Chapter 330 - Chapter 330 Chapter 330 Food

Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Food Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Food The food distribution ceremony had come to an end as the last two buckets of food were given away.

Those who came with buckets and bowls to collect food were very pleased with their bounty, all smiles with barely a glimpse of their eyes, brimming with joy.

Others gained nothing, watching enviously as their neighbors returned home full-handed, lamenting, “If only I had known, I should have brought a wooden bowl too. I missed such a good opportunity for nothing.”

A group of Little Kids, the more vulnerable among them, didn’t manage to snatch anything and stood aside, looking pitifully at the adults eating spiritedly. In the past, when someone in the village was building a house, the adults seldom got involved, and the kids had a chance to pick up what was leftover. But this time, with so many adults participating, they didn’t stand a chance.

“Hey! Xiao Gougou, hurry over here,” Chuner called out from the doorway of the new house, shouting to that group of Little Kids.

“Chuner, we didn’t manage to grab any treats,” replied Xiao Gougou, his voice filled with disappointment.

“Don’t worry, hurry over here. Sister has saved lots of good stuff for you to eat!” Chuner beckoned vigorously, her face radiating happiness. Her sister was always looking out for the kids, which made Chuner increasingly popular among the village children.

As soon as Chuner finished speaking, everyone saw Xuexue bring out half a bucket of food from inside the house.

“All the Little Kids can come and line up. Sister is going to share some treats with you,” Xuexue said with a smile, looking at the children.

At her words, the children’s eyes lit up and they hurried over, standing in front of Xuexue to form a long line, waiting for their share of food.

This was something Xuexue had purposely set aside for the village children. She knew they had been waiting there since early morning, hoping to snatch a steamed bun or a meat-filled bun. Xuexue couldn’t bear to see them disappointed, so she had Big Bull keep some food aside specifically to distribute to them.

The children who received steamed buns, meat buns, and candies happily scattered.

Xuexue was busy handing out candies and buns to the children without even looking up, distributing them as she went along…

Suddenly, as she passed a meat bun to someone without much attention, she lifted her head and saw a pair of large hands taking it, which surprised her. Looking up, she realized it was Lady Li.

Xuexue quickly withdrew her hand, taking the meat bun back from Lady Li’s grasp, her expression turning stern as she said coldly, “Now Auntie, are you a child? I’m distributing food to the children. What business do you have here?”

“Can’t I take one for my Xiao Hua?” Lady Li replied defiantly, unwilling to back down.

Seeing the valuable items being thrown from Madam Xie’s house, it was too tempting. Having missed her chance earlier, and seeing the children easily receiving white steamed buns, meat buns, and precious candies from Xuexue, who continued handing them out without a second glance, Lady Li couldn’t help herself. She approached quietly, intending to take advantage of the situation, but Xuexue caught her in the act.

Xue Ren gave a chilly laugh, “Your Xiao Hua went to her grandmother’s house, and it’s been half a year since she came back, hasn’t it?”

“Even if she hasn’t returned, she’s still a child. Don’t other children get something? Should my Xiao Hua be the only one to go without?” Lady Li argued, eyeing the white steamed bun and swallowing hard.

“Auntie Li, let’s be clear, I’m not running a Charity Hall or a government office. I’m under no obligation to give anything specifically to your Xiao Hua. I’ll share with whomever I please. Please step aside. There are a few more Little Kids waiting for me to share with them,” Xuexue said unapologetically, essentially showing Lady Li the door.
