Chapter VII

"Aren't you going back?" Mingxiu walked a little further and found that Xie Zhan had not followed, and couldn't help but wonder.

It was getting dark today, what would he do if he didn't go back?

"Of course I want to go back." Xie Zhan came back to his senses, stretched out his long legs, and caught up with her in a few steps, "Didn't you say you went into the mountains to look for food this morning? And you found these fruits?"

He didn't see anything edible. Although the wild fruits looked non-toxic, Niu Ergou just ate a fruit and fell unconscious. Even though Xie Zhan believed that Mingxiu did not intentionally harm others, she had eaten it before.

However, it is better not to eat this fruit until the situation is clear.

But apart from these fruits, Mingxiu didn't get anything else.

Is this day a waste of labor and nothing gained?

"Isn't this food?" Mingxiu rolled his eyes, why did this man suddenly feel like he had taken gunpowder.

Although her family is poor, they are not so poor that they have nothing to eat, right?

Mingxiu obviously underestimated the extent of his family's poverty.

"Xiu'er is back. Your mother left some food for you. Go and eat quickly." Ming's father looked at the two people returning side by side with a smile. His daughter had a good appearance. She cleaned herself up after coming over in the Qingming Festival. She looked really good.

She doesn't look like a girl from the countryside, and although Xie Zhan is a beggar, she looks pretty good after taking care of herself. If they really get married, his grandson and granddaughter should also be good-looking in the future.

Xie Zhan felt that Ming's father was looking at him in a strange way, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. He smiled and nodded and said hello, then quickly passed Mingxiu and went straight to the kitchen house, where the food Ming's mother left for them was placed.

Although the entire Ming family was completely burned, the pots and pans were made of iron and pottery and were not afraid of being burned. This reduced the Ming family's losses a lot. At least they still had something to eat.

Mingxiu only thought that Xie Zhan was hungry. Not to mention that he was a grown man, Mingxiu was very hungry even if he didn't eat anything all day.

Everyone in the desert country eats two meals a day, and rich people can still have some snacks at noon, but the Ming family can't even eat, so how can they have this condition? Mingxiu had to eat two fruits at noon.

This kind of eating habit made her very uncomfortable. After she made up her mind to improve the conditions at home, she encouraged her mother to eat three meals a day from now on.

"It's really a piece of cake."

After seeing the food left by Ming's mother, Xie Zhan couldn't help but frown.

The rice was porridge, and the vegetables were just a plate of wild vegetables. They looked dusty and unappetizing, and the food was bland and tasteless.

He used to only treat it as a courtesy, but now he actually gets it.

Mingxiu knew that her family's conditions were not good, with no house or land, but she never expected to be so poor. The Ming family's parents were very good to her, so naturally they would not deliberately do this because they were reluctant to give her food, so that was

The conditions of the Ming family are already extremely difficult.

After hearing Xie Zhan's words, I felt even more unhappy.

"You don't have to eat it if you don't like it."

At this time, the salt manufacturing industry was not very developed. Although the common people could afford salt, they were reluctant to part with it. It would be great if the poorer people could add some to every meal to taste it so that their family members could replenish their salt supply.

If you want to say it tastes good, then don’t even think about it.

She directly stepped forward and brought all the food in front of Xie Zhan to herself, "My family is poor and I cannot afford to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, which makes you disappointed."

"I'm telling the truth." Xie Zhan felt uncomfortable after listening to those people's words on the way back, and now he felt even more dissatisfied when he saw Mingxiu looking so covered with thorns. He couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Can't you even

Don’t you want anyone to tell you the truth?”

"Then do you know that people have to bow their heads under the eaves? If you dislike my house without a tile and the lack of food, you can leave on your own." Mingxiu rolled her eyes. She couldn't afford to serve the young master, so why not?

Originally, it was a moment of soft-heartedness to take Xie Zhan in, but now he doesn't like this or that. In this case, don't stay and look at each other with disgust.

"You woman!" Xie Zhan was furious. He had never seen such a woman covered in thorns. Didn't her father teach her what it means to be gentle and virtuous?

Nothing like a woman!

"how?"

Now on her own territory, Mingxiu is not afraid of Xie Zhan's anger at all.

After a while of luck, Xie Zhan finally suppressed the anger that was about to burst out. After calming down, he also noticed the place next to him.

"Have you read the book?"

Xie Zhan's eyes were full of inquiry. There are many people who understand the truth of "people have to bow their heads under the eaves", but not many can say this. Ming Xiu would not be able to say this if she was really just a country girl.

.

What a thoughtful thought!

Mingxiu's eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't expect that just a casual comment during an argument could make Xie Zhan notice that something was wrong.

She felt a little guilty in her heart, but she looked confident on her face, "What does it have to do with you? Just remember that you live in my house now! Then you have to listen to me!"

After talking to him so much, Mingxiu no longer thought about eating more. It was almost dark, and there was not much nightlife at this time, so it was better to eat less before going to bed.

Throwing the rest of the food to Xie Zhan, Mingxiu took the basket he brought back and headed towards the chicken pen next door.

After being interrupted by Xie Zhan, he temporarily put aside the in vivo experiments, but he had a lot of plans in mind.

Since the neighbor next door insists that she stole chickens and robbed her family's land, she has to pay a price no matter what.

Now it seems that nothing is more suitable for in vivo experiments than the chickens and ducks next door.

When no one in the family was paying attention, Mingxiu secretly went to the chicken coop next door, broke up the apple that had been stung by the wasp, and threw it in. Judging from the time when Niuergou got sick, it shouldn't take more than a while to get the result.

After a while, Mingxiu directly moved a chair to sit down.

Ming's mother came back from washing clothes by the river, her face looked a little ugly.

"What are you doing here?"

It should have been time to rest, but Mingxiu was still sitting in the yard. No wonder Ming's mother found it strange.

"I'll take a rest." Mingxiu had already planned his words.

Ming's mother really had no doubts. She nodded, "Then you should go back to bed early. There are still a lot of mosquitoes outside."

"You looked a little ugly just now. What happened outside?" Mingxiu was worried. The Niuergou incident just happened today, and Ming's mother was ridiculed outside again. Although she didn't get along with Ming's parents for a long time,

But he also knew that both of them were soft-tempered and would only suffer if they were bullied.
