Chapter 73 Who is the rough male voice?

The brothers ate calmly and were not at all tempted by the porridge in Tang Yue's bowl.
When Tang Yue looked over, she found that their bowls were filled with cornmeal porridge. Lin Cuicui had been grinding some cornmeal when she had some free time these past two days. She used the coarse cornmeal to make porridge, and the finer cornmeal to make pancakes.
Tang Yue frowned, "What my brothers eat is different from what I eat."
Tang Nan smiled and said, "Sister, eat it. Brothers need to grow strong, so they don't need to eat such good food."
After saying that, he couldn't help swallowing.
Lin Cuicui ignored the boys and said, "Yueyue is not in good health, eat more good food to replenish your body."
Tang Yue didn't say anything. When the brothers finished their bowls of porridge, she stood up and scooped two spoonfuls for each of them. "Brother, eat it. I can't finish it myself."
It was obvious that Lin Cuicui only made one bowl for her, and no one else had any.
When it came to Lin Cuicui and Old Li, they both refused to take anything. Tang Yue had no choice but to drink the remaining half bowl of porridge.
The three brothers also wanted to refuse, but Tang Yue said that if they didn't drink, she wouldn't eat either, which made the three brothers give up the idea.
Each person was given only two spoonfuls of porridge, but they drank it even slower than a whole bowl of porridge, as if they were afraid that the porridge in the bowl would run out.
Tang Yue felt sad.
"Mom, isn't our family rich? Why can't we eat meat?"
Lin Cuicui blurted out, "It's good enough for our family to have enough food to eat now."
Tang Yue didn't like Lin Cuicui's words. Is it enough to just eat? Why are their requirements so low?
Seeing her daughter pouting, Lin Cuicui wanted to explain but couldn't open her mouth.
Old Li rubbed Tang Yue's head and said, "We have a large family. The food we earn from work points every day is definitely not enough to eat. We have to use money to make up for it later. Besides, we don't have much other income, so the money will eventually run out."
“Isn’t money earned?”
Lin Cuicui and Old Li remained silent. They knew money had to be earned, but where could they earn it at this moment? Without a letter of introduction, they couldn't even leave the village.
Tang Yue also learned a little about the situation here, "Mom, how much would it cost for our family to eat meat for a month?"
The pancake in Lin Cuicui's mouth no longer smelled good. She forced herself to swallow it. "Pork is only 80 or 90 cents a pound now. If I eat meat every day, I'll eat a pound a day. That's a pound a month..."
Tang Yue has already learned the multiplication tables, and she still likes this way of arithmetic. "It's only 27 yuan a month at most."
Lin Cuicui looked at Tang Bei, who nodded, and Lin Cuicui followed suit. Thinking about eating 27 yuan worth of pork a month, Lin Cuicui couldn't help but shudder.
"Yueyue, I think we should just forget it. Our family's annual income, your grandfather's and mother's, is only about 150 to 160 yuan. We have to leave some for buying rice and cloth, and if we have a headache or a fever, we have to take medicine.
We really don’t have the money to eat meat every day.”
Tang Yue was a little frustrated. She knew she couldn't engage in scalping here, and her family's annual income was too low. Where could she get the money?
It didn't matter whether they could get the money or not, they just had to eat meat. No one in this family had a normal body; they were all very thin.
"Can we go hunting in the mountains?"
Lin Cuicui and Old Li looked at each other. They really didn't know this.
"In the past, in Qiligou, every time a hunter killed an animal, his work points were counted, which was a bit more than the farm work. Sometimes they would secretly keep one or two for themselves to eat. But since I've been here, I haven't asked about it yet."
Old Li said, "They should be similar, but the mountains here are different from ours. I didn't see any animal signs around when I went up the mountain today. It seems that we are quite far inland."
"Yueyue, we've been living like this for so many years, so it's okay if we don't eat meat. These days, even high-ranking officials can't eat meat every day. Now that we have enough food to eat, we're already very happy."
Tang Yue didn't say anything else. She would go up the mountain herself tomorrow to see what the situation was.
When Tang Yue regained consciousness during sleep, the needle was still surging through her mind. She was speechless. What the hell was this? Why wouldn't it just stop?
"Hey, aren't you tired? Come down and rest for a while."
