Chapter 177 No Work, No Food



She really disliked Liu Chuyu; he seemed so irresponsible and uneducated. He was nothing like the other kids her age in the village.

"Why aren't you chopping wood yet? Aren't you planning to eat dinner tonight?" He Tiantian glanced at Liu Chuyu, estimating that the injury wasn't serious and that she could work without any problems.

Liu Chuyu angrily kicked over the wooden bucket at her feet, "I already said I'm not doing any work. I'm hungry, go get me some food."

He Tiantian ignored him and went straight to the kitchen to get the food.

This little tyrant isn't hungry, but she's been starving for ages; we can't delay her meal.

Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Denglong definitely didn't want to talk to Liu Chuyu, and Zhao Yanniang dared not provoke him at all, and would avoid him whenever she saw him.

Several people brought their food and sat down at a random table in the hall to eat together.

The biggest advantage of having mealtimes is that your own family won't go hungry.

Liu Chuyu sat on the wooden tub he had just kicked over; all he could see now were the backs of He Tiantian and the others.

The aroma of food wafted over, and Liu Chuyu had just seen all of it, though he had never tasted it.

Liu Chuyu's stomach rumbled a few times at just the right moment; he was hungry.

He waited for quite a while, until the people inside seemed to have finished eating and started clearing away the dishes, but Liu Chuyu still didn't receive any invitation to come in for dinner.

This Aunt He never forgot to feed the dog, but she never called him to eat.

It seems like it was done on purpose!

However, Liu Chuyu was also a man of temper. He pressed his stomach, thinking that he wouldn't starve to death even if he missed a meal.

Maybe if he faints from hunger, his soft-hearted mother will come and take him back.

After the family finished eating, He Tiantian went upstairs to take care of Xiao Mingzhu.

Chen finally had some free time. She went out into the courtyard and saw Liu Chuyu sitting there, her heart filled with suspicion.

It wasn't until she went into the kitchen and quietly asked that she learned Liu Chuyu's identity.

Madam Chen was still quite shaken; good heavens, this was the magistrate's son!

These are so precious, how can we not feed them?

However, Chen did not dare to interfere in her daughter's affairs, because she knew that her daughter had her own ideas.

Whenever she passed by Liu Chuyu, Chen had to force herself to pretend she didn't see her.

Women like her, who were used to living in the village, couldn't help but feel afraid when they saw anyone associated with officials.

The four of them worked in the kitchen for several hours before they had prepared the food to sell the next day.

The water tank at home is completely empty, and there's not even water for washing up at night.

We can only hope that Zhao Dahai and the others can deliver the water early tomorrow so as not to delay the water supply.

By the time the four of them left the kitchen, it was completely dark.

No one knew what time it was, and Liu Chuyu in the courtyard had turned into a dark shadow.

However, the four of them tacitly passed by Liu Chuyu without saying a word and went straight upstairs.

He Tiantian had just put Xiaomingzhu to sleep. There were four rooms upstairs. He Tiantian and Xiaomingzhu shared one room, Denglong and Xiaolan shared another, and Chen Shi and Zhao Yanniang shared the third.

Only one empty room remained at the very back, but it was fully furnished.

As it was getting dark, He Tiantian bought some more furniture and toiletries from the mall.

He Tiantian said that she bought all these things from outside and had them delivered.

None of them suspected anything, because they had been busy in the kitchen for so long that they hadn't noticed anything happening in front of them.
