Chapter 90 Don't be polite, we're all on the same side.
When Master Qin saw Gao Mengli, he hurriedly asked, "How is Fatty? We heard she was injured, so we rushed over."
Gao Mengli stepped aside to let them into the courtyard: "Fatty injured her foot, but it has been treated and bandaged, and she is fine now."
The buck-toothed girl rushed over to the chubby girl who was holding a bowl, her mouth full of rice, staring blankly at them. "Chubby girl, are you alright?"
The chubby girl quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, grinned, and looked at the buck-toothed Yu with a bright smile, "Sister Yu, I'm fine!"
Bucktooth Jade reached out and gently tapped the chubby girl's head. "You little rascal, you scared us half to death. When we saw you hadn't come back today, we heard someone say that something had happened to you, so we rushed over."
Seeing the chubby girl's carefree attitude, the toothless father breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at her, "You really scared us to death. We thought you were going to die, and that you were afraid we'd be heartbroken, like an old dog dying of illness, and wanted to find a place to rest in peace."
Qian Yan'er glared at the chubby girl and snorted, "Don't be reckless next time. If you have to go to a banquet and I don't have money, I won't be able to give you a gift."
"Pfft~"
A suppressed laugh successfully turned the heads of the three men and two women to stare at Lin Xi.
"What are you laughing at?" Qian Yan'er retorted, arguing that he was telling the truth.
If the chubby girl dies, all they can do is hold a meager funeral for her.
It's not much better than being wrapped in a straw mat to die.
Gao Mengli glared at Lin Xi and quickly explained, "Xi Xi is happy because the chickens at home laid eggs!"
Qian Yan'er and the others looked suspiciously at the three chickens enclosed in the fence next to them.
Although it's still a young rooster, its comb doesn't look like a hen's. Could it be a rooster laying eggs?
Qian Yan'er pursed her lips. She suspected he was laughing at her, but she had no proof...
The scene became somewhat quiet for a moment...
The chubby girl next to her was completely oblivious to the subtle atmosphere; her mind was entirely focused on the food on the table.
She picked up her chopsticks and reached for the braised pork without hesitation. She picked up a piece of the tempting braised pork with its perfect balance of fat and lean meat. The sauce on the pork dripped from her chopsticks into the bowl, releasing a fragrant aroma.
The chubby girl stuffed the braised pork into her mouth and chewed it with satisfaction, her cheeks puffing out.
The four people next to her swallowed hard, following the chubby girl's swallowing motion.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exchanged a glance, and Lin Xi quickly greeted the group of people who had arrived around mealtime, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Please sit down and I'll get you some more bowls and chopsticks!"
"Oh, this... I can't accept this!" Before Qin Shensheng could finish speaking, she plopped down on her bottom, and the others next to her followed suit immediately.
A beaming smile on her face!
Gao Mengli: ……
Because the chubby girl has a big appetite, we cooked more rice, but it still wasn't enough for four more people.
So she invited them to sit down, and after Gao Mengli ladled a bowl of white rice for each of them, she ran to the kitchen to prepare some noodles with Lin Xi.
The group of people, who had been sitting reservedly at the table, saw the host enter the kitchen.
Immediately, she raised her bowl and scrambled around like a whirlwind. Buck-toothed Yu was like a ferocious beast that hadn't eaten for three days and three nights. Her chopsticks danced wildly as she picked up piece after piece of food and stuffed it into her mouth.
Qin Shengsheng no longer cared about her image as a clerk. Her eyes were fixed on the food, her mouth stuffed full. She had just picked up one chopstick, and she already knew where to pick up the second chopstick!
Qian Yan'er was not to be outdone. Holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, she quickly shoveled food into her mouth, staring at the people around her as she ate, her eyes warning, "Whoever tries to take it will die."
Although the father with missing teeth has poor teeth, he still eats with great relish. When he encounters harder foods, he covers his mouth with his hand and chews them with all his might.
They ate so much that the food on the table disappeared at a visible rate.
"Put it down, that's mine."
With a sharp shout, Bucktooth Jade started fighting with Qian Yan'er.
Hearing the commotion, the two people in the kitchen quickly ran out and saw Bucktooth Jade and Qian Yan'er fighting back and forth, jumping up and down.
Qian Yan'er still fiercely protected the empty plate in her hand, and every now and then, in the gaps between the fights, she would lick the bottom of the plate a couple of times, shouting as she did so, "This is mine, don't even think about taking it!"
Bucktooth Yu Ze persisted, glaring fiercely at Qian Yan'er: "You've already licked it, why are you still protecting it? I just want to smell that scent again."
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi turned to look at the table, only to see that all the dishes had been eaten clean, as if they had been washed with water...
Qin Shengsheng also grabbed an empty plate of stir-fried green peppers and shredded pork, covered it with the little rice left in her bowl, used the rice to wipe up the oil and residue at the bottom of the plate, and quickly put it in her mouth.
The only one who seemed normal was the chubby girl; aside from turning red with anger, she didn't make any other moves.
But Fatty was angry that her feet were wrapped up like dumplings; otherwise, she would have punched Qian Yan'er away.
That empty plate of braised pork should belong to her!
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were stunned by what they saw. They quickly went back to the kitchen and brought out noodles, one bowl each.
If the fighting continues, their two small, dilapidated houses will probably be demolished.
"Stop hitting it, there's still shredded pork noodles."
Lin Xi quickly placed the noodles on the table and greeted the two who were chatting enthusiastically.
Upon hearing Lin Xi's voice, the two fighters stopped what they were doing and quickly sat back down at the table. Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to Lin Xi!
Everyone grabbed their portions of noodles and started slurping them up, enjoying the incredibly delicious taste!
Lin Xi and Gao Mengli exchanged a glance and then sat down at the table.
The two men stared at the group, then habitually picked up their rice bowls from the table, ready to start eating.
Feeling something was off with the chopsticks, the two looked down and saw braised pork and shredded pork with green peppers overflowing from the bowl.
At this moment, the chubby girl chuckled from the side, "Hehe, you two bosses have been so busy taking care of us that you haven't even had a bite to eat. This was specially saved for you, hurry up and eat, or we'll be unable to resist snatching it away!"
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exchanged a glance with the chubby girl, smiled, and then picked up their bowls and ate heartily.
Their chubby girl is such a sweetheart! No wonder she brings her "family" small fried fish every day!
For a moment, the only sounds in the courtyard were people slurping noodles and chewing their food.
Occasionally, someone would let out a satisfied hum.
It was delicious and satisfying, and most importantly, it was hundreds or thousands of times better than the bland soup at Dou Weiyi's residence!
After they finished eating, Bucktooth Yu cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, then squatted by the well and happily washed the dishes.
"Oh, well, we'll wash them ourselves." Although Gao Mengli was a bit lazy, the chubby girl had just saved her and Lin Xi's lives, so how could she let the chubby girl's "family" do the dishes?
Moreover, guests are always welcome.
Bucktooth Jade waved her hand dismissively, "Don't be so polite with me. You cooked and entertained us today, so leave the dishwashing to me. Besides, what's the big deal about us? Fatty saved you, so in our eyes, you're all one of us."
The fact that the chubby girl risked her life to save them meant that she acknowledged them and considered them as one of her own.
If it were Dou Weiyi, they would be happy to stand by and watch the show, and might even cheer for the person who did the beating!
Even if he were beaten to death, they wouldn't even flinch!
