"Let's eat," Lan Yun said, refusing to answer the previous question. It was indeed Zhou Boyue who had been handling things at home these past few days.
The problem was that the porridge was a little mushy, the vegetables were sometimes chopped too coarsely and sometimes too finely, and sometimes I even forgot to add salt.
However, considering that he hasn't done anything all these years, it's already quite impressive that he's achieved this much.
He hasn't gone to work despite being sick for so long; he's just stayed home with himself.
Zhou Meiling served them soup, and then sat down to eat.
The meal ended amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.
Before they knew it, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the traditional Little New Year. Early that morning, Zhou Meiling and Song Mingyuan went to the market with a list of things they would need for the New Year.
Zhou Boyue and Lan Yun did a simple cleaning of the house.
I was halfway through my work when an uninvited guest arrived at my house.
Sun Jie's father came to visit again, this time alone, without any family members with him.
When Zhou Boyue saw that it was him standing at the door, he said, "You'd better leave now, or don't blame me for turning ruthless and reporting you to the police again."
"No, I just have something I want to ask you. I'll leave after I ask it." Mr. Sun pleaded as he backed away, afraid that the other party would run back to report the case.
“We don’t know anything about your son’s affairs, and it’s no use asking us.” Zhou Boyue saw that he was poor and looked more than ten years older, so he didn’t plan to report the case.
“My eldest son and daughter-in-law went to Kyushu City to look for your daughter, but they haven’t returned for so long and haven’t been in contact with us. I just want to ask if your daughter has seen them?” Mr. Sun asked cautiously, knowing he was in the wrong.
“My daughter came home from school 20 days ago. Where are your eldest son and daughter-in-law? She doesn’t know either. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my neighbors. My daughter went home a long time ago, so there’s no way she could know anything about them.” Zhou Boyue finished speaking and closed the door without saying another word to him.
There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. Such people like to act like they're living a miserable life and demand your help, which few people can stand.
Mr. Sun eventually left in disgrace, and his youngest son went to prison. Now, even his most capable eldest son and daughter-in-law are nowhere to be found.
It was only then that he realized that if he lost his eldest son and his wife, there would be no one to do the housework. Although his other children could do the work, they couldn't compare to them.
His son's imprisonment also requires money. He thought about it and realized that since he couldn't help in other ways, he wanted to earn more money to send him there, but now it seems that's difficult too.
As heavy snow began to fall, he sensed that his days were numbered...
Nine Provinces City.
Sun Bo and Li Mi stayed in this big city for more than 20 days and discovered that they could make money by collecting recyclables. This made them extremely happy. They went out to collect recyclables during the day and slept under bridges at night. As for food, that was simple; there was rarely any food in the garbage cans.
They could only buy steamed buns from the steamed bun shop, since they wouldn't spoil easily in the cold weather, and they would buy at least 20 at a time. Then they would buy some pickled vegetables. For them, this kind of life wasn't considered hard.
Because they could barely eat cornbread at home, and their food intake was strictly rationed at each meal, all to save money for Sun Jie's schooling. Now that they can eat their fill, they are very content.
Under the bridge arch, a simple structure was built with a few wooden planks, on which were placed tattered blankets that had been picked up, as well as some other odds and ends.
Li Mi put the snakeskin bag she was carrying on her shoulder down on the ground: "Today's harvest is good. I can earn a dollar after selling them."
Sun Bo also put his things down: "Well, I can earn more than a dollar from these things I picked up. I never dared to imagine that we could earn so much money before."
"Quickly start a fire and heat up some steamed buns so we can have a meal. I'm starving!"
