“I didn’t drink his mung bean soup, and he can’t eat my family’s food.”
"Mom, don't be unreasonable. How much can a little child eat?"
"Even a bite of food is food, and a bite of food can save a life in a famine year. We just can't let him eat it!"
Zhao Shi'an kept a straight face and didn't say anything, which made Fang Qing feel sorry for him. She held Zhao Shi'an's hand and protected him behind her back.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Do you think Zhao Shi'an cares?"
"Zhao Shi'an, let's go."
Fang Qing grabbed Zhao Shi'an and ran out, but Fang Daniu called out to them twice without them turning around.
"Hmph, never come back," the old woman continued to mutter.
Fang Daniu had been working all day and couldn't control his emotions.
"Why are you making things difficult for a child? I really don't know how you can be so sharp-tongued."
"You insulted me? You, Fang Daniu, who gave birth to you and raised you? How dare you treat me like this? You can forget about eating today, get out."
Fang Daniu was furious. He slammed down his chopsticks, got up, and went back to his room. Zhao didn't dare to say anything, but took some vegetables into the west room.
Meanwhile, Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an went home.
Fortunately, Fang Qing always brought some food when she came over, so they didn't go hungry.
Fang Qing was worried about Zhao Shi'an's feelings, so she didn't rush to leave after finishing her meal.
She sat on Zhao Shi'an's small bed, feeling drowsy after a long day.
Zhao Shi'an quickly washed up in the yard and returned to the house to find the person already lying on his bed.
Fang Qing was asleep, still wearing her shoes.
Zhao Shi'an frowned, walked over, and nudged Fang Qing's shoulder.
"Get up, wash yourself clean before you get into my bed."
Fang Qing simply turned over and went back to sleep, her shoes already rubbing against the sheets.
Zhao Shi'an's brow twitched as he looked at her, and he quickly took it off for her.
Fang Qing took a shower after returning from the wheat field in the afternoon. She wasn't actually dirty, but Zhao Shi'an still felt she wasn't clean, so he found a handkerchief, soaked it, and wiped her hands and feet.
Fang Qing slept very restlessly this time. She dreamed about the villain Zhao Shi'an again, and this time Fang Dashu was also in the dream.
The two men tortured and murdered people without mercy, which woke Fang Qing up.
It was still dark outside, and Zhao Shi'an was sleeping soundly beside him.
Fang Qing took two heavy breaths, crawled to Zhao Shi'an's side, and hugged him.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
She mumbled herself back to sleep, but Zhao Shi'an was startled awake and happened to hear her words.
What a fool, trying to protect him even while he's asleep.
But why do I feel so full inside? It's like I've finally been warmed by someone.
Without Fang Qing being aware of anything, a notification popped up in the system.
[Zhao Shi'an's villain value has been reduced by 1, currently at 94. You will receive 10 days of lifespan and an additional 400 points as a reward.]
