Lu Yi's face was full of complexities, and he sighed slowly, "Children are hard to manage. I don't understand what they are thinking. They are very disobedient and always go against me."

"Sister Wang, we have no shortage of food at home, you can see that." Lu Yi did not hide the roast chicken in his hand at all while walking, and the food he brought back in the morning was also seen by many people.

Lu Yi continued, "I'm really sorry to trouble you. I'll go in and give you..."

"No, no, we're all neighbors, no need to be so polite. Just take the children away quickly."

It was really disturbing to watch. Lu Yi understood what Sister Wang didn't say.

After walking two steps and stopping, Lu Yi put the roast chicken back to his room and took Guo Fuyue to go to Sister Wang's house.

"Go, bring the three children out. You're causing trouble for Sister Wang for no reason. How are you supposed to take care of the children at home?"

Lu Yi didn't curse, he just calmly accused her.

Guo Fuyue was surrounded by curious villagers and looked at her. She looked unhappy and stammered, "Sir, if you don't feed the children, I, a woman, can't do anything about it."

A light flashed in Lu Yi's eyes, and sure enough, before she could speak, Sister Wang stood up indignantly.

"Madam Guo, how could you slander your husband like this? I saw it today alone. That big steamed bun in the morning weighed at least a pound of pork. And you bought a roast chicken tonight, but you didn't give it to the child. Did he eat it all by himself?"

"Yeah, why are you talking nonsense?"

There were voices of agreement everywhere. It was not because the original owner had a good reputation in the village, but because the pale foundation on her face was too convincing!

Moreover, Lu Yi often brought delicious food home before. If he ate it all by himself, how could he be so weak that he was on the verge of death?

So no matter how Guo Fuyue explained, the villagers only believed what they saw.

"What are you doing! You're bullying my mother, are you looking for death?"

The three children of the Lu family rushed out from Sister Wang's house and stood in front of Guo Fuyue in unison.

It was a very powerful speech, but to the villagers, it was just like watching a play and they couldn't help laughing.

"What's the point of bullying? I'm just telling the truth. You should be more concerned about your father and stop smearing his reputation. What good will it do you if the pillar of the family falls?"

Sister Wang covered her mouth and laughed, and did not tell them that they had taken three steamed buns from her home. She turned a blind eye and wanted Lu Yi to take them away.

Her impression of these children plummeted. She used to think they were well-behaved and sensible, but now they stole things from her.

"Thank you, Sister Wang, for speaking up for me. It's my fault for not teaching these children well. I will definitely keep an eye on them in the future."

After Lu Yi finished speaking, he took Lu Li's hand and said seriously, "What are you still making trouble for? Come home with me. Didn't the beating you got this morning hurt enough? Why are you still running out to trouble others?"

Lu Li’s eyes instantly turned red with anger!

He suddenly recalled the scene where he wanted to take the wooden stick to save Lu Yang and Lu Qian, but was grabbed by Lu Yi and beaten like a chick.

"Pah!" Lu Li slapped it with all his might, and it made a loud noise when it hit the air.

Lu Yi dodged quickly and was not hit, but from the perspective of the villagers, the sound of "bang" actually hit Lu Yi's hand.

The enthusiastic man from last night also frowned and said disapprovingly, "How dare you lay hands on your father?"

Lu Li, still immersed in his own great shame and humiliation, breathed out. Just as he was about to get angry, he looked up at the villagers' strange eyes and suddenly calmed down and whispered:

"I...I feel ashamed and don't want my uncles and aunts to know that I was beaten."

He lowered his head, looking regretful and helpless, which made the man nod in understanding. He understood, he was just a child.

"Why don't you apologize to your father right away? What kind of grudge can there be between father and son?" the man continued to talk non-stop until an older villager beside him pulled him back. "Don't bring up irrelevant issues. Lu Li is not his father's biological son."

"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. I'll take the child back. Thank you, Sister Wang." Lu Yi seized the opportunity to speak.

"What?!" The man exclaimed, then lowered his voice. He looked at the backs of Lu Yi and the others as they left, his eyes filled with the excitement of eating melons. "I didn't expect Madam Guo to be so weak..."

"No, Lu Li was adopted by them."

"Oh." The man asked curiously, "Which one is the biological child?"

"None of them are biological children. This man raised them so well and has done them very well. Yet, he is being framed like this today. What a human nature."

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head. Everyone around him who heard this fell silent, with different expressions on their faces.

Why do I suddenly feel guilty?

Oh my god, what had blinded them to the thought that the triplets were the ones being bullied? Who wouldn't spank their children? They were just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so it was understandable to lock them up outside... right?

When I got home, the dishes were still in the same condition as before I left, which was not surprising.

Lu Yi took the steamed bread and put it in the cupboard and locked it so that he could take it out and eat it tomorrow. Then he went to the kitchen and happily worked as a dishwasher.

Guo Fuyue forced herself to stay awake and comfort the three children who had their heads drooping. Her soft voice was mixed with the uncontrollable roar of her stomach.

She had only drunk one bowl of medicine that day, and it was now approaching evening.

Lu Qian asked sympathetically, "Mom, are you hungry? We brought some food back."

Guo Fuyue looked at the three yellow flour steamed buns in front of her, her voice choked with sobs. "Good boy, you know how to bring dinner for me. These are enough for tonight. It's all my fault. I don't know how I offended your father... I'll go and talk to him tomorrow, and this matter will be over. We can live a good life again."

Lu Yi was speechless listening in the kitchen. He paused Xiao Fan's report, went out and stared at them expressionlessly.

Guo Fuyue's heart didn't ache this time. She swallowed and said weakly, "Sir, have you forgotten what you promised me? You said you would treat the children well for me."

"What do you want to do now?!" Lu Li had just finished speaking when Lu Yang gave him a look.

"Dad, we are hungry." Lu Yang raised his little face and said.

"If you don't give us food, we'll have to continue eating at other people's houses tomorrow." Lu Qian raised her head fearlessly.

"I've seen beggars, but it's rare to see one who is so self-righteous. It's even rarer to see one who eats and takes things at the same time. No, it's even rarer to see one who eats and steals things at the same time." Lu Yi looked at him with disdain as he passed by lightly.

"Sir, I don't allow you to speak of children like that."

Lu Li's face flushed and he yelled, "It's all your fault! You don't give us food, you can't even support your family, you can't even support your wife and children, Lu Yi, you should be ashamed!"

"Are you my biological children?" Lu Yi said sarcastically, then dragged the three children out of the door and locked it.

When Guo Fuyue picked them up, the triplets were already three years old. It is hard to say whether a three-year-old child can remember things, but the triplets knew everything clearly. It is shameful to talk to them now. Just blow cold wind on them when they are confused.

Back in the main room, Lu Yi glanced at Guo Fuyue, and tears began to well up in Guo Fuyue's eyes, as if some skill had been triggered.
