Chapter 27: It’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away

"Stop grabbing, stop grabbing. What are you grabbing for?" Lin Siyan protected her stomach while scolding the four little guys who were pouncing on their food like hungry tigers.

The little guy didn't care about her. After two days, the only thing left on Li Yunchao's wound was the itchiness of the scab, and it didn't hurt at all. Of course, it was also because she didn't get wet in the rain during the day.

At this moment, he took a spoon and served a large bowl to each of his younger brothers and sisters, and only scooped out the empty ones.

After he did this, the porridge in the pot could be called soup.

"It's so delicious, thank you Aunt Lin!" Li Mumu said with a smile, shaking her little feet.

Lin Siyan's face turned green with anger. Who doesn't want to eat dry food? It's really unbearable to not be full every day.

But she is not completely without any skills. She taught a few children a lesson herself, and not only did she get a reputation for being vicious, she also loved to divert hatred.

"Yun Chao, everyone is hungry, but the elders should eat first." Lin Siyan looked at Mrs. Li, looking like she had no choice.

Old Madam Li took a closer look and saw that all the food had indeed gone into the stomachs of those dead brats. She immediately flew into a rage, "You little bastards, you are the reincarnations of starving ghosts. Do you have any manners? The elders are still eating, but you are eating first."

Li Mumu was not afraid either. If the old woman dared to hit her, she would run away. It would not be good to expose her ability too early, but she would eat anything and never suffer any loss.

Li Yuan also frowned, "Yun Chao, when did you become so ignorant?"

Seeing several children being scolded, Gu Yuru felt heartbroken and wanted to take them under her wing, but the children refused to follow her.

But as smart as she was, she seemed to know the purpose of the children staying.

"Daddy, don't scold my brother. Otherwise, Mumu will spit it out for you to eat." Li Mumu pretended to spit it out, which made the Li family look disgusted. "Brothers, spit it out quickly. Grandma wants to eat it."

"Shut up!"

Li Mumu understood that this time the term "scumbag dad" probably meant it literally.

The three brothers held back their laughter and admitted their mistakes one by one, but they did not plan to change next time.

The children all admitted their mistakes and behaved in a positive manner. Li Yuan had nothing to say, "Don't do this again next time."

"I understand, Dad." Li Mumu's voice was crisp and bright, and it was obvious that she had eaten a full meal.

Zhao listened to the sounds of the yamen runners drinking and playing drinking games in the tent, hoping that her daughter could bring them some food, but she knew that was impossible.

The yamen runners are not stupid either.

While eating the porridge, so much so that you could clearly count the grains, Zhao couldn't help but complain, "There's not enough to eat for everyone. If someone wants a child, just give it to them. Why do they have to share the food with us if they keep it?"

Li Sheng stole a glance at Li Yuan and said sarcastically, "Third brother didn't expect it to be like this."

Li Ye seemed to have recovered from the pain of losing his son. He stood up and said, "Third brother, I have to say something to you. Hurry up and give the child to your sister-in-law... to the Gu family. If this continues, we will starve to death."

Lin Siyan naturally hopes that all four children will follow Gu Yuru. It’s not because she is kind, but because when the child in her belly is born, it will be Li Yuan’s only child.

"Big brother, second brother, don't say that. After all, they are Brother Yuan's flesh and blood."

Li Ye snorted coldly, "Speaking of flesh and blood, aren't those in your belly also there? These are useless, and keeping them is a waste of food."

After all, babies don’t eat rice, so we can’t steal their food.

"It's just a child, just have another one." Li Ye said indifferently.

As if having children is such an easy thing.

He didn't see the resentful look Sun gave him.

Li Yuan originally kept them just to control the Gu family, but he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

When Li Yuan looked at the children, Li Yunye shook his head and said, "Dad, I am a member of the Li family in life and a ghost of the Li family in death. I will not leave."

"I won't leave either. It's so embarrassing for the Li family's child to be raised in someone else's home." Li Yunjue raised his eyebrows.

Li Mumu nodded vigorously. "My brothers won't leave, and I won't leave either. I want Daddy. Daddy loves Mumu the most."

Li Yunchao took a deep breath, otherwise he was afraid of laughing out loud, "Dad, don't chase us away."

"Then go collect some more firewood later. It's very humid tonight, and there might be wild animals here. We can't put out the fire."

Li Yunchao glanced at his brothers and sisters and said, "Okay, we'll go now."

"I'm going too!" Gu Yu jumped up and followed after hearing this, if for no other reason than that his family could have delicious food again.

The little ones walked a short distance before gathering together.

"Brother, have you seen Dad's face? He's almost green with envy." Li Yunjue said with a smile.

They have all been with their mother since they were young. Their father has not been home for many years, and when he occasionally comes back, he is very picky about them, not to mention this time when he wrongly accused his younger sister, punished his eldest brother, and angered their mother away.

The three brothers were not the kind of people who couldn't tell right from wrong, so they naturally sided with their mother.

"I think he wants to chase us away." Li Yunye said with a smile.

Li Yunchao's eyes flashed, "It's not that easy. Since he wants to keep us, let him know that it's easier to invite a god than to send him away."

"You guys should go home soon. My parents asked me how I got so many good things. I don't know what to say. How can I say that my cousin found them?"

Gu Yu grabbed his hair and said, "Cousin, how come you are so lucky? You are the only one who can pick it up when we come out together."

Li Yunjue and Gu Yu were of similar age, and when they walked around outside, they were often mistaken for twins. "Mumu is a lucky star, not a disaster star as they say."

"That's right, they are wrong." Gu Yu said with a smile.

"Let's find something delicious. I'm hungry."

This is said at the age when children are growing up. Who can be full with just a bowl of porridge?

Li Mumu was worried about what to eat tonight. While her brothers were collecting firewood, she quickly went into the space to see what she could take out that would be both harmonious and delicious.

She searched for a long time and suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Twilight, hurry up."

Li Mumu responded and ran over. Li Yunchao held out his hand and said, "It's getting darker and darker, and the road is hard to walk on. Big brother is holding your hand. What's that in your hand?"

"White radish." Li Mumu said in a baby voice.

"White radish?" Li Yunchao looked at it suspiciously. How could a white radish be so small? Besides, there was no one living here. Who planted it?

He came closer and shouted in surprise, "Come here quickly."

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Cousin, wait for me." The fat boy Gu Yu also came over after falling down on his short legs.

"Look, this is ginseng. Twilight found it."

Li Mumu shook her head, "White radish."

"Okay, okay, Mumu, if you say white radish, it's a white radish." Li Yunchao rubbed her hair with a doting look on his face. "Cousin, you can secretly give this to my second aunt later. We should be passing by the town tomorrow. Find a way to sell it so we can buy some more things."
