Seeing that Qui shi was going to make trouble, Gu Chunzhu walked towards Xiaocheng and squatted, "Tell mother how you got your nosebleed, you are not a reckless child, Mother will decide for you!"

XiaoCheng's lips pursed in a line of silence, Gu Chunzhu frowned, the child suffered a loss and was probably in a bad mood.

During this time, An An opened her mouth and said: "Mother I'll tell you... I know who hit him ..." She hadn't finished  yet when Old Mrs. Su quickly went over to cover her mouth.

"You already apologized to your second sister in law, that's enough." Old Mrs. Su let go of An An's mouth and muttered in her ear, "Your father and mother must have bought delicious food at home. Go back with your brother. "

    " Mother, let's go home. "An An softly called Gu Chunzhu and took her and Xiaocheng's hand wanting to go home. Thinking about the delicious food that her mother always bring back, she gulped

    "Forget it, let's go." With Old Mrs Su deliberately letting them go, Qiu shu could only pretend to wave generously.

Gu Chunzhu's eyes were clear. While listening outside earlier, she thought that Xiao Cheng and An'an must have had a dispute with Xiao Lai. Otherwise, how could such a big child scold such nasty word as "wild species"


The first thing she thought after XiaoCheng had a nosebleed was the two children having a fight.

Xiao Lai must have bullied Xiao Cheng, but she couldn't find the right to get angry with a child so she took it out to the arrogant Qiu shi. It was her who taught her child anyway.

Now, also feeling angry, Gu Chunzhu was ready to take the two children away. Xiaocheng on her right hand suddenly stopped his footsteps, his a pair of phoenix eyes swept in one direction, he said firmly: "Our fishing rod was  taken!" "

"Don't talk nonsense about fishing rods." Qiu Shi hurriedly retorted, waving her hands behind them like a god of plague.

Speaking of fishing rods, Gu Chunzhu finally connected things together. When she was outside the door, Xiaolai cried because he wasn't allowed to play catch shrimp?. Then ... Gu Chunzhu shuddered.

"It was aunt two who went to our house to get the fishing rod and made my brother go to the river to fish shrimps alone." An'an's little finger pointed at Qiu's body. Gu Chunzhu's face turned more ugly.

Even Su Wangqin clenched his fist angrily. He went to Qiu Shi and Old Mrs Su's side and asked in a low and angry tone, "Mother, did you about know this?"

    "I ..." Old Mrs Su's lips opened guiltily. Her heart trembled.

    "The river is dangerous, incase he fall, we could lose him!" Su Wangqin's hand tightened a little more, and his finger bone snapped. Qiu Shi was almost frightened to cry when he saw this.

A small figure came out of the inner room and threw out the fishing rod. He angrily scolded: "who cares about your broken fishing rod? Don't bully my mother and get out quickly."

Xiao Cheng hurried to pick up the fishing rod. Gu Chunzhu looked at the child with heartache. He knew that it was an important economic source in his family. When he was beaten and asked, he didn't say anything, but he took the initiative to say that the fishing rod was taken away.

"Have you caught any shrimps?"
Gu Chunzhu also followed Su Wangqin and approached Old Mrs Su, she asked.

    "Of course such a small child did not ..." Old Lady Su still wanted to help Qiu Shi cover up.

 An An's small mouth opened to tell the truth and said "Brother is very powerful. Today, he caught half a barrel of shrimps, but mother is even more powerful."

An An was stared by Old Mrs Su and Qiu shi. The little head can only stare at the ground, her little feet drew circles on the floor.

    "Where are the shrimps?"
Gu Chunzhu stared at Qiu Shi.

Qiu Shi shivered, Gu Chunzhu's eyes seemed to rush over and ripped her hair in the next moment, she answered,

"In the kitchen."

 As soon as Qiu shi finished speaking, Gu Chunzhu rushed into the kitchen to lift the shrimp and a bucket out.

She recaptured the basket with white steamed buns from Old Mrs Su and threw the buns on the ground and poured the shrimp into the barrel.
The river prawns splashed jumping away from the water. Gu Chunzhu took a blue cloth to cover it. .

"You are such a fool who spoils food. The kitchen god will punish you." Old Mrs Su went to pick up the two white steamed buns on the ground, which were stained with ashes.

Gu Chunzhu was carrying a basket, holding a child in each of his left and right hands, she threw a cold sentence,
"I asked you to look after the children but you let my child go fishing by the river alone, Its a blessing for Xiaocheng to live a long life, Im good enough to give you white steamed buns. "

    " Eldest, Eldest...look at your wife. " Old Mrs Su turned her head to complain to Su Wangqin, but he did nothing.
Su Wangqin had already followed Gu Chunzhu and her children.

    "My river prawns! I'm going to eat it to enrich my body ! The bloodsuckers  have  taken my things awat, who will make the decision for me." Guo God shouted.
(TL: Enrich body/pregnany
Making decision for me: Making decisions based on risks and benefits)

 Such a shout provokes a roar from Su Duo'er who had fallen asleep: "Who is howling like a ghost!"

 Although Qiu shi was dissatisfied and wanted to say something, Old Mrs Su gave her a piercing look. She passed a white steamed bun over, "This one is for Xiaolai, let him have it for a small meal or make him eat it after school."

The remaining white steamed bun must be for her youngest daughter, Su Duo'er.
Fan shi looked silently at the side, her two daughters were nothing at this house.

    Gu Chunzhu and Su Wangqin went home with their children and An An who couldn't stop talking had told everything.

At lunch, Old Mrs. Su only gave them a small piece of sweet potato to eat. In the afternoon, Xiaocheng was sent to catch shrimp while An An was arranged to feed chicken at home, their dinner was half a bowl of gruel.

 Xiaolai came back from school and found that Xiaocheng was catching shrimp, he wanted to do it too but Xiaocheng wouldn't let him take the fishing rod so Xiaolai beat up Xiaocheng.

    "Brother Wang, I will never entrust your children to your mother again."
Gu Chunzhu shed tears on her face. They send the children and was bullied, they also gave them two white steamed buns

"Alright. We'll ask Fu sister -in-law next door. They are all kind-hearted people. I'll cook dinner first." Su Wangqin was also angry. He entered the house and put the child down and went to the stove room

He and Gu Chunzhu only ate pancakes in the afternoon, their stomach already turned over.

Gu Chunzhu also went in to help, and soon the cooking smoke came out of the thatched hut.

They cooked a pot of brown rice porridge, stir-fried cabbage, and a plate of river prawns fried in lard. The lard at home was scraped clean by Gu Chunzhu.
