Chapter 39: Just don't starve
Aunt Kang was slapped in the face by her husband, and she was stunned.
Even if she wasn't stunned, she didn't dare to say anything at this moment. Who made her man angry?
"Patriarch, you should drink it first. The porridge is still warm at the moment, but it will be cold later." An Jiuyue said to the patriarch without looking at Aunt Kang.
Then, ignoring the others, lit the fire for them, watching them scramble to finish the white porridge one by one, then put away the jars and bamboo tubes and prepare to leave.
"Jiuyue, your white porridge is too thin, so it will be thicker tomorrow." Someone saw that An Jiuyue was about to leave, so they stopped her and said.
Hearing this, An Jiuyue stopped and glanced back at him.
"If you want to eat something that isn't available tomorrow, how about I cook it for you?" she asked them back.
"Uh."
The man was blocked by her words and blushed.
"Jiuyue, what are you talking about, we didn't say we want to cook rice, but this porridge is really not enough to fill the stomach."
"That's right, with such a little porridge, so many people share it, how can you get enough to drink." Several men reported the injustice for the person who spoke just now, and also said to An Jiuyue.
"Jiuyue, you've all saved us. It makes no sense for us to be hungry, right?"
Hearing their words, An Jiuyue finally turned cold. She looked at those thick-skinned people with cold eyes and sneered.
"I didn't say let you have enough to drink, just let everyone not starve to death."
She really has a good attitude towards these people, isn't she? Dare to kick his nose and face with him, do you really think she is easy to bully?
"Otherwise, I won't send white porridge from tomorrow. You can go to the mountains to dig the bark of wild vegetables to eat. Anyway, even without me, you can still find something to eat. There are not many other things on the mountain, but there must be a lot of bark. You must be able to eat too!"
"you--"
When those men heard her words, they were about to get angry.
At this time, several men came out again and stopped them.
"It's alright, it's good to have you stuttering and drinking. What else do you want? If it weren't for Jiuyue, those of us would still be hungry on the roof, and maybe they would all be washed away by the flood!"
"The Jiuyue family has no fields and no land, and there is not much food. It is a great blessing to be able to drink white porridge for you!"
There are bad people in the village, but naturally there are also good people. Seeing that someone reported the injustice for her, An Jiuyue didn't say anything, but looked at the patriarch.
"Patriarch, you'd better let them go outside to pick up more firewood. Although it is wet, if it is left in the cave for a few hours, it can still be burned in the fire. In the mountains at night, it is not safe, so nod your head. A fire is better."
"Okay, I understand." The patriarch responded.
"Jiuyue, be careful when you go back. You don't have to come tomorrow morning. Come at noon. With so many people, there is definitely not enough food. One meal a day is almost enough."
This sentence, he deliberately said to those who disliked the white porridge brought by An Jiuyue just now.
I really want to slap each of them directly and slap these guys to death. Do you think how big your face is? You can't stop their mouths if you have something to eat, and you dare to dislike it!
"Eat one meal a day? That's okay!"
When someone heard the patriarch's words, they immediately called out.
