Childbirth System: Become the Goddess of Mercy who grants children to the male protagonist!

Faced with the oppressive atmosphere in the room and the male protagonist's slightly scrutinizing gaze,

The female supporting character's mother didn't speak either, so Xu Fu could only awkwardly greet people.

"Dad, you're back?! You must be tired from working out there."

Xu Fu chuckled, "The food will be ready in a bit. I'll come and call you later!"

With another grown man in the household, the little rice I brought back probably won't be enough for them.

Xu Fu had no choice but to slip into the kitchen, taking advantage of the moment before the fifth son returned...

Xu Fu added another three catties of rice and more than half a ladle of water to the pot...

"The eagles are back, hurry up and release the rabbits—" Xu Fu found it increasingly amusing.

They added another bundle of firewood to the stove, intensifying the fire.

Xu Fu had just finished his good deed when the fifth son returned.

When people saw Xu Fu tending the fire, they didn't say a word, but took the vegetable basket outside to wash it.

Xu Fu kindly reminded the other party, "Our father is back, cook more dishes so there won't be enough to eat."

The fifth brother gave a faint "hmm," and the four sisters who had just entered the courtyard heard Xu Fu's words and all slowed their pace.

Xu Fu: ...Something's wrong, their reaction definitely means something's wrong—

Xu Fu thought for a while, but couldn't recall any questions.

As I walked to the kitchen doorway, I saw two people already helping to wash the vegetables.

My eldest cousin went into the kitchen and took over Xu Fu's job of tending the fire.

She opened the lid and looked into the pot, seeing it full of rice. She glanced at Xu Fu with a complicated expression.

His face gave off a "good luck to you" look, and in the end, he didn't say a word.

Xu Fu was naturally happy to have some free time, and leisurely strolled back to his room.

As for the predicament he would face later, Xu Fu didn't take it to heart at all.

Half an hour later, the eldest sister appeared at the door of Xu Fu's room.

"Yaozu, dinner's ready," the eldest sister called out to someone, without leaving immediately.

He hesitated for a moment, looking at Xu Fu, before finally speaking.

"Little brother, go and call Mom and Dad to come eat—"

Hearing this person casually order him around, Xu Fu looked at him with a mocking expression.

After speaking, the older sister was too embarrassed to look at anyone and ran away without turning her head.

Xu Fu, also wanting to lure his opponent into a trap, immediately jumped out of bed and rushed to his scumbag father's room.

Xu Fu knocked heavily on the door three times and shouted something to the person inside.

"Mom and Dad, dinner is ready."

Fearing the people inside might not hear him clearly, Xu Fu shouted again.

Xu Fu only went into the kitchen after his father gave a leisurely reply.

Seeing the other five people extremely busy, as if they wanted to clean the entire kitchen,

Xu Fu coughed heavily before he began to speak.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"

"Aren't you going to hurry up and fetch water for your parents to wash their hands and eat?!"

No one paid any attention to Xu Fu; they remained busy with their own tasks.

Until two figures appeared at the kitchen doorway—

"Wash your hands and eat!" The scumbag father commanded loudly, adopting the air of the head of the household.

Xu Fu caught a glimpse of the five sisters shuddering out of the corner of his eye, and a playful look immediately crossed his mind.

Xu Fu stepped aside and escorted his scumbag father to the table. Once everyone, including the female supporting character's mother, was seated...

Xu Fu quickly found a spot—

Seeing that the table was still more than half empty, the scumbag father coughed heavily.

The sisters quickly put down what they were doing and sat down in order of age.

The rice bowl in front of the scumbag father was the fullest, but it was just taken by the female supporting character's mother.

Xu Fu's rice bowl was the second fullest, because he had chosen it himself.

The remaining portion was mostly in the mother's bowl, while the five sisters only had a shallow half-bowl...

Xu Fu: !!! When their scumbag father wasn't around, their appetites weren't this small, were they?!

Surely there wasn't this little bit in the pot he cooked?

Xu Fu's gaze drifted towards the pot, and he found that only a thin layer of crispy rice remained.

The two plates of fish on the table seemed to have been reduced by half...

He immediately realized that the five sisters had probably already packed tomorrow's lunchboxes in advance!

Judging from this situation, even without a prominent family, these girls probably won't have an easy life.

Xu Fu wasn't hungry and too lazy to expose them, so he simply kept his eyes down and pretended to be a quail.

The scumbag father and the female supporting character's mother, unaware of the inside story, nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the sumptuous dishes on the table.

The scumbag father picked up a piece of fish first, and then the female supporting character's mother picked up a piece and put it into Xu Fu's bowl.

He then picked out a small piece and put it in his mouth to chew carefully.

Seeing the adults start eating, the five sisters all reached for the only plate of stir-fried vegetables on the table.

Whether it's steamed fish or stir-fried fish pieces, they never once glanced upwards...

When the plate of vegetables was almost empty, the scumbag father coughed heavily again.

My sisters, as if receiving a command, quickly shoveled rice from their bowls.

He immediately lowered his head and got off the table.

Xu Fu: ...6! This guy acts like a local tyrant at home! Who gave him the guts?!

Xu Fu's expression was full of disdain, but neither his scumbag father nor his first wife put down their chopsticks.

Xu Fu could only patiently keep him company, eating bite by bite.

After the scumbag dad finished eating all the fish, the scumbag mom finally shoveled the side dishes into her own bowl.

Xu Fu, in a very professional manner, poured the vegetables and their juice into his own bowl.

The scumbag father put down his chopsticks but didn't leave. He picked his teeth with a bamboo skewer and sat there nonchalantly.

Knowing that the other party had something to say, the female supporting character's mother quickened her eating speed and slurped up the rice in her bowl.

Xu Fu also swallowed it in a few gulps, and stopped at the same time as the female supporting character's mother.

"Ahem!" The scumbag father cleared his throat heavily before speaking to Xu Fu.

"I have something I want to ask you—" the man said, while giving the female supporting character's mother a wink.

The female supporting character's mother knew exactly what kind of nonsense the other party was going to spout.

I cleared all the dishes from the table and closed the kitchen door behind me.

She stayed in the yard washing dishes, shooing the five sisters, who didn't want to eavesdrop, back to their rooms...

"Tell me, where did you get these things? And what about last time—"

Knowing he had spoken out of turn, the scumbag father didn't continue speaking, but instead stared at Xu Fu with scrutiny.

Xu Fu remained calm, met his gaze with composure, and gave the excuse he had already prepared.

"Last time I dug up a medicinal herb on the mountain and asked someone to take it to town to sell."

"Then I asked them to help me buy some rice and flour."

"How much did you sell it for? Why didn't you give it to me?!" The scumbag father immediately took it seriously when he heard about this good news.

Xu Fu calmly replied, "Father, didn't you go out to work and not come back?"

“I thought it wasn’t safe to carry money with me, so I asked someone to buy me some rice and meat.”

"How much is left? Hand it over right now!!" The scumbag father shamelessly stretched out his hand to Xu Fu.

It's as if they're saying, "If you don't give it to me, you'll be in for a beating."

Unfortunately, Xu Fu was stubborn and not afraid at all, saying, "We're almost out of supplies."

"I estimate they can bring me back about three kilograms of rice tomorrow."
