Chapter 13 Everything starts tonight.



Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan looked at each other and suddenly felt a blockage in their hearts.

It seemed like a thought that had never existed before was stuffed into my mind by someone unknown.

It's really chaotic.

But one thing is clear, Xiaoxi did a great job and it was really satisfying. It seemed that these were also the thoughts and words they had buried deep in their hearts.

Especially Shen Qingshan, he had thought about Xiaoxi's words countless times in his mind. Xiaoxi was right, his second uncle was an ungrateful person! He suddenly remembered something and went to the outer room. When he came in, he was holding a wicker basket with more than a dozen roasted potatoes and five bird eggs.

Even though Goudan and Yaya had two dumplings in their stomachs, they still swallowed their saliva.

These are the potatoes and bird eggs that Shen Qingshan baked during his breaks from work.

The potatoes were forced upon him by Aunt Su last night. He did not take them home but hid them under a willow tree in the wheat field. When he got off work at noon, he secretly went to a deserted place by the river and happened to find a nest of bird eggs, which he roasted together.

He didn't want to give these things to his second uncle and the others, but there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that it was wrong to do so and that the food should be given to the people in the main house. However, he was still reluctant.

He was hesitant outside the Shen family's wall, but when he heard Xiaoxi's questioning, he heard every word, and he knew he had done the right thing.

My second uncle is an ungrateful person. He got my father's job but treated his children like that.

He is not worthy of being his second uncle!

From now on, no matter what food we find, we will not give them any.

Although Shen Qingshan felt upset, he still put the basket on the table, glanced at Shen Yu, frowned, and gave Goudan and Yaya an egg each, whispering, "Eat quickly..."

Goudan and Yaya swallowed their saliva and started peeling the bird eggs with their little hands. Goudan peeled the eggs quickly and handed them to Shen Yu after he finished. He tilted his little face up and said, "Dad, eat the bird eggs. They are good for your health."

Yaya placed the bird eggs in front of Chen Li.

Seeing the sensible child, Shen Yu and Chen Li's expressions improved a little. However, noon was not the time for idle chat. After lunch, Chen Li still had to take care of the vegetable garden and pick the extra wilted leaves to chop for the two chickens.

She washes the dishes in the main house at noon and in the evening. She has to finish these quickly because she has to go to the wheat field to bundle wheat in the afternoon...

Chen Li quickened her pace and distributed the potatoes to her children neatly. Of course, she would not eat the bird eggs that Yaya gave her, so she put them in Yaya's bowl.

Shen Mingxi looked at the baked potatoes in front of him, and the unique burnt aroma of potatoes hit him in the face.

It seemed as if a small hand was hooking her empty stomach.

The eldest and second brothers would occasionally bring back some food from outside.

Otherwise, with all the leftovers, not to mention others, even Goudan and Yaya would have starved to death long ago.

Shen Mingxi suddenly smiled, tears in his eyes, and placed a potato in front of Shen Yu, and softened his voice, "Dad, let's eat."

"Xiaoxi?" Shen Yu suddenly spoke, his voice seemed a little cautious.

"dad?"

"Dad heard everything you said. I...I..." Shen Yu suddenly couldn't speak.

My throat felt itchy and I started coughing again.

Shen Mingxi felt sad for a while. His father was a foolish filial son. He was using his life and their lives to show his filial piety.

Blind filial piety is wrong, but those who take advantage of his blind filial piety are all bad people.

She hated the people in the main house.

She would never forget that scene until her death. Her skinny father fell off a cliff. When she found him, he was covered in blood. His shaking hands didn't even allow him to take out the textbook from his chest. It was for her tutoring...

"...Dad, stop talking and eat."

Shen Mingxi's voice was a little hurried. After she finished speaking, she drank the rice water in the bowl in one breath, and her tears fell into the bowl. She picked up a piece of steamed bread and ate it with her head down. The tears in her eyes seemed to turn into sharp swords.

She glanced at the dining table and her family members who were silently eating what seemed like leftovers. She felt an immense chill in her heart. Her days of working like a slave should end today.

Everything starts tonight.

The Shen family, it’s time for a change! …

After lunch in the hot summer, there is a break called a break.

Because the sun is very scorching at noon in August in the north, it is easy to get heatstroke if working at this time, which is not worth the effort. Therefore, people only go to work in the fields after avoiding the scorching sun.

No matter how anxious Mr. Shen was, he would not dare to joke with the lives of his members.

So, these days, everyone can sleep for an hour after lunch.

This is true for other people, but not for Chen Li. She has too much housework to do, and because of years of exploitation, she seems to have lost the ability to think. Except for the loving look in her eyes when she sees her children, she is wooden and cowardly at other times.

Shen Yu was not in good health, so after eating, he lay down with his eyes closed, seeming to fall asleep.

After Shen Jiawen listened to Shen Qingshan's story, his dark eyes seemed like a cold pond, deep and bottomless.

His eyes followed the stream that had followed Chen Li out.

He pursed his lips, gave Shen Qingshan a wink, and told Goudan and Yaya not to talk and wake up Shen Yu, and the two brothers went out.

In fact, it's the same as always.

Old Mrs. Shen was naturally sleepy after eating and drinking, and the others were even more sleepy, so the yard became unusually quiet.

At this time, they were all doing trivial housework. The vegetable garden had just been watered yesterday, and the two brothers didn't have much work to do, so they both stood in front of Shen Mingxi.

At this time, Shen Mingxi had finished cutting the vegetable leaves and scattered them on the bluestone slabs. Chen Li was still washing dishes in the kitchen. There was not much oil or water, so the dishes were easy to wash.

Shen Mingxi did not go to help as he did in the past. Instead, he glanced at his two brothers, cleaned up the chopping board, stood up, looked at the quiet main house again, and whispered, "Big brother, second brother, do you have anything to ask me?"

They stood in the shade by the wall. This was the Shen family's warehouse. Next to it was a chicken coop, and behind it was a toilet. Next to it were two sand pear trees and a cherry tree that were more than 20 years old.

Now, the branches are full of green and red sand apples.

Trembling, very tempting.

Shen Jiawen took a look and looked away. He knew that these were eaten by the people in the main house, especially Baozhi, because she was a lucky star. The fact that the sand apples could bloom and bear fruit was all thanks to Shen Baozhi, so naturally she should enjoy them.

I don’t feel anything on normal days, but today it’s particularly congested.

I had a lot of questions to ask Xiaoxi, but I couldn't say a single word.

Shen Mingxi didn't want to waste the hard-earned rest time. She didn't wait for their answers and asked directly, "Big Brother, Second Brother, was there anything wrong with what I asked Second Uncle today?"
