They expect their own children to be raised by their own children, where's their sense of shame? Don't they care?

Upon hearing that the sixth and seventh sons were to be given away, Luo Ping was so angry that his nose almost twisted, but he couldn't argue with Luo Yu.

Knowing he couldn't win the argument with Luo Ping, he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to try again.

Mr. Luo closed his eyes.

"You must understand that your family is facing difficulties."

"I don't understand. Why should I understand?"

"Your mother and I don't earn money easily. We've spent money to support you through high school. Now that you're working, you should give back to your family, right?"

"I'm not the only one who finished high school. Which of the seven children in my family didn't finish high school? Why should I be the only one to repay them while the others just wait to be rewarded?"

“Your food, drink, and education all cost money. Our family has never had any savings all these years, and it’s all been spent on you.”

"Don't say that to me. Have I ever worn a new piece of clothing since I was a child? Every single one of them was given to me by my older sisters after they were worn out and they didn't want them anymore."

Yes, it's not just our family that's like this; it's the same for people all over the country. I understand that because I'm young.

Is it edible? In all these years, have I ever eaten a piece of meat? Have I ever eaten an egg?

My other siblings get to eat two eggs on their birthdays, but what about me? Every single time it's my birthday, you all forget about it.

Forget about meat and eggs, I can't even get enough to eat normally. Look how thin I am now, I'm practically unrecognizable.

Look at yourselves, aren't you all overweight and obese?

Someone like me? Going to the countryside? I'd probably die there in less than a month.

Mr. Luo fell silent again.

The fifth child is indeed the thinnest in the family.

Seeing her father completely drained of his energy by Luo Yu, Luo Li gave up and slumped to the ground, utterly despondent.

Luo's mother was also having a hard time. She knew that if she didn't get through today, or even this morning, things would change in the family, and she might end up having to do all the housework.

She can't count on her two daughters-in-law. Her third daughter got married a few days ago, her fourth daughter is about to be sent to the countryside, her fifth daughter is working and won't help when she comes home, and her sixth and seventh daughters are still too young. In the end, it's all her work.

Luo's mother looked distressed, wondering if she should talk to her two sons and ask their daughters-in-law to come home from get off work and help out.

Luo Yu didn't care what they thought. She waved her hand and said, "I've said my piece. In short, don't even think about sending your work to the countryside. You're dreaming."

"That's it, I'm full, I'm going back to my room now. You guys figure it out."

After saying that, Luo Yu hurriedly went back into the house and locked the door behind her.

Sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), he silently stared at the system screen in front of him.

"Sign in."

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Today's reward is as follows:]

1. Meat buns * 10

2. Ten yuan in cash

I glanced at the ten yuan and ten meat buns that had suddenly appeared in my system space.

I hadn't eaten enough this morning.

I was about to take out a meat bun, but then I thought about it and put it back. Instead, I took out the vegetarian bun I got last night and started eating it.

The vegetarian buns are made with shiitake mushrooms and cabbage. One bite and the aroma is irresistible, filling your mouth with the fresh fragrance of cabbage.

Extremely hungry, Luo Yu ate two in one go before rubbing his half-full stomach and sighing.

She transmigrated here last night, and before she could figure out what was going on, the system came knocking on her door.

She had tried without the cheat code, and the arrival of the system surprised her greatly. However, this system was not very reliable. Apart from the 3,000 yuan in cash and a bottle of ten small pills that the gift package gave her the confidence to survive in this strange world, she could not do anything. She could only sign in every day to get some things.

In Luo Yu's opinion, this system was the worst among the thousands of novels she had read. It wasn't intelligent, couldn't chat with her, didn't have a shop to improve her quality of life, and didn't have any good items to exchange for in various interfaces. Fortunately, the fixed daily wage of ten yuan and one set of supplies remained unchanged, which at least made her feel a little more at ease.

Yesterday she got vegetarian buns, today she got meat buns, and Luo Yu is already looking forward to what good things will come tomorrow.

Mr. and Mrs. Luo had taken an hour off, and now that time was up, they would be penalized if they didn't go. They didn't care about anything else, packed up and left.

Luo Li was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. After thinking for a moment, she got up and ran away.

After waiting for a while and hearing no more noise outside, Luo Yu opened the door and went out.

Looking at the messy dining table, Luo Yu sneered, pushed open the door to the room opposite where his parents lived, and pulled out an iron box from the wardrobe.

The metal box was unlocked. Besides the grain ration book and household registration book, there was more than 20 yuan and a savings book.

He opened his savings book and found only one hundred yuan inside, making him even poorer than her.

Without touching the money, Luo Yu took the household registration book and grain ration book and left the room.

Ignoring the dining table, Luo Yu walked to the door and pushed it open. A blast of cold air hit her, making her sneeze.

It's too cold. The original owner only had one set of cotton-padded clothes that she had worn for three years. It was even altered by Luo Li after she had worn it for three years. It was no longer warm. Once she finished dealing with her current matters, she would have to find a way to get two more sets of cotton-padded clothes to wear, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn't survive the winter.

He stomped his foot, locked the door, and glanced at the left and right sides of the yard.

The Luo family home wasn't large. Besides the kitchen in the middle of the main house, the two main houses on the left and right sides housed Luo's parents and the four Luo sisters, respectively. There were also two houses built in the courtyard, where the eldest son, Luo Zhi, and the second son, Luo Xing, and his wife lived. The third generation of the Luo family all lived with their parents.

As for the sixth son, Luo Jian, he lived with Sun Xiulian and Luo Ping. In this era of scarcity of food and clothing and tight housing, this was a common occurrence. Almost every family did this. As long as the children were not married, it was normal for them to live in the same room as their parents, since there were so few houses available.

This is considered a relatively large Luo family compound. If it were smaller, there would only be a main house and a lower house, which could also be called a gatehouse. It would be normal for a family to live in two rooms with six or seven people.

As Luo Yu stepped out of the gate, she saw rows of neat houses, which she had never seen before, and looked around curiously.

It's working hours now, and almost all the neighbors are from the mine; their children are all at school. The row of houses is empty, so quiet you can hear the howling north wind. (A row of houses is a row of about seven or eight households, neatly arranged in a line. The neighbors are called "row neighbors," and these are closer and more intimate than the neighbors in the rows in front and behind.)

As you walk to the front of the house and turn out, you'll see large clusters of single-story houses standing on both sides. After walking through about five rows of houses, there's a dry toilet in the middle. People from the ten rows of houses on both sides all use this toilet.

It took ten round trips to finally leave this area of ​​bungalows. After crossing a small railway line used for transporting coal, there was another large area of ​​bungalows ahead.

It took another ten minutes or so to finally get out of the bungalow area and onto the street. To the right was a movie theater, and across the street was a supply and marketing cooperative. The residents of the large area of ​​bungalows all bought their things from here.
