Chapter 5: Lunch
"Our continent is called the Shenzhou Continent ................"
Liu Shufen's voice is very soft, and the tone is abrupt, and at the same time very organized, which makes the listeners enjoy it very much. Time also slipped away unconsciously. I didn't even pay attention to when Xiao Cui left.
Suddenly, the courtyard door opened, interrupting Liu Shufen's explanation. Xiao Cui was holding a shabby food box in her hand, pouting and walking quickly to the two of them and said angrily;
"Aunt Liu, the kitchen is getting more and more excessive."
"Xiaocui" Liu Shufen yelled, interrupting Xiaocui's words, and also made Xiaocui react immediately, looked at Li Liping very uneasily, and stopped talking.
Seeing Xiaocui stop, Liu Shufen turned her head and said softly to Li Liping;
"Ping'er will go to the house first, and my mother will come in and continue to tell you later." Liu Shufen was unwilling to let Li Liping suffer these grievances, so she would break Li Liping apart every time she was troubled. And the original owner was also obedient and didn't ask much every time, but in fact, he knew in his heart that it was not easy for them to live in the house.
If it was the original owner, listening to Liu Shufen's instructions, she would definitely go back to the house without hesitation. But of course Li Liping won't now.
"Mother, have you forgotten what your daughter said just now? My daughter has grown up, and my daughter has to know everything no matter what. Xiao Cui, go on! Li Liping's attitude was very resolute, she didn't care whether Liu Shufen agreed or not, and directly gave orders to Xiaocui.
Xiao Cui looked at Liu Shufen in embarrassment. Seeing her daughter's attitude so resolute, and thinking about what her daughter said today, her daughter has really grown up! Liu Shufen sighed and said to Xiao Cui;
"Tell me, what the hell is going on."
With Liu Shufen's consent, Xiaocui immediately became indignant:
"I went to get our lunch just now, but because I didn't give money, Mrs. Wang actually took these for us, where is this for people to eat." After speaking, he opened the food box.
The two turned their heads to look at the food box in Xiao Cui's hand, there were only three earthen bowls in it, each bowl contained more than half a bowl of black whirring water, and a few grains of rice could be vaguely seen sinking to the bottom of the water. Due to Cui's rapid movement, water spilled all over the food box.
Li Liping looked at the food in front of her with a calm face, what is this? Is this also called eating? It's just dishwater, so don't give it to the dogs! Although I knew from my memory that their situation was not very good, when I really faced it, the fire in my heart still rose involuntarily. And Liu Shufen sighed again after looking at the food box and said;
"Forget it. They are the masters of the high and the low, and we have long known why we should be angry with them. After speaking, he took off the hosta from his head, took it in his hand and looked at it again, and handed it to Xiaocui with reluctance in his eyes;
"After a while, you take this hosta to Mrs. Wang, please help her, the silver should be able to last for a while, and we will be able to embroider more during this time, and we will be able to catch it."
Xiao Cui was anxious; "Aunt Liu, this is not good. This hosta is the only thought left to you by the master, but you can't be it. is saying that if you let the princess be the mother-in-law, how much money can you give us? I don't want to let her be greedy. ”
Liu Shufen knew that what Xiaocui said was reasonable, but now she was penniless, if she didn't give Wang Pozi money, then they didn't want to eat normal food at all. I think that when I first lived in Rongyuan for more than a month, because all the money was taken away by the Chen family, there was no money to reward, and the meal was all leftovers. Later, she asked Mrs. Wang to help exchange some silver coins with embroidery, so that she could eat some normal food. Of course, this so-called normal food is just some steamed porridge and the like, and if you want to eat meat, it is impossible.
Liu Shufen's embroidery work can only be said to be average, and an embroidery product can't be sold for much money. But she can't help it, although it's less, but it's still there. Because they can't get out, if they don't let the princess sell it on their behalf, even if they don't have it at all, then they will starve to death sooner or later in this Li Mansion.
For more than two years, Mrs. Wang didn't know that she had a lot of money on her. But just because of the medical treatment for her daughter in the past few days, the little silver she saved before had been used up yesterday, but she didn't expect Mrs. Wang to turn her face immediately today, and she was really a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised. It's okay to eat leftovers by yourself, but her daughter can't, she can only endure it for her daughter's sake.
Thinking of this, she looked at the daughter next to her, and then at the hosta, although she was reluctant, she was still ruthless;
"You don't care about this, just do as I say, you can't let the young lady go hungry. Besides, Miss has recently recovered from a serious illness and needs to make up for it. After a while, I changed the silver and asked Mrs. Wang to stew a chicken for the young lady, so let's go. After speaking, he handed the hosta to Xiao Cui again.
Xiao Cui saw that the persuasion couldn't work, and there was no way, so she had to put down the food box, take the hosta, and walk out angrily, cursing while walking;
"Dead demon woman, greedy for silver to take medicine XXXX ............".
Li Liping saw that Liu Shufen wanted to be the only relic left to her by her cheap father for herself, looking at Liu Shufen's reluctant but resolute appearance, Li Liping was very moved. But she can't let Liu Shufen give up her most beloved things for herself. Seeing that Xiaocui was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, Li Liping hurriedly stopped; "Xiao Cui, come back." then turned to Liu Shufen and said;
"Mother, this is the only relic that my father left you, we can't be it. As for eating, are we trying to figure out how to do it? ”
Xiaocui was very happy when she heard Li Liping's shout, and immediately turned around and came back, and also said to Liu Shufen;
"Aunt Liu, Miss is right, let's think of a way."
