Chapter 95: Have a Bite

g."But you shouldn't be too despairing."He watched Fang Jinshu silently endure her sadness, her eyes even reddened with suppressed tears.He once thought that nothing in this world could stump a woman...Zongyu heard his younger brother's shout, the smile on his face couldn't be concealed any longer, and he pushed away Zonghu's hand.

"Thanks, big brother, but I'll let you keep it."

He immediately strode toward his younger brother, and the villagers cast envious glances at Zongyu.

At this time, there are still family members who remember to bring food, what a fairy-like daughter-in-law.

Someone said sarcastically, “So what if you're bringing food With this drought going on, who has any decent food left at home.”

"It's just some wild greens plucked from between the teeth, aren't there plenty of those all over this mountain"

After he finished speaking, he angrily pulled a handful of unknown weeds and shoved them into his mouth, chewing them ventfully.

"... mumbling, 'It definitely isn't anything delicious.'"

But the people around him craned their necks to look at Zong Yu's direction, almost sticking their eyeballs into the basket of food that Zong Bai sent. They wanted to see clearly what was inside.

He caught a whiff of something, just a hint of fragrance.

Sniffed the air hard.

"I don't think it's a wild vegetable leaf. I seem to smell something very fragrant."

After saying that, I felt my mouth watering.

This idea wasn't just floating around in the minds of a few people. At this point, nearly everyone’s eyes were fixed on the small food basket in Zong Bai's hand.

Zongyu wasn't worried about being robbed at all, let alone these people who were so hungry they couldn't even walk.

Even if they were all well-fed, they might not be able to snatch a single grain of rice from his hand.

So he sat down on the ground with a carefree air, his face beaming with uncontainable joy, and his heart was even more ecstatic.

"What delicious food did your sister-in-law make today Why is it so fragrant"

Fang Jinshu had only been at their house for a few days. Besides the first day when she roasted rabbit and made some seasonings, Zongyu hadn't really let her cook.

It's not that he doesn't trust her cooking skills, but he feels since he's at home anyway, he's gotten used to taking care of everything himself.

This is the first proper meal Fang Jinshi cooked after arriving at her ancestral home.

That egg pancake from breakfast yesterday, I guess that counts as half a meal, Zongyu made the pancakes.

When it came to today's meal, Zongbei was even more excited than his older brother.

"Your sister-in-law dug up some bamboo shoots today and made a dish of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, it smells so good and tastes delicious!"

"I ate a lot, brother, you try it."

Zong Bai took the cloth cover off the basket, revealing the food inside.

The fragrance suddenly became even stronger, and the villagers couldn't help but gather around. However, they were afraid of Zong Yu's reputation and dared not get too close.

He stood more than a meter away from his brothers, encircling the place where they were sitting.

Everyone stretched their necks to look into the basket. There were vegetables and cakes, meat and vegetarian food!

Such a meal, even before the drought, was something many families couldn't afford.

Suddenly, the villagers' mouths watered even more, and the grass leaves they held containing earthworms seemed a bit less appetizing.

When Fang Jinshu was preparing the meal, she considered that Wang, the village head, had done a favor to Zong Yu, and also thought that the people who went up the mountain might not have anything to eat. Therefore, she prepared more biscuits.

Zongyu immediately saw it, and a sweet spring water seemed to flow through her heart.

Such a considerate daughter-in-law, I wonder what kind of luck he had to marry her.

Zongyu resisted his hunger and walked up to Wang, the village head, and Zong Hu with two pieces of cake in hand.

"Uncle Wang, big brother, have some."

Wang, the village head, and Zong Hu looked astonished. They never expected Zong Yu to share his meal with them!

At present, every household is struggling to make ends meet. People are so desperate for food that they even hesitate to show it. Zong Yu's actions have made Wang Village Head feel deeply ashamed.

When people in the village called him a demon, a ferocious ogre, he chose silence and never said a good word for him.

They would often turn a blind eye when several elderly members of the Zong family frequently went up the mountain to cause trouble for them, fearing that they might get implicated and bring trouble upon themselves.

Those few people from the Zong family were all having incredibly difficult births.

Back then, he only stood up and spoke a fair word when they drove the second room out of the house. After that, he was constantly harassed by the patriarch and his son.

Village Head Wang took the pastry from Zongyu's hands, his heart a jumble of emotions.

To be fair, it's the village head's responsibility to speak up. For him, even lifting a finger isn't too much to ask. Mediating these trivial matters in the village is simply part of his job.

But this kid, he actually kept it in his heart all these years.

Wang Cunzhang felt ashamed, as did Zong Hu.She squeezed her eyes shut, ready to grit her teeth and endure the searing pain of the blow.She thought that anyway she had Xiao Lu, even if she was injured and returned to the Lingquan space, she cou...
