Chapter 381: Nearly Took His Life
Of the twelve steamed buns, Yan Huanglou had only eaten three.
Chen Changsheng asked, “You were devouring them so heartily earlier. Why stop at just three?”
Yan Huanglou answered, “Mind if I bargain? I ate three. Can I give the other three to someone?”
“Give to someone?” Chen Changsheng asked.
Yan Huanglou nodded. “When things got tough a couple years back, grain prices in the city went sky-high. I was starving half to death. Wang Sanniang gave me some wheat bran—that’s how I survived. Can’t forget one’s roots, you know.”
Chen Changsheng nodded. “I’m full after just two myself. You can have two more if you like. Take the rest to whomever you wish.”
Yan Huanglou smiled. “Much obliged.”
Yan Huanglou placed the buns in a bowl and went next door.
Wang Sanniang lived with her daughter and son. When Yan Huanglou offered them the buns, she seemed reluctant to accept.
