Chapter 018: It’s okay to eat poisonous mushrooms, I just want to ask you if you are angry
Li Mumu really wanted to give a thumbs up to her third uncle. She originally just wanted to irritate the Gu family and see their true nature exposed due to hunger, but she didn't expect to get an unexpected gain!
In fact, she didn't care whether she followed the Gu family or not, but she hoped that her mother and brothers could escape from their clutches as soon as possible. After all, if she stayed in the Li family, the Li family would only suffer.
"Uncle Three, where are mother and brothers?"
Gu Mingjing looked at Li Yuan without thinking, "Mumu is right. I don't think the children can have a good life with you. Why not send them all here?"
"No!" Li Yuan blurted out, "They are my wife and children. How can they go to your Gu family? What will happen if the news gets out? Don't even think about it."
Li Mumu sneered in her heart, thinking that does not mean she is no longer a descendant of the Li family?
She did want to.
However, she noticed that when Li Yuan was talking, Lin Siyan had been secretly glancing in this direction, especially when she heard her scumbag father say that he would not let her mother go back, her face changed.
That’s right, there is no mistress who doesn’t want to take over and replace the boss.
It seems that in order to keep my mother away from my scumbag father, I need the help of the mistress.
Gu Mingjing was young and full of energy after all. "My sister really made a mistake in choosing the right person."
It’s not that he doesn’t want to fight for it anymore, but he doesn’t want to make things difficult for his sister. Otherwise, why would he have to go through so much trouble?
"Then may I take my sister and nephews back home for a meal, is that okay?" Gu Mingjing asked.
Li Yuan frowned, but agreed.
However, Li Mumu took a secret look, and after he returned, he started whispering with Lin Siyan. The two of them were talking very excitedly, with saliva flying everywhere.
Li Fenghua was not very old, and when he saw the fish and mushrooms over there, his mouth was watering with fragrance. "Grandma, I want to eat some too."
"Eat, eat, eat. Eat and you will die. Do you want to die?" Old Mrs. Li said viciously, and then cursed the Gu family members who were satisfied with the meal in her heart.
Li Mumu was thinking about sending some to the yamen runners. No matter how much she hated it in her heart, she had to do it on the surface.
Unexpectedly, my second aunt-in-law is not only a great cook, but also an expert in socializing. She has already sent a bowl over.
Come to think of it, if there hadn't been any offerings to the yamen runners, how could the meal have been so peaceful?
However, just as Zhang Xiang was about to eat the delicious fish, Li Rong walked over and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhang Xiang put down the bowl and stared at the people from the Gu family, as if thinking about something.
Before she knew it, her bowl was filled with fish meat, but even so, everyone kept putting food into her bowl.
"This fish is really delicious, with few bones. I don't know what kind of fish it is, but why have I never eaten it before?" Zhang Yi said, "We can eat such delicious food thanks to Mumu."
"Come, eat more." Zhang Yi said softly.
Gu Mingyu looked at his gentle wife and found joy in the midst of hardship. "When you're hungry, bran tastes as sweet as honey. When you're full, honey isn't sweet at all. Look over there. We're lucky to be able to eat these."
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that this was Li Mumu's credit, and this way, Gu Yuru would no longer have to be so restrained when taking care of her sons.
Seeing everyone happy, Li Mumu thought of the rainstorm and said loudly, "I'm full. I want to watch ants move."
"Ants moving?" Gu Jian's expression darkened. "Mumu, did you see the ants moving?"
Li Mumu pointed to the distance and said, "Over there, there are so many ants, all climbing up the tree."
Gu Jian took a deep breath. He had a lot of experience in marching and fighting. "Madam, aren't we going to rest somewhere with people tonight? We should prepare some things then."
Old Madam Gu nodded without asking. The couple had been together for most of their lives, supporting each other. He respected her, and she trusted her.
Li Mumu really didn’t understand. With such good examples like grandpa and grandma, and even the marriage between her eldest uncle and second uncle was good, why did her mother become so love-brained?
"Mumu said he saw ants moving. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. We are a family, young and old, and Yun Chao's injuries haven't healed yet. If we get caught in the rain, the consequences will be disastrous. We may not be able to find a suitable place on the road."
Madam Gu smiled and said, "Even if you didn't tell me, I was planning to buy some. I can see that giving them some benefits doesn't make things difficult for us. So we can buy some food and daily necessities. I heard that the north is bitterly cold and people have to wear cotton clothes to get by."
"It seems I've been too talkative."
Madam Gu glared at him, and everyone laughed.
Seeing that the Gu family had been eating for a while but had no reaction, Li Rong couldn't help but whisper, "Mom, why is there no movement? Could you be seeing things?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Don't worry, the time hasn't come yet. This time you saved Zhangtou's life, and I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Li Rong curled her lips. If it wasn't for the survival of the child in her belly, she would never have given herself to a yamen runner.
This is her bargaining chip for turning things around in the future.
Seeing that her grandmother had already made a plan, Li Mumu stopped worrying about it. After all, buying Dongzi was just a show to make it easier for her to take out the stockpiled goods. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if she conjured something out of thin air, right?
Everyone had finished eating, and Li Mumu naturally saw the two crickets cooing at Li Jianan's house.
"It smells so good. I wonder if I can eat it again in the future!" said Gu Mingtang.
Li Mumu smiled and said, "Where there is water, there are fish, right?"
Gu Mingtang laughed, "Little Mumu is really interesting. Not all places with water have fish."
Li Mumu wanted to say that as long as she was there, there would be no worries about having no fish to eat.
But just when everyone was enjoying their meal and preparing to leave, Li Mumu gave everyone a wake-up call.
"Poisonous mushrooms are so delicious."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Zhan Yi was gentle and bookish, and said, "Mumu, what poisonous mushrooms? Did you eat any poisonous mushrooms?"
Li Mumu nodded, pointed to her own stomach, then pointed to everyone's stomach, "Grandma said the mushrooms we just ate are poisonous. Give them to grandpa and grandma."
Everyone's faces changed instantly.
"Are the mushrooms we eat poisonous?" Old Madam Gu was struck by lightning.
"What should we do?" Song Qiang's voice was split, "Why are you still asking us to eat poisonous mushrooms?"
Li Mumu was afraid that everyone would not believe her, so she nodded again, "Grandma said it's poisonous and will kill people if eaten. She said she won't eat it."
"How can this damn old woman be so cruel? Come on, see if there are any antidote pills." Song Qiang said.
Li Mumu was afraid that everyone was really scared, which was not her intention. "Second aunt, why didn't Mumu die? Mumu's stomach is warm and not painful."
Little Milk Ball's words also reminded everyone. Gu Jian said calmly: "Don't panic yet. Logically speaking, eating poisonous mushrooms should cause symptoms to appear by now. It seems that this mushroom is not poisonous."
"Then why did she say it was poisonous?" Song Qiang asked.
When everyone was silent, Gu Yuru said quietly, "She wants us to die."
