Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

"...Then let's have two." Lu Li moved his lips and said.

Lu Yang quickly took the black flour cake from the woman's hand and took a big bite.

He worked so hard every day but couldn't even earn a penny. He didn't know what the point was. His stomach was almost bursting with hunger. Lu Yang complained in his heart.

Lu Li on the side looked at him hesitantly, wanting to say something.

"Brother, eat, aren't you hungry?"

Lu Li sighed and said in confusion, "Third brother, let's buy a black-faced pancake and split it in half."

Lu Yang said without hesitation: "How can half be enough? I even think one is not enough!"

He paused and looked at Lu Li in disbelief. "Brother, you don't think I'm useless, do you? Do you think I'm too reluctant to spend money because I've been eating the cakes you bought?"

Lu Li was silent for a second, then loudly retorted, "How could that be! You're my biological brother, of course I'd be willing to give you this! Have you forgotten that we need to save money to buy meat pies for Mom and my second sister? If you buy pies like this, I won't be able to save enough money. After all these days of hard work, I only have two copper coins left in my pocket!"

Lu Li was a little angry. If his third brother could buy bread with his own ability, he would not be unable to afford even a meat pie, making his mother disappointed again and again.

Lu Yang chewed the black bread in his mouth and curled his lips, "Okay, you are the eldest brother, I will listen to you."

After returning home, Lu Yi rubbed his stomach, chopped the pork bones in his hand into pieces of similar size, and started preparing carrot and pork bone soup in the kitchen.

In the main room, Lu Li was still holding the last small piece of black flour cake between his fingers, reluctant to swallow it immediately. After a while, Lu Qian came out of Guo Fuyue's room. After a few words, the triplets went into Guo Fuyue's room together and closed the door.

Lu Yi hummed a tune while blanching the pork bones. Seeing this, he poked Xiao Fan and said, "Let's see what they are planning. Don't tell me it's mushroom soup again. That stuff tastes terrible."

"Got it!"

Xiao Fan started to replay the scene in Lu Yi's mind.

"Poor children, you have suffered so much during this period."

After some greetings, Guo Fuyue took the jar and poured out the candied fruit she had made.

"Try the candied fruit my mother made. Even if it doesn't fill your stomach, it will at least give your mouth some sweetness. The hard times will pass."

Luli and Luyang's noses suddenly felt sore. They knew that this fruit must not have been bought with money!

Mother has no work to do and can't earn any money, so she can only pick fruits from the mountains. Mother's health is not good to begin with, and it's their fault that they are useless and have caused her to worry about it.

"Thank you, Mom. It's delicious!" The two children stuffed their mouths full and looked very touched.

Seeing that her eldest brother and third brother were eating happily, Lu Qian also grinned and couldn't help showing off that this was something she had picked with great difficulty in the mountains. As soon as she opened her mouth, Guo Fuyue fed her a mouthful of candied fruit.

"Don't just watch them eat, Qian'er, you should also try the candied fruit made by your mother." Guo Fuyue fed her mouthful after mouthful with a smile in her eyes.

After half of the candied fruit in the jar was consumed, Guo Fuyue slowly revealed the two bracelets on her wrists, looked at them reluctantly for a few seconds, then took them off resolutely, held them in her palms and handed them to Lu Li.

"Mom, what are you doing?!"

Lu Li was stunned and looked at the bracelet handed to him, confused.

Lu Yang beside him changed his expression slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at the bracelet without saying a word.

"These two bracelets have been passed down for several generations. Mother originally wanted to keep them and pass them down to you and Yang'er's daughter-in-law. One for each of you."

Guo Fuyue paused, "Now that your father is like this... well, that's fine."

"Li'er, you are the eldest brother. You can take these two bracelets to the pawnshop and pawn them. You can get some money. You are still young. Working at the dock is too hard. I can't bear to see you wasting your health."

Lu Li looked at the tenderness in Guo Fuyue's eyes, and felt the sourness of the preserved fruit he had just eaten suddenly rising in his stomach, and tears were about to well up in his eyes.

He pushed the bracelet back with force, "No, I can make money. This is my mother's last wish, I can't move!"

"Li'er! Take it!"

Guo Fuyue shook his head in disapproval, then changed the subject and continued:

"Even if you can endure hardship, you can't let Qian'er suffer with you. Mother's medicine has been out of stock for several days, and it's uncertain how long she can live. This is my last gift, and you won't accept it?"

“I…but…” Lu Li’s words of refusal were stuck in his throat, but he still refused to accept it.

Lu Li lowered his head and did not see the anger that flashed in Guo Fuyue's eyes. Lu Yang and Lu Qian saw it, but did not think much about it.

Lu Yang reached out to take the bracelet. "Give it to me. I'll find time to pawn the bracelet and use it to buy medicine from Tong Ren Tang. Mother's medicine should be taken once a day and can't be interrupted." After Lu Yang finished speaking, Lu Li stopped glaring at him.

"This is for buying food for the family." Guo Fuyue emphasized, then took out a hairpin and inserted it into Lu Qian's hair, "This is for our Qian'er."

"Thank you, Mom! You're so kind to us!"

The house was warm and cozy. Lu Yi, who was busy making soup in the kitchen, was amazed.

This is the art of language!

Guo Fuyue gave the triplets three pieces of jewelry, and they were very grateful. The original owner paid for their daily food and daily necessities, but was regarded as an enemy by the triplets.

After the three pieces of jewelry were pawned, the food standards of the triplets and Guo Fuyue suddenly returned to the level before Lu Yi came through. Although they couldn't have meat every meal, at least they could afford to eat white flour again.

Once he had some money, Lu Yang no longer looked at the black-faced flatbreads and bought meat patties every time. However, he felt that there was too little meat in the patties and they were not satisfying enough, so he set his eyes on the chickens in the chicken coop.

"Do you really want to eat chicken?" Lu Qian squatted beside the chicken coop, hiding her figure tightly in the middle of the night. Only the faint sound could be heard.

"Aren't you afraid of Daddy taking action?"

This was Lu Li's voice. He was craving the chicken, but at the same time he was afraid of the stick in Lu Yi's hand.

Although I only received that one severe beating, the impression it left was very deep.

There were no marks on his body, but the pain made him toss and turn every night, waking up and falling asleep again. He still shudders when he thinks about it now!

Lu Yang listened to the two frustrated voices beside him, and a feeling of anger rose in his heart. He lowered his voice and said:

"It was pitch black, and the chickens disappeared from the henhouse. Can he pinch or count? How did he know it was us?! If you're scared, go back to sleep. I'll eat the chicken alone!"

"Gulu! Guru!"

Two sounds of swallowing saliva were heard. Lu Yang waited patiently, a smug smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He reached out and tightly grasped a chicken by the throat, urging them: "Catch one each, and we'll have enough to eat!"

Two clucking sounds were heard in the yard, and the baby was soon strangled to death in the cradle.

Lu Yi calmly turned over and hopped over to her pillow, describing the scene vividly: "Host, both chickens were caught. Lu Yang caught a red and gray mixed-feathered one, and Lu Li and Lu Qian caught a yellow and black mixed-feathered one. It's the one that lays eggs best."

Lu Yi closed his eyes and thought, he was quite good at choosing. He picked the egg-laying champion from the chicken coop.
