Chapter 408 Things are changing
Wang Youcai and his wife had been used to getting up early for so many years, so they didn't take her roar seriously at all and just continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Last night Wang Qiuhuo smashed the kitchen to pieces. She had to clean up the things inside and then go to Chengyang County to buy some replacements.
The sound was still coming intermittently from outside. Because it was morning, the sound was particularly clear. Wang Qiuhuo could no longer bear it and sat up suddenly.
She felt sore in her back and waist from the sleep she had suffered. She had never slept on such a hard bed before. It was simply torture. Since she couldn't sleep, she simply got up.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Wang Youcai and his wife were cooking. There was no rice or flour last night, but in just a few hours, rice and flour were available.
Wang Qiuhuo snorted coldly. You hid all the things. Are you trying to starve her to death? Bah, I am just not what you want.
Even the dog slaves dared to bully her like this. She is going to go look for her sons now. When she finds her two sons, you just wait.
"Where is my son?" Wang Qiuhe stood at the kitchen door with her arms folded across her chest, blocking most of the light from the kitchen. She held her head high, looking more proud than a peacock.
Wang Youcai was making a fire and threw a piece of wood into the kitchen. The wood quickly ignited, emitting red and yellow flames and burning with crackling sounds.
He seemed not to have heard what Wang Qiuhuo said and was observing the situation in the kitchen at all times.
Zhang Guihua kneaded the multi-grain flour, and when the pot was hot, she took out a piece of the flour in the basin the size of a baby's fist, formed it into a flat round shape, and stuck it to the inside of the iron pot.
Stick them on one by one, until there is no more grain noodles in the basin and the pot is full.
After covering the pot, Zhang Guihua chopped the wild vegetables and prepared to make wild vegetable soup.
Wang Qiuhuo watched their every move and saw that they didn't take her seriously at all. How could she be willing to do that?
"Are you two deaf or blind? Can't you see I'm here? Don't you know I'm talking?"
"Your two sons are in the county town, they don't live here. Go find them and enjoy life with them." Wang Youcai didn't want to pay attention to her at first.
But this person was really annoyed, so it was better to let her leave as soon as possible. Her legs were on her body, so she could go wherever she wanted. When the Marquis' Mansion received a message, she could say that she left on her own.
"Hmph, you knew it but didn't say it earlier. You're really asking for trouble." Wang Qiuhuo was complacent. She thought that they said it because she was so powerful and they were afraid.
The water that she drank last night had long been digested. Wang Qiuhuo was hungrier than yesterday. She also saw that the pot was full of pancakes, so she wondered if they would agree if she wanted a pancake later.
Thinking of this, I decided not to leave and just stood at the kitchen door and watched quietly.
Wang Youcai and his wife were confused by her gaze and no one paid any attention to her.
Look if you want to. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear from his shadow. He is not afraid of anyone looking at him.
Finally the pancakes were cooked. Wang Youcai had already stopped cooking. Zhang Guihua started cooking first. The unique aroma of multi-grain pancakes instantly spread throughout the kitchen.
Even Wang Qiuhuo, who was standing at the door, felt that the taste was unusually sweet. It just tasted so good, so it must taste delicious.
Once upon a time, she was a person who was very particular about food. She would not even look at this kind of multi-grain pancake and would never bring it to her table.
Unexpectedly, things have changed and now she is drooling over a multi-grain pancake and swallowing the saliva in her mouth with difficulty.
Wang Qiuhuo looked at the steaming multi-grain pancakes that had just come out of the pan with hope, and she wanted to keep her eyes glued to them.
"I'm hungry, can you give me one?" Although the words were spoken in a questioning tone, the attitude was very firm.
"You can eat if you want. It's one penny each." Zhang Cuihua said without raising her head. She continued working, taking the multi-grain pancakes out of the pot and putting the wild vegetables she had prepared into the pot.
Wang Qiuhuo also basically knew the routine of getting along with them and would not take advantage of them in the slightest. She had those few coins, so there was no need for her to get angry with two lowly slaves.
"Then I'll buy four pancakes, but you have to give me a bowl of wild vegetable soup as a gift." Wang Qiuhuo began to bargain. The wild vegetable soup in the pot, whose name she didn't know, didn't look tasty at first glance, but it was better than nothing.
It was just a bowl of wild vegetable soup, so Zhang Cuihua agreed. After eating and drinking her fill, Wang Qiuhuo burped loudly.
The multi-grain pancakes just out of the pot smelled delicious and tasted just so-so, but that bowl of wild vegetable soup was really unpalatable.
It seems that she has to find her son as soon as possible, it is simply torture here.
After eating and drinking, Wang Qiuhuo went to Chengyang County. She was still injured and wanted to ask Wang Youcai for money, but after thinking about it, she gave up. It was her own fault that she had lost her power. She was like a tiger in a plain, being bullied by a dog. She would remember this grudge first.
The village where she is now is a long way from Chengyang County. For places like this where the distance is quite long, there are usually special ox carts.
But Wang Qiuhe didn't know that when he went out, the ox carts had already left. He had to either wait until the afternoon or walk to Chengyang County by himself.
She was eager to find her son, so after asking for directions, she decided to walk there by herself.
It was unknown how long the journey would take, so Wang Qiuhuo stole a kettle while the couple was not paying attention, filled it with water, and then went out.
She didn't feel tired at the beginning, but soon she couldn't hold on any longer. When she went out before, she always rode in a carriage or a sedan chair. Why did she need to get off and walk?
At this time, Wang Qiuhuo was already sweating profusely. She just asked a passerby and found out that it was still ten miles to Chengyang County, which meant that she had only walked halfway.
Oh my God, is this trying to kill her? Her legs are so tired that it takes a lot of effort to take every step. At this rate, it will be dark by the time she reaches Chengyang County.
She didn't know how many times she had sat on the side of the road to rest, and the rest times were getting longer and longer.
Seeing that the water in the kettle was almost gone, she was reluctant to drink any more. She just hoped that there would be a passing horse-drawn or ox-drawn cart that could give her a ride.
She waited and waited until she finally saw a carriage passing in front of her. Wang Qiuhe didn't care about being tired and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop."
The carriage really stopped, and a thin driver got off: "What are you shouting, woman?"
"It's like this, I want to go to Chengyang County, but the journey is too far. I wonder if I can take your carriage. I'll pay for it." Wang Qiuhuo said anxiously.
Little did she know that she would regret this incident so much later.
