Chapter 296
It was fine if he didn't say anything, but Si Qing got even angrier when he said it, and slapped his little hand on the table heavily with a "slap".

The sudden pain made the corner of her mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Silently rubbing the back of his hands behind his back, he glared at Si Zhengping angrily and cursed: "You still have the nerve to say surprise? I think you clearly want to scare me!

Everyone in the village has run out of food, so you don't say a word. If Mrs. Li didn't faint from hunger today, I really don't know that's what you did to the village chief. What's going on in your mind?The people in the village are starving to death, what good can you do? "

Si Zhengping was baffled by Si Qing's scolding.

He stared blankly at Si Qing, and said innocently, "Grandma, there is no shortage of food in the village."

"You still dare to lie? If there is no food shortage, will Mrs. Li faint from starvation?"

Si Qing was so angry that she wanted to slap the table again, but when she thought of the pain in her hand after the slap, she could only point at Si Zhengping and scold him angrily.

Si Zhengping was even more confused.

"Grandma, there is really no food shortage in the village. This year's harvest is quite good. Although the tax is a bit heavy, it will definitely not be a problem to eat bran until the beginning of next spring."

Si Zhengping felt very wronged. If the village really ran out of food, how could he keep it secret?Does he look so unreliable?
After listening to Si Zhengping's explanation, Si Qing calmed down.

Maybe she misunderstood, maybe the village didn't run out of food, but Chen Shitou's family ran out of food?
"Since there is no food shortage in the village, why is Mrs. Li so hungry and dizzy? Is Mrs. Chen's family running out of food?"

Si Zhengping frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "Probably not, I've never heard of her saying that there was no food at home."

"Get up and go to Chen's house with me."

Si Qing called Si Zhengping up and took him to Chen's house.

Mrs. Chen is drying the quilts at home at the moment, and it is rare to see the sun today, so she took all the quilts out and patted them in the yard, so that it would be warmer for sleeping at night.

When Si Qing and Si Zhengping came to her house, they saw her beating the quilt. The cane was waving vigorously, and she didn't look like someone who was starving.

Si Zhengping greeted Mrs. Chen, and asked her if there were any difficulties at home recently.

Mrs. Chen was baffled by his question. Seeing that her aunt had also come, she hurriedly moved a chair for the two of them to sit down. Then she smiled and said, "What's wrong with my family?"

Then he looked at Si Qing again, and asked her beamingly, "Auntie, my wife didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

Si Qing shook his head, and suddenly asked, "Mrs. Chen, is your family short of food?"

Mrs. Chen was taken aback by the question, and then smiled and said: "Let my aunt worry about it. The family is still doing well. Although there is not much food, there is no need to go hungry."

"Then why didn't you feed Mrs. Li, starving her to death?" Si Qing asked her directly.

"Ah? Auntie, I don't have one!" Mrs. Chen was so wronged, she looked at Si Qing innocently and explained, "No matter how bad I am, I won't deduct my daughter-in-law's ration."

"Then why did Mrs. Li faint from hunger at her aunt's house today?" Si Zheng asked with a straight face.

Mrs. Chen was even more wronged: "How would I know? She didn't eat much last night and this morning, and she was persuaded to come. She said she was full."

"Is what you said true?" Si Zhengping's face softened a lot after hearing this, and he still knew a little about Mrs. Chen.

Although Mrs. Chen has a hot temper and a sharp mouth, she is not a woman who rubs against her daughter-in-law. Li Shi has been married for more than two years without any trouble.
