On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 12 Establishing Prestige
Lan Yue sneered, "If you don't come, will I beat you? Wang Dahua, not everyone can eat our meat!"

Wang Dahua gritted her teeth and said, "What's the matter? What's the matter? What's wrong with me eating some meat? I have raised you for more than ten years. If it weren't for me, do you think you would be alive today?"

If she hadn't taken the dead girl home to raise her that winter, would she have thought she would be alive today? What's wrong with eating some of her meat? How stingy!

"I don't care. If you don't give me meat today, you won't be able to eat it!"

Gu Yan's eyes dimmed. This man was simply looking for death.

Liu was actually amused by Wang Dahua's words, "Wang Dahua, I didn't expect you to be thicker-skinned than a tree. I paid for this meat. What's the point of forcing Lan Yue? Do you want to stop us from eating meat? Do you believe I can make you look for teeth on the ground? You won't even be able to eat meat in the future!"

The people around didn't say anything. At least they had something to watch while fleeing from the famine, and it added some fun to their exhausted lives.

"Okay! Wang Dahua, you should have a conscience. If you want to eat meat, cook it yourself. Don't stare at other people's meat all day long." The village chief really couldn't stand it anymore. It was a disaster for Wang Dahua to follow them. He was restless all day long. It was hard enough to flee from famine, and now he was making a lot of noise here. He was in no good mood at all.

Wang Dahua curled her lips and said, "Isn't it just meat? Can I buy it with money?"

Her lovely grandson was waiting to eat meat, and she didn't want to go back empty-handed, lest his grandson make trouble again.

"No, no, if you want to eat meat, you have to find a way yourself. We won't sell you meat." Liu refused without even thinking.

"Why don't you leave?" Lan Yue looked at Wang Dahua coldly, "You know this, right? It's a chaotic world now. If someone disappears for no apparent reason, what do you think..."

Wang Dahua:?!
Wang Dahua was so scared that she ran back quickly. She didn't expect that this damn girl would dare to threaten her!

But she was right. In these troubled times, if people died, who could care less?
Wang Dahua lowered her head, her eyes full of malice.

"Grandma, meat!"

"Eat the meat. I'll see how you make trouble after you finish eating." Wang Dahua was in a bad mood and was not so doting on her own grandson. Now it was a chaotic world and it was good enough to be alive. She didn't bother to care about her grandson.

Li Fugui touched his head. What happened? Why did grandma change?

Li Tao and Li Cuihong looked at each other. It seemed that they would have no meat to eat in the future.

There really isn’t much meat at home, and my son keeps asking for meat every day. If this continues, our family will have to eat only wild vegetables before they even reach South City.

After eating and drinking, brushing her teeth and washing her face, Lan Yue took out a coat to cover her body. She did not sit in the carriage. She asked Gu Yan and his family to sit in the carriage to rest. The journey was long, and Gu Yan was a boy. Liu would definitely rely on him in the future, so he had to have a good rest.

Nothing happened all night.

The next morning, the village chief took them on their journey.

If you want to go to the Nancheng border, you have to take both the flat road and the waterway.

There are at least five or six county towns to pass through. They have just passed the first one. If they don't hurry, they will not be able to reach Nancheng until at least New Year's Eve.

As a result, their travel expenses and food would not last until that time, so they had to hurry on their journey, getting up early and going to bed late.

A group of people were hurrying along in the flying dust and yellow sand.

They didn't rest much that day, and kept on traveling until it was almost dark, when they finally arrived at a small town. There were many people fleeing famine in the town, and their team was only about fifty people, with more men than women, so they were not afraid that these people would come up and rob them.

They were cautious about the people around them, and then found a place to rest far away from these refugees.

"Everyone has seen it, right? Not only people from our village are fleeing famine, but also people from other places. The journey may not be safe. Be careful with your food and don't let it be stolen." The village chief's words made them feel a lot more nervous.

In today's chaotic world, bandits may also come down the mountain. These people fleeing famine are not kind people. They naturally know how serious what the village chief said is.

Moreover, there are many elderly people in this team. They also fled from famine before and know the dangers involved.

Liu and Lan Yue found a place to camp away from other people.

The horse was also fed some water and some dry food.

They didn't plan to cook tonight, just eat something to fill their stomachs and make plans tomorrow morning.

The people around them didn't make a big fuss about cooking. Everyone around them was fleeing famine like them, and they didn't have much food, and couldn't eat it at this critical juncture. What's more, the Liu family didn't move, so they couldn't move either.

Wang Dahua also thought so, but her lovely grandson didn’t think so and kept asking for meat.

Li Hai's family of four took their steamed buns and hid aside to eat them. They were too lazy to care about the affairs of the eldest wife's family.

Eating meat at this time, isn't it telling everyone that they have meat at home, so why not come and grab it quickly?

Wang Dahua did not take out the meat out of concern for Li Fugui. She didn't have much meat left. If she ate meat every day, what would she eat in the future?
"Enjoy your meat buns well. If you make any more noise, I won't even give you meat buns." Wang Dahua had a fierce look on his face. He didn't use his usual polite and doting tone towards Li Fugui. Li Fugui was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that his loving grandmother would suddenly lose her temper with him.

"Wow!"

Li Fugui couldn't hold back and burst into tears, his voice was so loud that it could deafen people's ears.

"Grandma, you don't love me anymore! No matter what, if you don't give me food, I will cry!"

Wang Dahua frowned slightly. It seemed that this grandson was spoiled by her. But now she was not at home, nor was it a peaceful time. She couldn't spoil her grandson like this all the time. Besides, who doesn't want to eat meat? Before, she spoiled him because he was young and couldn't eat much meat. Now, no matter what he said, she would not spoil him anymore.

Wang Dahua said nothing. She took the meat bun and sat next to him. She didn't care whether the boy ate it or not, or cried or not. He was just a grandson, not as important as her own life.

Wang Dahua is a selfish person at heart. She is nice to her grandson only depending on the environment and conditions. Otherwise, she would not have spoiled Li Fugui all the time.

Li Tao and Li Cuihong looked at each other, not understanding why their son's trick didn't work.

Looking at Wang Dahua eating the meat buns self-sufficiently and then looking at his son throwing a tantrum on the ground, Li Tao had no choice but to coax his son not to lose his temper. If they made noise in the middle of the night, they would definitely be in trouble.

"Son, don't cry. Be careful that your grandma won't talk to you anymore. Besides, we don't have a home now." Li Tao picked up Li Fugui and whispered to comfort him, "Your grandma may have encountered some troubles. No one will eat meat tonight. Just bear with it for one night and don't make a fuss, okay?"

　A day's plan begins in the morning...
