Chapter 198 Rice
Mu Zhengbai really wanted to hit her, but Ruan He was not someone who was easily beaten. She sneered, took a step back, and showed the long dagger in her hand. The fire stick in the other hand did not move. Knocking him politely a few more times, he asked unceremoniously: "Do you dare to touch me?"
Looking at the shimmering blade, Mu Zhengbai became frightened again and took a few steps back, not daring to seriously fight Ruan He.
That dagger is a real thing. If it really falls on him, just pull it and the skin will be ripped open immediately!
Mu Zhengbai took a few steps back obediently, feeling that he was losing face again, so he shouted angrily: "Ruan He! You are so unfilial, I will divorce you for Xiao'er!"
His shouts were loud enough to attract everyone else. Mu Yunchao supported Mrs. Mutai and held Mu Yuanyuan, and walked straight over here.
Mrs. Mu, who had always had a gentle temper, happened to hear Mu Zhengbai's words and immediately walked out angrily. She was so angry that she shouted angrily: "That's enough! Mu Zhengbai, our whole family will not be separated from Xiaohe. If you go, you go! Get out of here! Don’t be an eyesore here!”
Wang Xiaoer just finished his work and came over after hearing this. He glanced at Mu Zhengbai inexplicably and said casually: "What's wrong? You're not happy to live in the house that's been built, are you?" !”
Everyone's tone was unkind, and Mu Zhengbai just walked to the side without knowing what he was saying, and stood in the corner, not daring to say more, and not willing to really go out.
Zhang's mother and daughter followed Mu Zhengbai, and they received unkind looks from everyone. After all, everyone lived in this house together, and the three of them had no strength at all.
Only then did Mrs. Zhang take the initiative to tell the reason why they went out, saying: "We went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms. I heard they were very valuable, so we sold them all to the grocery store."
Afraid that they would not believe her words, Mrs. Zhang pointed to Aunt Zong who was following them silently and said: "Aunt Zong also went with us. If you don't believe it, ask her."
Aunt Zong nodded silently, responded, and said: "We exchanged the picked mushrooms for a lot of white rice."
While she was talking, Aunt Zong had already opened her baggage, which contained a bag of white rice.
Ruan He looked at the bag of white rice in surprise. He didn't expect that they could exchange mushrooms for rice so easily. He always felt weird in his heart.
After all, rice is not too common in Yuecheng, and the price is not cheap. How could they get this bag of rice so easily.
What's more... as far as she knew, there was only one grocery store in the village, and the owner... was not a generous and kind person.
Ruan He felt more and more strange. He raised his eyes, looked at them, and asked: "Grocery store? The one at the entrance of the nearby village?"
Zhang's mother and daughter were at odds with Ruan He, so naturally they would not answer her questions. Aunt Zong smiled gently, nodded, and answered Ruan He's words.
"Yes, a female shopkeeper."
It was definitely Tong Guixiang, the owner of the grocery store. Ruan He paused and looked thoughtful. Everything in that person's store was priced at a high price. It was impossible for them to exchange it for such good rice. They were sure She was fooled, but she had no other clue at the moment. "Then this rice..." Ruan He was about to pour the white rice into the pot and cook it. After all, there was only some yellowed brown rice in her pot. If she could mix it with some soft white rice, it would taste much better.
"This is ours!" Mu Qinghong showed an unkind expression, fearing that she would snatch the rice away, so she stretched out her hand to protect the bag of rice by her side.
"Hong'er..." Now that they are living under someone else's roof, Mrs. Zhang has a little more to think about than her overbearing little daughter, and will not really offend Ruan He so much.
She could see that everyone was now on Ruan He's side, and they could only tolerate it for the time being, otherwise Mrs. Mutai might really drive them away.
Mrs. Zhang showed a little hesitation, as if she was planning to stop her daughter, but before she could say anything, Mu Zhengbai, who was resting in the corner, suddenly jumped up again.
Mu Zhengbai grasped the bag of rice tightly, looked at Ruan He triumphantly, as if he had found some confidence, and said: "Hong'er is right! The rice is ours, I will give you a little at most, and the rest will be given to you." It’s our private house, and we have to keep it for ourselves. We all got these in exchange for hard work in the mountains looking for wild goods!”
He originally wanted to keep the bag of rice, but he didn't expect Aunt Zong to be so honest and take out the rice they exchanged without saying a word. Mu Zhengbai was so angry that he secretly cursed a few curse words.
Ruan He had long guessed that the family of three were not selfless people, and they were even less likely to take the initiative to help with work for no reason. He did not bother to pay attention to them, glanced at them, and walked straight to the built stove. Went back.
The brown rice in the pot cooked for a while. Fortunately, Ruan He controlled the heat well and added the sauce he had prepared. It smelled quite fragrant.
Ruan He picked up the wooden spatula on the side and stir-fried a few times in the pot. The tip of his nose moved slightly, smelling the aroma of rice in the pot, and the regret of not eating white rice faded away.
While they were stir-frying, there was a sound of slight footsteps coming from behind. Ruan He turned his head subconsciously and saw Aunt Zong walking in quietly.
Aunt Zong walked to her side, looked back carefully, then took something out of the small bundle in her arms and stuffed it into Ruan He's hand.
"I hid this secretly. Neither the master nor the madam saw it."
Ruan He lowered his head and saw that it was a rather large potato with a little soil on it. It could be seen that it had just been dug out of the ground and was very fresh.
This potato is always fragrant no matter where it is steamed and fried, or simply cooked and mixed with rice.
Ruan He looked at the big potato, raised the corners of his lips, and showed an expression of joy. He held the potato like a treasure and thanked Aunt Zong.
Seeing Ruan He's happy expression, Aunt Zong also showed a gentle smile and explained: "Early in the morning, the master and his wife insisted on taking me up the mountain to help pick mushrooms, saying that they were helping the family. I That’s when we agreed to go. We were lucky, we picked up a lot of mushrooms throughout the day and sold them to the grocery store.”
