Chapter 841: Suffering the consequences of one's own actions (Thirteen)
After hearing about the family situation of Liu Biao and the other two, Lu Xiaoxiao thought that Er Shunzi's family might be the same as theirs. If so, then the four of them could really be considered brothers in distress.
"Er Shunzi, tell me about your family situation." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Er Shunzi.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Er Shunzi said, "My family situation is very simple. There are only three of us, my parents and I. But my parents are both quite old, so their health is not very good."
"Are you your parents' late-born child?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing Er Shunzi's words.
"Um."
After Lu Xiaoxiao learned about the situation of Liu Biao and the other three, she said to them, "You don't need to come to me during the three months of punishment. Come back after the three months of punishment are over."
"Why?" Liu Biao asked after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"It's not spring yet during the three months you were punished, so there's no work for you to do when you come to me."
"Oh, I see."
"Remember not to take those jobs again when you go back this time. You won't be so lucky every time."
Liu Biao fell silent after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. Although he knew that Lu Xiaoxiao was right, reality did not allow them to do so because they needed money.
Seeing that Liu Biao and the others were silent after hearing what she said, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Biao, "Why don't you say anything?"
“We can’t stop taking jobs.”
"Why?"
"Because we need to support ourselves and our families, we need money."
After hearing what Liu Biao said, Lu Xiaoxiao realized that Liu Biao's family was not in a good situation now, so if they didn't take the job, they really wouldn't be able to make ends meet.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and then asked Liu Biao and the others, "What skills do you have?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Biao said, "I can do some carpentry work, Liu Erdan can hunt, Liu Gouzi can cook, and Er Shunzi can weave baskets."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Liu Biao said, she said to him, "You can make something practical and sell it to me, so that you can make money without taking those jobs."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Erdan immediately asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "What should I do? I can't do anything, and now is not a good time to hunt."
"You can chop firewood and sell it to me. If you don't want to make anything, then you can chop firewood and sell it to me. The money from chopping firewood is not much, but it is enough for you to live on."
"Can we ask for food?" Liu Biao asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Can."
"Thank you." After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's answer, Liu Biao bowed deeply to Lu Xiaoxiao. The reason why he bowed to Lu Xiaoxiao was because he knew that food was much more precious than money now. Lu Xiaoxiao was so generous in giving them food, which was worthy of his bow.
When Liu Erdan and the others saw Liu Biao bowing to Lu Xiaoxiao, they also hurriedly bowed to Lu Xiaoxiao. After bowing, they said thank you to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't care about Liu Biao and the others' gratitude, because the reason she helped Liu Biao and the others was that she hoped they would be loyal to her, otherwise she would not be able to hand over things to them in the future.
"Do you have any food at home?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Biao and the others.
"And some more."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded when she heard what Liu Biao said, and then she said to Liu Biao and the others, "You can start chopping wood and deliver it to my house tomorrow, but don't go into the deep mountains when you chop wood, because there are wolves in the mountains."
"Yeah, we got it."
