Chapter 182 Glory to Ancestor 7
The next morning, Xu Fu finally slept in at a normal time, not getting up until after 6 a.m.
The female supporting character's mother, who found the money, surprisingly didn't rush out today.
Instead, he woke up at the same time as Xu Fu...
Of the five sisters, only the eldest sister cooked in the kitchen.
The other four have vanished without a trace!
Xu Fu didn't pay much attention to the above situation. After washing up, he went into the kitchen.
The pot contained thick, cooked rice, with a few bits of corn grits still faintly visible.
There was a plate of stir-fried greens on the table, along with seven plump white eggs.
Xu Fu nodded in satisfaction, but the female supporting character's mother, who then walked in, was finding fault with everything he did.
"You're still cooking rice porridge?! And it's so thick, do you want to die?"
"You all want to eat as much as you want from this huge pot? Don't you even know if you deserve it!"
"And these eggs, seven of them?! You actually had the nerve to cook seven of them—"
"They're all money-losing products; I ate them yesterday and I still want to eat them today!!!"
The eldest sister sat silently in front of the stove, poking at the fire.
Only Xu Fu could play the villain, so he immediately interrupted the female supporting character's mother's ramblings.
"Mom! Let's eat first."
Seeing that no one else had a chance to speak, Xu Fu looked at his eldest sister and asked,
"Where are they? Why aren't they here yet?"
Just as Xu Fu finished speaking, four other maids walked in from outside, each carrying a basket on their backs.
The two older children carried two baskets of firewood, and the two younger children carried two baskets of wild grass.
"We don't raise pigs, why did you bring this pig feed back here?!"
Xu Fu looked at the fifth son and asked softly.
"These are wild vegetables, not weeds. We'll dry them and save them for winter..."
Xu Fu was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked up at the sky and, realizing he had spoken out of turn, silently shut his mouth.
The female supporting character's mother ignored the group, holding her large bowl and sitting at the table, eating with relish.
The others quickly washed their hands, filled their bowls with rice, and casually picked up a couple of bites of vegetables.
Just as he was about to leave the kitchen, Xu Fu pointed to the eggs on the table.
He shouted to the crowd, "One for each person, take them all."
The female supporting character's mother wanted to bang on the table when she heard this, but she immediately became timid when faced with Xu Fu's calm gaze.
He snorted heavily and shoveled most of the plate of vegetables into his own bowl.
Just as he was about to grab a couple more eggs and put them in his pocket, Xu Fu coughed heavily again.
The female supporting character's mother could only grit her teeth, take her own one, and stomp her feet as she returned to her room.
With the female supporting character's mother gone, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and the five sisters didn't leave either.
The eldest sister sat down directly in front of Xu Fu, her chopsticks reaching for the plate of green vegetables.
Others followed suit and went to the table one after another.
Xu Fu quickly finished the porridge in his bowl, picked up his egg, and began to eat it slowly and deliberately.
As for his lunch, Xu Fu turned to look at the pot; there was enough for at least three people.
But he didn't want to eat anymore, and coincidentally, it was during school hours, and the fifth child was still right under everyone's noses.
Xu Fu couldn't openly give himself extra food either...
Feeling the money in his pocket, Xu Fu took a deep breath and pulled out 100 yuan.
In front of everyone, give each person 20, and distribute them in order.
"Put them all away, keep them for lunch at school, so you don't go hungry."
Based on current prices, a bowl of cheap rice noodles in town costs at most 50 cents.
Although the portion is small and it's not fried, there's hot soup, green vegetables, and two or three slices of meat.
It's only 5 cents, why are you chasing after a Rolls-Royce?!
Xu Fu then turned to look at the fifth son, and solemnly instructed him...
"Don't bother bringing me lunch, I don't like cold food."
"If you want to eat, bring your own. You don't need to worry about me anymore."
Five banknotes lay on the table, untouched by anyone. The eldest sister, however, stared intently at Xu Fu.
Finally, she said softly, "Where did you get the money?!"
I was just about to say that they don't use dirty money; although they're poor, they're still people with integrity.
Unexpectedly, Xu Fu rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly,
"If your dad gave you money, wouldn't you also ask all sorts of questions?!"
“But you’re not,” the older sister immediately tried to retort, but her expression shifted slightly.
This is money! They've never received more than 50 cents of pocket money in their entire lives!
My mind was already screaming to take the money quickly, but reason held back my hand that wanted to cause trouble.
Xu Fu sat quietly, seeing that none of them moved.
He glanced at the doorway and lowered his voice to say...
"Don't let Mom know about this, if you don't want your money to be taken away."
"Don't publicize it so everyone knows!!!"
"Don't buy those random, flashy things and put them out in the open."
"But if you get caught, you'd better not implicate me, because I won't admit it anyway."
Xu Fu paused for a moment, then finally said, "If you want to bring your own lunch from home, that's fine too."
You can cook more rice in the morning from now on, as long as he provides enough.
I'm just worried that the mountains are high and the roads are long, and the weather is cold, so I might feel unwell after eating cold food...
But 20 yuan is enough for one person to eat 40 lunches. If two people share a bowl...
That would save a lot of money—
If they buy lunchboxes and bring their own food from home, they'll save even more money.
It all depends on the individual's choice.
After Xu Fu finished speaking, he clapped his hands and left the kitchen without looking back.
It was still early, and Xu Fu didn't want to go to school so soon, so he searched for treasure in the original owner's room.
The 12-year-old boy simply refused to believe that the original owner had no secrets at all.
Xu Fu touched the desk, then the wardrobe, and then rummaged through his bed.
I only found two candy wrappers under the bed, and then my hands were covered in dust...
"How filthy!" Xu Fu patted the bed twice, then noticed the worn-out sheets and blankets.
Xu Fu quickly dismantled it, then carried the items out of the room.
"Who can help me wash?" Xu Fu called out to the five people in the kitchen.
Everyone looked up once, then silently turned their heads away.
The two younger siblings looked at their eldest sister, their expressions full of inquiry.
Meanwhile, the older cousin gave the younger one a wink, wanting someone to take over the matter.
The fifth brother realized he couldn't resist and could only resign himself to his fate, standing up.
Before he could even take a step, the older woman swiftly pushed him back into the chair.
He looked at Xu Fu and replied, "Put it in the basin, I'll wash it right away—"
Xu Fu didn't stand on ceremony, tossing the bed sheets and blankets into the basin, and nodded in satisfaction.
As the older woman walked over, he reminded her, "Hurry up and wash, don't be late for school!"
"Wring it out a bit, so you can change into it when you get back tonight."
"Add more laundry detergent, preferably to make the clothes smell nicer."
Xu Fu, like an old man, pointed out the direction of the country from behind, while the female supporting character's mother hid in her room, showing no intention of showing herself.
