Chapter 621: We want to eat bun bun
Yu Dong did not know that the young girl she took with her was not someone who was just a ‘bit’ rich but actually had a relationship with the imperial family. In her heart, the big river village was too far away from the imperial city where the imperial family lived, after all, the big river village was just a small village at the very corner of the empire while the imperial family lived in the very heart of the Empire.In her view, the girl was only a bit richer than others and might belong to the rich family of the town who fled from the village because of the attack. When she returned to the village, she first dropped Aunt Wang off before returning to her house, unlike her who had the backing of the owner of the Yixu restaurant, the villagers who were in the town were not that lucky.
They were still trying to fight for rations while Yu Dong was already back, she asked Lang to carry the rations inside the house while she picked the unconscious girl in her arms and walked inside the house, the first person she run into after carrying the child in the house was Chen Mi who was trying to talk with a pair of very fussy children.

Yu Mai and little bun seemed to be wanting to eat the rabbit meat which was why they were begging Chen Mi to kill a rabbit that Yu Dong has caught in the mountains and make braised rabbit meat for them, especially Yu Mai who liked to gnaw on braised rabbit head along with little bun who was growing spectacularly fast because of the spiritual water that Yu Dong fed him every now and then.
Chen Mi too likes to eat braised rabbit meat along with braised rabbit head….if this was before he would have agreed with Yu Mai and little bun’s request and killed a few rabbits since they did not need to worry about the supply of rabbits given that Yu Dong has brought a pair of male and female rabbit from the mountain and they often gave birth to a huge litter.
With the help of spiritual water and the green leafy vegetables that were grown with the help of spiritual water in the well of the Yu Family’s backyard, the rabbits that were raised by Chen Mi and the others were really plump and fat, just killing three of them was enough to feed the entire family but Chen Mi who knew that the conditions of the village were going to turn dire did not want to kill three rabbits just for the sake of satisfying their tongues.
He wanted to keep the rabbits for an emergency in case they did not have many rations to last in the future. At least then they will be able to rely on the rabbits, geese and ducks that Yu Dong has brought from the mountain whenever she went hunting.
” But I want to eat it, third brother-in-law!” Yu Mai was still young, he did not understand what an epidemic was and with his special case, he was even more confused as to why he could not eat a rabbit. In the past, his third brother-in-law would cook anything that he wanted to eat, this was the first time Yu Mai was seeing his third brother-in-law refuse and could not help but frown as he looked at Chen Mi with aggrieved eyes, it was just one rabbit…he just wanted to eat a single rabbit head and nothing more.
Why couldn’t he eat it? Was he no longer the pampered Mai of the Yu family? Was he going to be sold off again? Even though Yu Mai was still young, he still remembered that when his sister was going to sell him off, she cut his food off saying that since she was going to sell him off then his meals were the problem of the buyer.
When Yu Mai thought that he was going to be sold again, he was really aggrieved and upset. He decided that he was going to ignore his sister if she sold him away!
Chen Mi understood what Yu Mai was thinking but he had no way to make the little guy understand, he heard from Yu Dong who told him that it will be hard for her to treat Yu Mai whose brain was burned because of the neglect that he received in the hands of the members of the old Yu family. Though she was trying her best, it would take her a long time to treat Yu Mai completely.
Just now he tried to explain to the two young children that he could not kill the rabbits because of the upcoming epidemic but the two kids did not even understand what the word ‘epidemic’ meant, how will they understand the consequences of the epidemic?
They only understood one thing and that was —— they were not allowed to eat rabbit meat!
Yu Mai was upset and Little bun was upset as well, the two of them looked at Chen Mi like two withered flowers but even though Chen Mi felt his heart twinge when he saw the two acting like this, he still continued to keep his stance stern and did not let their gazes melt his heart. If he was to agree with them, then the kids will surely not eat just a little, they will want some more and if he was to cook for them, then he will have to cook for everyone in the house.
It will be really extravagant in these situations! And too wasteful as well, so even though he felt really bad about refusing Yu Mai and little bun’s request he continued to say no to them. Saying no was better than watching the two kids starve later on! And there was also Fang Chi and two elderly who were more prone to getting sick, he could not let them get sick which was why they will have to cut someone’s share!
