Chapter 13 Playing Rogue
After so long, the four people in the second room have long been accustomed to going hungry at noon.
Neither Cen Dahai nor Li thought there was anything wrong with this.
In the past, Cen Yan also accepted his fate.
But now, she felt that doing so was extremely stupid.
The children of the first and third wives were all plump and strong.
But looking at their second wife, not to mention that she herself looks a little pale and thin, Cen Yang is only six years old, at the age of growing up and eating, but he is always hungry and very weak.
My father was wholeheartedly thinking about the entire Lao Cen family and making endless contributions, but he never thought about the suffering that his wife and children would suffer. What good would this really be for him in the end?
"Dad, Mom, Xiao Yang, I went up the mountain to cut grass and picked some wild fruits yesterday. You can try them." Hearing that her parents and younger brother's stomachs were rumbling and they could only drink cold water to fill their hunger, Cen Yan shook her head and took out the fruits she had picked in the space.
As soon as he saw the bright red fruit, Cen Yang's eyes immediately lit up and he swallowed hard.
But he didn't dare to go over to take it. He just glanced at Cen Yan cautiously, then turned his eyes away, as if he was trying hard to fight his hungry stomach.
Cen Yan knew that he was a little afraid of her, so she picked the largest fruit and put it into Cen Yang's hand.
"Xiao Yang, come and taste it to see if it's sweet. It's washed clean." She had washed it with spiritual spring water when she was in the space.
"...Thank you, sister." Cen Yang knew that as a man, he should have some backbone, but he was so hungry that he might as well bend and stretch for once. He immediately took the fruit and took a big bite.
The crisp fruit was so sweet that his eyes immediately narrowed in joy.
"Dad, Mom, you guys should try it too." Cen Yan took one for Cen Dahai and Li.
"Yan'er, what kind of fruit is this? Why have I never seen it before?" Li took it and asked puzzledly.
"This is called Naiguo. I found it in a remote place in the mountains." Cen Yan said nonsense.
In fact, from what she learned, this kind of fruit does not exist in this world.
There are several such fruit trees planted in her personal space.
"So that's how it is, it's really sweet!" Li believed it, took a bite, and immediately smiled sweetly.
Only Cen Dahai looked at her meaningfully.
He was much more knowledgeable than Li, and knew that this kind of fruit had never been sold in the market, and there were no such fruit trees in the mountains...
However, he didn't say anything and just started eating in silence.
When Cen Yan met his gaze, she became a little nervous, afraid that he would expose her and she would have to continue to cover up her lie.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She also took a fruit and started eating it.
For a moment, the two rooms were filled with the crisp sound of "crunching", the sound of biting fruit.
"Mom, this fruit is so delicious!" Cen Yang quickly finished one, smacked his lips, and said with a lingering feeling.
"Come on, Xiao Yang, have another one!" Cen Yan immediately gave him another one.
"...Thank you, sister." After she gave him the sweet fruit, Cen Yang's impression of this usually cold sister changed a lot. This time, his thanks were obviously much more sincere.
"Be good, you can't eat anymore after you finish this. If you eat too much, you might get diarrhea." Cen Yan touched his head. "Next time I go to the mountains to cut grass, I'll pick some other fruits for you! Anyway, I won't let you go hungry at noon in the future!"
"Yeah!" After hearing that he would no longer be hungry, Cen Yang immediately turned to Cen Yan with a big smile on his face and nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Cen Yan felt very satisfied.
Isn't the greatest use of having this portable space to allow you and your family to eat and drink well?
Seeing this scene, Li's eyes flashed with tenderness.
Cen Dahai looked at the two children who were getting along well with each other, then looked at Li who had a smile on her lips, and his eyes couldn't help but soften.
At this moment, the family of four felt very happy.
"Hey, what delicious food are you eating? Why don't you share it with us?" At this time, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Aunt Gao led the two children, followed by the younger aunt Cen Ying. Several of them stared at the bright red naiguo in Cen Yang's hand.
“Third brother, I usually remember you when I have something delicious. Now that you have something delicious, you should also remember me, right?” Gao’s second son Cen Lin said, taking big steps, two or three steps forward, and snatched the Naiguo from Cen Yang’s hand.
He opened his mouth and took a bite, tasting the flavor, and immediately shouted to Gao happily, "Mom! This fruit is so sweet! So crisp! So delicious!"
"Really? Aren't there still a lot? If it tastes good, let's eat more!" Gao looked at her son eating happily and her eyes narrowed with a smile.
As she spoke, she walked straight to the tattered square table in the room, raised her hand and took the remaining Naiguo, first gave one to Cen Ying, then handed one to her daughter Cen Meng, then she took two in each hand and was about to walk out.
She didn't even say hello, and just went there casually, as if she was taking something from her own room.
This arrogant and shameless behavior immediately made Li so angry that her heart ached.
Cen Yang was just enjoying his meal when the fruit in his hand was snatched away by his second brother, who was nine years older than him. The remaining fruit in the house was also taken away by his aunt...
This meant he couldn't eat it.
Cen Yang's emotions of sadness and grievance immediately burst out, his little mouth flattened, his little face raised, and he opened his mouth and burst into tears.
“Wow…”
When Cen Yang started crying, Gao paused.
But she then walked out again, without even thinking about the child crying, so she at least left a fruit to comfort the child!
"Stop!" Cen Yan took a long breath and shouted sternly.
"What? I can't even eat a few fruits?" Gao had to stop and turned her head with a sarcastic look on her face.
"Aunt, what you took away was the lunch for our second room." Cen Yan's pair of bright eyes were clear and calm, as if containing a power that was about to burst out. He looked at her slowly and spoke.
"Lunch? But I see, these are just a few fruits, not lunch at all, little sister, don't you think so?" Gao disagreed and smiled as she looked at Cen Ying who was eating the Nai fruit with a crunching sound.
"Yes, that's right." Cen Ying swallowed a mouthful of sweet fruit flesh, nodded, and took another bite.
"This is the lunch our second room uses to fill our stomachs. You can't take it away." Cen Yan frowned and emphasized, "According to the rules of the family, each room can only eat their own lunch and cannot eat other rooms'."
"Oh, lunch. Noon has passed and we have finished our meal. Besides, it is already this time. It is no longer lunch. It is no big deal for me to take a few fruits." Gao said shamelessly and was about to go out with the fruits.
