Chapter 259: Mouths that Waste Food

Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu and sighed,

"I know, especially your second grandmother's family, that family is not good, who knows where they are hiding and watching us secretly.

I really don't understand, they went into the mountains to find food, that's because there is no land at home. If there is surplus food, who would be willing to suffer this?

Which family in the village doesn't have a few acres of land?

It's just been harvested in autumn, no one is short of food, especially the second aunt's family, although there are many people, but there are also many fields.

While talking, Xiao Si had already brought the two of them over.

Bai Yunpeng looked at Bai Yunxi with a pale face and smiled embarrassedly, "Cousin, what a coincidence."

Bai Yunxi looked at the two of them with dusty faces, turned her head to look at Xiao Si who was gloating, and curled her lips.

"The forest is so big, we can still meet, it's really a coincidence."

Knowing that they were lying, Bai Yunxi was too lazy to expose them, it was quite boring.

Yang patted the dirt off her body and turned to look at Li and the others, "Cousin, what are you digging?"

"Kuang root, similar to sweet potatoes, can be used when there is a shortage of food."

Bai Yunxi did not hide it and spoke directly,

"Your family has a lot of land and you are not short of food. Why are you running into the edge of the deep mountains? What if you encounter a big animal running away from the mountain, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Hearing Bai Yunxi's question, the two were stunned.

When they hid behind the bushes just now, they did see their cousin standing on the hillside to watch the wind. Was she afraid that wild animals in the deep mountains would run out and attack people?

If so, they did take a risk.

"Isn't it winter now? There is nothing to do in the fields, and we are idle anyway. The two of us thought about going into the mountains to try our luck, and we walked deep into the mountains without realizing it."

Bai Yunpeng is two years younger than this cousin, and he is usually a little scared of this cousin.

In my impression, this cousin always has a high and mighty attitude. My mother would spit when she mentioned her, saying that she always puts on airs and pretends to be a noble person.

"We are busy all year round, and only winter is the most leisurely. Many people stay at home to bask in the sun. You two are diligent and go into the mountains to find food."

Bai Yunxi looked at her and Yang and shook his head.

"Your family is not short of food, is it worth taking risks?"

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, the two were stunned.

Who doesn't want to be idle? They were driven out by my mother. Let them come and see what good things my cousin has got from running to the mountains every day?

"Hey~, my cousin is right. There is no shortage of food at home for the time being, but there are too many people and too many mouths, and the consumption is fast. Take advantage of the free time to go into the mountains. What if you are lucky? Who would complain about eating too much?"

Yang gathered her hair and patted off the dirt on her head, her tone full of resentment.

"Especially, my eldest brother married a beautiful wife and has a baby, who is very delicate. He must eat an egg custard every day, otherwise he will cry with hunger."

Bai Yunpeng glared at her, "Why are you talking about this?"

Chen Jiao just came in, and they were talking about it. It would be bad if it got out.

"Why can't we talk about it? If there weren't two more mouths to feed, would we have to work hard to go into the mountains and forests to find food for them? Besides, my cousin is not an outsider, what are you afraid of?"

Yang was not afraid of him at all, snorted, and turned to look at Bai Yunxi.

"My eldest brother has a nest of children waiting for food, and now he has another nest, and he has brought a burden. So many people only eat and don't work. Let alone going into the mountains to find food now, I'm afraid that the whole family will have to go into the mountains to eat tree bark in the future."
