Xu Xiaohu's voice sounded very surprised, and everyone in the Xu family quickly put away their expressions, especially Xu Ning. After seeing Xu Xiaohu, he thought of the village chief's family.
Xu Xiaohu is with the people from Xujia Village. Since Xu Xiaohu appears here, wouldn’t the other people from Xujia Village be nearby?
The adults in the Xu family had the same idea. They thought that after staying in the valley for a while, they had been separated from Xujia Village.
Unexpectedly, the people from Xujia Village were right in front of them.
Xu Xiaohu was walking a little slower because he was carrying my mother, and happened to hear Xu Da's voice and came over. So where are the people in Xujia Village?
Even if we don’t find out today, we will know it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"Well, Dayong, I just came to thank you. It was Hunter Li who told everyone the news in time last time, so my mother and I were lucky enough to escape." Xu Xiaohu could see that Xu Ning's family was not welcoming, and was ready to leave after he finished speaking.
His mother also wanted to say a few words to Old Lady Xu, but Old Lady Xu turned around and slapped her on the back of her head.
Xu Da looked at his mother, then at Xu Xiaohu who was at a loss, and he could only laugh it off and change the subject.
"It's not a big deal. Well, haha, you know, it's not convenient right now."
Old Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, thinking that since it was a thank you, you didn't need to bring anything over, but you couldn't repay kindness with evil, right?
Anyone with eyes can see that Xu Xiaohu is trying to get close to him. Isn't he staying here just to get something to eat?
Could she give it to him? If she did, the people from Xujia Village would come after her like blood-sucking leeches the next day.
But can she not give it to him? Look at Xu Xiaohu's mother, she is so thin and light that she looks like she is about to fly away!
"Hey, eat quickly, wipe your mouth, and go back. You know what to say and what not to say. We're not having a good time at home either, with so many mouths to feed! I can only give you this one bowl, no more!"
The pheasant was not big to begin with, so each member of the Xu family could only get two bites. Now that one bowl was given to Xu Xiaohu and his mother, the food ration for each member of Xu Ning's family was even less.
When she thought about her family being wronged, Old Mrs. Xu's face turned completely dark.
"Auntie Xu, I'm not here to ask for food!" Xu Xiaohu's face turned red, and he didn't dare to glance at the bowl of mushroom chicken soup with oil stars.
"Chunhua, I don't want to drink chicken soup." Xu Xiaohu's mother stretched out her hand to push it back. Old Mrs. Xu couldn't bear it and directly took the bowl and stuffed it into Xu Xiaohu's mother's mouth.
"You're just starving to death with your temper. Do you think I want to feed you? I just saw how skinny you are, so I'm giving you a bowl of soup out of pity. If you can eat it and survive, just don't forget me. If you can't survive, help me explore the way down there. Tell me in a dream, that'll be my repayment!"
"Chunhua!" Xu Xiaohu's mother struggled desperately, but the mother's size and strength overwhelmed her, and even stomping her feet was useless. Xu Xiaohu didn't expect that Old Lady Xu would do this, and before he could stop her, his mother had already taken a sip.
"Drink yours. If you're full and bored, give it to your son. There's still a long way to go! Why are you being so shy? Anyway, our family doesn't want this bowl anymore. It's stained with your saliva, which is disgusting!" After saying this, Old Mrs. Xu let go of her hand, and Xu Xiaohu and his mother quickly held the bowl.
"Xu Chunhua, from now on my son is your son." Xu Xiaohu's mother's eyes were filled with tears. Old Mrs. Xu quickly stopped talking when she heard this. "Gu Xiangchun, don't be silly. If you want to have nothing to do with me forever, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. You're really getting more disgusting as you get older!"
Old Mrs. Xu looked disgusted and ignored Xu Xiaohu and his mother. She quickly invited her family to eat, and they finished the meal quickly.
Xu Ning was holding the bowl and hadn't reacted yet. She thought there was going to be a fight, but it was easily resolved by her grandmother.
"Grandma, are you very familiar with Uncle Xiaohu's mother?" Xu Ning was very curious. Old Mrs. Xu was drinking soup when Old Man Xu put down his bowl and explained on her behalf: "When your grandma first married into the village, she had the best relationship with Uncle Xiaohu's mother."
So that's how it is. No wonder Old Mrs. Xu gave one bowl each to Xu Xiaohu and his mother.
"Grandma, how about we..." Before Xu Ning could finish her words, she was interrupted impatiently by Old Lady Xu, "Xu Daya, can you please be quiet? Stop meddling in the adults' affairs. If you don't shut up, don't drink the bowl of soup in your hand. There's not enough for everyone."
Xu Ning immediately swallowed the unfinished words and lowered his head to drink the soup in silence.
Xu Xiaohu and his mother finished drinking the soup, ate the wild vegetables and mushrooms in the soup, licked the bowl clean, and finally washed it several times with clean water before returning it to Old Mrs. Xu.
"Take the wild vegetables with you, Gu Xiangchun. Our family can't help you." Old Mrs. Xu refused the wild vegetables picked by Xu Xiaohu. Their family had no shortage of them. The ones picked by Zhang alone were enough for the whole family to eat every day.
Xu Ning watched Xu Xiaohu and his mother walking back and forth with the wild vegetables they had picked in a lost manner. She had just confirmed with the treasure chest that the people from Xujia Village were not far ahead, and she would meet them sooner or later if she continued walking forward.
Sure enough, people from Xujia Village later sent people to look for Xu Xiaohu, and found that Xu Xiaohu and his mother, who had been following them, were missing. Then, after asking around, they found that Xu Xiaohu and his mother had met Xu Ning's family.
After Xu Xiaohu left, Old Lady Xu quickly pulled Mr. and Mrs. Xu aside to discuss changing their route overnight. When the people in Xujia Village learned that Xu Ning's family was right behind them, they also gathered together and headed this way.
When Xu Xiaohu walked back, he realized it was too late and it was too late to report to Xu Da.
"Xu Laogen, you look really energetic!" The village chief of Xujia Village saw from a distance that Old Man Xu was directing Xu Xiaobao to pack things, and his voice was sarcastic as he opened it.
When Xu Ning's family heard this sound, they knew they couldn't leave for the time being.
"Uncle village chief." Xu Da put down his things and ran to the village chief of Xujia Village, using his body to block other people in Xujia Village from spying on his home.
"I don't dare to call you uncle, Lao Gen, don't you think?" The village chief of Xujia Village calculated that Old Man Xu was easy to manipulate, so he ignored the strong Xu Da and chased after Old Man Xu and shouted.
Old Man Xu pushed his eldest son aside and stood in front of the village chief of Xujia Village.
He glanced at Xu Qianqian, who was looking at her granddaughter proudly behind the village chief of Xujia Village. Old Man Xu's expression disappeared immediately. His face, which was timid due to old age, suddenly showed a sense of majesty without anger.
For a moment, the village chief of Xujia Village was a little scared when he saw this face.
In fact, Old Man Xu is a generation older than the head of Xujiacun Village, but they are of the same age. They used to call each other by their names in the village and never cared about the issue of seniority.
The same was true for the other people in Xujia Village, but today Old Man Xu changed his usual temper and said, "Shuanzi, you should call me uncle."
"You..." The village chief of Xujia Village was suddenly choked.
"Shuanzi, since you're here today, I'll be frank. Everyone has witnessed what happened along the way. Although I, Xu Laogen, am usually easy to talk to, I'm not a fool. I know the purpose of your coming here, and I can tell you clearly that it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
