hidden old spring

Chapter 3

[Host, are you okay? (っω｀)(╥ω╥)】

Su Changan didn't say anything, the system waited, and after a while, a sentence suddenly came out.

[Host, let’s do a mission. Host, if you complete the mission, I’ll give you delicious food.ヽ(￣▽￣)】

Seeing the word "eat", Su Chang'an paused, his wet eyes filled with anticipation.

She is so hungry.

The system seemed to sense Su Changan's expectations and immediately sent her a task.

[Ask the host to chop the firewood at home before dawn, and you will be rewarded with 10 vegetable dumplings]

Vegetable dumplings?
As if fearing that Su Chang'an would misunderstand, the system immediately swiped the sentence.

[Host, your current body's stomach is only suitable for eating vegetable dumplings. You will get sick if you eat anything else. 】

Su Changan lowered his eyes, hummed softly, finished the vegetable balls in his hands in a few bites, stood up and went to chop firewood.

With just one chop, the sky turned dark, and she finished chopping all the firewood, covered in sweat.

There was such a big movement of chopping firewood and no one came to the back of the house to take a look. Su Changan knew that no one from that family would come over.

Throwing down the ax and sitting down at the base of the wall, Su Changjing quietly looked at the system text that had been written out.

【The host is awesome☆(￣▽￣)/$:*】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, rewarded with 10 vegetable balls]

[Host, do you want to check the rewards? (＞＜)☆】

[The host can choose to extract one by one (￣︶￣)]

Su Changan made a swallowing motion. Her dry throat made her feel uncomfortable. She was so hungry that her body was shaking (trembling), so she almost spoke in a breathy voice.

"Take...get one."

【()Okay~】

A settled vegetable dumpling fell on her hand. There was a square of oil paper placed under the dumpling to prevent her dirty hands from coming into direct contact with the dumpling.

The vegetable dumplings were very big, twice as big as those she had eaten before, and they were also hydrated. Different from the wild vegetable dumplings she had eaten before, the vegetable dumplings rewarded by the system were made from boiled cabbage and spinach.

Su Changan opened his mouth and took a bite, biting off several vegetable leaves that had been soaked in water. The salty taste was just right.

She whined and sped up her eating speed, chewing just a few times before swallowing. Her dry throat made it difficult to swallow, which caused tears in her eyes, but she couldn't stand it at all.

"Ho! You stole it!"

A sudden cry was like thunder. Su Changan's hands shook in fright, and the half-eaten vegetable dumplings fell to the ground. She looked along the source of the sound. Xiao Si was holding one hand on her waist and pointing at her with the other. There was innocent malice on his face, and Su Changan even noticed that there were a few pebbles in his hand.

"Mom! Mom! Grandma! Come out quickly, she's going to pay for it!"

Xiaosi jumped up and yelled, and the originally silent front yard suddenly became agitated. Su Changan was frightened, and his body couldn't stop shaking. A series of comforting words from the system flashed across his retinas.

[Host, don’t be afraid. It’s okay. I replaced the vegetable balls. They won’t notice. Host, don’t be afraid. This is a naughty kid! (｀ω)】

When Su Changan saw the system refresh, he subconsciously looked at the ground. The vegetable dumplings originally padded with oil paper were gone, leaving only a few water-drained wild vegetable leaves.

Her expression was still a bit frightened, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.She wanted to explain to Xiao Si that she didn't eat secretly, but since she had never lied, her lips trembled for a while and she didn't make a sound.Especially after hearing Li Da Niu's loud curse, she shrank back even more, unable to make any sound.

"What a careless thing, a white-eyed wolf who pays for money! He actually learned to eat it secretly!..."

Li Da Niu was the first to rush over, and then rushed towards Su Changan without any explanation and slapped him with a big slap.

"You are a loser, you are a loser, I let you eat secretly, I let you eat secretly! You actually dare to eat secretly! I let you eat secretly! Let you eat secretly!"

The slap slapped Su Changan's back, and she accepted it without saying a word. She just tried to shrink herself as small as possible, and then smaller.

Xiaosi looked particularly happy when he saw Su Changan being beaten. He jumped up and clapped his hands, laughing with "hahaha" and was extremely happy.

The second person who rushed over was the old lady. She was holding a stick in her hand and her face was tense, gloomy and scary.

The old lady saw that Li Da Niu had already taken advantage of it, but she didn't take advantage of it.

It was already dark now, but if you looked carefully you could still see things clearly.

The few wild vegetables on the ground were shining brightly, and the old lady saw them clearly, so she understood what the so-called stealing was about, and she also knew that Su Changan had been wronged (all the vegetable dumplings made at home were eaten, Therefore, there is no stealing. The old lady thought that the ones on the ground should be the ones given to Su Changan before).

But even though the old lady knew about it, she didn't say anything to stop. She just watched with a gloomy face, watching Li Da Niu beating someone.

It wasn't until the men in the family slowly came over and saw the wild vegetable balls on the ground that the grandfather, the head of the family, slowly stopped.

"Okay, what does it look like?"

After hearing what her father-in-law had said, Li Da Niu reluctantly stopped.

She was breathing heavily, her sallow face was slightly flushed, and she looked at Su Chang'an with a twisted expression, as if facing her enemy.

Unable to understand his hatred, he stretched out his hand and pinched Su Chang'an hard, still gnashing his teeth and cursing.

"You little loser bitch, I should have thrown you into a bucket and drowned you when I gave birth to you! Now you actually learned to eat secretly, why don't you starve to death!"

It was just a few bites of wild vegetable leaves. The men didn't take it seriously and left indifferently.

When the old lady left, she took away Xiaosi who was still grinning, and muttered something high and low in her mouth.

"When an old loser gives birth to a little loser, they are both bad luck."

"Hehe, you lose money, you lose money! Two losers!" Before Xiaosi was pulled away, he threw the stone in his hand at Su Chang'an. After seeing it hit her, he followed his grandma with a smile.

Li Da Niu spat at Su Chang'an, and then left without looking back. I don't know if she saw the few weeds on the ground.

In fact, it didn't matter whether she saw it or not. Su Changan was just a tool for Li Da Niu to vent her anger.

Su Changan is the only person in this family that Li Da Niu can beat and scold at will to vent her emotions. Therefore, she has no idea what this daughter is thinking, whether she has been wronged, whether she should bear to vent her emotions. Will think about it.

Su Changan huddled against the wall with her neck hunched over. It wasn't until everyone left that she slowly raised her head, revealing a pale but surprisingly calm face.

Su Changan lowered her eyes and looked at the wild vegetable leaves on the ground that had been stepped on several times. There were still tears on her face, and there was actually some fear in her eyes, but she did regain her composure.

[Host, are you feeling better? 】

Su Changan didn't speak, but nodded after a while, as if giving a response.
