A puzzled look appeared on Ruyue's face: "Stepmother, it's not what you said. Adults want to make money for the family and are the pillars of the family, so they must eat well. Boys are the ones who want to take over the family, so they must eat well.
If you are full, can you, like me and my sister, not starve to death?"
The witch father was shocked: Is it good if he doesn’t starve to death?
He works for people in the town and gives home one tael of silver every month, which is enough to feed his children. But his daughter actually only maintains a state of not starving to death?
Mrs. Zhang was anxious: "Mom, you said that other people's daughters are like this, but you didn't say that our family is like this too. Besides, isn't your sister the same as you, how much you eat? Sometimes, I give you more than I give you.
Your sister has more."
As she spoke, she looked into her daughter Wu Qing's bowl. Wu Qing tilted the bowl in cooperation so that everyone could see the amount of porridge in her bowl.
The witch father immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Some families in the village were too patriarchal, and for his daughter, it was really a matter of starving to death if she had a stutter.
Moreover, he did find that when Mrs. Zhang scooped porridge for Wu Yun, she did eat more porridge than for her daughter Wu Qing.
Wu Yun shook his head: "Sister, you should eat less at night."
Wu Fu immediately became angry: "Wu Yun, Wu Qing and your mother came to this house. She is my daughter. Your sister is three years older than you. She should eat more than you. Why should she eat less than you?"
?”
Ruyue looked up at her father and said word by word: "Because, mother, sister and brothers have had lunch at home. But I didn't have lunch on the mountain at noon."
She shrugged her nose: "Dad, aren't you surprised why there is such a fragrant smell of meat at home? Don't talk about it coming from next door. The next door didn't cook meat today. Moreover, this smell of meat is in our house. This is obviously coming from the future.
My mother, my sister and my brothers secretly cooked meat and ate it while I was not at home."
Ms. Zhang felt that today was really strange. Normally, she would cook meat for lunch and hardly smell it at night. But today, even after a long time, the smell of meat still lingered.
Moreover, this stepdaughter is usually very carefree and does not pay attention to these details. Why did she catch her today?
She was eager to explain and wanted to say, "We didn't eat meat for lunch today." But Ru Yue pointed at her third brother Wu Gui in advance: "Third brother, did you eat two more pieces of meat at noon than your second brother? You should be punished.
No meat is allowed this time.”
Wu Gui was only two years old. When he heard Ru Yue said that he had eaten two more pieces of meat than his elder brother at noon today and would be punished by not eating meat next time, he immediately burst into tears and said, "I didn't. It was obviously my second brother who ate more than me."
I ate two pieces of meat, and my sister also ate one more piece of meat than me."
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was immediately discouraged. She had clearly told her son not to tell anyone about eating meat, but she was tricked by Wu Yun into telling her son.
Ruyue looked at Wu Fu: "Dad, do you understand now? Normally, when I go up the mountain to cut firewood or look for wild vegetables, I always bring a sweet potato or a steamed bun to make breakfast, and then I wait for the whole day and wait until I come back in the afternoon to have dinner.
I rarely have lunch at home.
When I was in the mountains, I was so hungry that I went to drink water from the stream. The water swayed in my stomach. When I came back for dinner, every time I had half a bowl of rice porridge. How could I feel full?
, there is more bowl today, half more than usual.
I just feel strange that I am so hungry and often cannot sleep at night because of hunger. Why are Wu Qing and my brothers not hungry and sleeping so--"
