Real And Fake Young Lady: I Have Seven Brothers Pampering Me After I Transmigrated Chapter 421 - 421 Beggar

Chapter 421 - 421 Beggar

421 Beggar
This small shop supplied the daily needs of several nearby villages. It was almost seven in the evening. There were no street lights in the mountains, and the road was rugged. It took more than an hour to walk from here to the shop, and another hour to come back.
Chu Yuan was obviously not willing to go to the store now.
“Er… Big Niece, how about this? I’ll give you money, and you share some food with me, okay? I’ve been exhausted the whole afternoon, and my body is almost worn out,” Chu Yuan touched his belly and smiled sheepishly.
If he had been in M City, he would not have suffered like this. Chu Yuan did not expect that, one day, he would have to starve and beg for food after doing manual labor.
It was not realistic for him to go out to buy anything now. He grew up in the mountains. Although it had been decades ago, it was very dangerous to walk on the mountain roads at night. Besides, at this time, the shop would have been closed.
“Eldest Uncle, I’ve already said that it’s not that I don’t want to, but there’s not enough for my brothers. Or, I’ll give you money, but you’ll give me food, okay?” Chu Ning replied sincerely.
“Chu Ning, you’re doing this on purpose, right?” Chu Yuan stopped smiling and looked at Chu Ning with a dark expression.
“I wouldn’t dare. Eldest Uncle is so rich. What if you hold a grudge against me because of this and target me after returning to M City? What should I do then?” Chu Ning said casually.
Although she expressed her fear, she couldn’t care less about Chu Yuan’s thoughts.
Chu Yuan’s annual income was at most around 1 million. He was considered a very successful person in M City, but it was still not enough in Chu Ning’s eyes.
After hearing what Chu Ning said, Chu Yuan’s expression softened.
He thought that Chu Ning was still in awe of her uncle.
However, Chu Yuan did not know that it would be too easy for Chu Ning if she wanted to deal with him after she returned to M City.
Just as Chu Yuan thought that Chu Ning would agree to share the food with him, Chu Ning’s next words made his mood hit rock bottom again.
“Eldest Uncle, I suggest that you go to the other villagers’ homes to get some food. Their food reserves might be sufficient,” Chu Ning suggested seriously.
In reality, if Chu Yuan really did that, it would be no different from begging.
More importantly, this was equivalent to telling others that he did not have a harmonious relationship with Chu Ning’s family.
He had no choice but to go out and ask for food.
“Hmph, good. You’re good.” Chu Yuan looked at Chu Ning coldly. He knew that if he continued to stay in the Chu residence, he was destined to go hungry.
If he didn’t leave now, he would have to continue being humiliated later.
He had to personally watch the younger generation eat while going hungry himself…
Thinking of this, he left the central room in a huff.
Outside the central room, the beautiful woman saw Chu Yuan walk out with a gloomy face. He walked further away without saying a word.
“Chu Yuan, it’s so late. Where are you going?” The beautiful woman hurriedly said.
“I’m going find you something to eat!” Chu Yuan shouted angrily.
“Why are you angry at me? I didn’t provoke you!” The beautiful woman felt like she had been unjustly attacked. This kind of situation had almost never happened in M City.
However, they had not even been there for a day, and Chu Yuan had already lost his temper at her twice.
Chu Yuan walked to the door of the house closest to the Chu residence and lightly knocked on it.
Although it was only around seven in the evening, the central room of the house was already dark.
The people living in the mountains did not have television, mobile phones, or other electronic products for entertainment. They did not have the money to buy them, and even if they did, they would not have the time to use them.
Other than the village chief’s house, which had a television, there were no other electronic products in the whole of Laoshan Village.
After dinner, they would go to bed at six or seven and wake up at five in the morning to begin another day striving for survival.
“Who is it!” Chu Yuan knocked on the door for more than ten seconds before a voice came from the central room.
After hearing someone’s reply, Chu Yuan felt a little ashamed.
He was too embarrassed to reveal the reason for disturbing his rest… If his own relatives didn’t provide him with food, how repulsive was he!
“I’m Chu Jinng’s eldest son, Chu Yuan.” Chu Yuan eventually answered. He had not stayed in the village for almost 30 years. Even if he said his name, the other party might not know his identity.
He had no choice but to bring up his deceased father to indicate his identity.
“Just wait.” After hearing Chu Yuan’s answer, the voice in the central room replied very quickly.
