233 As Long as You Don’t Starve
For a moment, the fireplace was buzzing with chatter!
With cries of “Father”, “Mother”, “Brother”, “Sister”, and so on. The scene was in chaos.
“I’ve always wished that I had a brother! This way, whenever I’m bullied, I can go home and complain to my brother and let him teach those people who bullied me a lesson! I really didn’t expect that I can actually fulfill my childhood wish now! It seems that this is a good sign! I’ll definitely get what I want next year!” Li Xiaoqing said happily.
“Don’t worry, you can look for me in the future! If anyone dares to bully Xiao Qing, I’ll teach them a lesson!” Luo Ziyang immediately straightened his back and acted like a good brother.
!!
When Li Xiaoran saw this scene, she was immediately amused.
Luo Cheng also smiled at his family by the fireplace, then used the tongs to pick up wood and place it in the fire.
Third Master Xue, who had been forgotten in the room, was cold and hungry!
“Someone, come and save me! Give me something to eat and drink! It’s New Year’s Eve. Since you guys are feasting, you have to make me something delicious!” Third Master Xue shouted weakly.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him no matter how hard he shouted!
Not even a worm had appeared, let alone a human!
At this moment, Third Master Xue knew he had encountered a ruthless person this time! If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have made this trip!
Why did he have to come here to suffer torture instead of celebrating the holidays?!
Thinking of this, Third Master Xue started shouting again.
“I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you anything! Someone, come quickly! I’ll tell you anything. Really, come and ask me!”
On the other side, when the secret guard heard Third Master Xue’s words, he brought the message over.
Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran after receiving the secret guard’s news.
“The person over there caved in. Why don’t we go take a look?”
Li Xiaoran immediately thought of the person she had forgotten.
“It just so happens that the sweet potatoes in this fire are almost roasted. Let’s bring one over to him! I don’t want to go now. It will affect my mood too much. Let’s leave him there for another two days! We have to enjoy the holidays!”
“Alright, I’ll get someone to send him some food, water, and the blanket I used in the snow last time.” Luo Cheng nodded and had an idea.
“Yes, as long as he doesn’t starve to death and freeze to death!” Li Xiaoran nodded and said, “Let him sow discord. We have to make him suffer a little! By the way, don’t give him too much. Just give him enough for him not to starve to death!”
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
His wife was really a little cute!
But he liked it!
Therefore, this was the most down-and-out New Year’s Eve in Third Master Xue’s life!
If Third Master Xue knew that he had received such treatment because of his sharp tongue and attempt to sow discord, he might have regretted it!
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world!
It was useless even if he regretted it now!
Third Master Xue widened his eyes when he saw the palm-sized roasted sweet potato and a bowl of water.
“What do you mean? You’re giving me this on New Year’s Eve?” Third Master Xue looked at Luo Ziyang in disbelief.
Luo Ziyang looked at Third Master Xue and said with disdain, “How well do you expect the food to be when you came uninvited? It’s already good enough that I’m giving it to you! Why don’t I take all of this away and throw you out to fend for yourself?”
“No, no, no!” Third Master Xue quickly grabbed the sweet potato and ate it in big mouthfuls. “I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it, alright?”
However, after taking two bites, Third Master Xue took another sip of water and said gloomily, “Eating sweet potatoes can at least fill my stomach!”
“I’ll let you eat and drink to your heart’s content, then let you think of some ways to sow discord to harm my brother and sister-in-law? Save it! You have to be content. You’re lucky we didn’t let you starve to death!” Luo Ziyang left after saying this.
Seeing this, Third Master Xue quickly ate the sweet potato and drank some water before taking the opportunity to run.
However, as soon as he ran out of the room, he fell to the ground weakly.
Footsteps sounded. Luo Ziyang, who had left, walked over again.
“Hahahaha, I knew you would misbehave! Let me tell you, you can move around in this room freely, but once you leave this room, this will happen! This time, I’ll move you back. The next time, if you run around, no one will help you! Take my advice. There are blankets and a toilet in the room. At least they can keep you alive! If you want to run out, see if anyone will send you back.”
With that, Luo Ziyang dragged Third Master Xue in and threw him to the ground.
After a while, Third Master Xue finally felt the strength in his body return, so he sat up and thought about it.
Should he try again?
He really wanted to try!
However, when he thought of Luo Ziyang’s warning, Third Master Xue hesitated again.
If he really fell there again and no one came to bring him back, wouldn’t he have to freeze outside all night?
Forget it. Even if he wanted to try, it shouldn’t be at night. It should be during the day!
After making up his mind, Third Master Xue learned his lesson and quickly wrapped himself in two blankets. Then, he planned to use his mental prowess to offset his hunger!
Why did he feel even hungrier after eating a roasted sweet potato?
God! Even if he had committed a sin, God should be the one to punish him!
They shouldn’t punish him like this!
Third Master Xue was starving so much that he felt like he was about to hallucinate!
Now, he was willing to eat anything to fill his stomach! He was going crazy from hunger!
Soon, it was midnight.
Li Shun, Luo Cheng, and Luo Ziyang went out to take out the firecrackers that had been prepared and started lighting them.
By the fireplace in the house, Zhao Xiu brought Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing to set up a pot holder. Then, she placed an iron pot and began to boil water to cook the dumplings.
...
There was a crackling sound outside, then the people in the house smiled!
The new year was new. Their lives would get better and better in the future!
After the firecrackers stopped, the dumplings were ready.
At this moment, everyone had taken their bowls and chopsticks and were sitting around the pot, waiting for the dumplings to cook.
Finally, the pot of dumplings was ready. Zhao Xiu used a bamboo ladle to scoop all the dumplings.
After they each had a large bowl, everyone started eating.
“I tasted dates!” Li Xiaoqing bit into a dumpling and shouted happily.
