C8 Eat

Unfortunately, Yu's was old, had been worrying too much recently, and had more and more people in her family. Gradually, she couldn't control herself anymore.

Fang Ruzhu was very satisfied with this point. Fortunately, this house was considered the legendary scholar clan. At the very least, it was much better than some of the women in the village.

The original owner had lowered her head every day and didn't speak. In order to prove that she could forget anything she had learned from the Gu family, she no longer used the etiquette she had learnt from the Gu family, so people felt that her actions were strange. It was no wonder that people in the family didn't like her.

She did not care that much. The Gu family had raised her for more than ten years, but didn't the Fang family have also raised Gu Yiyue for more than ten years? Although what she said was different, it wasn't what she wanted to choose. What did it have to do with her?

At this time, the man's table was already filled with good food. Everyone watched anxiously, and finally, the Yeats had already served up the dishes.

A large pot of cabbage, a large bowl of radishes, and then there was a large plate of congee. Rice? Wheat? sorghum? Rice? Vegetable leaves? It seemed to be a little mixed up.

The dishes had already been served, and Yu's was still sitting at his original seat. At this time, Yeats brought out a stack of tableware from the kitchen and started to fill everyone's stomach.

In Yu's's bowl, Yeats intentionally pushed away the vegetables, trying to take advantage of the main dish as much as possible. The porridge was also the densest, but Yu's did not seem to see her actions, and did not say anything.

Then there were the few women. This time, the Yeats stirred evenly, casually scooping up two big spoons and two spoonfuls, filling the small bowl to the brim. Finally, it was time for the group of girls to feast.

The girl only had two spoonfuls, but the girl's bowl was smaller than the adult's. Furthermore, there was not as much rice in the bowl, so although Yeats tried his best to serve it evenly, the last bowl still only had half a bowl.

However, the table was very big, after Yeats had prepared all of the porridge, she had placed them all on the table, and did not give them all of it. Therefore, she planned to divide the porridge evenly with a spoon as much as possible, otherwise, Yu's might scold her, and not even divide the rice well.

However, just as she was about to pick up the spoon, Yu's spoke out. "Yeats, go find a seat."

"Oh." The Yeats nodded and sat beside the woman who laid out the table with her.

"Yeats, it's been hard on you to cook today. You have contributed the most. Choose a bowl for now." At this time, the Yu's spoke out.

So these meals were also distributed by Yu's. Doesn't this mean that not only does Yu's have complete control over the finances of the entire family, she even had full control over the distribution of the food? No wonder she didn't move the food even after eating dinner.

When Yeats heard her words, he opened his eyes wide and looked at her. It was clear that he did not believe it, but today, a heavenly great honor had fallen on her. Then, it was taken first by his sister-in-law, Lee's. According to seniority, it was her turn, followed by the girls behind her.

Although she felt it was strange, she still went to get a bowl first. Otherwise, if she hesitated, Yu's would scold her again.

"Lee's should go eat too. Everyone should eat." When Yu's saw that Yeats had chosen a copy, she then said indifferently.

Only now did the wives pick up the bowls and chopsticks according to their seniority, and then it was the girls' turn.

But this time, Yu's directly picked the largest bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Fang Ruyi, while the rest of the girls chose the bowl. In the end, according to their age, the one who picked the smallest bowl of porridge was the third house's Fang Yiyuan.

"Yiyun." Just as Fang Yiyun was about to move her chopsticks, Yu's called out: "Yi Yun, you are a big sister. You must know how to be courteous, your little sister is currently growing.

Hearing Yu's's words, Fang Yiyun's eyes immediately reddened, but she still obediently exchanged her food with her sister Fang Yi. Fang Ruxiu knew that this was a matter of Fang Yiyun complaining in the afternoon, and that she had been provoked by the Yu's. Maybe the Yu's did not like people who complained either.

After splitting the food, everyone started to eat. First, the Yu's had to pick up a pair of chopsticks from each bowl of food before the others dared to pick it up again, but this time, eating was not as civilized as eating. Fang Ruzhu only used a dozen pairs of chopsticks to stick her chopsticks into the pot, but after a while, the pot was finished.

This speed is really fast. Fang Ruzhu secretly thought to herself, then she retracted her chopsticks as well. The pitiful her didn't even get a single chopstick because she was a bit slow, but she didn't want to eat that kind of dish anyway.

She slowly ate the congee in her bowl. This was also called food, since the first thing she saw was the lack of appetite, let alone eating. However, the original owner hadn't eaten anything for the entire day, and now her stomach was filled with hunger.

