Shocking The World After Bringing My Family Back In Time!-Chapter 16

Eat more if it is good

Jiang Chuan, Zhou Lan, and Jiang Xia couldn’t find Jiang Gu after searching for quite a while. When they were about to go home and discuss whether to look for her outside, Jiang Gu returned by herself.

Seeing Jiang Gu enter, Zhou Lan pulled her over and asked anxiously, “Xiao Gu, where did you go? Dad and mum were worried sick.”

“I, I’m fine.” Jiang Gu said, a little surprised. Jiang Gu had rarely received such concerns from his mother, causing her face to turn red.

Jiang Xia was surprised to see this. She smiled at Zhou Lan and said, “It’s good that Xiao Gu is fine. Xiao Gu, did you go out?”

“No,” Jiang Gu shook her head and continued, “After you all left, I stayed behind and eavesdropped on grandpa and grandma’s conversations.”

Eavesdrop? Jiang Xia was stunned for a second when she heard the word. She then asked in surprise, “Xiao Gu, why did you eavesdrop?”

“I … Didn’t dad say he wanted to leave this place? I just wanted to hear what methods grandpa and grandma will use to stop us.”

Jiang Xia had not noticed it before, but after hearing Jiang Gu’s words, she suddenly felt that her sister was smart; she knew how to help the family.

“Then what did you hear, Xiao Gu?”

Jiang Gu shook her head dejectedly and said, “I didn’t hear anything. Grandpa said that he wouldn’t let us go. Then, grandma kept scolding us.”

Jiang Xia gritted her teeth at the thought of the old lady’s nasty scolding. The old lady did not think before she spoke; anything could come out of her mouth.

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think they can stop us. They are just using filial piety to pressure us. We are in power now. I will ask the village chief later.”

While the three of them were talking, Zhou Lan remained silent. She only hugged Jiang Gu with one hand, her heart aching.

No wonder people always say that the children of the poor were able to take care of themselves at an early age. If they did not understand things early, they might be abandoned without even knowing.

Although Xiao Xia had been smart since she was young, she didn’t know as much as she did at Jiang Gu’s age.

“Father, I keep feeling that those two will play some tricks. We have to leave quickly!” Jiang Xia said with a serious expression.

While they were talking, the smell of rice drifted over, causing their stomachs to growl simultaneously.

“I don’t think we’ll have breakfast today,” Jiang Xia said.

Zhou Lan, who had been silent all this while, snorted. “I don’t want to eat their food. It’s so bad.”

Jiang Chuan’s heart ached when he saw his wife being so stubborn even though she was hungry.

Jiang Chuan’s family had been well-off since Jiang Xia was a kid. He had never thought that one day his family would have to starve.

“Father, can you take out the food?” Just as Jiang Chuan was thinking of a solution, Jiang Xia spoke.

Previously, Jiang Xia did not dare to tell Jiang Gu they had food. However, seeing that her sister was bright, there was no need to be so guarded toward her.

Jiang Chuan looked at his second daughter and younger daughter, thinking about the biscuits in his heart.

In the next second, two small boxes of biscuits appeared in Jiang Chuan’s hands. He then placed the biscuit in his daughter’s hand, which made her eyes widen.

Jiang Xia held her sister’s hand and said, “Xiao Gu, dad, mum, and I encountered something magical on the mountain. We found quite a lot of food, but we can’t take it all out now. We will let you have more when we finally separate from the Jiang family.”

Jiang Gu held the two boxes of beautifully packaged food in her hands, her eyes full of disbelief.

“Xiao Gu?” Jiang Xia called out again, and Jiang Gu finally returned to her senses. She gave a big smile and replied, “Okay!”

Her expression also amused Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia helped open the biscuit packaging before handing it back to Jiang Gu.

Smelling the sweet scent of the biscuit, Jiang Gu almost drooled. However, instead of having it for herself, she took a deep breath and handed the biscuit to Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan.

“Dad, mum, you guys eat first.” Jiang Gu said.

Zhou Lan’s gaze fell on the biscuits, and her eyes began to sting again. She took a deep breath, pushed the biscuit back, and said, “You and your sister eat more.”

Jiang Gu took a few more glances at her. Seeing that Zhou Lan insisted she had it for herself, she slowly retracted her hand and placed the biscuit in front of Jiang Xia, “Sister, you eat.”

Instead of refusing, Jiang Xia picked up a piece of biscuit and stuffed it into Jiang Gu’s mouth.

“Oh, sister… It’s, it’s so delicious. It’s so sweet and fragrant. It’s like it’s going to melt in my mouth.” Jiang Gu exclaimed.

After all, she was still a child; this was the first time she had eaten such delicious food. Jiang Gu couldn’t care about anything else and only focused on her mouth’s sweet taste.

“Eat more if it’s good.” Jiang Xia said with a smile.
