Chapter 47: One thing on the surface and another behind the scenes
"Then why didn't we see any fish on the dinner table that night?"
Du: "..."
She collected the remaining two fish and hung them under the eaves to dry in the sun.
When he didn't hear an answer, Bai Anchen took his feet out of the water, wiped them clean with a cloth, and threw the cloth into the footbath, splashing water on Du Shi's face.
Du lowered her head and could not clearly see the expression on her face, so she whispered back.
"While making lunch, my mother asked me to pack out the fish. She said that my second brother and the others worked hard and fried one fish each. I hung the remaining two fish under the eaves to dry them."
Bai Anchen listened with gloomy eyes. In other words, he was the only one in the family who didn't get any fish.
Are the two of you having a hard time?
Today, every one in the family has to work harder than him.
The whole family pointed at him to eat alone, and he almost risked his life just to earn that little money today.
When checking out, he didn't even touch a coin, so he was picked up by the fourth child and bought brown rice.
That's his hard-earned money.
It's really funny that he has delicious food but no one thinks of him.
Bai Anchen turned over and fell on the bed, moving his sore limbs. He had to plan for himself. He couldn't spend his whole life in a family of vampires.
After doing hard labor, Bai Anchen was dissatisfied, but he didn't vent a few words. He stayed on the bed for a while and fell asleep.
Du took the footwashing water out and poured it out. As soon as she reached the door, she heard snoring in the house. She pursed her lips, washed herself, and then went to bed.
the next day.
When the sky was just getting dark, Baiyunxi heard the movement outside.
Not to mention, although Du has some personality problems, he is indeed very diligent.
In these miserable days, she didn't have the right to sleep in. She signed in to the system first, then got out of bed, got dressed, and went out to wash up.
Seeing the fire burning in Du's stove, he took a broom and swept the yard.
Glancing at the shack where they lived, Bai Anchen's naughty boy probably hadn't gotten up yet.
"Du Shi, fry the leftover fish from yesterday and give it to the boss and the fourth. We ate it yesterday and let them have a taste."
"Hey~, I understand, mother."
Mrs. Du was stunned. The officials were angry because of this last night. If they knew that mother wanted to leave it for them to eat in the morning, she didn't know what they would think.
During breakfast, when Bai Anchen looked at a fish placed in front of him, he was indeed stunned for a moment.
He looked at Du Shi with reproach in his eyes.
"My lord, in the morning, my mother specifically told me to fry the fish for you and my fourth brother. We had already eaten it and this was reserved for you."
"Thank you, mother, for always thinking of your son. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I eat or not. I am the eldest son, so I should take more care of my younger brothers."
'He is the eldest son of the family and the backbone of the family. He should have the best food. Only when he is well can the whole family enjoy the blessings.'
Bai Yunxi glanced at him and spoke calmly.
"It's just enough for one person. Of course, everyone has to share it, and the family can live in harmony for a long time...Besides, you have to work after breakfast. If you have fish and meat, your strength will be better."
Bai Anyi grinned as he listened to his mother's words.
"Mom, you are right. It is not a heavy job for my son to be taken care of by my eldest brother. I will give half of my fish to my eldest brother."
With that said, Bai Anyi really broke it open in the middle, put half of the fish in it and put it in Bai Anchen's bowl.
'Tsk~, he finally understands that I definitely did it on purpose. If he didn't add some trouble, how could he be worthy of the glare he had received?'
