Capítulo 491: Chapter 491 Ingratitude
Tang Chuxia was eating a chive pocket when she was led into the room by four little guys. Yang Yingjie and the three others lay in a row on the kang bed, all with injuries, looking a bit disheveled.
But at this moment, they were all giving Tang Chuxia a look of deep grievance.
Tang Chuxia asked in confusion, “What’s with those looks?”
She took another bite of the chive pocket, the unique fragrance of which was so rich that it made the four men involuntarily swallow.
And with four little radish heads standing alongside, each of them holding a chive pocket and eating so joyfully.
Gurgle gurgle—
This sound rang out.
It was followed by a series of similar sounds.
Only then did Tang Chuxia realize, oh, they were all hungry!
“You four all have mouths, how come none of you said you were hungry?”
After she said this, the four kids immediately ran out.
They knew that these four uncles were friends brought by Tang Chuxia; they couldn’t let the guests go hungry.
Seeing the four children each holding a chive pocket and handing it to them, they all started to feel embarrassed.
In this state, they felt a bit ashamed.
Tang Chuxia gestured to the four little radish heads, “Don’t worry about them, they think their hands are too dirty, so they’re embarrassed to eat.”
Yang Yingjie pleaded helplessly, “Xiaxia sister, if you’re going to be kind, at least let us wash our hands, right?”
Tang Chuxia acknowledged with an “oh,” and fetched a basin of water from outside, letting them wash themselves.
The four of them couldn’t be too demanding; they just made do, and then expressed helplessly, “Truly, when asking for help, one must put aside all pride.”
Especially self-respect.
Tang Chuxia nodded in agreement, “Exactly, a person who works as a big secretary really understands social niceties. Hurry up and wash your hands to eat, and when you go back, remember to give Sister-in-law Huang a thank-you gift. One should know how to be grateful!”
The four of them were somewhat speechless.
How did a perfectly fine conversation end up feeling so awkward coming from Tang Chuxia’s mouth?
Huang Cuifen hurriedly said, “No need, really no need; it’s just a bit of food, it’s not worth much!”
But Tang Chuxia said to Sister Huang, “How can that be!”
Then she noticed that the chive pockets the four kids were eating didn’t contain eggs, while the ones they had did.
Huang Cuifen had really put her heart into preparing the food, giving them the best of what she had, without asking anything extra.
For that alone, Tang Chuxia wouldn’t let these four guys be ungrateful.
Yang Yingjie assured, “Don’t worry, we’re not the kind of people who forget favors and violate the old.”
Tang Chuxia nodded.
Good that they knew!
The four grown men, all very hungry, could see that Sister-in-law Huang’s home situation was tough; they chose not to eat too much, just maintaining enough in their stomachs.
But Sister-in-law Huang noticed their politeness and strongly urged them to eat more. Fortunately, at that time, the vegetables they grew themselves had started to sprout, and even though the flour they ate was mixed grain flour, at least they wouldn’t go hungry.
Tang Chuxia told them not to be overly polite and that it would be fine to give more thank-you gifts in the future.
Only then did the four grown men obediently eat their meals.
However, after they had finished eating, Tang Chuxia exclaimed with an “aiyo.”
“I forgot you all have fractures. Eating chives is not good for inflammations!” After saying this, she even pretended to console them, “But it shouldn’t be a big issue. After all, you all have thick skins and strong flesh; I’m sure you’ll be able to cope!”
Yang Yingjie and the others each clenched their back teeth.
They really didn’t want to say a word.
Tired in spirit.
Hu Mingcheng was the only one who ate with peace of mind, for he did not have a broken bone.
After everyone finished eating, Sister-in-law Huang’s man also came back, and he nodded at Tang Chuxia.
He was an honest man who wasn’t big on talking, but he was reliable in getting things done.
This meant that he had made contact with Gu Beihuai.
Next, all they had to do was wait.
Tang Chuxia didn’t interact with the four limp figures on the kang; they couldn’t move for the time being anyway. All she had to do was wait for Gu Beihuai and his people to show up.
But the four little carrot heads really liked Tang Chuxia and kept talking to her.
“What do you think, how did we get out of that damned place?”
Jin Haidong was the first to ask impatiently.
Lu Qiming, who was joining in the conversation, said, “We couldn’t possibly have flown out!”
The other man sitting with them had a complex look on his face.
Although they hadn’t flown out, it was almost the same.
The man didn’t like to talk, and though he said nothing, it didn’t mean he wasn’t plagued with questions.
“Big brother, let me ask you something, was it really Tang Chuxia alone who brought us to your house?”
Yang Yingjie picked the man as his point of entry, and the man nodded.
He still vividly remembered the shock he felt when he saw Tang Chuxia carrying people into the house.
Who would have thought that Xiaxia, such a slender girl, could carry two men in one hand—altogether that’s over six hundred kilograms of weight.
No matter how you slice it, that’s not something a woman could do.
They say a strong person can lift a great weight, but even that wouldn’t last long and would leave them red-faced and gasping for breath. But Tang Chuxia?
According to what they said, even if we assume the nearest point to the town, the cemetery, it’s still several miles away, let alone the fact that, according to Tang Chuxia’s description, it was probably even farther.
In conclusion, sister Xiaxia really is a divine figure!
However, the state of these four made the man look down on them a bit.
What kind of men were they?
They looked like they couldn’t lift a finger or shoulder a burden.
“What? You guys are doubting sister Xiaxia now?” the man spoke up coldly, making them all quickly come to their senses.
“How could we? We were just inquiring because we’re worried that Tang Chuxia might get hurt!”
Jin Haidong was the most flexible of them all.
It seemed like after he spoke, he was afraid the man wouldn’t believe him, so he pointed at Hu Mingcheng and said to the man, “Brother, if you’re talking about who has hurt sister Xiaxia, it has to be this guy here. He messed around with the adopted daughter taken in by Xiaxia’s family, and before his antics, he even had an engagement with sister Xiaxia!”
The man’s gaze fell upon Hu Mingcheng.
Hu Mingcheng felt a forest of cold sweat breaking out on his back and cursed Jin Haidong in his heart countless times, but he knew he was no match for Jin Haidong. It would be incredibly easy for the Jin Family to deal with him if they chose to.
The man uttered an “Oh,” saying, “Such a scumbag, and sister Xiaxia even saved him, it’s really not worth it. He should have been left outside to feed the wolves!”
The other three nodded unanimously.
If you really got into the details, among the four, only Hu Mingcheng had truly hurt Tang Chuxia and was the person she disliked the most—without equal.
As for why Tang Chuxia would bring Hu Mingcheng along as well, the other three couldn’t figure it out.
It was Lu Qiming who whispered, “Is there a possibility that sister Xiaxia didn’t think that much at the time?”
Jin Haidong spoke irritably, “I’m more inclined to think sister Xiaxia was worried about not being balanced left and right, conveniently one person in each hand, just like a shoulder pole for carrying water—easier to walk if the weight is the same on both sides!”
Yang Yingjie: Ghostly equal weight!
