Chapter 89: If you can’t ask for it, just rob it. Can you please have some shame?
"I don't know if it's because the conditions don't allow it now, but I always feel that everything we made today is delicious." After chewing carefully, the second sister-in-law couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right. Every meal is hard to come by now. Even a simple pancake tastes good to me."
Ran Qingxuan felt that eating the egg pancake alone was not enough, so while looking for a plate, he quietly took out a piece of pork belly from the space and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh, I didn't notice there's a piece of pork belly here!"
Upon hearing this, the second sister-in-law walked forward and took a look, and immediately thought of what to do.
"Let's chop the meat into small pieces and season it, then spread it evenly on the bottom of the pan and fry it until it's cooked. It will be like meat patties now!"
Ran Qingxuan knew that his second sister-in-law could eat and cook, so he immediately picked up a kitchen knife and started chopping the meat.
Originally, she wanted to use it to make dumplings, but after all, it was her family who were the ones who had to work hard, and it would take at least an hour or two to make dumplings before they could be eaten, so it would be faster to make pancakes.
Anyway, we have meat and vegetable egg drop soup, which is better than eating steamed buns together.
After chopping the meat, Ran Qingxuan took advantage of the fact that his two sisters-in-law were not paying attention and "found" some cucumbers and green radishes, cut them into shreds, mixed them with cold water, and divided them into three portions and put them into bowls.
Since the Chen family and the Gu family were eating together, the largest portion was taken away first by the second sister-in-law.
Ran Qingxuan also distributed some egg pancakes, meat pancakes and soup and asked his third sister-in-law to watch over them while she quietly called the Xiao family to come and serve the meal.
But before he got there, he heard his third sister-in-law scream. Ran Qingxuan's face darkened and he quickly ran towards the kitchen, fearing that something might happen to his third sister-in-law if he was a step slower.
Mrs. Xiao, who came to serve the meal, also heard the noise. She motioned for Xiao Wenmei to follow, and then she hurriedly chased after him.
Thanks to Xiao Hongyi's explanation after he returned, the whole family understood why they were exiled. Xiao Wenmei blamed herself for bringing disaster to the family, but the Xiao family members hated Emperor Mingde more.
When Ran Qingxuan came to ask them to serve the meal, the Xiao family was still a little bit incredulous. In order to prevent Xiao Wenmei from staying in the room and thinking too much, Mrs. Xiao brought her out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, before entering the kitchen, I heard the call of Gu's wife inside.
Li Ping thought that since the misunderstanding had been resolved and the Gu family had shown goodwill to her, she should at least help them when they encountered problems.
As she quickened her pace to catch up, she didn't notice Xiao Wenmei disappearing behind her.
Ran Qingxuan rushed into the kitchen and bumped into Li Si, who was holding an egg pancake in her hand. Not only that, she was also stuffing the pancake into her mouth frantically.
Seeing his third sister-in-law lying on the ground holding her waist and screaming in pain, Ran Qingxuan instantly became furious.
When he turned around to grab Li Si, Li Ping, who had followed behind, had already stopped him at the door.
For fear of accidentally injuring friendly forces, Ran Qingxuan grabbed Li Si's long hair and pulled it back, clenched his fists, and punched her hard in the stomach.
"vomit..."
Li Si bent down in pain and vomited out the pancake he had just eaten.
Ran Qingxuan looked at her as if he wanted to eat her, grabbed her hair and pushed her against the wall.
"Why, if you can't beg, you just rob. Can't you have some shame?"
"Bah, I'm almost starving to death, who cares if it was stolen? I advise you to let me go, otherwise..."
The expression on Li Si's face changed from hatred to pride, and he looked at Ran Qingxuan as if he was looking at an ant.
Ran Qingxuan sneered, knowing what she meant.
"Otherwise what? Do you want someone to beat me up?"
Ran Qingxuan's eyes seemed to see through everything. Li Si subconsciously thought that she knew everything, and she said a lot of harsh words. Thinking of Dai Kun's warning, she suddenly felt guilty.
"Let me go!"
While they were struggling, He Xun, who heard the noise, walked in. Seeing Li Si being pressed against the wall by Ran Qingxuan, he immediately said in a deep voice.
"Prisoners are forbidden to fight with each other. Are you all going to die as police officers?"
When Li Si saw the officer, he immediately showed an expression of great grievance, and cried with a sad face about how Ran Qingxuan beat him.
Ran Qingxuan threw the man to the ground and pointed at the food left for the officials.
"These meals are for you. Who knew that Li Si would come in and hurt someone when my third sister-in-law was alone, and then he would grab and eat without saying anything. If I didn't stop you, you would have nothing to eat. Does this count as fighting?"
He Xun turned his head and took a look. The neatly arranged pancakes were torn into pieces and the mixed vegetables were knocked over. Looking at Li Si's nervous expression, He Xun instantly became furious.
What happened next was none of their business. After Li Si was dragged out, the sound of being whipped was immediately heard. Hearing his cries of pain, they instantly felt their anger subside.
Chen Wan'er was also helped up by Li Ping, and Ran Qingxuan quickly walked over to help check on her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. She just pushed me and I bumped into the table. It's nothing serious."
That being said, Chen Wan'er's face was pale, and it was obvious that she had sprained her waist when she was pushed down.
"Mrs. Li, the food is over there, just take it away. I'll help my sister-in-law back first."
"No hurry, I'll help you carry the person back first, and let Wen Mei serve the food."
Li Ping went forward to help the man, but when she looked up she didn't see her daughter. She thought her daughter was timid and was waiting outside, but when she went out she found she was not there.
She thought Xiao Wenmei ran back out of fear, so she helped her to the room. Then Li Ping went to serve the food herself. The father and son saw that she was the only one back and asked curiously.
"Where's Wenmei? Didn't she go with you?"
Li Ping put down the food and replied, "Just now, Li Si from the Li family went into the kitchen to grab food and injured the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family. When I helped send him back, I thought Wen Mei came back by herself."
Having said this, Li Ping suddenly looked up at Xiao Hongyi, and her face turned pale in an instant.
At the same time, the Chen father and son, who had moved to the woodshed, were preparing to go to the dormitory to eat. Just as they turned a corner, Chen Zhao caught a glimpse of a pair of tiptoes behind the woodshed.
"Dad, do you think that's a pair of feet?"
Chen Chengping was shocked when he heard that. The father and son did not dare to get too close in broad daylight for fear of a trick. Chen Zhao plucked up the courage to get closer and take a closer look, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Dad... this seems to be the eldest daughter of the Xiao family..."
"What? Why is someone here?" Chen Chengping was wondering, when suddenly he saw Chen Zhao seemed to be frightened. He sat down on the ground and even his voice trembled.
"She...she...Xiao...Wenmei committed suicide...committed suicide..."
Chen Chengping had never experienced such a thing. When he heard that the child committed suicide, his hands and feet began to weaken and he subconsciously thought of notifying the Xiao family.
"Zhao'er...you...you should go find the Xiao family quickly, and by the way...by the way, call Ran over to take a look."
He tore off a corner of his clothes, walked forward and with trembling hands tightly tied the bleeding wound on Xiao Wenmei's wrist.
