Chapter 128 Just prepare for a rainy day!
The second sister-in-law originally wanted to ask what the sauce that Ran Qingxuan gave when cooking fish was, but when she saw that Li Si refused to leave, she impatiently began to drive him away.
"Go, go, go, go somewhere cooler, or I'll punish you if you don't leave!"
Li Si felt embarrassed but was unwilling to leave like this. He put on a sad face and pretended to be pitiful, then walked up to the officials and bowed.
"Master, you have to help me. Ran Qingxuan is trying to harm us. The Gu family is too bullying..." As he said this, he forced out a few tears.
Bu Wei looked at her and felt annoyed. He picked his teeth and replied impatiently.
"Did Ran force your mother to pick up the fish?"
“No…No…”
"Did she force you to drink the fish soup?"
"without..."
"You have nothing to lose. Why are you looking for trouble here? You are asking for trouble and you want us to make the decision. You deserve it!"
Li Si was scolded so harshly that he felt embarrassed, but he didn't dare to leave.
While hesitating, Bu Fei kicked Li Si and said, "Get out of here, get out of here right now. If you dare to cause trouble again, you won't have any food tomorrow."
Li Si returned to his team with an embarrassed look on his face. He thought his family would come forward to comfort him for his behavior, but he didn't expect to be scolded by his father before he even sat down.
Her mother, Zhao Chunxiu, was the same. Her words were full of blame, fearing that her son would not have anything to eat tomorrow because of her behavior.
“You guys…you guys…”
After a few words, Li Si covered her face and ran towards the river. Everyone thought she was going to jump into the river, but she just ran to the river and sobbed quietly.
The Shang family, who were clearly trying to make friends with the Li family, were right next to them, and Mrs. Shang, He Qin, even walked over and whispered words of comfort.
Ran Qingxuan didn't know what the two of them talked about, and she didn't want to care, but she always felt that He Qin's presence there was not just for comfort.
After dinner, it was completely dark and cold at night. The men from the Chen and Xiao families went out to collect some firewood and came back, intending to make the fire burn brighter at night so that it would not be too cold in the second half of the night.
Ran Qingxuan originally wanted to tell Gu Yanchen about the big melon of the Li family that she had discovered earlier, but she didn't expect that she was called over by Bu Wei, but when she got over, it was Bu Fei who spoke.
"Ran, I see that you don't have many fish left. How about you catch some more tomorrow before you leave?"
Ran Qingxuan did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Bu Wei.
"It seems that Master Bucha likes this..."
Although he didn't say who it was, a hint of embarrassment quickly flashed across Bu Wei's face.
"Indeed, the fish you cook is delicious."
Ran Qingxuan had noticed the little tricks of the officers. In fact, even without them telling her, she would go and catch some more before leaving tomorrow morning. After all, in this weather, there was no need to worry about the fish going bad.
Who would have thought that this opportunity to owe a favor would come to me.
She, Ran Qingxuan, is not the kind of person who would rush to show her goodwill at a meeting. When fishing, one has to prepare a nest in advance, right?
Pretending to be embarrassed, Ran Qingxuan said very embarrassedly.
"Boss Bu, you know that my behavior just now may seem very unusual to outsiders, but if it wasn't for improving the food for my family, I wouldn't have taken off my shoes and socks in public and went to the river to catch fish."
"The remaining ones can be eaten for another meal. Please don't embarrass a young woman like me."
Ran Qingxuan clearly didn't want to catch him, but Bu Fei couldn't help swallowing his saliva whenever he thought of the taste of grilled fish.
The same goes for Bu Wei. He feels that the taste is still lingering between his lips and teeth, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.
However, he felt a little embarrassed to be rejected by Ran Qingxuan in public.
But when I thought about the possibility of eating something else in the future, the anger rising in my heart was immediately extinguished.
In the past, they would cook for themselves when escorting prisoners, but the food they made was only enough to fill their stomachs and was not up to the standard of enjoyment. Now, after tasting the cooking of Gu's second sister-in-law and Ran Qingxuan, they suddenly felt that what they had eaten before was tasteless.
"How about this, grab some more, enough for two meals..."
Just now, she and Gu Yanchen caught no less than twenty fish. They used up about ten of them in one meal, and the remaining ones were barely enough for one meal.
If we catch two more, wouldn’t we have to catch twenty more?
This is a big project. Although it doesn't require much effort, it is not pleasant to run in the water in early autumn.
Ran Qingxuan pretended to be in a dilemma. Bu Wei knew that she was good at talking and was afraid that she would find another excuse to refuse.
"Don't worry, I won't eat your food for free. As long as you catch enough for two meals, I can agree to any request of yours that is within my ability."
"Oh, what are you talking about? Since you are helping me so much, I can't refuse. I will go fishing early tomorrow morning."
The goal was achieved, and Ran Qingxuan smiled and shared the good news with his family gathered around the campfire.
"The river water is so cold, can you handle it, Sixth Sister-in-law?"
"That's right. It's early autumn now. If you're not careful, you could get sick."
"We are just prisoners now. Even if he agrees to let us make requests, we will be restricted. It would not be worth it if we develop a chronic disease."
Old Madam Gu looked at Ran Qingxuan's slightly thin body and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
She thought everyone would praise her for getting Bu Wei's promise with just a few fish, but she didn't expect that the words she said would instantly warm Ran Qingxuan's heart.
"Mom, sisters-in-law, don't worry. This matter has only advantages and no disadvantages. It's just a few fish. Compared with the other conditions, it's still a good deal."
She calculated the time and found that it would take about twelve days to reach Shuangling City at the team's current speed.
The weather in October is much colder than that in September. It is impossible to travel to the northwest wearing only the thin clothes on my body, and I will definitely have to buy supplies again by then.
She was allowed to buy things in Weishan County because she was forced to do so due to Bu Wei's poisoning, but Ran Qingxuan knew that if she succeeded this time, there would be a next time, and the next time after that, and there was no reason for her not to seize the opportunity.
"The Ran family is doing this for everyone's sake. I will catch him when the time comes." Gu Yanchen said from the side.
Others might not have understood, but the careful third sister-in-law figured out what was going on after a little thought.
"Mother, the nearest city to us is Shuangling City. I'm afraid it will be October when we get there. Sixth brother's wife agreed to catch fish as a preparation for when we arrive in Shuangling City."
Sure enough, after hearing what Chen Wan'er said, everyone felt sorry for Ran Qingxuan for making such plans for everyone.
"Old sister, I said that Ran is a good person. Yan Chen is lucky to marry such a powerful wife." Madam Xiao Li Ping praised her generously in front of Madam Gu, and was glad that her family had chosen the right camp.
Gu Yanchen glanced at Ran Qingxuan, who looked shy but graceful, and felt mixed emotions.
Because he knew that Ran Qingxuan's abilities were more than just catching fish. Ever since their house was ransacked, she had been taking care of everyone in the Gu family, including him, who had limited mobility.
