Chapter 40 Only when we trust each other can we be indestructible!
Only now did Old Madam Gu feel that this misunderstanding of Ran Qingxuan was extremely unfair to her.
"It's my fault. I misunderstood you. You are right to be angry..."
In fact, Ran Qingxuan listened to what his sister-in-law Zhou Furong said. After all, what she did was indeed extraordinary in the eyes of the ancients, and they needed some time to adapt.
What she wants is the Gu family's trust in her. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, nothing else matters!
Old Madam Gu thought that Ran Qingxuan was disappointed with them and looked lost, but Ran Qingxuan stepped forward and grabbed Old Madam Gu and several sisters-in-law.
"Ran, you..."
"Only if we trust each other can we be indestructible!"
The Gu family members stood there in a daze, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
In fact, Ran Qingxuan didn't need to put herself in such a difficult position. But if she didn't teach the Gu family a lesson this time, how would she deal with similar situations in the future?
What if I can’t explain myself clearly?
What if there is no witness and she has no evidence?
I'm afraid that even before she finds any evidence, just the strange looks would make her feel extremely tormented!
Ran Qingxuan also knew the character of the women in the Gu family, so he would not dwell on the fact that they did not speak up for him.
The family got back together and the problem was resolved perfectly.
Zhao Chunxiu not only failed to gain what she wanted, but also got beaten for nothing, which made the Gu family more united.
Li Xinyuan lay beside the tree holding her belly, secretly cursing Zhao Chunxiu for being so disgraceful.
After a while, a cold breeze with a faint scent of rice blew by, and almost everyone who smelled it subconsciously looked towards the end of the line.
The Gu family and the Chen family sat around a small bonfire, their eyes all drawn to the pot in the center of the fire.
The plump rice grains were cooked until they bloomed, the gurgling sound and the aroma of rice stimulated everyone's brain.
Before, because Zhao Chunxiu suddenly caused trouble, everyone hadn’t eaten the steamed buns in their hands yet.
White flour buns are indeed better than wild vegetable buns, but after all, they have been dried for a day and are choking. Combined with the cold water Qian Zheng brought, they will probably have diarrhea at night if they eat them.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu choked for a few times before swallowing a small bite of steamed bun, Ran Qingxuan immediately came up with a small idea in his mind.
"Everyone wait a while to eat, I'll be back soon."
The package that Chen Huai handed to her was tied up tightly, so no one knew what was inside. Ran Qingxuan simply reached in and pretended to feel around.
In fact, her consciousness had already entered the space. When a whole braised goose was taken out, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.
This braised goose was her captain's exclusive craftsmanship. She went to treat the wounded before she had time to eat it.
Because the plastic bag containing the braised goose was too obvious in the space, Ran Qingxuan had to take it out directly. She had to roast it and eat it soon anyway, so she didn't care whether her hands were clean or not.
"Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, this is the braised goose my grandfather prepared. Let's have a bite with the steamed buns."
"How can this be considered a compromise? It's already very good." Second sister-in-law Chang Yue'e loves studying food the most. The moment she saw the braised goose, her soul was almost taken away.
Madam Gu smiled helplessly, "You have done your part in beating up Zhao today, so you can eat more later."
Everyone smiled knowingly and temporarily forgot that they were on the road to exile.
As the braised goose was roasted and sizzling, the refreshing aroma of the meat caused waves of swallowing sounds to be heard in the team.
The Gu family and the Chen family were also hungry, but they were restraining themselves. Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan didn't care so much. He tore off a large piece of banana leaf from the roadside and directly tore the braised goose into small pieces and put them on it.
The ancients were very particular about rules. Seeing Ran Qingxuan rudely tearing open the braised goose, they found it a little hard to accept that they had to eat the meat with their hands.
Sister-in-law Zhou Furong whispered, "Do we have to eat with our hands too?"
After hearing this, Madam Gu sighed and said, "We are no longer wives of officials from wealthy families. It is rare to have a stutter. Let's not worry about the rules."
Old Madam Gu has long recognized the reality and is trying to break the previous rules.
"Let's eat quickly, we won't be hungry anymore once we get it in our stomachs!"
As he said that, he took the steamed bun from Madam Gu's hand, broke it open, put a large piece of meat in the middle and handed it over.
"Mother-in-law, you eat first."
Mrs. Gu took the first bite and squinted her eyes at the delicious taste. The steamed bun was soaked in oil and was not so difficult to swallow.
When everyone saw this, they no longer cared about being reserved and started to follow Ran Qingxuan's example by breaking open the buns and picking up the meat.
"As long as I can fill my stomach, I don't care about the rules."
"Mother-in-law is right. We are no longer the wives of wealthy families. Now that we are in the wilderness, we have to put aside our old rules."
Everyone was extremely hungry, and the braised goose that Ran Qingxuan brought out was very tempting, so everyone took the steamed buns with meat and wolfed them down.
After seeking consent from Mrs. Gu, Ran Qingxuan put the remaining meat into steamed buns and gave them to the Xiao family. After all, they came to help at noon.
By doing this, they also want to let the Shang family, who have always persisted, know that the Gu family is not as bad as they say, that they are intentionally framing others. They are grateful and want to repay the favor!
The Xiao family was a little surprised when they received the steamed buns, but when they learned that the Gu family wanted to thank them for their help at noon, they immediately burst into tears of gratitude.
Knowing that it was not easy to have a decent meal, Xiao Hongyi and his wife Li Ping did not eat the food. Instead, they shared the two steamed buns with their three children.
Xiao Wende, the eldest son of the Xiao family, was very sensible. He gave the steamed bun in his hand to his younger brother and sister-in-law and chose to starve with his parents.
After pushing it back and forth, the two steamed buns were finally shared by the family.
Ran Qingxuan knew that he could help them temporarily but not forever, and that they would have to rely on themselves in the future.
When I got back to my place, the porridge in the pot was ready.
"Give it to Zhenghong after his fever has dropped. The child has been hungry for a whole day, so we can only make do with rice oil."
A thick layer of rice oil filled two large bowls. When Ran Qingxuan brought it to Sun Qiulan, the Chen family realized that this was what Ran Qingxuan was going to use the rice for from the officials.
Seeing Chen Zhenghong drinking rice oil in big gulps, the Chen family was both excited and grateful.
There was still a lot of porridge left in the pot. In fact, this was because Ran Qingxuan took the opportunity to wash the rice and grabbed two more handfuls of rice from the space and put them in. Otherwise, not much rice oil could be produced with just the handful of rice grabbed by the official.
Everyone was hungry, and one steamed bun would not last until tomorrow morning, but everyone looked at the porridge in the pot and had no intention of drinking it.
"Mother-in-law, why don't you drink?"
"Things are different now. Let's save this porridge for tomorrow morning, otherwise we won't have the energy to hold on for that long."
Ran Qingxuan knew that everyone was worried about not having enough food to eat, so he whispered.
"Don't worry, there's still a lot of food in the bag. If it's not enough, I can get some more."
