The Gao family was so poor that they couldn’t afford breakfast. Therefore, they got up early in the morning, cleaned themselves up, and got into the carriage. They went as far as they could.
They didn’t have a chance to stop for lunch until noon.
At noon.
They were almost at the spot Little Phoenix had pointed out. Feng Wu held her stomach.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the change in Feng Wu’s expression, Li asked in concern.
Feng Wu said, “It’s nothing…”
Li said, “I can tell by the look on your face. Are you hungry?
Feng Wu chuckled.
“Teehee.” Li was amused. She realized that although the girl wasn’t very pretty, she was very likable.
“Mingjiang.” Lady Li came out of the carriage and whispered something in Gao Mingjiang’s ear.
Their carriage led the way, and Gao Mingjiang nodded at his wife’s words. “It’s indeed almost noon. It’s time to take a break.”
He raised a red flag, and the carriages behind him stopped as well.
They stopped and started cooking.
Feng Wu was a member of the fourth branch of the family, and the branches took turns doing chores every day. Today, it just happened to be their turn to gather firewood.
Feng Wu already knew that.
After they got off the carriage, Feng Wu took the two children from the fourth branch. “Xiaoshu, Sanya, let’s go get some firewood.”
Li said, “Why are you three kids picking up firewood? I’ll go get it!”
Of course, Feng Wu wanted to go. If she didn’t go, she wouldn’t be able to pick up her provisions.
Hence, Feng Wu suggested, “Let’s go together.”
Li said, “I can go with you, but you have to behave and stay where you are. It’s dangerous up there. What if a wolf comes out?”
Feng Wu nodded immediately.
The two kids nodded as well.
Only then did Li relax a little.
The wife of the third son arrived at that moment. Seeing that they were going to fetch some firewood, she suggested with a smile, “Sister-in-law, how about you stay here with the kids to make lunch, and I’ll go fetch some firewood?” She wanted to make it up for what her husband did the day before.
Picking up firewood was much more tiring than cooking.
Li hesitated.
Feng Wu turned her down with a smile. “Aunt, I was going to take a look in the woods. What if I catch a wild rabbit?”
“Oh my!”
Hearing that, Lady Gu almost burst out laughing. “You’re such a braggart. How could you catch a wild rabbit? I’ll kneel down in front of you if you can find an egg.”
The others all looked in that direction.
After all, they had been out in the wild for so long and didn’t have much chance to eat meat or fish. They couldn’t stand the mention of wild rabbits. “I’ll take a walk in the woods, too.” The third son ran into the woods as soon as he heard that.
The second son said, “Brother, wait for me!”
The eldest son frowned and shouted, “Be careful! Don’t go too deep! Come back if you can’t find any rabbits!”
“Alright!” The two brothers said in the distance.
“You’re stuff is that way! They’re heading for it!” Little Phoenix was anxious. “Let’s go before they take it away. I’ve painstakingly collected everything myself. It couldn’t be too new or too old. That was so hard!” God knew how many houses it had to visit to find everything.
As for stealing…
How could it be considered stealing? It had done as Feng Wu said and left behind a silver ingot!
Everything was bought!
