Chapter 298: Freeloading Off The Unlucky Chen Family (2)

There was indeed some rice left in the pot in the kitchen but it was not a lot – only about half a bowl. And there was extra only because Wang Qiuhua specially cooked a little more in order to ????????

Gu Ruoqing hurriedly scooped it all into her bowl and even took three cornbread from another pot, only stepping out when both hands were full.

Back in the living room, although she finished the scrambled egg with green pepper dish, there was still the salted vegetables dish on the table!

Eating salted vegetables with rice was pretty good too and Gu Ruoqing still wolfed everything down.

She had seriously been starving so bad in the past few weeks!

She burped in satisfaction after she finished all the food and looked at the people opposite her who still had not moved their chopsticks.

Gu Ruoqing: “…”

“Wa…” Chen Xiaobao bawled loudly.

Wang Qiuhua coaxed him immediately. “Baby! Don’t cry! What’s wrong?”

“I want to eat eggs. My eggs… Boohoo. I’ll beat you up. Who allowed you to eat my eggs…”

Like a pressed and desperate little beast, Chen Xiaobao rushed forward and hit Gu Ruoqing’s face.

Piak!

A slap landed. A child did not have much strength but he did use all his strength in that hit.

Chen Xiaobao was treated like an ancestor of the Chen family. Since young, no one had snatched food with him before and eggs were always for him only thus he was very protective of food.

He launched his attacks the moment he rushed forward and his dirty black paws scratched Gu Ruoqing’s face viciously.

“Ah… ah, ah… Get lost…”

Gu Ruoqing never expected that she, a city girl, would be beaten by a village kid and was dumbstruck. In the end, the kid charged toward her to scratch her face. The pain on her face awakened her to her senses at once and she shrieked while pushing Chen Xiaobao out.

Chen Xiaobao was still a child but Gu Ruoqing was already sixteen. The sudden push caused Chen Xiaobao to stumble backwards and hit a stool behind him. He fell on the ground and his hands scraped the ground which grazed his skin.

“Ah…”

The pain caused Chen Xiaobao to break out into tears.

“Xiaobao!”

“Xiaobao!”

Wang Qiuhua and Chen Ergui exclaimed and hurriedly went to pacify him.

On the other side, Gu Ruoqing instinctively stood up and touched her scratched face. She shouted furiously after pushing Chen Xiaobao, “How dare you hit me? Young brat, I am a city girl and my father is the department head of a textile factory. I want your whole family to have a bad life. Ahh, my face…”

Everyone in the Chen family was shocked. They had a reflexive fear toward city people and thought that Gu Ruoqing’s father was a capable man as he was working in the city and was a powerful figure whom small characters like them could not afford to offend.

Chen Honghua was still thinking of enlisting Gu Ruoqing’s help to let her work in the city as well! Anxious, she hurriedly came to placate her.

“Qing Qing, Qing Qing, don’t get angry! My younger brother is still young and immature. Don’t bother arguing with the likes of him.”

Although Wang Qiuhua’s heart ached for her son, she dared not offend Gu Ruoqing and piled smiles on her face. “That’s right! Qing Qing! Xiaobao is still young and immature. Don’t argue with him.”

Facing their fawns, Gu Ruoqing’s vanity was finally gratified. A certain sentiment struck her suddenly – through the Chen family, she seemed to have finally found a way to make her live a little better…
