The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"Dad! Mom! You're back?!"

Hearing the door opening, the children in the house immediately ran towards the door shouting.

Li Chong and Sun Lai Di have three daughters in total.

Yes.

Three daughters and no sons.

It was precisely because he had no son that his wife and children were bullied so badly when Li Chong was conscripted into the army.

After he returned home disabled, everyone bullied him even more unscrupulously because they saw that he was useless.

"Mom and Dad, I went out today to pick some wild vegetables and bring them back to share with Mi Yi... They smell so good!"

The oldest child ran the fastest. He originally wanted to tell his parents that they had gone out to pick wild vegetables and made wild vegetable porridge.

But when she got closer to her parents, she was mesmerized by the fragrance and forgot what she wanted to say.

The house Li Chong bought in the county town was very small and did not have its own yard, so there was no land for them to grow vegetables.

Although they planted a few vegetables on the small piece of land in front of the door, that amount of vegetables was not enough for their daily consumption.

Going out to pick is a great option for them to stay alive.

"Dad and Mom! Meat smells good!"

The two younger ones ran a little slower than their older sister, and as soon as they got close to their parents, they smelled the aroma of meat.

The two pairs of eyes widened in surprise.

Their voices were so loud that the person living next door poked his head out, sniffed, licked his lips and looked at them with a complicated look.

This is a famous slum in the county. The living conditions of the people living here are worse than those of people in ordinary villages.

At least in the village they have land to be self-sufficient and not starve to death. The people living here have nothing but shabby houses.

Li Chong immediately pushed the children into the house and closed the door.

Several children also saw the looks of their neighbors and knew they had done something wrong.

The three young girls were most familiar with those greedy eyes.

"father......"

"It's okay!" Li Chong touched his eldest daughter's head: "This is the county town. There are patrol troops here. They dare not do anything."

This is the thing that Li Chong is most satisfied with since moving to the county town.

The county magistrate attached great importance to the public security in the city. Even in their slum areas, people would come to patrol from time to time.

Although those officers and soldiers were not friendly to them, the poor people, they would still intervene if they really encountered any bullying or deception of men and women.

After Li Chong said this, the three girls felt relieved. However, they decided in their hearts that when their parents went to work, they would lock the door and stay at home.

"Come and see, what is this?"

"meat!"

“So many!”

The three children were immediately attracted by the full bowl of meat.

It’s too shocking!

They had the impression that they didn’t even see so much meat during the Chinese New Year.

"Not only that, mom has some here too." Sun Laidie put her bowl on the table.

Two bowls full of meat.

The three children thought they were hallucinating.

"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and bring the dishes and chopsticks over." Sun Laidie urged.

At home, Sun Lai Di is not the timid person she behaves outside, but a gentle and ordinary woman.

The three children ran over excitedly and got the bowls and chopsticks.

Sun Lai Di divided one bowl of rice into three portions and gave them to the children. She and Li Chong shared the remaining portion.

She and Li Chong had to go to work in the afternoon, and she didn't know whether the afternoon work would require a lot of physical labor. So she had to eat what she was supposed to eat, otherwise she would have shared both bowls with the children.

The three children looked at the food in their bowls and realized that it was not all meat. There was rice and vegetables at the bottom.

It was a little different than expected, but they were happy nonetheless.

They haven't had dry rice for a long time.

"Dad and Mom, I also cooked some wild vegetable porridge. I'll give you the rice and I'll just drink the porridge."

The eldest daughter tried hard to take her eyes away from her bowl and spoke to her parents.

She had nothing to do at home, so she didn't need to eat such good food. She could just drink some wild vegetable porridge to get through it.

She is the eldest sister, more sensible and mature than her two younger sisters.

After hearing what she said, her two younger sisters also put down their chopsticks and pushed their bowls in front of their parents.

"What are you talking about!" Li Chong knocked on her head and said, "Dad and mom are here, we won't starve, we don't need you to give in."

"Eat! Eat!" Sun Lai Di also advised: "The Dong family is good, there is food to eat every day, and your parents will bring you more tomorrow."

"real!"

The three little girls looked at their parents in surprise. They thought such a good thing would only happen today, but who knew it would happen every day.

The couple nodded affirmatively, and only then did the three children pick up their chopsticks.

The best thing they had ever eaten was the boiled pork during Chinese New Year.

They used to think that it was the most delicious thing in the world, but the best meat they thought was not comparable to the meat of today.

"Good times..."

“It would be nice if I could eat it every day!”

Li Chong and Sun Laidie were in a good mood as they watched the children wolfing down the food.

As long as they keep this job, their lives will get better and better.

"Mom and Dad have to go back to work and won't be back until very late. Lock the door at home and don't go out. Heat up the wild vegetable porridge later and have it for dinner..."

It was the first time for the couple to leave their child at home, and they were still quite worried. Even though they had already reminded the child once in the morning, they couldn't help but remind him again now.

The three girls are sensible and obedient. They know that their parents have to go out to make money, and they don’t need to be reminded too much and will not go out to cause trouble.

After the couple finished their explanation, they returned to the Lin family.

"Brother Chong, why are there so many people guarding the door?" Sun Laidie shrank towards her husband in fear.

Li Chong didn't know why those people were guarding the Dong family's house. He was afraid that something might happen, so he held his wife's hand with one hand and used a crutch with the other hand to quicken his pace and walked towards Lin Zhi's house.

Those people were chatting with the people around them, and didn't pay much attention to the couple until they knocked on Lin Zhi's door and finally entered the Lin family.

“How can they get in?”

The people outside pointed at the couple angrily.

They also wanted to go in, but they were not allowed.

If everyone can't get in, they have nothing to say.

But not long ago a young man knocked on the door and was let in.

The family explained that the young man was from another employer and came to check on the work.

Now these two people can't be here to check the work, right? !

Who would hire a cripple as a worker?

"She's picking on customers! She's picking on customers!" Someone was indignant: "We should boycott this kind of store that treats customers unfairly!"

Everyone present turned their heads and looked at him while speaking.

"As long as we all boycott her, she'll know she's wrong!"
