song Li, and said urgently:
"This is my mother's secret stash of money, it's all yours, Sister Daya, please give me something to eat..."
Song Li: "..."
What's with this feeling of déjà vu, like a drug withdrawal episode?
Song Yu thought she was still unwilling, so she pursed her lips and suddenly said mysteriously, "Sister, I'll tell you another secret, is that alright?"
He'd do anything for food!
Song Li asked, "What secret?"
Song Yu leaned closer to her and said seriously, "Actually, your father—"
"Yu Lang!"
A sharp shout abruptly cut off Song Yu's words.
The He couple strode in from outside the fenced yard.
Qingliu Village is small, and it's only a few steps to home. They returned home late because they went to the village head's house to deliver a letter severing ties with Song Li, completely kicking her out of the house.
He's right hand was broken. She originally wanted to go to town to see a doctor first, but Song Lao Er told her about Song Li beating Wang Lao Cai yesterday. He was also afraid of getting into trouble, so she hurriedly broke off the marriage.
After a flurry of activity, it was already noon, so I came back to eat first and then went to see the doctor. But as soon as I entered the door, I witnessed my son telling on me.
"What do you want to do? Corrupt my son?"
When Madam He saw her own savings on the table, her face turned deathly pale. With her unbroken hand, she grabbed the money and stuffed it into her bosom. She then quickly pulled Song Yu close and loudly questioned him.
Song Li casually picked at her ear, too lazy to bother with it.
He dragged Song Yu into the house and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Inside the room, Song Yu's hysterical cries immediately rang out.
"I want to eat fragrant noodles! I really want to eat fragrant noodles!"
Madam He tried her best to coax him: "My dear child, that's not a good thing. Be good, and I'll stew chicken for you today."
The more you can't have something, the more you want to eat it, but Song Yu wouldn't have it.
Even Song Lao Er couldn't cure his son.
The house erupted in chaos.
Song Li finished her lunch without changing her expression, then fetched water to wash the dishes and chopsticks herself and put them into her spatial storage.
The door to the main house was tightly closed. After the Song family of three went in, they didn't come out again, probably because they were afraid that she would take the house if they came out.
Bang bang bang!
Song Li dragged a few scrap wooden planks from the livestock shed and used a sledgehammer to nail the door shut.
If you don't want to come out, then don't come out at all. Just stay inside forever!
Bang bang bang!
Since she was already done it, Song Li decided to nail the windows shut as well.
He was so angry that she jumped up and down in the room, cursing: "You little bitch, how dare you treat your elders and your brother like this? Be careful, may you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
But they didn't have the courage to climb out the window and confront him.
Actually, she could do it; Song Li couldn't nail all the windows shut at the same time.
Song Li ignored him and kept nailing.
This morning, I was busy helping people and calling a doctor, then I had a big argument with the He family. I didn't get anything done and wasted my time.
It can be said that they got up very early, arrived late, and missed everything.
She's still angry!
Niu San, clutching his injured shoulder, went to the village head's house to complain but failed. He then came to the Song family to ask for some compensation. When he arrived at the gate, he saw Song Li's fierce stance as he swung his hammer. He was so frightened that he shrank back and fled in panic.
She's gone mad! Song Daya has completely lost her mind!
Just as Song Li finished hammering in the last nail, Mingyue, who looked like an old woman even without disguise, arrived at the door carrying gifts.
She had come to find Song Li on behalf of her master.
However, she didn't say that outright. She only expressed her gratitude to Song Li for saving her "son" that morning and for going to great lengths to fetch a doctor from town.
"I am deeply grateful for your kind help today, young lady. This small gift is just a token of my appreciation. Please do not find it offensive."
She handed over the gift, which was two smoked sausages.
Song Li took it and saw that it was cooked. She could just boil it in water until it was soft when she wanted to eat it, which was very convenient, and she liked it.
Although there are many supplies in the space, they will eventually run out in a day.
Song Li smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
A pair of sweet dimples spread across her cheeks as she smiled, and in the sunlight, her clear, bright black eyes, seemingly filled with starlight, shone brightly, making her radiant and beautiful.
Unaware that Song Li had already recognized her master's true identity, Mingyue began to "introduce herself."
They said they were from Nanzhou County, but their hometown was flooded this year, so the whole family fled and only arrived in Qingliu Village yesterday.
She uses the same excuse with everyone else.
Song Li listened calmly, not taking it seriously, but also not being foolish enough to expose her.
Seeing through something but not saying it is a basic quality of a social person.
