A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 118 Eat together

With so much pork today, plus a lot of grain sent by both in-laws, Grandma Yun was so happy that she cooked a meal of pure white rice.

Fragrant white rice, eating it like this is quite a luxury in this day and age.

Grandma Yun made seven small rice balls, which were mixed with soy sauce and had some pork added.

The small rice balls, wrapped in seaweed leaves, were handed to the grandchildren.

Even Fu Mingyu has it.

"Your name is Fu Mingyu, right? Come over and have some to eat. Just don't mind the taste."

This child clearly comes from a wealthy family.

Fu Mingyu shook his head, looked at the small rice ball in his hand, and took a bite of it, just like Yun Jiao and the others.

The taste was simple, yet it gave him an indescribable feeling.

good to eat.

This is the best thing he has ever eaten.

Although he had a blank expression, Fu Mingyu ate the rice ball very seriously, bite by bite.

"Yun Xiaowu, go and call your grandpa and the others back for dinner."

Yun Xiaowu nudged Yun Xiaoliu beside him: "You go."

Yun Xiaoliu, with a rice ball stuffed in her mouth, refused: "I helped Grandma pick vegetables today, and I also swept the floor and wiped the table."

Yun Xiaowu's eyes then shifted to the other people.

Yun Xiaoqi: "I'm husking corn."

Yun Xiaoba: "I did the laundry."

"You only washed your own clothes, and they weren't even clean."

Yun Xiaoba retorted, "I washed it clean, brother, you didn't even see it clearly."

He's the cleanest kid in the family when it comes to washing clothes, besides the adults.

Shen Yunlian came out: "What are you lingering for?"

Yun Jiao finished her rice ball and said, "Fifth Brother, I'll go with you."

Only then was Yun Xiaowu willing to move his precious little feet.

Seeing Yun Jiao stand up, Fu Mingyu also stood up.

Are you coming along too?

Fu Mingyu nodded: "Together."

Okay, now there are three people.

The tabby cat followed.

When we arrived at the new house, both houses were almost finished, with only one floor left to go.

"Grandpa, Father has gone back for dinner."

Grandpa Yun and the others were pushing bricks with a wheelbarrow when they heard the shout. They straightened up and wiped the sweat from their faces with the towel draped around their necks.

"understood."

After returning home, the Yun brothers first had to deliver meals to the workers.

Where is Fourth Brother?

Yun Jiao searched around but couldn't find Yun Chenbei.

The third brother, Zhang Yunchen, said in the south, "He went to his master's place."

Yun Chenbei is now considered an apprentice of that carpenter, and Grandma Yun often cooks meals and asks him to deliver some to his master.

When Yun Linhai and the others returned, Yun Chenbei also returned.

Everyone was gathered around a table; it was crowded and a bit cramped, but also lively.

Grandma Yun gave the others a brief introduction to Fu Mingyu.

"Xiao Fu, where are you from? How did you meet Jiaojiao?"

This isn't an interrogation; it's just a normal way for people meeting for the first time to greet each other.

Fu Mingyu: "Yun Jiao is my savior."

"Ok?"

Instantly, everyone at the table looked up at him and Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao nodded obediently: "I forgot to tell you..."

She recounted the story of how she directed the orcas to rescue people that day.

After listening, the two brothers, Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe, fell silent.

"You didn't tell us when you came back that day?"

Yun Jiao: "I caught so many delicious things, have I forgotten?"

How could you forget something like that? You must have a very big heart.

After verbally reprimanding Yun Jiao, the Yun family members looked at Fu Mingyu with pity.

The poor child who fell into the hands of human traffickers must be terrified. "Does your grandfather know you're with us? He should be worried. Where are your parents?"

Fu Mingyu: "My mother died when I was born, and my father doesn't care about me."

Yun Xiaojiu: "His face looks like it's damaged. He doesn't have any expression at all. He doesn't even smile when he's scratching himself. His father even said he's a monster."

Wow... what a pitiful little thing!

Yun Xiaowu patted him on the shoulder.

From now on, I'll be your brother!

Grandma Yun put some food on his plate: "Eat more, child."

Upon closer inspection, although the child is good-looking and has fair skin, he is a bit too thin for his age and doesn't look very healthy.

What kind of father is that?

Although Fu Mingyu didn't say it, Grandma Yun guessed that he probably had a stepmother or something at home.

How pitiful.

It was the first time Fu Mingyu had eaten with so many people in such a lively atmosphere. Even though he had only known the Yun family for less than a day, he felt like he belonged there.

It's not like home.

Even though he had lived with his father, stepmother, and half-brother for several years, he was always the superfluous outsider at mealtimes.

Blood ties don't seem to be that important.

After finishing their meal, Yun Jiao, Yun Xiaowu, and the others took Fu Mingyu outside for a stroll to digest their food.

"Come on, bro, let's play marbles. Jiaojiao bought these for us."

Yun Jiao slapped her forehead.

"We forgot to divide the money."

She ran home again to get the money back from her mother.

"Grandma gives you money, and Grandpa gets some too."

Grandma Yun and the others stared at Yun Jiao in shock.

"What's going on? Why are you giving us money?"

Yun Jiao then gave ten yuan to her uncle and aunt.

Shen Yunlian said with a smile, "This is the money Jiaojiao earned from selling the wild boar, one hundred and twenty yuan. When she was at her grandmother's house, everyone received a share, ten yuan for adults and one yuan for children."

"Oh dear, silly girl, how much money will you have left after dividing it up like this?"

Yun Jiao continued to distribute money to her brothers.

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao can still make money. I can catch lots and lots of valuable big fish."

"That's not how you spend money. That's too extravagant."

But I didn't refuse.

She gave the money to Jiaojiao to keep, because it wasn't safe for a child to have so much money.

After her family had divided the money among themselves, she was left with only nine yuan.

I glanced at Fu Mingyu, that poor, unlucky little thing.

"Here'll give you a dollar too."

She stared at Fu Mingyu.

Fu Mingyu took it: "I'll ask Grandpa to buy you some canned food."

Yun Jiao was satisfied now. Hehe, canned food is more expensive, so giving away a dollar wasn't a loss.

"Then remember, if you dare to lie to me, I'll beat you up."

She feigned a fierce expression and threatened in a low voice: "The last human trafficker who cheated me ended up in the police station and was beaten badly."

But actually, her face is so beautiful that she looks cute no matter what expression she makes, and she's not fierce at all.

"You also encountered human traffickers?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "Yes, they should be in cahoots with the ones who arrested you, but I'm smart. My brothers and I beat the traffickers until they screamed, and we even tricked them out of a lot of chocolate."

She proudly raised her chin.

"Be smarter next time, and don't get caught again."

Yun Jiao pinched his thin arm.

"You're too thin, you'll be easily bullied."

Fu Mingyu: "I will start exercising in the future."

He didn't lie.

I will most likely live with my grandfather from now on. He is a soldier and lives in the military region, so he is stricter with me and I will definitely need to exercise a lot.

Fu Mingyu and Yun Xiaowu played marbles for a while, and at first they didn't know how to play at all, but later they were almost always right.

Yun Xiaowu was shocked: "How did you do that?!"
