But it hasn't been paid off yet.

The reason why Brother Gu broke his leg this time was that he heard that he could get a lot of money by joining a film crew. It happened that a film crew came to the city to film, so he went to recommend himself.

Because of his good looks, he was easily selected.

Unexpectedly, before the scene could be filmed, something went wrong and he fell from a height.

The crew sent the person back, compensated him for some medical expenses, and then left him alone.

But the family couldn't afford any money, so my eldest brother could only lie in bed and endure it.

But the original owner was selfish and willful and made trouble with him.

Shen Yizhi recalled these things and couldn't help but feel sorry for his brothers.

Coming to the table, looking at the bowl of dumplings in front of him, Shen Yizhi was very surprised. Logically speaking, this family could barely afford to eat, so how could they make dumplings? "Second brother, are we making dumplings today?"

Gu Xueting sneered: "The aunt next door sent it."

I see.

The Gu family and the Xiao family next door have been neighbors for many years and have a very good relationship. If one family makes something delicious, they will send some to the other family.

In the three years since Gu's father and mother passed away, the Xiao family has taken good care of the Gu children.

Shen Yizhi was just about to pick up his chopsticks to start eating when he noticed that his younger brother Gu Tianqi on his left was staring at him... and the dumplings in front of him.

She suddenly remembered that it was not easy to eat dumplings in this era, let alone for a poor family like the Gu family.

The brothers in the Gu family have always loved their younger sister, Gu Tang, and whenever there is something delicious at home, they always give it to her.

Even the youngest brother had to stand aside.

Looking at the other people at the table, they all had only a bowl of porridge in front of them, and there were only two simple side dishes on the table, fried eggplant with green peppers, and sour cowpea.

The only thing in front of her was a bowl of fragrant dumplings.

How can she eat these dumplings?

Shen Yizhi went to the kitchen to get a plate and put the dumplings in it. "I can't finish so many. You guys eat too."

She also picked one up for Gu Tianqi, put it in his bowl, and smiled at him.

Gu Tianqi looked at her with wide eyes in surprise, as if he was meeting this sister for the first time.

Shen Yizi paused. It's not a good idea to act too much on the first day. Just take it slow.

Gu Xueting looked at her thoughtfully, picked up the bowl and drank the porridge in big gulps without touching the dumplings.

Shen Yizi picked up a piece of eggplant and put it into his mouth. When he took a bite, he felt a bursting crispness. The green pepper was not spicy at all, but rather had a hint of sweetness.

Shen Yizi's eyes lit up instantly.

She didn't expect that a simple dish of fried eggplant and green peppers could be so delicious.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of what the old man often said: "Children nowadays are too lucky. They have never eaten anything good."

Shen Yizhi: Isn't this logic a bit wrong? How can you be happy if you haven't eaten anything good?

"If you have never eaten good food, you naturally don't know how bad their food is now. There is no harm without comparison. Isn't this happiness?"

Shen Yizhizi: What you said makes a lot of sense. I am speechless.

But in fact, she couldn't understand it at all.

How come those delicious dishes carefully prepared by famous chefs tasted like pig food in the old man's mouth? The old man explained to her: "Whether a dish is delicious or not, the cooking method and seasoning are secondary. The most important thing is the ingredients themselves. Good ingredients, even if they are just stir-fried with a little oil and salt, can be delicious. What are we eating now?

"Pigs fed with feed, chickens locked in cages, vegetables grown with all kinds of waste gas and pesticides... can the things made from them be eaten? They'll only fill your stomach."

Now while eating this dish of fried eggplant and green peppers, Shen Yizi finally understood how reasonable the old man's words were.

She felt that there was one more benefit to coming here, she could enjoy a variety of pollution-free, pure and natural delicious ingredients!

After dinner, Shen Yizi originally wanted to wash the dishes, but Gu Xueting snatched them away and didn't let her touch them at all.

Shen Yizhi couldn't help but sigh. The original owner was already ten years old. A girl of eleven years old could do most of the labor in many families, but her brothers didn't even let her wash the dishes. They really spoiled her into a spoiled girl who never had to do housework.

No wonder she developed the character of being ignorant of suffering and only caring about taking.

Since she is not allowed to wash the dishes, she might as well go see her eldest brother.

Gu Tianlin sat on the bed with his back against the pillow. There was a small table in front of him, and he was writing something at the desk.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and smiled when he saw her, "Tangtang, have you eaten?"

Shen Yizhi looked at him and replied blankly: "I ate it, big brother."

Although I knew from memory that this brother was very handsome, it was only when I saw him in person that I realized how impactful his face was.

Her eyebrows and eyes are like a landscape painting in ink, and her temperament is like clear jade. One look is stunning, two looks are soothing, and three looks... you'll want to look again.

When he smiled at her just now, shallow dimples appeared on his cheeks.

What a warm and gentle boy.

Even though his leg was injured so badly and he had no money for treatment, and might be disabled for life, he was still able to smile so brightly.

Shen Yizi felt even more distressed.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Gu Tianlin panicked when he saw her, "Tangtang, what happened? Did your second brother bully you again?"

Shen Yizhi hurried over and comforted him: "No, big brother, second brother didn't bully me, I just felt that I was too ignorant before."

Gu Tianlin held her shoulders and wiped her tears with his fingers, "It's my fault that you don't have a new dress to wear. Don't worry, I will buy you a dress when my royalties come in, okay?"

Shen Yizhi shook his head and said with a nasal voice: "No, the money is for you to treat your leg and pay off the family debt. I don't want the skirt."

Her being so sensible made Gu Tianlin feel even more indebted.

He held her in his arms, patted her thin shoulders and touched her bony spine, and his heart felt a pang of sadness.

If her parents were still alive, Tangtang would have lived like a little princess. How could she not be able to afford a new dress like she is now? Shen Yizhi was held in his arms and naturally smelled the fresh scent on him.

Considering that she was much older than him, and now he was treating her like a little girl, she felt a little embarrassed.

Stand up and get out of his arms.

On the table lay a stack of pale yellow grid paper, covered in rows of neat handwriting.

Shen Yizhi read two lines and found that it was actually a plot.

Thinking of the royalties he just mentioned, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Brother, are you writing a novel?"
