Chapter 19
Give Me Two Buns
“Xiao Han, if you’re tired, I’ll carry two. Yu Su, if you can’t carry any longer, tell me. I’ll help you carry them for a while.”
Ding Chen reminded the two of them before they left. In this four-person team, he was actually the oldest, but for the past two days, the younger ones had been taking care of him. He felt that it was quite unbalanced.
Yu Su knew that he was being kind, so she smiled sweetly at him and nodded.
Thus, the three of them transported the water source back and forth.
Unknowingly, the four of them slowly formed a tacit understanding and their movements became faster and faster. Soon, their empty water tank was filled with water.
The four of them did not mind whether it was clean. They sat on the ground with tired and happy smiles on their faces.
Yu Su also noticed that Xiao Han inadvertently rubbed his right hand as a pained expression flashed across his face.
Compared to them, Yu Ruo’s group’s progress was more than a little slower.
Although everyone was very anxious about work and were also borrowing water from the villagers’ houses, they didn’t manage to learn it after trying it a few times. Every time they filled a bucket of water, they couldn’t produce any new water.
In the four of them, the two girls couldn’t carry a bucket full of water. They could only let Ye Chang and Yu Ruo carry it back slowly. Fortunately, the villagers’ houses were closer to theirs, so they were still full of confidence in the beginning.
However, when they had just filled half a vat of water and saw that Yu Su and the others were already sitting on the ground resting, the confidence in their hearts disappeared.
Without motivation, the work became more and more tiring and increasingly slower.
When they returned again, Yu Su and the others were already sitting around the dining table and eating breakfast.
Steamed buns, soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding. There were all kinds, and the fragrance was tempting.
In order to rush over early in the morning, Yu Ruo did not have time to eat breakfast at all. At this moment, when he smelled the smell, his stomach could not help but growl.
He thought of his precious sister, Yu Miao, who had not eaten anything since last night. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke to Yu Su.
“Yu Su, you have a lot of food. Give me two buns and leave a bowl of tofu pudding for Yu Miao.”
Yu Su shifted her gaze away from the food and looked at Yu Ruo as if she was looking at a fool. “Who are you? Why should I give you my food?”
If Yu Ruo had asked nicely, she, Yu Su, would not have given him a bite to eat. In the end, he still ordered her so confidently. He was really bullying her to feel superior.
Actually, Yu Ruo also knew that he should speak nicely, but when facing Yu Su, he subconsciously used such a commanding tone. Yu Su belonged to the Yu family, so why should he be humble to her?
At this moment, when he heard Yu Su’s words, his eyes narrowed with a warning look in them. Yu Su did not avoid his gaze at all. She picked up the bun and took a big bite.
“If you have the time to beg here, why don’t you hurry up and fetch water and fill your water vats? It’s not like the production team didn’t leave food for you.” Xiao Han’s cold voice sounded.
“The director said that today’s mission has to be completed today. We’re going to start the next task after lunch. Are you guys not going to eat lunch?”
Xiao Han could clearly sense that there was something wrong between Yu Su, Yu Ruo, and Yu Miao. Their relationship was definitely not as simple as people meeting for the first time and filming a variety show together.
If it were anyone else, he might not have bothered to interfere, but he quite admired Yu Su. Moreover, he really did not like Yu Ruo. He acted like such a great human every day but had a lot of trash behind his back.
“You, Xiao Han, let me tell you, you don’t have to worry about me. Others might be afraid of you, but I’m not. You’re just relying on…”
Yu Ruo was furious. He no longer cared if they were filming or not. Just as he was about to curse, Ye Chang stopped him.
He dragged Yu Ruo towards the door with all his might. He only let go of Yu Ruo’s hand when they were out of the door. His voice was filled with anger. “Can you calm down! Yu Hong didn’t ask you to come here to say nonsense. He didn’t want you to offend Xiao Han, offend the Xiao family, and ruin the relationships with others. Even if you don’t consider yourself, you have to consider Yu Miao.”
Yu Ruo knew that Ye Chang was right, but he just couldn’t not be angry. What right did Yu Su have?
This woman really did not care about kinship at all.
Her biological brother was starving and working so hard to fetch water, but she actually swaggered to the side and ate. She was not even willing to give him a bun or a mouthful of soy milk. Such a sister was really too selfish.
His darling Miaomiao was still the best. She had been so obedient and sensible since she was young.
