Chapter 4020 Why Not Become an Immortal (4 chapters)
Suddenly, the shoe was kicked onto the old woman's leg.
"You brat!"
The old woman picked up a broom from the ground and headed towards Qingyou.
"Mom, never mind, we're about to start cooking, let her go cook first!"
Qingyou's mother came out of the house and grabbed the old woman.
"Slap slap—" The old woman slapped Qingyou's mother hard across the face.
"It's all because of you, you useless hen!"
After the old woman finished cursing, she spat in her face again before throwing down the broom and going into the room.
Qingyou's mother wiped her face and glanced at Qingyou with a cold look.
"You finally know to come back! Where have you been gallivanting off to again? If I hadn't come looking for you, someone would have taken this wooden basin and skinned you alive!"
Qingyou's mother scolded her a few times before going back into the house.
"Why aren't you coming in to cook? You're just standing outside like a blockhead."
Ning Qingyou heard this and slowly walked in.
"You're on the stove, tending the fire!"
Qingyou Niang noticed that her pants were soaked and frowned.
Ning Qingyou quickly went to the stove and started a fire.
The firelight was hot, but as it burned, the back of my hand, which was swollen like a bun, started to itch.
Ning Qingyou knew she shouldn't scratch it; if she scratched it raw, it would be even more painful.
After the meal was cooked, Qingyou's mother secretly slipped her a cornbread bun.
You eat first!
After saying this in a cold voice, she left, supporting her back.
Ning Qingyou bit into the steamed bun, and although it was a little dry, she still ate it bite by bite.
Her gaze remained fixed on Zhao Shi as she walked out.
Judging from her appearance, she should be about four or five months pregnant.
In fact, Zhao's situation was quite tragic. Her husband died, and she was forced to remarry with her daughter. Her first child was a woman, and she was looked down upon by her husband's family.
Qingyou's life was difficult, and so was hers.
Even while pregnant, she lived a very miserable life. In fact, the original owner hated her mother very much, feeling that she was never kind to her and had even sold her to someone to be a maid.
Even later, when the original owner had gained some ability, she never came back to see her mother.
Looking back now, this mother was actually quite good; it's just that her own life was tragic, and that was all the kindness she could show the original owner.
Ning Qingyou, you almost choked to death after finishing the last bite of your steamed bun.
The pot was simmering with piping hot porridge. She walked over to the water vat, took a ladle, and scooped up a mouthful of water.
The water was ice-cold, and after drinking it, I shivered all over.
She wiped her mouth and waited for her meal.
In this family, she, as a burden, has no right to eat at the table.
Just then, the old woman from before came in, filled a bowl with some porridge, and then called for someone to take it away. She also took away the steamed buns that were in the pot.
Before leaving, she turned back and looked at Qingyou.
"You can eat what's in the pot!"
It was as if giving Qingyou these things was some supreme honor.
Qingyou walked up to the pot, took a spoon, and poked around in it, only to find that it was just a thin soup with not a single grain of rice in it.
What incredible skill it takes to do all this!
