Chapter 426: The Miserable "Rations" on the Road to Escape
Madam Sun Er also chimed in:
"You are so greedy that you want to swallow an elephant. Not only do you beg during the day, you steal at night. Is there anyone worse than you in this world?"
When Ma Pandi heard this, she immediately quit.
"We are bad, we are evil, so why are you clinging to me, a child of an evil person?" She used the same trick again, jumping up and down and shouting in the direction of the Sun family:
"Er Ni'er, Er Ni'er, come out quickly and go home with your mother~"
Sun Bailu had been hiding in the darkness. Hearing this, he subconsciously stepped back, only to be spotted by Ma Pandi.
"You silly child, why are you still staying in the Sun family? Don't you see what they did to your father?"
"If you still have a little bit of filial piety, then come home with your mother and take good care of your father for a few days!"
Sun Bailu was really in a dilemma at this time.
She had never expected the Chen family to act like this tonight, and for a moment she felt a little embarrassed. After all, the Chen family was her original family, and the Sun family had indeed just given her food that day.
It was a bit unreasonable to say that the Chen family came to steal tonight because they had no food. And now she also felt that the Chen family's behavior was indeed a bit excessive.
But now that the Chen family has been hurt so badly by the Sun family, she is indeed responsible.
Because those weapons were given to the Sun family by her, but she never gave the Chen family anything that could be used as a weapon - this battle was unfair.
Seeing her like this, Madam Sun's heart suddenly moved slightly, and she wiped her tears and said:
"Lulu, if you really can't bear to leave your biological parents, you can go back to the Chen family and stay for a few days."
Her words surprised everyone present.
Especially the Sun family, their first reaction was that Madam Sun was crazy, or had been angered by the Chen family and became stupid.
She knew Sun Bailu's magical qualities better than anyone else, and she absolutely could not give them up to the Chen family. Otherwise, why did the Sun family give in to the Chen family time and time again?
Isn’t it just that you don’t want Sun Bailu to return to the Chen family?
Why did Madam Sun suddenly change her tune? Only Sun Zhengzhi, Madam Sun, and the old concubine were so experienced and shrewd that they reacted first.
I think Madam Sun's move is brilliant! Why didn't they think of it before?
In the past, it made sense for the Sun family to keep Sun Bailu. But now that Sun Bailu's cave was being upgraded, they couldn't produce any good things.
If she stayed in the Sun family, she would consume the most and best food, and they would have to serve her carefully every day.
He also had to deal with the occasional extortion from the Chen family.
If Sun Bailu was allowed to return to the Chen family at this time, she would not be able to prove her identity as a fairy. Given the Chen family's behavior, it is impossible for them to treat her the same way as the Sun family.
After this incident, Sun Bailu would definitely give up on the Chen family. And the Sun family could save some food, so why not?
Thinking of this, Madam Sun also sighed hypocritically:
"Alas. Lulu, please don't be so embarrassed. I didn't want you to return to the Chen family before because I was worried that the Chen family wouldn't be able to take good care of you. Now that you see it has come to this point over such a small matter, with both sides suffering, I am heartbroken."
"Never mind, the Sun family has always been a family of good deeds, and they value filial piety the most. Since the Chen family needs you now, if you want to go back and look after them for a few days, go ahead."
"This……"
Sun Bailu subconsciously looked towards Madam Sun and called out expectantly, "Mom~"
She hoped that Madam Sun would change her mind and let her stay in the Sun family because she couldn't bear to leave her. But Madam Sun said:
"My dear child, although I can't bear to part with you, I can't stop you from fulfilling your filial duties, and I can't bear to see you always being caught in the middle."
"In that case, you should go if you want to. If you really don't get used to living there, or if you miss your mother, then come back... Don't forget that your last name is Sun now, and the Sun family's door will always be open to you."
I have to say that the Sun family's move really made it impossible for Sun Bailu to do anything about it.
She thought to herself: What's wrong with the Sun family? Shouldn't they try their best to keep her? Could it be that what happened today really hurt the Sun family?
Although she had chosen to stay in the Sun family in the past and felt somewhat indebted to the Chen family and wanted to make up for it as much as possible, she had never really thought about returning to the Chen family to live.
But now both sides want her to go back to the Chen family. She can't be ungrateful and offend both sides, right?
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said: "I'll stay at the Chen family for a few days." After all, the Chen family is the blood relative of this body, not a dangerous place.
Can you eat yourself?
She decided to stay there for a few days, just to repay the kindness of her original body in providing her with this body.
Just like that, Sun Bailu actually supported Chen Laosan, whose leg was injured, and followed the Chen family back to where the Chen family lived.
But as soon as he saw the place where the Chen family rested, Sun Bailu was dumbfounded.
It is said to be a place to rest, but in fact it is just a "place".
The bare ground had only been roughly swept, with no bedding on it. Only the old woman and the old man from the Chen family had some hay under them, which was considered "special treatment."
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you clean up a clean place for your father instead of just standing here pounding a wooden stake? You're such a useless thing!"
Ma Pandi looked at Sun Bailu's silly look and scolded him in dissatisfaction.
She hadn't expected tonight's operation to fail. She didn't steal anything, but she actually brought back this money-losing item. She didn't know what the Sun family had done wrong.
He used to treasure this money-losing thing so much that he refused to return it to her no matter what, but now he just says he doesn't want it anymore.
Now that the money-losing goods have returned, they still have to eat and drink at the Chen family's expense. Ma Pandi felt distressed just thinking about it. After all, the Chen family didn't have much food left.
From now on, if the money-losing goods eat one more bite, my precious sons will have to eat one less bite. Isn’t that bad luck?
"Oh, I see, Mom."
Sun Bailu agreed but didn't move - she had never done much work since she was a child, so she didn't know how to start.
Seeing that she agreed but did not move, Ma Pandi could not help but get angry. She picked up a wooden stick and hit Sun Bailu's back and calves.
"I told you not to move, I told you to play dead~"
"You damned money-loser, you think that just because you've been a daughter in a wealthy family for a few days, I, your own mother, can't boss you around anymore, right?"
Sun Bailu was caught off guard and was hit hard several times, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts so much,"
She rubbed her hurt arm and glared at Ma Pandi in disbelief: "Mom, what did I do wrong? How could you hit me so casually?"
All I can say is that Sun Bailu has never been beaten in either world since he was a child, and he hasn't figured it out yet.
Because of lack of experience, he didn't even know how to hide his body.
Hearing that she dared to talk back, Ma Pandi became even more furious. She lashed out with her stick even harder, cursing as she beat, her hands full of strength, as if to vent all her anger at the day's setback on Sun Bailu:
"Look at you, you're so brave! You even dared to talk back after your own mother spanked you a few times. Okay, okay, today I'm going to teach you what filial piety is!"
