Chapter 242: Give Me Back My Rice! (2)
Qi Hao was about to chase Lu Chengfu, but Yu Jinzhou seized the knife when Qi Hao wasn’t paying attention and said, “If you want to discuss something, discuss it. Don’t bring out a knife! Is rice more important or human life more important?”
Qi Hao and Lu Chengfu shared the same thought: Of course, the rice was more important!
Because of Yu Jinzhou’s words, Qi Hao finally calmed down a lot, and the two also sat down to discuss it.
Although they sat facing each other, their eyes were all red as they argued.
Qi Hao was even more enraged at the thought that this d.a.m.n brat in front of him actually refused to give him back the rice. The murderous intent on his face didn’t diminish and continued to increase, but Lu Chengfu didn’t back down either.
Qi Hao even recalled how the talisman which he had casually given to this guy at the burial mound was the most life-saving one. Now, this rice was even more precious than those talismans.
Not only was Qi Hao filled with regret, he was so angry that he spat out three liters of blood.
Last night, he felt that this guy was so good to him, but now, he despised him.
How unlucky was he? And how lucky was this kid, Lu Chengfu? He was always the one to pick up Qi Hao’s sc.r.a.ps.
Qi Hao gritted his teeth in hatred!
Lu Chengfu ignored Haozi’s murderous intent and took the initiative to speak. “I didn’t mean to lie to you. Before I read the report from Jinzhou, I really didn’t know how rare this rice is. I just felt that it was especially delicious and fragrant, so I wanted you to have a taste!”
He thought to himself that if he had known the rice’s true capability, he definitely wouldn’t have divulged the information. Who cared about being honest? Who asked this rice to be so d.a.m.n rare? Just thinking about how he would have to share half of it later made him vomit blood in pain.
“Give me back my rice!” Qi Hao gritted his teeth!
“I’ll give you half; we’ll split it equally!” This time, without waiting for Qi Hao to refuse, Lu Chengfu hurriedly said, “You said I lied to you. You weren’t being sincere either, Haozi. Back then, I thought you especially gave me something good; who knew that you didn’t want it, and got rid of it by casually giving it to me? Now that you know it’s good stuff, you want it? No way. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even get a grain of rice, let alone half of it!”
In the end, after endless bickering and with Yu Jinzhou’s help, they finally decided to split it equally.
But even though it was divided equally, Lu Chengfu and Qi Hao both had indignant expressions and now looked at each other with dislike.
Lu Chengfu took Qi Hao to his small storeroom. Seeing the bag of rice being divided into half, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
Seeing the rice grains that were as clear as white pearls being put into another bag, it was like a knife stabbing his heart.
Lu Chengfu gritted his teeth and said, “You better be careful; don’t you dare waste a grain of rice!”
Qi Hao didn’t have it easy either. He originally had a full bag of rice, but he just had to court death. Now, looking at the other half of the bag of rice that didn’t belong to him, his eyes were filled with envy and he vomited blood in his heart.
The two of them even argued for a long time over whether the equal division of rice was fair or not.
“My bag is smaller! It’s not half!”
“Haozi, enough! If you still think it’s too little, I’ll go get a knife from the kitchen right now! Let’s see if you can leave my house!” Lu Chengfu wiped his face and raged.
Yu Jinzhou looked at the two arguing with flushed faces and murderous intent as they itched to pick up a knife, and he hurried to mediate. Of course, it wasn’t like he didn’t sympathize with Lu Chengfu at this moment. However, even though he and Chengfu were only one step away from being in a relations.h.i.+p, he knew very well that this rice had nothing to do with him, and he had no right to comment.
