Chapter 47: One Thing on the Surface, Another Behind the Scenes
"Why didn't you see any fish on the dinner table tonight?"
Mrs. Du: "..."
She cleaned up the remaining two fish and hung them under the eaves to dry them.
Not hearing a reply, Bai Anchen pulled his feet out of the water, wiped them with a cloth, and threw the cloth into the footbath, splashing water all over Mrs. Du's face.
Mrs. Du lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face, and replied in a low voice.
"When making lunch, my mother asked me to clean up the fish, saying that my second brother and his family worked hard, so she fried one fish for each of them. I hung the remaining two fish under the eaves to dry them."
Bai Anchen listened with a gloomy look in his eyes, which meant that he was the only one in the family who didn't eat fish.
The second brother and his wife worked hard?
Today, everyone in the family worked hard, but who worked harder than him?
The whole family depended on him for food, and he almost risked his life to earn that little money today.
When he paid the bill, he didn't even touch a penny, but Lao Si put it in his pocket and bought brown rice.
That was his hard-earned money.
It was ridiculous that no one thought of him when he had delicious food.
Bai Anchen turned over and fell on the bed, moving his sore limbs. He had to think about himself. He couldn't spend his whole life on a family of vampires.
After doing the physical work, Bai Anchen didn't vent his dissatisfaction. He fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
Du took the foot washing water out and poured it out. As soon as she reached the door, she heard snoring in the room. She pursed her lips, washed herself, and went to bed.
The next day.
When it was just dawn, Bai Yunxi heard the movement outside.
It's not to mention that although Du had some personality problems, she was really hardworking.
Now on this bad day, she didn't have the right to sleep in. She signed in to the system first, got out of bed, dressed, and went out to wash.
Seeing the fire burning in Mrs. Du's stove, she took a broom to sweep the yard.
Looking at the shack where they lived, Bai Anchen's naughty kid should not have woken up yet.
"Mrs. Du, fry the fish left over from yesterday and give it to the eldest and fourth brother. We ate it yesterday, let them have a taste too."
"Oh~, I know, mother."
Mrs. Du was stunned. The husband was angry about this last night. If she knew that mother wanted to save it for them to eat in the morning, she didn't know what she would think.
At breakfast, Bai Anchen was indeed stunned when he looked at the fish placed in front of him.
Looking at Mrs. Du, his eyes were full of reproach.
"Mr. Husband, in the morning, mother specifically told me to fry the fish for you and the fourth brother, saying that we had eaten it, and this was left for you."
"Thank you mother for always thinking about her son. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I eat it or not. I am the eldest son, and I should take care of my younger brothers more."
'He is the eldest son in the family and the backbone of the family. He should eat the best. Only when he is well can the whole family enjoy the happiness. ’
Bai Yunxi glanced at him and spoke calmly.
“There is just enough for one fish per person, so naturally everyone should have a share. A harmonious family can last long... Besides, you still have to go to work after breakfast. Fish meat will give you more strength.”
Bai Anyi listened to his mother's words and grinned,
“Mom, you are right. It is not a heavy job for a son to take care of his elder brother. I will give half of my fish to my elder brother.”
As he said that, Bai Anyi really broke it in the middle and put half of the fish into Bai Anchen's bowl.
‘Tsk~, he finally understood that my mother and I definitely did it on purpose. If he doesn't add fuel to the fire, how can he justify the cold stares he has suffered? ’
Bai Anchen: “…”
