Chapter 58 Why not give the Chen family porridge?
Upon hearing this, You Cha Tou looked at the two of them, and finally his gaze fell on Jun Moye.
"Does Master Jun also agree with the young lady giving out porridge?"
Jun Moye looked at You Cha and spoke.
"It's not the Jun family who's giving out porridge. They're exchanging firewood for porridge from You Chatou."
You Chatou naturally understood what these two people meant. They wanted him to step forward and exchange the porridge so that no one would deliberately use this to cause trouble for the Jun family.
You Chatou picked up the wine gourd and took another sip.
"Okay, it's cold, I'll go to your Su family and warm myself by the fire."
When Su Han first saw that he agreed, she looked at him with a hesitant look, as if she wanted to say something.
Yu Chatou spoke upon seeing this.
"When did Madam Jun become like this? She hesitates and doesn't say anything."
Su Hanchu then spoke.
"Captain You, in the current situation, any food is very precious. I took out the remaining rice because I felt compassion for those mothers with children. However, I will not share my things generously with the Chen and Fang families. I am not willing to exchange them for my things."
Yu Chatou was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Since the porridge was cooked by your Jun family, then Madam Jun will replace it herself. It's up to you who you want to replace it with. I'll be watching with the escorts. If anyone tries to cause trouble, I'll use the whip in my hand."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"Thank you very much, Youchatou."
Then a few people walked towards Jun's house.
Liu Shan and others had already boiled water in several pots.
Jun Moye invited You Chatou to sit down and warm himself by the fire.
Su Hanchu went to the sled and opened the rice bag. When he was packing up this morning, Su Hanchu took the rice bag from the box and put it in the sled. Then some clothes and supplies from the Jun family were also in it. Once the storage bag was closed, no one knew what was inside.
Su Hanchu took a bowl and scooped a bowl of rice into a pot, then scooped another bowl into the second pot.
Liu Shan looked at the two bowls of rice gone and spoke with some heartache and confusion.
"Young Madam, what are you doing......"
Su Hanchu said as he stirred the pot.
"It's too cold. Change some firewood."
Then he took a few pieces of ginger from the bag and put them into the pot, and poured some salt into it. People always need a little salt to have strength.
Looking at the people in the cave, Su Hanchu knew that two pots of porridge might not be enough, so he asked Uncle Liu to borrow a pot from the second room of the Fang family and cook them together.
You Chatou looked at the three pots of porridge that were cooking. There was indeed a lot of rice in them, so he stood up and spoke loudly.
"We have all been trapped here for the past two days and have been unable to buy anything. The young lady of the Jun family was quite far-sighted and bought some rice.
Today you can go pick up some firewood. A small bundle of firewood or wild vegetables can be exchanged for half a bowl of porridge. In this icy and snowy weather, drinking half a bowl of hot porridge is also good. But I have to say this: if you exchange porridge for porridge, don't cause trouble for the Jun family, otherwise don't blame me for being rude with the whip in my hand.
When everyone heard this, a glimmer of hope appeared on their faces. With porridge, even half a bowl, they could survive.
"Let's go collect firewood now. The young lady is truly kindhearted..."
"I'll go too. I'll definitely pick up more..."
"Child, let's go collect some firewood. We'll have food soon."
Soon the porridge was cooked and someone came in with firewood.
Yu Chatou was indeed the one who organized the porridge exchange and personally brought the escort to make everyone line up.
This time, Su Hanchu prepared to serve a bowl of porridge to each escort.
The escorts were all men, and they usually ate some dry food. Only the escorts You and the others who were in charge of the Jun and Su families ate meat porridge or various hot meals sent by Su Hanchu.
Now everyone held their own bowl and asked Su Hanchu to serve them porridge.
Su Hanchu first served a bowl of porridge to Liu Shan and asked him to bring it to You Chatou, and then he smiled and served porridge to each escort.
"Ningcha head, be careful of the heat."
"Wancha's hair is hot."
"Hey, escort, be careful, it's hot."
Knowing that the escorts were all given porridge, Su Hanchu looked at Feng Cha standing aside with a gloomy face.
He scooped up a spoonful of porridge with a smile on his face.
"Captain Feng, although this porridge isn't thick enough, it's still hot. Please do me the honor of having a bowl to warm yourself up."
Although he hadn't eaten anything hot for two days, Feng Chatou finally walked forward with the bowl.
Su Hanchu poured the porridge into Feng Chatou's bowl with a smile on his face, as if there had never been any conflict in the past. He also considerately stretched out his left hand to support the bowl.
"Captain Feng, be careful, it's hot. If it's not enough, come get more."
Upon hearing this, Chief Feng glanced at her. Is this Madam Jun really so magnanimous that she doesn't care?
Then he took the porridge to the side and drank it slowly.
Su Hanchu began to change the porridge for others.
Everyone who lined up first handed the bundle of firewood to Liu Shan, and then went to Su Hanchu to receive the porridge.
Because there were so many people, Jun Moye was also exchanging porridge for another pot, while Jiang Like was sorting out the firewood handed over by others.
The porridge was being replaced in an orderly manner. When Jun Moye and Su Hanchu saw the women holding children, they filled a bowl for them, even though the firewood they had found was less than that of others.
The women holding the children had tears in their eyes, some even shed tears, and bent down to Su Hanchu while holding their children.
"Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."
Su Hanchu looked at them and said after hearing this.
"You are all very good mothers. While taking good care of your children, you must also take good care of yourselves. Only a mother can truly make plans for her children."
The woman understood that the young lady might have seen her feeding the child with her blood. Then she thought of the pots of porridge and saw that the porridge in the bowls of the mothers with children was thick. The woman took the child and left with the porridge.
But he had made up his mind that if he could survive this disaster, he would work like a slave when he arrived in the northwest to repay the young lady's kindness in giving him the bowl of porridge. If he had no more food, his child would not survive.
Su Hanchu continued to change the porridge. The spaces for the Jun and Su families were already filled with firewood, and then piled towards the outer edge.
Most of the people from the Chen family and the Fang family's main branch had troubled Su Hanchu before, and they were originally embarrassed to go forward to change the porridge, but when they saw that most people were drinking the porridge, they could even see from a distance that the porridge was almost gone.
Some people couldn't resist the temptation of porridge and came forward with a bowl and a bundle of firewood.
Liu Shan had already memorized everyone in the Chen family.
When the Chen family came over, they did not accept the firewood, but said something.
"There's not enough porridge. I won't change it."
The woman was holding a child, panicked and angry.
"Why not? I've already brought the firewood. Everyone else is doing it, but I have a child with me."
When Su Han first saw that the Chen family was trying to blackmail him morally, he spoke directly in a cold voice.
"The porridge of the Jun family is exchanged for people to drink, not for animals. We will not exchange it with the Chen family and the Fang family's eldest house."
The other members of the Chen family also came over with firewood, but when they heard that they were not allowed to exchange it, they were all furious.
"The captain said we can exchange firewood for porridge with the Jun family. Why won't your Jun family exchange it with our Chen family?"
