Chapter 87: Hungry Again

  Plum blossom didn't know what Osmanthus and Cai Nier were talking about, but hearing something about medicine, she probably guessed it was related to herself. Moreover, her impression of Cai Nier wasn't bad either, so she hurriedly invited Osmanthus to bring Cai Nier in.

  Cai Nier was let into the inner room, and Gui Hua went to pour her a drink. When Gui Hua walked in with the water bowl, she saw Cai Nier's eyes staring at Mei Hua's rice bowl, and subconsciously made a swallowing motion.

  Helplessly smiled, Gui Hua also knew that Cai Nier's family was not well-off, and it was hard to get a full meal, let alone meat. So she put the water bowl aside and ran towards the direction of the big kitchen.

  At this time, in the big kitchen, Mo and Yu were washing dishes together. When they saw Guihua rush in, before they could ask her what she was doing, Guihua took the initiative to grab a clean bowl and went straight to the rice pot, scooping out a full bowl of rice with just a few movements.

  "Osmanthus, you didn't eat enough just now?" Yu Shi smiled as she looked at Osmanthus filling her rice bowl, looking exactly like someone who had been hungry for several days.

  Just now at the dinner table, thanks to Guihua's efforts, Yu Shi and several children had their first worry-free and full meal in Chu's house for many years. So, she naturally felt grateful to this girl Guihua.

  "Ah, I'm a bit hungry, looking at my sister eating over there, can't help but want to eat some more, hehe." Guihua said, putting down the bowl of rice she had already served herself, and picking up another empty bowl, directly scooping out some leftover dishes from the serving platter, then carrying two bowls, ran back to her own home.

  Seeing her daughter behave like this, Mrs. Mo couldn't help but feel puzzled.

  According to her understanding of Guihua, Guihua was absolutely not the kind of child who would still be thinking about eating after just having a meal. But now she's acting so out of character, could it be that Meihua is extremely hungry and that's why she ate more?

  Mo worried that Mei Hua would eat too much and hurt her body, so she handed over to Yu Shi and hurried back to her own house.

  While seeing Osmanthus flowers brought another bowl of dishes and rice reappeared, Plum Blossom and Cai Nier were both startled, but looking at Osmanthus flowers handed the bowl and chopsticks to Cai Nier's face, they two just came to their senses.

  "Zaini, there's only some leftover food at home. If you're not picky, just come to my place and have a bite." Guihua stuffed the chopsticks into Zaini's hand, and Zaini subconsciously wanted to dodge, but was scolded by Guihua: "What's wrong, are you looking down on me for giving you leftovers?"

  "No, no, it's not like that, Osmanthus, I'm not..." Xiang'er suddenly panicked and hurriedly tried to explain.

  Actually, Cai Nier doesn't dislike leftover food. In her opinion, the leftovers in front of her are probably even better than the dishes they have at home during Chinese New Year.

  It's probably because of this that she didn't dare reach out to take the bowl and chopsticks.

  Moreover, Cai Nier was very aware of the severity of Chu's old lady. If she had eaten at the Chu's house and accidentally got caught by Old Lady Chu, she might have to pay for it with her own family's money. Cai Nier knew that her family really didn't have any spare silver coins!

  Plum Blossom noticed Chai Nier's concern and said, "Chai Nier, just eat! If anyone asks later, just say I ate it. After all, today is my grandfather's birthday, so eating a bit more is normal."
