Gu Erniu helped Gu Lili up and let her lean against the headboard.
Gu Huanhuan very considerately fed the pancake to Gu Lili's mouth.
Having lived for so many years, this was the first time Gu Lili had ever experienced hunger.
Looking at the eggs and pancakes in front of her, Gu Lili could no longer resist taking a big bite.
Because she ate too quickly, Gu Lili started coughing violently.
Gu Sigou quickly ran to the water vat, scooped up a bowl of water, and fed it to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili took a few big gulps of water before she could catch her breath.
Just as they were about to continue eating the pancakes, they noticed that Gu Siniu and Gu Huanhuan were staring at the pancakes in their hands, swallowing their saliva.
Although Gu Erniu didn't look, he still swallowed hard.
Gu Lili sighed again.
This family is really too poor.
My three younger siblings haven't had a proper meal in a long time.
Gu Lili divided the palm-sized pancake and egg into four portions and handed them to her younger brother and sister.
"Eat up." Gu Lili ate a bite of food and drank some water, and her strength recovered considerably.
Although the three of them had rumbling stomachs from hunger, none of them reached out to take it.
"Sister, you eat, so you can get on your way." Gu Erniu said, choking back tears.
Gu Lili couldn't take it anymore and gave Gu Erniu a hard flick on the forehead.
"Who said I was going on a journey? Your mother entrusted you to me. You're all still young. Where am I supposed to go? Hurry up and feed me!"
Gu Erniu covered his head and cried.
The older sister has the strength to hit herself, so she probably won't be on the road for now...
Without giving them a chance to argue, Gu Lili stuffed the prepared pancakes and eggs into the hands of the three of them and made sure they ate them.
Gu Lili ate the small piece of cake in her hand and drank a few sips of water before her strength slowly returned.
This pancake was the most unpalatable thing Gu Lili had ever eaten in her life, but at the same time it was also the most precious thing she had ever eaten.
In the original owner's memory, although it was not a year of famine, the families in the village were not well-off.
In this kind of world, the fact that Aunt Zhang and Grandma Yang would give eggs and pancakes to the Gu siblings is enough to show that they are kind people.
Looking at her younger siblings' thin clothes, Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh again.
Fortunately, it's early spring now, so it's not too cold.
Otherwise, they would freeze to death.
Their mother, Li Xihua, died of starvation and freezing last winter.
The barren land was already infertile and could not grow much grain, so Li Xihua saved her food rations for her four children.
Adding to the cold, she gave all her clothes to her children, and when she died, she was only wearing a thin, tattered summer garment.
Moreover, as he was dying, he instructed Gu Lili to take off his clothes and leave them for them to keep warm, and to have the four siblings wrap him in a straw mat and bury him.
Recalling this, Gu Lili couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Parents' hearts are truly full of love and concern, but she does not agree with this approach.
Gu Lili secretly vowed that since she had transmigrated, she would live well for Gu Lili and complete the task given to her by Li Xihua.
She took care of her younger siblings as they grew up.
In my past life, I was an all-around blogger who could make anything.
Even in this impoverished mountain village, they shouldn't starve to death.
Just as Gu Lili was immersed in the original owner's memories, a loud bang came from the courtyard gate, and the four siblings looked in the direction of the sound.
It turns out that Gu Chuan and his second aunt have returned.
Not only these two, but also Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu joined them this time.
Seeing the murderous glares from the four men, Gu Lili narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with coldness.
The old man and woman Gu were notorious for their favoritism. Just because Gu Chuan had a son who was good at studying, they became even more biased towards their second son.
Gu Lili's father, Gu Shan, died in battle and was given a ten-tael pension, which the two of them snatched and gave to Gu Chuan.
They also kicked the mother and her five children out of the Gu family, euphemistically calling it a family division.
However, they were only given one acre of wasteland to the mother and her five children.
"You brat, how did you come back to life! How are we going to make money from this?!" Old Mrs. Gu said, rolling her eyes.
Gu Lili said, "If you want to make money, why don't you die?"
Grandma Gu looked at Gu Lili in disbelief. This brat had never dared to speak to her like that before.
"What did you say?" Old Mrs. Gu exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Lili's voice was icy cold. "I said, why don't you just die!"
"You little brat, you've really gone too far! You even dare to talk back to your own grandmother!" Old Mrs. Gu cursed and was about to rush over to hit Gu Lili.
Gu Erniu quickly stepped in front of Gu Lili.
Gu Chuan was just chased by Gu Erniu with a wood-chopping knife, which made him lose face in front of the neighbors.
Now that Gu Erniu no longer had a knife, Gu Chuan stepped forward and knocked Gu Erniu to the ground.
He raised his hand and slapped Gu Erniu across the face. "You little brat, you tried to chop me up just now. See how I deal with you!"
"Second brother, let go of my second brother!" Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou cried in fear.
But Aunt Gu blocked their way, shouting, "You two bastards, don't you dare move, or I'll beat you both too!"
Gu Lili watched her younger brother being beaten, her eyes turning bloodshot. She jumped out of bed and looked around for a suitable weapon.
Unfortunately, the family was too poor, and after looking around, they couldn't find anything of any practical use.
The knife from earlier was also placed outside the door by Gu Erniu.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Old Mrs. Gu grabbed Gu Lili, intending to give her a good beating.
Gu Lili instinctively dodged, her frail body clearly no match for Old Madam Gu.
Having dodged the attack, Gu Lili quickly jumped onto the stool next to her and stood there, leaving Grandma Gu somewhat bewildered by her strange action.
However, he was clearly not satisfied because he hadn't hit Gu Lili, so he adjusted his direction and raised his hand to hit Gu Lili again.
Seeing Grandma Gu charging towards her with a ferocious expression, Gu Lili raised one foot and delivered a quick kick, which landed squarely on Grandma Gu's chin.
Because of the significant height difference and her lack of stamina, the kick only caused Grandma Gu to take a few steps back, but it did not knock her down.
If this were her past life, Gu Lili would be sure she could kick Old Madam Gu's front teeth out with one kick.
Even so, everyone in the room was stunned by Gu Lili.
Even Gu Chuan, who was still hitting Gu Erniu, stopped.
The two children stopped crying and stared at their older sister in disbelief.
That older sister was so cool just now.
Grandma Gu was the first to speak up, "Oh dear, how dare you hit your own grandmother? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Gu Lili said coldly, "Who do you think you are to me? My grandmother died long ago! You just married into the Gu family later!"
"You old fool, look at your own granddaughter saying such disrespectful things, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
