Chapter 034: Prepare for a Rainy Day
Mo Nanzhou was furious and shouted, "You ungrateful bastards! Whose meal did you eat this morning?"
The porridge man replied: "We don't know either. The official only gave us this much rice..."
"Why did the official only give so much rice when my sister-in-law was cooking, but you guys were able to eat your fill?!" Mo Minglei also went to help.
The porridge vendor was also very helpless: "This is just one bowl per person, we didn't know that we could only feed half of the people."
"Don't even think about eating a single bite from us from now on! You are such a scumbag!" Mo Nanzhou was furious.
"Mr. Zhou, if you don't mind, I'll give you my porridge. I've received a favor, so how can I not return the favor?" A burly man took the porridge after taking a sip.
The man's name was Yu Tiannan. He knew some martial arts and was sentenced to exile after seriously injuring someone during a fight.
Mo Nanzhou felt better after hearing what he said, so he said, "Thank you, big brother. You can have the porridge! My family can't even have a bowl. We have to find a way ourselves."
The two people who often stayed with Yu Tiannan also stood up and offered to have some porridge, but were both rejected by Mo Nanzhou.
He went to the escort first, and the escort said that he could give him hard bread, but he would definitely not give him rice. He could only take the bread and take it back.
Seeing him come back with a bitter face, Feng Aoqing raised an eyebrow at him.
What is this? Do you know? Mo Nanzhou shuddered.
That's right! Who is our sister-in-law? There must be a way.
Feng Aoqing winked at him again, and the two of them walked out of the cave.
There is a small pond behind the cave, formed by the stream flowing down from the mountain. However, there has been heavy rain in the past two days, so the pond is full of water.
Mo Mingyuan and Tian Ying'er were standing by the pond, waving at them.
"No way!" Mo Nanzhou quickly threw away his shoes and ran over.
Mo Beiyuan was quick to act and grabbed Baoer with one hand, otherwise they would have run away too.
"Just watch here. The rain has started again. You'll get gonorrhea. Your mother will be worried." He said to the two treasures.
The two babies could only stand at the entrance of the cave and jump.
When Mo Nanzhou walked over, he saw a bamboo basket in the water. It was the one he had been carrying before, but it was empty in the morning.
Feng Aoqing asked Mo Mingyuan to use a bamboo basket to catch fish. He was wondering how to catch them. It turned out that Feng Aoqing made a fish trap when she asked someone to make the bamboo basket, so that it could serve two purposes.
Hang some bait on a bamboo basket, seal the mouth and put it in the water, then you can catch fish.
"Miss Tian, please move aside and let me do the heavy work." Mo Nanzhou started again.
Tian Ying'er smiled and stepped aside: "Don't fail to lift it again, there are plenty of fish!"
"No way! Hey!"
This time he picked it up and screamed with joy when he saw so many fish, big and small.
Floods appeared on the mountain, the stream rose, and the water flowed faster, washing all the small fish and shrimps into the pool.
"Go play! The rain has stopped again." Feng Aoqing said to the two anxious Bao'er.
The two babies ran so fast, just like being catapulted out. I have never had so much fun playing since I was a child.
"Pack it up and bring it back!" She said to the people who were having fun.
"How can you gentlemen clean it up? Let me do it!" Yan Xiuxiu took An Jinge's knife and went to help clean the fish.
Mo Mingyuan was afraid that the two children would fall into the pond, so he asked Tian Ying'er to bring them back.
When they came back, one of them was holding a small crab in his hand, and the other was holding a small shrimp in his hand, and they went to show them to the grandmother happily.
"My star baby, how can you be so powerful? Don't get your hands pinched!" Qin Lancui said with a smile.
"Grandma, I have roasted my shrimps for you to eat!" Yuebao held up the shrimps in his hand, the heads of which were about to be pinched off, and showed them to Qin Lancui.
"You've broken it into pieces, how can you eat it? Just play! Play!" Qin Lancui took a handkerchief and wiped the water off her face.
The two babies were bored playing in the house, so they showed off for a while and then ran away.
Chen Yilan sneered, "How can they still be considered Shi family children? In just a few days, they've been raised like two wild children by her."
"That's right! When Xingbao and Yuebao were in the mansion, they were such well-behaved and polite children. Now, alas..." Second aunt Fang Nianqiao also hurriedly added.
"I think it's a good idea. Isn't that how children should be?!" Qin Lancui retorted.
After grandma spoke, the other two stopped talking.
Feng Aoqing borrowed two pots, one for cooking porridge and the other for cooking fish soup. The rice was bought by Mo Nanzhou yesterday, and she took some out from the space.
After a while, the delicious aroma of fish soup wafted out of the cave.
The other prisoners began to salivate unconsciously. Some of them tried to catch fish with their bare hands, but they didn't catch a single shrimp.
There were quite a lot of fish. Feng Aoqing grilled two of them until they were sizzling with oil and gave them as a gift to a few escorts.
"It's not enough for me to eat, and I still give it to others!" Mo Shuyuan was a little dissatisfied.
"If you feel it's not enough, you can catch it yourself." Feng Aoqing replied immediately.
"Yuan'er, we are prisoners now. Your sister-in-law did this to prevent us from being beaten less. Do you understand?" Qin Lancui joined in.
Chen Yilan was surprised to find that in addition to her son, her mother-in-law now also stood on Feng Aoqing's side.
These fish are all river fish with a lot of bones, which are not suitable for children to eat. Feng Aoqing fried two pieces of cod in the space, mashed them and put them at the bottom of the two babies' bowls, then poured porridge and fish soup on them and let them eat first.
"Except for grandma, no one lifts a hand to work. One moment they wash the pots, the basins, and the dishes. If they don't wash them, then they won't think about the next meal, no matter if they are the younger or the older generation."
Feng Aoqing glanced at Chen Yilan and Mo Shuyuan who were sitting idly not far away, and walked over to them and said.
Everyone else took action, but they remained motionless.
Mo Shuyuan felt that washing and drying clothes had almost exhausted her to death, and now she was asked to wash the dishes. She wanted to cry and pretend to be sick, but when she thought of what happened yesterday, she had to hold it back.
Everyone had a bowl of porridge and some fish and meat. Seeing the meat, I felt that it was the best meal I had eaten in recent days.
Feng Aoqing also ate last. She brought a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Sun Lingzhu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the second house.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Sun Lingzhu was a little surprised.
"If you don't eat some nourishing food, I'm afraid your milk will stop flowing. Where will you get food for Ruier then?" Feng Aoqing's tone and attitude were not good, but her heart was good.
She had insufficient milk to begin with, and there was a wet nurse in the mansion. Now she was the only one there, and she was feeding her son with great difficulty. Sun Lingzhu had noticed in the past two days that her son was having more and more difficulty eating, so he bit her hard and made her bleed.
"Did it get bitten?"
Sun Lingzhu felt a lump in his throat and started to cry.
"Here, this is medicine. Apply it when you're not feeding. It will heal faster."
Feng Aoqing handed another box of medicine to Sun Lingzhu.
Sun Lingzhu took a look and saw that it was a box for rouge, the kind used by ordinary people. Normally, she would not even look at such things, but now she regarded it as a treasure.
"Hurry up and drink the soup! I served it first. It has less salt in it, so don't worry."
When Sun Lingzhu wiped her tears, Feng Aoqing had already left.
She had just gone to add more porridge to the children when she heard the second wife crying.
