《Farmer's Pampered Wife: Farming Crops To Raise A Bun》Chapter 21: Let's Save Mother!
Advertisement
"Mother, look! They actually still have such a big steamed bun. Our family can hardly even eat. We don't even know where this steamed bun came from."
Luo-shi said in a weird tone, but her eyes continued to stare at the white steamed bun in front of her.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoshan immediately went forward as he glanced at the white steamed bun, then looked at Wang-shi.
"Eldest Sister-in-Law was asking you. Who gave you this steamed bun?"
Wang-shi immediately frowned with a pitiful look on her face. Her heart was also somewhat flustered.
She definitely can't tell that it was from Xiaoye. Moreover, if Xiaoye really wanted to change now, but was tossed by her mother again, Wang-shi really couldn't think of the consequences.
Having this in mind, Wang-shi's hands were entangled vigorously and she didn't know what to do.
At this time, Xiaoya took a step forward and said: "Grandma, this bun was given by Uncle Li Zheng. He said that he saw Mother was in poor health and he had food at home, so he let me bring this back to cushion Mother's stomach."
As she spoke, Xiaoya tightened her palms with a guilty conscience.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoshan nodded.
"It turned out that it was given by Uncle Li Zheng."
He believed it, but Sun-shi and Luo-shi weren't that simple.
Sun-shi immediately took another big bite of the bun. She said as she chewed: "Li Zheng? I'm afraid you're muddling me. How could Li Zheng be so kind as to give you such a big steamed bun?"
"Exactly!" Luo-shi immediately echoed, but seeing that Sun-shi was almost done eating the steamed bun, she started to worry in her heart.
But according to Sun-shi's personality, if she wants this old woman to give her a mouthful of steamed bun, it was definitely impossible.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly saw her son, Huzi, walking in the yard and she got excited.

Turning around, she called out, "Huzi, your Second Uncle has something delicious to eat. Why aren't you rushing over?"
After she finished speaking, Luo-shi immediately looked at Sun-shi.
"Mother, I think that Second Sister-in-Law secretly bought this steamed bun for herself."
At this moment, Huzi, who was shaking his chubby belly, also ran over. As soon as he entered, he stretched his neck and sniffed around.
"Mother, where's the delicious food?"
After saying that, Huzi saw the white steamed bun in Sun-shi's hands and immediately rushed over.
"Grandma, why are you not giving good food to your grandson?"
Seeing Huzi's aggrieved look, how could Sun-shi not feel anything? Immediately, she felt her heart ache.
"Here, take it."
She then gave the steamed bun in her hands to Huzi.
Only then did Huzi take a big bite with great satisfaction.
Luo-shi pinched Huzi's arm quickly and then motioned to him to keep some for her.
At this time, Sun-shi hurriedly began to teach Wang-shi and Xiaoya a lesson.
"Both of you are really good. If I hadn't found out, you would definitely hide this from me. No wonder I'm feeling that the money I spent on needlework two days ago was actually missing a few copper coins. Speak! Did you steal this Old Lady's money?"
Hearing that, Wang-shi was immediately frightened and hurriedly cried out, "No, no, Mother. How could we steal your money? And, and we don't even know where you hide your money."
Sun-shi was known for being stingy, anyone in the family who had little silver would have to hand it to her. As for where the silver goes, only she knew.
But Sun-shi didn't want to listen to Wang-shi's explanations and immediately put her hands on her hips.
"Then tell me, where did this steamed bun come from? I don't believe it was given."
Being asked by Sun-shi, Wang-shi's heart felt frustrated.
Xiaoya was also scared at this moment and shut her mouth.

How could Luo-shi not seize this opportunity to teach them a lesson?
She walked up and pulled Sun-shi's arm.
"Mother, look at how Second Sister-in-Law was keeping mum. Isn't she clearly lying to you? As your Eldest Daughter-in-Law, I just can't stand watching this. Second Brother, is this how you usually discipline your wife?"
Hearing Luo-shi's words, Lin Xiaoshan immediately felt that he had lost all face and could only stand to the side and sigh.
Sun-shi's pupils immediately contract.
"You bitch, you actually dared to lie to me? I think you're really itchy to get beaten again, right? Just see how this Old Lady will take care of you!"
With that said, Sun-shi raised her leg and kicked Wang-shi's stomach. Wang-shi immediately fell to the ground, her body was weak to begin with, so she immediately fainted from the pain.
Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat. She quickly ran up and started to scream and shake her mother up, but it was still useless. She was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"Father, Mother fainted. Hurry and call a doctor! Please go and call a doctor!"
Luo-shi laughed: "Oh, little ancestor, we don't even have anything to eat, how can we possibly have the money to treat your cheap bitch of a mother ? Could it be that you plan to sell yourself for your mother's treatment?"
Sun-shi looked at Wang-shi with disdain: "If it can't be helped. It's fine if she dies, it will save me a lot of trouble!"
With that, Sun-shi walked out of the house and a few people followed her. They sat in the courtyard and started eating.
As for Lin Xiaoshan, he only furrowed his brows and glanced at Wang-shi who was lying on the ground, helplessly sighed and followed his mother out.
Tears were still streaming down Xiaoya's face as she clenched her fists.
After helping Wang-shi onto the bed, she turned around and left.
Just as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, Lin Xiaoshan saw that she was not coming out to eat, but was instead running out.
Luo-shi then put another sentence: "Where else can she go? Maybe she will go to Li Zheng and ask him to find a doctor."
No one believed her words.
And in Luo-shi's heart, she really wanted this little bitch to leave, so she could eat more mouthfuls later.
As for Xiaoya, she stood there and glanced at her father. She suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and now, she could only place all her hopes on Lin Xiaoye.
At the moment, Lin Xiaoye was happily making food, thinking that Xiaoya and her mother still have to eat today, she made it richer.
"Little Mochi, get ready to eat!"
"Elder sister! Elder sister!"
Just as Lin Xiaoye shouted out, a hurried voice came from outside the courtyard.
Eh? Xiaoya is quite punctual.
Lin Xiaoye scooped up the last dish and left the kitchen.
"Xiaoya, you've come at the right time. The food is ready. You go eat first."
Just as she finished speaking, Xiaoya immediately ran in front of Lin Xiaoye and pulled her to run out in panic.
Lin Xiaoye quickly asked, "Xiaoya, what's wrong? What happened?"
Did something happen to Wang-shi?
The only person who could make Xiaoya so anxious was Wang-shi.
Xiaoya hurriedly said, "Elder Sister, quickly save Mother, save Mother!"
After saying that, Xiaoya began to cry.
Later on, when Lin Xiaoye followed Xiaoya all the way to the Lin family, she found out the truth of the matter. Immediately, her anger was ignited.
What a Luo-shi, she's simply a fighter jet of shit.
When they arrived at the Lin Family's courtyard, they saw the entire family eating at a table. One by one, they didn't seem worried at all.
It's really true that people who don't belong together, don't get to live together. This was a group of cold-blooded and ruthless people!

8 103Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
