He shook his head vigorously before looking at An Jiuyue. This time, he did not dare to charge at her. Instead, he pointed his finger at her.
“An Jiuyue, you b*tch! You have so much food at home. What’s wrong with sharing some with us? How dare you attack me? Let me tell you this—I gave in to you! I would’ve killed you long ago if you were not a woman!”
He was furious. Not only did he fail to obtain a single grain of grain, but the Chief and the Junior Officer discovered his plans.
He had no reason to feign innocence now. He was determined to stay until he got some food from An Jiuyue.
“No wonder Old An wanted to sell your son! They must have asked to borrow food, but you refused to lend some to them, so they took revenge, right?!!
“You stingy woman! Aren’t you afraid you’ll choke eating all that food alone?
“I’ll let things go if you hand over some food today! But if you don’t, I won’t go easy on you! There are so many of us here. I’m sure we can defeat a little girl like you!”
An Gouzi did not think of pleading with the Chief and the Junior Officer. Instead, he demanded An Jiuyue’s food.
Mrs. Jin was stunned by An Gouzi’s words. “Stop it. Don’t talk anymore.”
There were so many people around them. They had to cover up this matter. Although she also wanted An Jiuyue’s food, she knew it did not belong to them.
“What do you mean stop talking? Why shouldn’t I say anything?”
An Gouzi glared at Mrs. Jin and shook her off. He dragged his aching body towards the Chief and the Junior Officer.
Indignant, he said, “Chief, Junior Officer, you should know what situation we are in, right? Food is scarce! Everyone should stick together! An Jiuyue has food at home, but she’s not sharing it with everyone. What’s the meaning of this?
“Everyone helped her and took care of her frequently last time. But now that we are about to starve to death, she refuses to give us food!
“She’s really evil. Chief, Junior Officer, we have to make An Jiuyue take out her food— Ah!”
Before he could finish what he wanted to say, the furious Junior Officer stood on tiptoe and slapped him hard. The Chief also raised his hand, ready to hit him. His hands trembled, showing how angry he was.
Does An Jiuyue owe us? Is she obliged to give us her food?
“An Gouzi, you’re really something! You’ve sure schemed well! You failed to steal the food, so you want to force Jiuyue to hand it over in the name of our entire village, right?”
The Chief’s face flushed with anger as he glared at the couple.
The others were shocked when they heard what An Gouzi said. They looked at him as if he was an idiot.
“He’s really shameless. He phrased it so nicely even though he just wants to steal food. Does he think everyone who still has food is obliged to offer them to his family?”
“I know, right? An Gouzi, don’t lump us together. My family can fill our stomachs by digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms daily. We’re not so shameless as to rely on Jiuyue’s food to survive.”
“That’s right. The corn I grew has already sprouted. I can even have some fresh vegetables in a few days. We aren’t shameless enough to rely on Jiuyue!”
