Chapter 62 Keep Your Word
Yue Lingjia looked at the fish in Yue Fuli's hand, then looked at her brothers and sisters who were gathering firewood not far away. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go gather firewood. But, big sister, you have to keep your word. If I gather firewood, you have to give me fish."
"Don't worry, big sister always keeps her word." Yue Fuli smiled. The child is still young, so she still needs to be taught.
Although she didn't like the second wife or her children very much, she didn't mind spending some time to educate them well.
With Yue Fuli's promise, Yue Lingjia went to collect firewood happily.
Mrs. Wu watched as her son went to Yue Fuli to ask for fish, but not only did he not get any fish, but he ran off to collect firewood. She couldn't help but feel angry and scolded, "You're useless! You can't even get a fish."
When Yue Zhenhe heard his wife was being disloyal again, he directly retorted, "If you are useful, why don't you go yourself?"
"You only know how to criticize me. Who am I doing this for?" Mrs. Wu was very unhappy. She glanced at Yue Zhenhe and said, "If you had any ability, the children and I would not have to endure this hardship, let alone be reduced to asking others for food."
"Shut up!" Yue Zhenhe was a man after all, so how could he be willing to listen to such words? He was indeed useless, but Wu was just as good as him, otherwise why would she marry him?
Yue Lingxue looked at her parents arguing, her face looking grim. She said coldly, "Can you guys stop arguing? You're happy just because everyone laughs at you."
"Axue, why do you talk to your parents like that?" Mrs. Wu was even more upset when her daughter said that. She felt that her daughter had not been very considerate since she was exiled.
Yue Lingxue didn't want to argue with her mother, so she stood up and walked towards her brother. She didn't hear what Yue Fuli had just said to her brother. However, she could see that her brother was very happy, so she decided to ask him what Yue Fuli had said to him.
"Sister, why are you here?" Yue Lingjia was a little surprised to see her sister.
"Xiao Jia, what are you doing?" Yue Lingxue looked at her brother and asked with a smile.
"Collecting firewood. Big sister said that if I want to eat fish, I have to work. She said that as long as I follow Brother Zhang and the others to collect firewood, she will give me fish to eat."
After hearing this, Yue Lingxue was stunned for a moment. She wanted to ask Yue Fuli why she ordered her younger brother to work, but when she saw the children from the eldest wife's house also working, she was speechless.
Yes, they only saw that the eldest wife lived better than them, but they didn’t see what they did.
It seems that she needs to learn from Yue Fuli, otherwise it will be difficult for her to reach Qianzhou alive.
Thinking of this, Yue Lingxue also joined the team collecting firewood.
Seeing her daughter helping Yue Fuli with work, Mrs. Wu became even more unhappy. However, she did not dare to get angry and could only sulk by herself.
Yue Fuli finished preparing the fish and didn't say much when she saw Yue Lingxue coming over with some firewood. However, as she was about to leave, she said, "Bring a bowl over later and I'll make you some fish soup."
Having just eaten grilled food yesterday, Yue Fuli didn’t plan to make grilled fish today. Instead, she borrowed the official’s pot to make some fish soup to nourish the old lady and the children.
Yue Lingxue didn't expect Yue Fuli to say such a thing. She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and responded, "Okay!"
The fish soup was ready, and Yue Lingxue brought over a bowl as expected. Yue Fuli didn't give much, only half a bowl, so everyone had the same amount, without any bias.
