章 176: Tang Sanniu’s Proposal

After hearing Madam Chi's question, Chi Xinru paused and explained, "My Elder Brother told us to hide the food. He didn't explain the reason, but judging from the village chief and elders who came to see us despite the heavy rain, they might have come because of the food shortage matter."

Madam Chi fell into deep thought after hearing her daughter's words. Seeing that her mother stopped asking questions, Chi Xinru continued to stuff all their food into Duan Yixin's bamboo basket. After everything was hidden, Chi Xinru breathed a sigh of relief.

Duan Yixin noticed her stuffing everything into her bamboo basket, thought for a moment, and said, "Xinru, left some of those buns and pancakes we made before. We should leave some food outside so as not to arouse people's suspicion."
