234 Starvation
Both of them froze as their eyes met.
Ding Xiang did not expect that someone would be here at night. Qiao Xuan realised that Ding Xiang was not looking scared.
This girl was indeed strong-minded.
Ding Xiang glanced at the basket in Qiao Xuan’s hands. She seemed to have smelled something. She swallowed her saliva, and her eyes started sparkling.
“Have you got any food?” Ding Xiang licked her lips and asked in a hoarse voice.
She was really famished.
She was never fed at her home, and no one gave her food after she was locked in the ancestral hall.
When she heard the sound of footsteps, she thought that it was her mother. But it was not.
She felt a bit disappointed, but not that disappointed.
Ms. Zhou was too weak to fight against her grandma, who would definitely stop Ms. Zhou from giving her any food. Ms. Zhou could do nothing but cry.
She was her mother but she could not even defend her child who was tormented by her own family. She felt let down as she thought about this.
She was so hungry that she did not even bother to ask why this woman was in front of her . All she needed was food.
Qiao Xuan smiled and let out a sigh of relief.
She had been thinking how to explain to Ding Xiang when they met, but she turned out to be so straightforward.
This was a personality she liked.
When she thought of how she fought against Fifth Grandpa Ding and the whole family and she sighed – what a special girl!
She was really different from ordinary farmers.
“Oh yes, but drink some water first, I have added some honey in it…”
Qiao Xuan nodded and went to her. She squatted and took out the food and water for Ding Xiang.
Ding Xiang took the kettle and poured the water into an empty bowl with shivering hands, then she finished it directly, letting out a sigh of relief and saying emotionally, “It is so sweet!”
She could not wait any longer and started to eat.
Qiao Xuan had expected that she would not have been given any food by the family, so she only got one bowl of rice, one dish of bamboo shoots, and several pieces of mushrooms for her to eat.
But Ding Xiang did not think too much, and she started to eat everything immediately.
When the food was done, Ding Xiang wiped her mouth and put down the chopsticks and bowls.
She almost cried.
How could she have time-traveled to this goddamn place? She could not even get to eat one bowl of rice! How happy it was to be able to finally eat!
“Oh yes.” Ding Xiang pressed down her tears and smiled. “You are the Second Miss from the Qiao Family right? Why did you give me food? Anyway, thanks!”
Qiao Xuan had already understood that she was different, so it was normal that she could guess who she was – she was different from the villagers here.
“You are right.” Qiao Xuan smiled and added. “I don’t approve of what Fifth Grandpa Ding did, so no need to thank me!”
Ding Xiang grinned. “So you felt sorry for me? Anyway, thanks!”
