Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

No, that's not it.

Ding Huan stammered, "We're full, we just really like drinking water."

The words were spoken.

My stomach seemed to be protesting, rumbling even more loudly.

Hunger seems to be contagious; Ding Xiao's stomach also started growling. The two sisters would have their stomachs rumble, one after the other, like a symphony.

The two sisters were so frightened that they quickly covered their stomachs and looked at Zhao Qiuzhi in a panic.

I'm still not full!

It was her fault.

She should have realized it sooner.

Zhao Qiuzhi immediately pulled the two sisters to a shop downstairs from the guesthouse for a meal. The two sisters were initially reluctant to go, saying, "Boss, we don't need to eat anything, really, we're very easy to feed."

After being glared at by Zhao Qiuzhi, the two sisters dared not utter a sound.

Zhao Qiuzhi ordered two large portions of stir-fried rice noodles for the two sisters, asking, "Is this enough for you?"

The two nodded.

Zhao Qiuzhi said seriously, "Tell the truth!"

The two sisters exchanged a glance. "...Not enough."

"How many servings would be enough to fill me up?"

"We don't need to eat until we're very full; these past few days have already been the best we've ever eaten."

"..."

What kind of lives did those two lead before?!

Zhao Qiuzhi asked again with a stern face, "How many portions will be enough?"

Seeing Zhao Qiuzhi's cold face for the first time, the two sisters shrank back and finally told the truth, "Each person... will need seventy, eighty, or ninety portions..."

Without saying a word, Zhao Qiuzhi added twenty more portions.

The boss was beaming from ear to ear.

As if afraid that Zhao Qiuzhi would change her mind, they immediately started cooking.

The pot wasn't big.

You can only cook six portions at a time.

And so this scene unfolded.

Six servings of rice noodles were cooked and placed on the table. The two sisters grabbed their chopsticks and wolfed them down. Before the owner could even cook the next batch, the six servings of rice noodles were already gone.

The boss saw this and quickly sped up, swinging the spatula until it was almost smoking.

Plates piled high on the dining table.

Soon, it was piled up high, like building a house.

The guests were all stunned.

Zhao Qiuzhi was also shocked. Ding Huan looked so thin, but she didn't expect her to be such a big eater. Seeing that all twenty-two servings of rice noodles were gone, Zhao Qiuzhi was a little scared.

I'm worried they might overeat and hurt their stomachs.

"Are you full?"

"I'm full!"

Are you really full?

"real!"

The two sisters were so satisfied they almost cried. "Sister Qiuzhi, this is the most filling meal we've ever had in our lives. Is this our last meal? After we finish eating, will you no longer need us?"

"..."

Zhao Qiuzhi suddenly realized.

So they were afraid that if they ate too much, she wouldn't need them, which is why they kept drinking water to stave off hunger.

Zhao Qiuzhi was a little angry.

Does she look like a ruthless boss?

Even if the two sisters were working for her, she wouldn't let them go hungry, even if they were just Xiao Ding's younger sisters.

Zhao Qiuzhi wanted to curse.

But seeing the two of them like children who had done something wrong, with their hands on their knees, heads down, fidgeting with their pants and not daring to say a word, and considering that they had been running around with her on an empty stomach for a week, how could she possibly scold them?

Sigh.

Zhao Qiuzhi said, "Don't worry, we'll need you again in the future."

The two sisters looked up abruptly, their eyes shining as they stared at her. Zhao Qiuzhi sighed again, "The goods are still upstairs, let's go upstairs first."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

The two sisters followed along happily.

After washing up.

The three of them lay on the large communal bed.

Zhao Qiuzhi couldn't help but ask them, "Brother Ding works as Uncle Qin's bodyguard, so he should get a salary and subsidies. Why are you two still not getting enough to eat? Doesn't Brother Ding help out at home?"

No, no.

Fearing that Zhao Qiuzhi might misunderstand her brother, the two sisters hurriedly sat up and explained, "My brother sends money home every month after he joined the army, but martial arts training is very demanding, and our whole family eats a lot. My brother's salary and subsidies sent home are not enough to cover our food expenses."

"Ding Xiao and I have grown up over the past few years, and our appetites have increased. Chief Qin knows about my family's situation and helps us out from time to time. Otherwise, my family would have been unable to make ends meet long ago."

"..."

Upon hearing this...

Zhao Qiuzhi's dissatisfaction with Xiao Ding vanished instantly.

I thought to myself, no wonder the two sisters had yellowish hair and looked like they were malnourished.

It turns out it really was malnutrition.

Zhao Qiuzhi asked the two sisters how they had managed at home. Since the truth had been revealed, the two sisters stopped hiding it and told Zhao Qiuzhi about their childhood.

To fill their stomachs.

The two sisters have done all sorts of jobs.

They made slingshots to hunt birds, set cages to catch pheasants and rabbits, went into the water to catch fish, shrimp, and crabs, and dug up all kinds of edible wild vegetables in the fields.

In winter, I just lie down.

If you move less, you won't get hungry so quickly.

The two women chatted with Zhao Qiuzhi about their childhood.

Zhao Qiuzhi listened attentively and realized that the two sisters' childhood was spent either looking for food or on their way to find food.

As they talked, the two of them cheered up again. "Now that we're both grown up, we can earn money to support ourselves. Life will be much easier for the family without us two good-for-nothings."

"..."

Zhao Qiuzhi nodded. "If you get hungry in the future, just say so. I won't lack food for you if you're with me."

after?

Sister Qiuzhi really intends to continue using them in the future.

The two sisters were overjoyed.

The three of them took the train back to Ancheng the next morning. They got up early, packed their bags, ate breakfast downstairs, and then hailed a tricycle to head to the train station.

Wait until you can squeeze onto the train.

Zhao Qiuzhi was covered in sweat from exhaustion.

Ding Huan and Ding Xiao started drinking water again. Seeing this, Zhao Qiuzhi opened her bag and put it on the small table. "Drinking water won't fill your bag. Eat something."

In my luggage.

All the food was bought by Zhao Qiuzhi this morning.

Steamed buns, sesame cakes, instant noodles, sausages, all kinds of sweet and savory pastries—they're all filling foods.

The two sisters were moved to tears.

……

On the same train.

Song Mingyu followed the crowd and secretly squeezed onto the train.

After meeting Zhao Qiuzhi, Song Mingyu's hatred was reignited. Coupled with the fact that she had no way out in Guangzhou, she decided to return to Ancheng.

It's been more than two months.

The police in Ancheng probably haven't contacted her again.

I'm not afraid to contact her.

Song Mingyu touched her uneven face. She looked so terrible that even if she walked around right under the noses of the police, no one would recognize her.

Song Mingyu does not have an ID card.

Sneaking onto a train is actually very risky. The best way is to take a private bus. Private buses only require payment and do not require an ID card.

But she had no money.

Song Mingyu had no choice but to take a risk.

Fortunately, she had spent more than two months at the train station and knew how to evade fares. She wrapped a headscarf around her face and squeezed into a group of tall, burly men, using the height difference to conceal herself.

After successfully evading the ticket inspectors, she followed the flow of people and squeezed onto the train.

After boarding the train.

I immediately found a three-seater and crawled under it.

The train slowly started moving.

The staff checked the train tickets several times during the journey. Each time, Song Mingyu hid in the toilet and managed to avoid the ticket check without any serious incident.

A day and a night later.

The train arrived in Ancheng.

Stepping back onto this land, Song Mingyu trembled with excitement.

came back!

She's finally back!

Song Mingyu's eyes welled up with tears; she missed her parents!

Now, the only people who can help her are her parents!
