Chapter 178 Glory to Ancestor 3
The fifth brother stared blankly at Xu Fu, his eyes filled with complex thoughts, and for a moment he did nothing else.
Xu Fu saw that the person hadn't moved and assumed that the other party was not satisfied.
Then he took one from his own portion and put it into the other person's pocket.
The man said with a smile, "I don't need you to work for free; this egg is your payment."
"Now you can give me directions, right?!"
The fifth brother then realized what was happening and wanted to return the egg to Xu Fu.
But Xu Fu waved his hand dismissively, walked out of the courtyard ahead of everyone else, looked back at his fifth brother, and urged him on.
"Aren't you leaving yet? You'll be late for school!"
The fifth brother then realized what was happening, immediately nodded, but still didn't say a word.
They quickly passed Xu Fu and walked ahead with their heads down.
They left the village, circled a hill, and stopped at a field at the foot of the hill.
The female supporting character's mother, with her four daughters, was bent over, diligently pulling weeds in the field.
Besides piles of weeds, there were also four worn-out schoolbags on the ridge of the field...
The five people remained eerily silent, none of them speaking, all focused on their own tasks.
"Mom," Xu Fu approached, but the four girls only glanced up at him and ignored him.
Xu Fu didn't pay any attention and called out to the female supporting character's mother who was furthest away.
"Why are you here? The ground is full of bugs! Why aren't you in school yet?!"
Although the female supporting character's mother was speaking to Xu Fu, her gaze drifted towards the fifth son, revealing a reprimanding look in her eyes.
The fifth child remained silent, head bowed, and put down the two schoolbags from his shoulders.
I plan to put them all on the ridge of the field, along with my sisters'.
However, she placed her worn-out one at the bottom, while Xu Fu's half-new, half-old one was on top.
Then he went down to the field in a few steps and joined his sisters in pulling weeds.
Xu Fu also wanted to go down to the ground, but the female supporting character's mother quickly stopped him and stepped forward.
Just as he was about to pat Xu Fu's head, he remembered that he hadn't washed his hands yet, and sheepishly withdrew.
With a smile, he asked, "Have you had breakfast? Why aren't you going to school yet?"
"Mom, I brought you two eggs." Xu Fu said, reaching into his cloth bag.
He took out two still-warm eggs and stuffed them directly into the hands of the female supporting character's mother.
"Mom, it's bad for your health to skip breakfast. The eggs are still warm, eat them quickly—"
"An egg," the female supporting character's mother looked down at the round egg in her hand, her face showing confusion.
He quickly asked, "Where did you get these eggs? Our family—"
Considering that their family can't even afford enough to eat, where would they get the money to buy eggs...
"You...you didn't do something bad, did you?" The female supporting character's mother looked at Xu Fu in disbelief.
Her face showed anger, shame, and resentment at not being able to provide her child with a comfortable life.
They assumed he had tricked them out of a few eggs through other means, driven by his appetite...
Suddenly, I realized that Xu Fu was being foolish and just making trouble for himself!
"You, I—" The female supporting character's mother wanted to return the eggs, but then hesitated.
She didn't care whether she ate them or not, or whether she was scolded, but he still wanted to keep those two eggs.
Leave some for your own child to try...
"Mom!" Xu Fu understood what the other woman was thinking, stamped his foot, and shouted urgently.
"I exchanged my old New Year's money with the villagers for this."
"I also exchanged ten kilograms of rice and two pieces of cured meat, which I put in the kitchen."
"There are about ten eggs left. We'll each eat one every morning from now on."
Xu Fu looked at the female supporting character's mother with a fawning expression and said ingratiatingly,
"Mom, we'll have rice for dinner tonight, and some stir-fried cured pork—"
"Our family hasn't eaten meat in a long time."
Xu Fu didn't wait for the female supporting character's mother to answer, and went straight to his four older sisters.
Ignoring the other person's disgusted expression, he stuffed two eggs into each person's hand.
Without exchanging a single word with them, he climbed up the ridge of the field, slung his schoolbag over his shoulder, and headed towards school.
"Hey, hey! You brat, didn't you wait for your fifth sister—"
The female supporting character's mother was still thinking about the New Year's money when she saw her son walking further and further away, and she quickly called out twice.
"That brat! When did he become so temperamental?"
The female supporting character's mother muttered something, turned her head to look at the five people in the field, and immediately became angry.
"Look! Your little brother has already run far ahead, hurry up and catch up with him—"
"If anything happens to him on the way, I'll make you pay with your lives."
"Get over there right now!" The female supporting character's mother snorted heavily.
He stuffed the two eggs in his hand into his pocket and immediately felt a surge of joy.
The five sisters exchanged glances and then stood up.
They patted the dirt off their hands and the bits of grass off their clothes, then picked up their schoolbags.
They hurried towards the school.
The eldest child is in the third year of junior high school in town, while the second child and the eldest cousin are in the second year of junior high school in town.
The third child is attending junior high school alone.
As for Yaozu and Lao Wu, they are still in fifth grade in the next village.
The group walked together for a while, then split into two groups at the entrance of a neighboring village.
The eldest brother watched Xu Fu and the fifth brother's retreating figures, his expression complex.
But that didn't stop her from peeling the egg in her hand and putting it in her mouth.
Taking a bite of egg white and a bite of egg yolk brings a sense of happiness, and one's eyes immediately squint with joy.
Seeing the eldest sister's posture, the other three quickly stuffed their eggs into their mouths as well.
The only difference was that the eldest cousin received food from her younger sister, and she had an extra egg in her hand.
The fifth sister thought Xu Fu didn't intend to give it to her own sister, so she gritted her teeth, secretly took one, and sent it to her.
The two moved stealthily, and the others didn't notice them.
So my eldest cousin carefully hid the eggs in her bosom, not daring to let anyone else see, but she was secretly overjoyed.
As soon as Lao Wu caught up with Xu Fu, he reached out and took the backpack from Xu Fu's shoulder.
With someone helping him, Xu Fu was naturally happy to relax while still thinking about ways to break the deadlock.
He really couldn't do any work, after all, he's small and there are so many supplies in his space...
Besides, there's the system involved; torturing yourself is simply impossible!
"System, get to work—" Xu Fuhao ruthlessly enslaved the other party.
[Host, please tell me what you need.]
"Take one of the gold bars in my storage space and turn it into a gold bead," Xu Fu paused, his expression hesitant.
Finally, he said, "No need to make them into gold beads, make them into individual buttons."
"Just like the size of this button on my shirt, that'll do."
Okay, that's three points in total. Thank you for your patronage.
Xu Fu counted his gold beads; there were only about 20 left.
He sent out a gold bar, which, after being processed by the system, turned into 30 gold buttons...
"Not bad!" Xu Fu nodded in satisfaction. "System, on the way back to the female supporting character's mother..."
"Let her find a golden bead."
[Host, are you planning to make the female supporting character's mother instantly rich?!]
"We always need to buy some carrots to feed the donkeys in the production team..."
"We always need to put some bait in the pond and try to catch some big, fat fish—"
