Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 63 - : biscuit

Chapter 63: biscuit

“But didn’t you lend from my house the day before yesterday?” Wang Huifang’s lips quivered as she spoke with difficulty.

Before she could finish, Gu Honghua interrupted her.

Slapping her thigh with force, Gu Honghua exclaimed, “Lend? That was clearly out of pity for my family! I’ve already fed it all to Da Bao! Now there’s nothing left! If you don’t believe me, search!”

Despite her words, Gu Honghua’s eyes were fixed firmly on Wang Huifang, ready to stop her if she dared to propose a search.

Her home still had a lot of food stored, all of which she had gathered through hard work.

Gu Honghua dared to speak like this because she knew Wang Huifang well. Wang Huifang would never actually search through her things.

...

Wang Huifang was soft-hearted and kind.

At this time, calling someone kind is not a compliment.

Gu Honghua would just need to act a bit pitiful, and even if Wang Huifang didn’t have food herself, she would scrape something together to give her.

Such a fool, so easily deceived.

If it hadn’t been for having a daughter who was a Superpower User, she would have starved to death by now.

Every time Gu Honghua saw Liu Wutong bring food home, her eyes turned red with jealousy. Why couldn’t she have such a good daughter? Why didn’t Da Bao have a good sister?

If Da Bao had such a sister, why would he ever need to go hungry?

Previously, Gu Honghua had even considered pairing Liu Wutong with her son Da Bao.

Though Liu Wutong wasn’t much to look at, and didn’t seem like she could bear children, nor did she appear gentle or likely to be a virtuous wife.

But she was a Superpower User, always able to bring some food home.

If Da Bao married her, he could comfortably lounge at home every day.

However, she would need to be vigilant that after the wedding, Liu Wutong wouldn’t take the food home to her own family.

A married woman should take care of her husband properly, not support her birth family.

Gu Honghua felt that Liu Wutong marrying her son Da Bao would have been Liu Wutong’s good fortune from a past life.

But before she could even finish speaking, that damned girl had chased her out and threatened her with her superpower.

Gu Honghua could only walk away feeling sullen.

As she left, she didn’t forget to spit on the doorstep of the Liu household, cursing them for daring to reject her son.

Let Liu Wutong end up alone.

Lost in her thoughts, Gu Honghua grew more and more angry, yet she was certain Wang Huifang wouldn’t search her things. Wang Huifang came today and would leave the same way she came.

Wang Huifang indeed didn’t say she wanted to search, listening to Gu Honghua’s words and seeing her “sincere” expression, she believed her.

“What am I supposed to do now? My Piaoxu just wants something to eat…” Wang Huifang’s tears streamed down uncontrollably, feeling increasingly inadequate as a mother.

Usually relying on her elder daughter to bring food home, she stayed at home taking care of her younger daughter, but now she couldn’t even take care of a single person.

She was truly useless.

“What is there to eat, huh? Look at the situation, everyone’s out of food. If Piaoxu is asking you for food, isn’t that just making it hard for you? Look at the ground, grab some mud, get a bowl of hot water, mix the mud into the hot water, and use it to fill your stomach temporarily. Then wait for your elder daughter to bring some food home.” As Gu Honghua said this, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

“Mud?” Wang Huifang shook her head incessantly at the suggestion, “Piaoxu is already sick; even if she wasn’t, people can’t eat such things.”

“Everyone who can’t bear the hunger eats like this. If she can’t eat it, it means she’s not that hungry yet.” If she’s not hungry, asking for food must be trying to drive her to death, right?

This food is the life of her and Da Bao.

With this thought, Gu Honghua’s gaze toward Wang Huifang turned somewhat hostile.

To think she always appeared kind, but deep down, she was so ruthless.

It seemed that all the kindness she showed was just a façade to deceive her, and Wutong had trusted Huifang so much.

“But…” Huifang was at a loss for words.

“Just go and try, if she can’t eat, it means she’s not hungry but pretending to deceive you,” Gu Honghua said, growing more certain as she spoke.

Indeed, with a Superpower User in Huifang’s family who always brought so much food home, how could they be starving?

“Well…” Huifang was confused by her words.

“Quickly.” Gu Honghua pushed her to go back.

After Huifang left, Gu Honghua spat on the ground.

Pah, she still wanted to ask her for food.

Good for her.

“Mom, I’m hungry, get me something to eat,” Gu Honghua’s darling son, Da Bao, stretched out a hand lazily and called out weakly.

After calling, he withdrew his hand, waiting for his mom to bring him food.

Although Da Bao knew where the food was, he didn’t want to move; he knew his mom would hand-feed him anyway.

Indeed, after hearing her son’s request, Gu Honghua frantically searched for the hidden food, carefully hid it again, and then took the food and a bowl of hot water over to Da Bao.

She couldn’t let Da Bao choke.

While Da Bao was eating, Gu Honghua held the hot water by his side, waiting. As soon as he finished, she immediately handed him the hot water.

After huffing and puffing through his food, Da Bao slurped down a bowl of hot water, then threw the bowl to Gu Honghua and curled back up to sleep.

Gu Honghua watched Da Bao with satisfaction; she thought he looked so good.

Piaoxu brightened when she saw Huifang return.

Did Mom find some food?

Seeing her daughter like this, Huifang felt very bitter, “Piaoxu, Mom…”

Huifang hadn’t finished speaking, but Piaoxu had already understood. Although disappointed, Piaoxu forced a smile to comfort Huifang.

“It’s okay, I’m not very hungry yet. Let’s wait for Sister to come back.” Sister would surely bring back something tasty, like before.

Watching her understanding daughter, Huifang’s heart soured again. She fought back tears, poured a bowl of hot water, and remembered Gu Honghua’s words. Looking at her daughter’s weak appearance, she crouched down, scraped some soil from the ground, mixed the mud into the water, stirring it into a steaming bowl of muddy water.

“Mom, what are you doing?” Piaoxu was stunned by her series of actions.

“Piaoxu, maybe you should have this to hold over until your sister comes back,” Huifang said as she brought the muddy water close to Piaoxu’s mouth.

“Mom, what are you doing? Was it Sister Gu?”

“Don’t call Sister Gu by her name directly, it’s rude.”

Just the fact that she hadn’t outright cursed at Gu Honghua, who came every day to take advantage of their house, was polite enough. Piaoxu pushed away the muddy water approaching her mouth.

She didn’t want to drink muddy water.

She wanted the milk candy her sister brought back.

Piaoxu looked at the muddy water before her, her eyes welling up. Every time her sister came back, she brought so much food, yet it was always she and her mom who went hungry, while Gu Honghua and Da Bao had full bellies.

“Mom, where are the biscuits sister brought back? She clearly gave me a pack last time, why can’t I find them?” Piaoxu couldn’t understand.

Her sister had clearly brought her a pack of biscuits, and she had only slept; why were they gone?

Mom said she had eaten them herself, but Mom wasn’t someone who would steal food.
