Chapter 289 Rebellion!
Chu Feng reacted instantly. While helping Yang's mother, he explained to the people behind her, "I'm sorry, everyone. This lady must look like my grandfather's mother. He mistook her for her and that's why he got emotional."
"My grandfather's biological mother, who is also my great-grandmother... I can't reveal her identity, but it was absolutely not meant to offend you, please forgive me."
The crowd's expressions then became understanding, but they were all too hungry to speak.
They helped Yang's mother into the courtyard, while Gu Xixi led Yang's father and sister inside. "You all wait until Auntie wakes up before you go next door to find a place to stay. The rest of you, come with me over there to get some food..."
[Congratulations on triggering this time-travel side quest! Help Old Yang reform the current Old Yang and prevent the tragedy from repeating itself. Completing this side quest will reward you with 20 super-intelligent robot bodyguards. Good luck!]
Gu Xixi: !!
It turns out the side quest was from Elder Yang's side. Luckily, Elder Yang made it in time this time travel, otherwise he would have missed the quest and wouldn't have gotten the 20 super-intelligent robot bodyguards, which would have been a real pity.
A satisfied smile appeared on her lips as she walked ahead of the disaster victims.
Upon hearing that there was food, the disaster victims immediately followed Gu Xixi.
They were initially worried that this place was a trap set by other refugees, but when they got closer and saw the supplies and the soldiers in uniform, they were relieved.
The People's Liberation Army soldiers are definitely here to save them.
Gu Xixi escorted everyone to the adjacent disaster relief dormitory building, handed them over to the staff, and then returned to the supermarket courtyard.
Yang's mother drank a glucose solution and, with the help of Shen Qingyan's acupuncture, is waking up.
Mr. Yang, his sister, and his younger brother each received a glucose drink. Mr. Yang personally heated up four bowls of millet porridge and distributed them to the four of them.
But when he finally handed it to Old Yang... his younger self, his hand gestures were clearly filled with anger.
Old Yang: ? ? ?
Has he met this old man before? Why is he so warm and welcoming to everyone in his family, but seems to have a problem with him?
But he couldn't care less; nothing was more important than the food in front of him. He blew hard on the porridge in his bowl, his eyes filled with only two words: He wanted to drink it!
Old Yang stared intently at his mother, father, and sister. Their faces overlapped with those in his memory, and he felt both happy and sad, his facial expression showing great inner turmoil...
Fortunately, everyone else was focused on the rice porridge and didn't notice.
Old Yang tried his best to calm himself down and said tenderly, "Mother, Aunt, please eat slowly. We have enough food here, you won't go hungry anymore!"
As he spoke, Old Yang's voice trembled with emotion, and he began to cry.
“Grandpa, please eat slowly. We’ve finally got a chance to survive, so it’s not worth it to hurt ourselves over this meal. And you, young lady, you look the weakest. Wait a bit longer, let it cool down before you eat. Would you like some water? I’ll go get a few bottles.”
As he was talking, Old Yang immediately went back into the supermarket to get some water.
Yang's mother, father, and sister exchanged glances. They felt that the old man was strange, yet strangely kind... Perhaps he was just soft-hearted... which was why he cried so easily.
Old Yang: ……
He seemed to be deliberately ignored... He was certain that the old man was hostile towards him, but why?
He insisted on eating rice porridge right now, even though he was starving!
Old Yang picked up the bowl and started pouring the contents into his mouth. Old Yang came out and snatched the bowl away. "You stubborn mule, I told you not to eat now. Even if you do eat, you have to chew each bite 20 times."
With a sense of disgust towards his former self, Old Yang's words were somewhat harsh.
Gu Xixi tried to smooth things over, "Haha, our grandpa has a sharp tongue, but he only says things for your own good. Grandpa, the rice porridge is almost cold, you can eat it now!"
"Eat slowly," Old Yang said, wiping away his tears and turning away.
The group drank water and tried to slow down their eating of porridge, but they couldn't slow down much and still seemed rushed.
Yang's mother and father were emaciated, resembling skeletons. Yang's older sister had sunken cheeks and a sallow complexion. Her wrists were only half the thickness of Gu Xixi's. Gu Xixi looked at her own wrists; her BMI was only 18.
But she was a little bit fleshier than Yang's parents. The most fleshy one was still young Yang. At this time, he still had the energy to keep his eyes rolling. He was thin, but not horribly thin, which was enough to prove his treatment at home.
After finishing his meal, Mr. Yang sat down to rest. Little Yang wanted to eat more, so he looked at his older sister and mother and reached out to grab her bowl.
Sister Yang habitually gave in, but Gu Xixi: !!!
What? Old Yang used to be this kind of rascal?!
She looked at Old Yang, since this was his business after all. Old Yang blushed and stepped forward to hold down Young Old Yang, saying, "Everyone has their own ration. Everyone is hungry. You took your sister's share. Will your sister starve to death? How can you be so selfish!"
How could he have been so selfish before...?
When Old Yang saw his past self, he really wanted to slap himself a few times, but he was afraid of killing himself... because it would affect his future... so he held back.
Old Yang quickly finished the porridge in Sister Yang's bowl. "You old geezer, don't think that just because you gave us food you're our family's benefactor, and everyone has to kowtow to you. What business is it of yours how we distribute it?"
“I’m the only boy in the family, so I should eat more than my sister. If I’m well, they’ll be well, and my sister will have someone to rely on in the future! My sister hasn’t said anything, so why are you telling me what to do?”
Seeing that none of his family members objected, Xiao Yang felt even more confident.
"Besides, the reason we don't have enough to eat is because you gave us too little. Why don't you give my sister another bowl? She's already eaten quite a lot; she won't starve."
Old Yang laughed, and his mother immediately protected him and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not teaching you well. I've told you so many times, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense. You and your sister are the same."
“Your uncles and aunts are all wicked. You brat, have you forgotten how your sister helped you on the way you fled the famine? How can you still be like this!” Yang’s father was also incredulous. After fleeing for so long, how come he hasn’t changed at all?
But Old Yang just kept his head down and didn't say anything; his attitude was clear: he didn't approve.
His uncles and elders are right. He is the only heir in the family, which makes him the most important person and gives him special privileges!
Rebellious, truly rebellious. Seeing Old Yang's murderous expression, Gu Xixi silently retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Old Yang stepped forward, unable to hold back any longer, and angrily retorted, "Your parents are the ones who work hard everywhere to support the family, and your sister is the one who takes care of the housework and serves the whole family. Everyone is working hard to make this family's life better and better. You are the most important person, but what have you done?"
"You're a farmer, lazy and ignorant of farming, you trust outsiders more than your family, you're both stupid and wicked. What kind of support can you offer your sister? You're already stealing her food now, how can you expect to be her support in the future? Think about it, can you really do that?"
