Goldfield
Chapter 22: Road Blocking

Among all the children in the village, except for the learned Qian Wen, Yu Hang admired Zhao Han the most. Zhao Han was not only a skilled fighter but also a good hunter. So, he could not refuse it anymore. He gave most of the grilled meat to his younger sister, then asked Xiaocao and Shitou, "Do you guys want to eat some more?"

Xiaocao hurriedly shook his hand, "I'm already full. Also look at Shitou's stomach. It almost looks like a bloated frog."

Little Shitou laughed foolishly as she rubbed her round stomach cooperatively.

"Very good! You guys are secretly eating meat here! I'll tell Grandma. He will definitely beat you to death!" Yu Heizi jumped out of the dry trench beside the road and threatened while staring at the roasted rabbit meat in Xiaolian's hands.

Other than Yu Hang and his siblings, Zhao Han rarely interacted with the other children in the village. However, he had heard of Heizi's 'bururk reputation. He could not help but frown and step forward to say, "The fruit that gave them the roast. Do you have a problem with that?"

The fat Yu Heizi timidly stepped back when she saw the strong and burly Zhao Han, whose head was taller than her. But, he did not plan on giving up on the opportunity to eat meat. His bead eyes quickly darted around and he shouted in a fierce-looking manner,

"I don't care! You guys eat your own meat, and completely ignore our grandparents and the rest of the members. You have no respect for older people! If I go file a complaint, you guys will definitely receive a blow. Unless.."

"Except what?" Zhao Han had known his intentions and calmly asked.

Heizi wiped his saliva with his dirty sleeves and self-righteously said, "It's very simple. If you don't want me to complain, just give me half of the meat!"

Zhao Han pursed her beautiful thin lips and sneered, "We can share some of it with you, but nothing is possible. The roast must be divided equally between the three of you. If you don't agree, then I'm the one who can eat it!"

Upon hearing Zhao Han's words, Yu Heizi abandoned her greed and quickly agreed. If he continued to bid, he would not even be able to stick to his bones.

Zhao Han took the roasted rabbit, which had already lost its two hind legs, and tore off both front legs, as well as the surrounding meat. Then, he handed it over to Yu Hang and Yu Xiaolian. After which, he gave the ribs and the back of the rabbit, whose flesh was relatively less, to Yu Heizi.

Yu Heizi really wanted to protest, but she could only give up on the idea after Zhao Han glanced at her. Although he got a smaller portion of meat, but he got a larger portion, He had not eaten meat for a long time, so he was satisfied to at least be able to gnaw on bones!

After Heizi left with the grilled meat in her arms, Yu Xiaocao took out the knee hiding behind her and gave it to Yu Hang and Xiaolian. The sisters were only half full from their meals at home. However, with roasted and kneeling rabbits they eat to the point of burping.

The filial Yu Hang said guiltily, "It's a pity that we couldn't bring him to be tasted by father and mother.."

Shitou took out a few mud-covered eggs from her pocket and grinned, "It's okay. We still have some roasted pheasant eggs. Let's give it secretly to our parents to eat at night!"

They only eat eggs, but they have to sneak around like thieves. Zhao Haan sighed inwardly as she stroked the little Shitou's head sympathetically.

Yu Xiaocao was not at home all day, so when they returned home, it was inevitable that he would have to endure a series of scolding from Madam Zhang. But Xiaocao was not one of the main workers at home. Therefore, Madam Zhang paid very little attention to her. He was already grateful that the poor man did not fall ill and wasted his money on medical expenses!

Although Xiaocao was already very full, but he could not tell her directly. He just whispered, "Aunty bungsi, it's okay! If grandma knew..."

"Fast grab. Isn't it okay as long as my mother doesn't know? Actually your grandmother only had a sharp tongue. He's not a bad guy.." Yu Caidie had a gentle temperament and spoke in a soft voice, which sounded very comforting.

Yu Xiaocao did not refuse anymore and felt gratitude in his heart. There's still plenty of time ahead, so he'll repay his kindness in the future!

"Xiaocao! What are you holding in your hand? Do you secretly hide delicious food?" Madam Li's fat body trembled as she ran out of her room. He stared at the worn bottle in Xiaocao's hand with his eyes mottled.

Yu Xiaocao simply did not have a good impression of his eldest aunt. He replied in a submerged voice, "What is this? You just have to check it out yourself! Oldest Auntie don't accuse me of stealing anymore unfairly!"

"Second brother is not like Heizi kaka, who always passes through other people's rooms every day! The jar contained small fish that Uncle Zhao's son, Brother Han, helped us catch. The second brother said he wanted to make fish soup for us to eat!"

While her brothers were troubling everyone, little Shitou had already slipped into her room safely hiding the roasted chicken eggs. When he saw the Eldest Aunt trying to snatch the jar in the hands of her second sister and slandered by calling her a thief, he could not help but defend her.

Madam Li angrily glared at little Shitou with her small eyes, which looked like a crack in her fat face. He stretched out his fleshy hand and wanted to twist his ear, "Dasarak naughty! What nonsense are you talking about? When did Brother Heizi you ever look around in someone else's room? Be careful not to cry over gossip!"

Little Shitou skillfully avoided Madam Li's evil hands and shouted, "I'm not talking nonsense! Who stole the pastry brought back by Young Uncle the last time his family visited? Brother Heizi still had the crumbs in his mouth when he was captured!"

The old lady, Madam Zhang came out of her room and shouted "What is this? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by lani people! Caidie brought the jar to my room. Your third brother presses back and says he'll be home for a few days. We don't have any good food at home, so let's make some dishes with this little fish tomorrow."

"Grandma, this fish is alive! It is better to keep it in a barrel filled with water. If the fish died, it would be difficult to nurture them in this hot weather," Yu Xiaocao handed the waitress to his youngest aunt and suggested. He doesn't want to eat stinky fish soup tomorrow.

"Mh!" Madam Zhang snorted with a horrifying exprey on her face. She watched her youngest daughter put the fish into a water barrel and counted the fish before returning to her room.

No wonder Grandma was so 'loving' and didn't scold Xiaocao for more than an hour when she learned Xaiocao went to town today. It turns out that young Uncle's family is coming home!

Xiaocao was very exhausted today. Setealh carefully hid the money made today, he was already asleep when his mother bathed him. Xiaocao was so tired that he didn't even know when he was done bathing. She was dazed as her mother carried her to bed and fell asleep immediately after being laid on the bed.

It was late the next day, but Xiaocao still snorted and refused to get up. Legs hurt! His body was severely lacking in endurance! He should not stay in the room all the time in the front mob. Shitou, who was three years younger than him, ran around the mountain and helped with homework every day, but she was still very energetic after sleeping all night.

Yu Xiaocao put on the patched outerwear and went to the yard to wash his face. However, Madame Li who was going around with a broom without actually sweeping the floor, started looking around for trouble.
