Chapter 264: Ate a Little Too Much

t is actually a facade painstakingly maintained by the adults."In fact, the supplies within the city have been gradually decreasing, and the prices of many goods have risen to a level that ordinary pe...But Chunlan didn't refuse Tiezhu's invitation, and followed him back home.

When Zhao saw her husband and son return home, she was overjoyed. But upon closer inspection of the two men, she noticed a young boy trailing behind them. She took a closer look.

Isn't this Chunlan who was driven away by her before

That little punk, actually so shameless, can't get rid of it no matter what.

Her face changed, and she glared at Chunlan.

"You really have no shame, how could you still be haunting me"

The village head quickly stopped his wife.

"How should you speak, Chunlan is entrusted to us by Jinxiu, be polite to her."

Zhao was so angry she couldn't say a word. Now, Fang Jinshi's name carried more weight than her husband, the village head.

Who would dare offend her.

The Zhao family could only swallow their anger and pretend not to see her.

Iron Pillar chuckled and sidled up to his mother, "Mother, Miss Chunlan has lost her entire family. She's quite pitiful, so don't make things difficult for her."

"If we don't do a good job with what Sister-in-law Jinxiu told us to do, she'll think our family isn't on the same page as her."

Zhao Shi gave her son a withering look. “You're practically under Fang Jinxiu's spell now, you'd think she was your mother if anyone didn't know.”

"I told you to listen to her, now look at you and your father, running around the Second Master's place."

"Tie Zhu said helplessly, “You didn't say that before when you got the pork from Sister-in-Law Jinxiu.”

Zhao's expression stiffened, and she awkwardly turned her head away.

"Never mind, do whatever you want."

Iron Pillar saw his mother leave, turned to beckon Spring Orchid who was hiding by the doorway, "Spring Orchid, come in. My mother won't chase you away."

"Actually, she just looks scary. With my father here, your mother-in-law won't make things difficult for you, don't be afraid."

Chunlan nodded and deliberately leaned against Tiezhu, clutching his clothes tightly.

"Iron Pillar Bro, I'm still scared. I, I don't think I should have come to you."

Being so close to a delicate girl like this, Wang Tiezhu also felt a little uncomfortable. He smiled awkwardly and carefully picked up Chunlan's sleeve, pulling her hand away from his clothes.

Then he quickly stepped to the side, putting some distance between them.

"That Chunlan girl, why don't you come in and have some water first We just brought down some spring water from the mountains, it's still icy cold, delicious!"

"One, I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Tie Zhu found a stool in the yard and gave it to Chun Lan, then ran away and hid in the kitchen.

Chun Lanqi gritted her teeth, Wang Tiezhu this fool, really clueless!

After the Wang family finished their meal, Chunlan seemed to chew slowly, but she actually ate quite a bit. It was clear that she was both very hungry and wanted to maintain her figure.

Village head Wang and his family watched as she ate nonstop, seeing that half the dishes on her plate had already gone into her stomach.

The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward.

The Zhao family was practically going to explode with anger.

She didn't care who sent them to take care of him. Since Fang Jinshu lived such a good life, why didn't she take care of herself

Instead, they threw this fox over to their place to live off them for free!

"I said, Chunlan girl, are you a starving ghost reincarnated"

"Fang Jinshu is so generous to everyone else. Since you were saved by her, why not go to her house to ask for food instead of coming to mine"

Zhao's two questions caused Chunlan's face to stiffen instantly.

When Wang, the village chief, saw that most of the dishes on his table were almost gone, he quickly picked up two chopsticksful to eat, lest there wouldn't even be any vegetable leaves left later.

They worked hard all day doing physical labor on the mountain, so they pointed to having a big meal at night to restore their strength and spirits.

Who knew this orchid was so easy to grow!

In the village, not every household could compare to Fang Jinxiu's home-cooked meals because Chunlan stayed behind to eat.

Village Head Wang even specially instructed his wife to cook more food, but it was still not enough.

Tie Zhu, like his father, hurriedly served himself some dishes and did not forget to put a few in his mother's bowl.

In a flash, all the dishes on the table were gone.

Chunnlan's face turned pale at the sight. "I, I was just hungry, I'm sorry, I ate a little too much."

"I will definitely return this to you all later."

What a stingy village head! The food is terrible, and to make matters worse, he's so miserly.

Chunlan's eyes were rolling so hard in her head."So, Tai Wu messed this up"Yuan Xiangli may look down on others, but she still values her husband's feelings.Seeing his face darken again, she hurriedly explained to her youngest son."It wasn't Taiwu...
