"If you're still a man, go and earn money for today's meal. Our son will be back soon. Do you want him to go hungry?"
After saying that, the woman walked into the kitchen crying.
Sigh~
Black Bull sighed, clutching his head in frustration.
He didn't understand why, after following Xu Rong to guard the border for twenty years since he was thirteen, and finally being discharged with a broken leg, he couldn't even afford to feed his family a full meal.
Of course, he wouldn't attribute the problem to the Xu family; he would only feel that he hadn't worked hard enough and that it was all his own fault.

"Wait!"
Black Bull immediately stopped the woman's actions, his eyes fixed on Er Gou.