Sigh, Fang Ruyi sighed in her heart. The heavens had given her a second chance, but it was to let her live well and not starve to death. She would still need a very long time to live like this. So she took a deep breath, ignored the pungent smell of the vegetables, and still picked up the congee and put it into her mouth.

As she was taking slow bites, she looked at the people in front of her. They ate really fast, and they were eating with gusto, as if they were extremely delicious. When Fang Ruzhu saw the way they were eating, she began to suspect that she had made a mistake. In truth, this congee was a rare delicacy in this world?

When she still ate less than half of it, everyone else had finished eating. Fang Ruxiu stole a glance at the bowl they had put down, but it had all been wiped clean by their spoons.

"Ru Xiu, why haven't you finished eating?" Yu's asked. If it was before, she would definitely scold him: Who do you think you are, Miss Jin?! However, for some reason, she found Fang Ruxiu to be rather pleasing to the eye today.

"Grandma, I haven't eaten in a long time. My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable." Fang Ru Xiu said.

"Oh, then take your time to eat it. It must be because there are no more dishes. Those little hooves, I don't know if they left any for your sister. Next time, you have to hurry up." Yu's said as he pointed to Fang Ru Xiu.

"I know." Fang Ruzhu held the bowl and stood up while thinking, "I'll go to my room to eat first. I won't delay my mother taking the table. I'll clean the bowl myself and bring it back."

After Yu's heard these words, he looked at Fang Ruyan and said, "It's up to you."

"Thank you, Grandma." As Fang Ru Xiu said this, she bowed to the Yu's, then carried the bowl back to her own small room.

However, it would be too wasteful if she did not eat it. She even had a premonition that if she dared to throw away this bowl of food, she would definitely starve for a few days, and even her parents and brothers would object to her hunger.

So she brought him back to her room, and when she saw Little Four Fang Yicheng, she waved him in.

"Little Four, were you full just now?" Fang Ru Xiu asked.

Fang Yicheng looked at the bowl in Fang Ruxiu's hands, nodded his head, and said: "Elder sister, I'm full."

"Child, you clearly haven't eaten your fill. There's no need to be so formal in front of your elder sister. Speak the truth." Fang Ruxiu closed the door, then said to Fang Yicheng: "Little Four, this is the porridge that elder sister specially left for you. Eat it."

"I don't want it, sister." To Fang Ruzhu's surprise, this child was simply too obedient. He obviously didn't even eat food, and upon hearing the sound of his saliva being swallowed, Fang Ruzhu knew that he definitely didn't despise this bowl of porridge because she had eaten before.

Big sister is sick today, so I can't finish her food. Little Four, are you going to help big sister eat it? Fang Ru Xiu had a different way of putting it.

Fang Yicheng looked at the porridge in the bowl, then looked at Fang Rumian and swallowed his saliva. In the end, he was unable to endure the temptation of the food and drank the porridge.

Seeing that he had finished, Fang Ruzhu stroked his head and told him to go out and play, while she took the bowl to the kitchen.

Yeats was washing the dishes in the kitchen. When she saw Fang Ruxiu come in, she said to her in a small voice, "What's wrong, Ruo Ruo? You didn't eat much just now, but the food is not tasty?"

"Mother, do you want to hear the truth?" Fang Ruxiu smiled mischievously at the Yeats and said, "It really isn't tasty."

Yeats paused for a moment after hearing what Fang Ruxiu said. She clearly did not expect Fang Ruxiu to be so direct, so she turned her head away and no longer looked at Fang Ruxiu. She said even more quietly: "Sigh, mother knows.

"Mother, there's no need to be wronged. If you want to say grievance, mother is even more wronged than me." Fang Ruxiu consoled Yeats for a bit, then rolled up her sleeves and said, "Come, mother, let me help you wash the dishes."

"Child, you still dare to help me wash the dishes? You broke a few bowls the last time, but you cursed me to death." Yeats laughed and then quickly left.

"Alright, thank you mother then. I'll go look for Grandma." As Fang Ru Xiu spoke, she prepared to run outside.

"Wait." When they reached the door, Yeats suddenly called out to Fang Ruxiu: "Where did you say you were going?"

"I'm going to get my milk?" Fang Ru Xiu repeated herself.

"Why are you looking for your mother?" In her eyes, this Yu's was a terrifying existence in this family.

"I promised my grandma that I would go and chat with her tonight." In truth, she didn't know why she wanted to find Yu's, but Yu's was the number one person in the family. Since it was already dark and the Fang family wasn't willing to light up oil lamps, she couldn't do anything about it, so she might as well go and curry favor with Yu's.
