Chapter 54 Trouble Comes Again
Without even thinking about it, I knew that the Chen family must be causing trouble again.
Jun Moye's eyes were deep and dark, and there seemed to be an invisible flame brewing in them, and the aura on his body also became a little sharper.
He threw the wood in his hand heavily to the ground.
"Is the Chen family living too comfortably, or too idle? They have to come to someone else's territory to make things difficult for themselves."
The originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.
Chen Siting looked at Jun Moye and bowed hypocritically.
"Cousin, we're not here to cause trouble. It's just that when my uncle passed away, my cousin's wife promised to treat everyone to a meat meal. It's been several days now. Shouldn't you, the Jun family, keep your word? This is what you promised all of us."
When Jun Linfeng's death was mentioned, Jun Moye's aura became even colder, his expression became somewhat ferocious, and he spoke with a smile that turned out to be an act of rage.
"Well, what a Chen family! They really know how to kick someone when he's down..."
Su Hanchu held his hand tightly.
"Chen Siyu, I did make a promise to everyone. I, Su Hanchu, will never deny that. At that time, I said that everyone would have meat to eat within half a month. It's only been a few days, why are you so anxious?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Siting spoke while holding her handkerchief.
"Cousin, it's not that Siting is anxious, it's just that everyone has had a very hard time along the way. Another person just died. If you don't keep your promise, I'm afraid more and more people will die without even having a sip of hot soup."
Zhou Xuewei walked to Su Hanchu and looked at Chen Siting.
"Miss Chen Er, you are much more calm and steady than your sister, but you can't change your pretentious behavior. Since our Han Chu has promised, he will naturally do it. The time is not even half over yet, Miss Chen Er should stop worrying about it and take care of your own family."
Chen Siting pulled the clothes of a girl next to her.
The girl looked at Su Hanchu and spoke cautiously.
“But we have all been starving and cold for a long time, and many of us are almost unable to hold on. We can hardly even get a sip of hot water, while the Su and Jun families can eat meat every day.
Since you can eat meat, why don't you fulfill your promise? Do you want to wait until we all starve to death so that you can save the meat?"
Su Hanchu looked at her.
"You are from the Fang family, right?"
The girl heard this and spoke with her handkerchief in her hand.
"So what? You promised me that. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble."
Su Hanchu sneered and spoke.
"Whether you are deliberately looking for trouble or not, you know better than anyone else that the desolate mountains and wilderness here are all covered with snow, and everyone eats the steamed bread distributed by the higher-ups.
Our Jun family only has a little rice that we exchanged before, and we dug the mushrooms ourselves under the snow. You don't have the ability to find food, so you blame your incompetence on others.
I know what I promised myself, better than anyone else. You, the Chen and Fang families, better not try to cause trouble. If you make me angry, next time I can buy something, I'll treat everyone to meat, but I won't treat you, the Chen and Fang families. What can you do about it?"
Chen Siting was so angry that her face changed.
"Cousin, are you trying to cheat?"
Su Hanchu looked at her coldly when he heard that.
"Don't randomly recognize relatives. I feel a little sick when you call me cousin-in-law. We agreed that I would definitely do it within half a month. You just wait. It's only been a few days, and we're in the middle of nowhere. Are you deliberately causing trouble?"
Chen Siting spoke with tears in her eyes when she heard this.
"Cousin, we are all really starving. There is really no other way. Please be kind and fulfill your promise. Cousin, if you fulfill your promise, you can save many dying people!"
As soon as Chen Siting finished speaking, someone in the crowd spoke up.
"Madam Su, we are not here to cause trouble. After all, you promised us that we would remember it. In this way, we don't have to eat meat. Just give me a bowl of the porridge you guys are having tonight. Consider it as your treat for me."
Another person also spoke hurriedly.
"Yes, Madam Jun, we don't want meat. We just want a bowl of porridge. Our child is too hungry to walk. Please have mercy on the child."
Su Hanchu's gaze lingered in the crowd. There were many elderly people, some women who looked very weak, and others were mothers holding their children.
The children leaned weakly in their mothers' arms, with their heads concentrated and no spirit in their eyes, like a song hit by frost, dull and muffled.
Jun Moye was afraid that she would agree out of concern for the child, so he held her hand tightly and looked at those people and spoke.
"We, the Jun family, will certainly fulfill our promises, but the current situation does not allow us to fulfill our promises. Why don't you return to your own places first? When we go to the next town to purchase supplies, we, the Jun family, will buy some meat and treat you to a meal."
Everyone did not leave after hearing this.
Chen Siting winked at several women holding children.
Several ladies hurriedly knelt down in front of Su Hanchu and Jun Moye.
"Master Jun, Madam Jun, please be kind and give us half a bowl of porridge instead of one bowl at a time."
The old men also knelt down one after another.
"Master Jun, Madam Jun, please keep your promise. We really can't bear it any longer. Just give us anything.
We are afraid we will not survive to eat this meat. Our old bones are no longer able to bear it. Please be kind and let us have something to eat before we die."
Su Hanchu looked at the huge crowd of people kneeling. There might be more than just people from the Fang and Chen families among them. Tonight, the escort had given everyone a steamed bun. These people might have had their food snatched away, or they just couldn't bear to eat it and gave it to their children at home.
But he was so hungry that he had no choice but to follow Chen Siting to cause trouble. Su Hanchu took out a wine jug from his cloak and put it in Jun Moye's hand, and spoke in a low voice.
"Send this to Youchatou."
Then he looked at the crowd.
"We are all exiled, and life is tough for everyone. Don't let others take advantage of you. You've gotten to know me, Su Hanchu, a bit along the way.
If you don't come and cause trouble for us, I will naturally fulfill my promise when we get to town. If you insist on making trouble here, don't blame me, Su Hanchu, for being rude."