The needle trembled, paused for a moment, and then continued to move around aimlessly.
Tang Yue didn't know what it was going to do, so she simply ignored it and began to direct her mental energy into the box. After trying for a long time, she found that the box was just a stick figure. It seemed that if she didn't fill it with substance, it wouldn't be able to hold anything.
Finally, Tang Yue had no choice but to use her mental energy to fill the box bit by bit. This time, when she had a little mental energy left in her mind, Tang Yue stopped. The feeling of mental exhaustion was unpleasant. It was nothing serious, so she decided not to torture herself.
The spiritual energy here was quite abundant, and Tang Yue felt that she should be able to reach the second and a half level soon. She practiced every night, and estimated that in a month or so, she should be able to break through to the third level of Qi training.
There was no other way. Each level required more spiritual power, and she really didn't know what level of spiritual power she could reach. Tang Yue didn't make any comparisons now, and she wasn't so anxious anymore.
Anyway, she now has enough ability to protect her family, so it doesn't seem to make any difference whether she is at a higher or lower level.
The production team's grass has basically been pulled out. In the next few days, they will go to the fields to pick up leftovers, which will earn them 3 work points a day. It won't take long to finish the work, and the village will have a few days of leisure.
Today, Tang Yue and the other two brothers, Tang Bei, did not go to the fields. Instead, they went to the mountains together to collect firewood.
Of course, this was the idea of the three Tangbei brothers. Tang Yue’s goal was simple: to get the meat.
A few people were walking up the mountain together. When they passed by the cowshed, they heard a quarrel inside.
"Lu Zhanheng, maybe it's because you've been the chief for too long that you still don't realize your true status? Why are you being so aggressive towards me? No matter how aggressive you are, you'd still be living in the bullpen now."
Tang Yue didn't hear any other sounds, but she was very familiar with the cursing voice. Wasn't that Lu Yong? This guy was really interesting. Didn't they say that you should try not to interact with people from the bullpen?
How dare Lu Yong come here and cause trouble? Isn't she afraid of being seen?
And Lu Zhanheng? Was that the Lu Zhanheng she knew? What a fate, they ended up in the same place?
"Comrade, this is the bullpen, you should know that, right? If others see you, it will be hard to explain, so you'd better leave quickly."
"Leave? Why should I leave? Didn't you say your medical skills are amazing? What's wrong? Qian Ming, get me some herbal compresses for my face."
"I don't know any herbal remedies. Comrade, you should go to the clinic and buy some ointment to apply on your face."
"You! Qian Ming, aren't you afraid that I will target you during the next meeting?"
Qian Ming sighed, but before he could say anything, a rough voice came from outside.
"Who's in the bullpen?"
The three Tangbei brothers were shocked when they heard the voice coming from their sister's mouth and stood there motionless. After Tang Yue finished shouting, she pulled the three of them and ran away. They soon disappeared into the woods.
The three brothers ran after their sister with blank expressions, their minds still echoing with the words their sister had just shouted. Was that a sound their sister could make?
How could their sister have a man's voice? Is this still their sister?
Just now, when they passed the cowshed, the younger sister stopped when she heard voices inside. Naturally, the three of them wanted to stay with her. They also recognized the bully's voice inside. Wasn't that the person they met on the train?
Why was he in the cowshed? The whole village knew about him falling flat on his face in the fields yesterday. They also heard he'd said something bad about his sister, and several people were looking for a chance to give him a beating.
Finally, when they were no longer visible outside, Tang Yue finally released Tang Nan and Tang Dong's hands. The two boys were breathing heavily, and Tang Bei followed behind them, breathing evenly. Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. It seemed that her brother had made good progress recently.
"Sister, why?"
Tang Yue looked at Tang Bei in confusion, "Brother, why?"
Tang Bei stared into Tang Yue's eyes, "Why did my sister make a man's voice just now?"
Tang Yue's eyes lit up. So this is what they were talking about.
Clearing his throat, Tang Yue called out, "Brother!"
This was Tang Nan's silly voice, and then Tang Yue called out, "Big Brother."
It was Tang Dong's voice.
Finally, Tang Yue said, "The meal is ready, come and eat."
Several brothers widened their eyes, this voice!
