"Pingping hasn't eaten yet!"
Zhou Anan was very anxious when she saw the eggs in Su Man's hand, fearing that if she took them away, Pingping would have nothing to eat.
Zhou Pingping had regretted it long ago and didn't say anything stupid again.
Su Man looked at Zhou Pingping, who still had a proud look on her face, and said calmly, "She said so herself. If she wants to thank me, then she won't eat it."
"She's not, she's..."
Zhou Anan stamped her feet anxiously, "Pingping is just talking in anger."
Su Man didn't give Zhou Pingping eggs just because he said that. Instead, she said meaningfully, "I don't say angry words here. What I say is what I mean. Since you just said you don't want to eat it, you can't go back on your word."
If it were peacetime, she could slowly influence them with warmth, but now, there are crises everywhere. If they continue to act capriciously at this time, it may cause more serious consequences.
So the first lesson Suman told them was that they should be responsible for their own words and actions.
Zhou Anan fell silent after hearing what Su Man said. Instead, Zhou Pingping was enraged. "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat! You vicious woman, you starved me and didn't let me eat. When my father and uncles come back, you'll be dead!"
Zhou Pingping thought she could scare Su Man, but Su Man was amused. "Since I'm going to die, why should I take you with me? Why not just throw you away? Then your father and uncles won't know I starved you?"
"I..."
Zhou Pingping choked.
"So, next time you say something harsh to scare someone, first check if you have the guts to do it. Otherwise, it will only irritate the enemy and have no effect."
Zhou Pingping was knocked out. She was so angry that she kept muttering to Zhou Anan on the way, saying how vicious and annoying Su Man was.
Zhou Anan also understood this point deeply, but he still advised Zhou Pingping not to compete with Su Man anymore, otherwise it would be the end of her if she was sold again.
Zhou Pingping was not convinced. Wang Man had been lazy and ate a lot for so many years. If her father had not been arrested, how could she have been bullied like this?
She looked at Du Yuan walking in front of her and thought to herself, it would be great if she could travel with Uncle Du.
Uncle Du has a good temper, gives her food, and even peels eggs for her. Following Uncle Du is a thousand times better than following that evil woman.
As soon as she told Zhou Anan about her idea, Zhou Anan disagreed and said, "Uncle Du has no relationship with us, how could he be willing to take us with him?"
"Of course not. Uncle Du is such a good person. As long as we are sensible and can help Uncle Du, he will definitely agree."
Zhou Anan felt it was unreliable, but Zhou Pingping was full of energy. She ran to Du Yuan and said, "Uncle Du, are you tired of carrying the luggage? Do you want me to hold it for you?"
Du Yuan didn't know what Zhou Pingping was thinking, so he smiled and said, "No, just walk steadily."
"Hey, thank you, uncle."
Zhou Pingping glared at Su Man behind her. That evil woman would never say such caring words to them.
At this moment, there was another person glaring at Su Man, the hungry Qin Mosheng.
When Su Man and the others were eating eggs, Qin Mosheng didn't go over, but he kept eavesdropping on them. Hearing that Su Man had left an egg, he felt a little relieved. Needless to say, it must be for him.
But no matter how he hinted along the way, Su Man remained indifferent.
Qin Mosheng finally couldn't bear it any longer as his empty stomach growled again and again. He took the initiative to tell Su Man, "I haven't eaten for almost a day, and my stomach hurts so much right now."
"oh."
Su Man didn't react and continued to walk towards the woods where they abandoned Grandma Zhou.
Hinting didn't work, so Qin Mosheng simply stated, "Just now, were there any eggs to eat?"
"ah?"
Su Man pretended to be surprised, "You want to eat Brother Du's eggs."
"Keep your voice down!"
Qin Mosheng felt that opening his mouth to eat was extremely embarrassing and he didn't want anyone else to hear it.
But Su Man refused to follow his wishes. She said loudly, "But the eggs belong to Big Brother Du. You have to ask Big Brother Du before you can eat them."
Du Yuan turned around when he heard the voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Mosheng tried to cover up his embarrassment by wiping his sweat with his sleeves and hiding his face.
Su Man kindly answered for him, "He said he was hungry and wanted to ask you for the egg."
The two exchanged glances, and Du Yuan said coldly, "Giving it to the elderly, children, women, and children is fine, but as a man, how can you just beg from others without doing anything? You should go find it yourself first."
Qin Mosheng always thought highly of himself, but after being criticized by Du Yuan without any clear reason, his face turned pale, and he never mentioned eating again.
It's getting dark
Su Man and his companions stopped at a hillside. It might be dangerous to continue traveling at this time, so they found a place sheltered from the wind nearby as their resting place for the night.
Perhaps they were too hungry, so they all rested and Qin Mosheng went out to find food again.
It was fortunate that he was able to find some thatch roots.
He peeled off the skin and chewed and sucked greedily. The light sweet taste was so delicious that he felt like he had found a treasure. He even tied a small bundle to take back.
Having never done farm work before, his weaving was crooked, and his hands were sore from digging, so his posture was very awkward.
It was still a bit hot during the day, but it became cooler at night.
Su Man and a few others burned firewood to keep warm. Zhou Pingping changed her behavior from noon and helped Du Yuan with running around, sometimes blowing out sparks for him, sometimes passing him branches, very attentively.
Su Man saw it and roughly understood what Zhou Pingping was thinking. She just found it funny.
