Chapter 780: 202: Direct confrontation, what is her name? _3

Wu Yanyun stewed porridge while holding her younger brother. By the time the porridge was ready, Yan Erju and Wu Jinshu had returned home.

Yan Erju worked at the rice shop, carrying 150 catties of rice per bag for 2 cents. Ten bags of rice amounted to 1 cent, and Yan Erju could carry 60 bags a day, earning about 1.2 yuan a day.

But not every day of the month had work at the rice shop—on average, only 15 days of the month did, which meant that Yan Erju made about 18 yuan a month.

Because of his disabilities, Wu Jinshu could only do odd jobs at the construction site, earning only 0.2 yuan a day.

The couple’s combined monthly income was 24 yuan. But with four children to raise and other necessities, housing, water and electricity to pay for, they were almost always in debt by the end of the month.

Wu Yanyun was a very sensible little girl. Yan Erju and Wu Dalong were busy with work so they didn’t have to worry about the house, which Wu Yanyun kept tidy.

Wu Yanyun served the food on the table. “Mom, Dad, dinner’s ready.”

Dinner was very simple, just porridge and pancakes, with a side of pickles.

“Hmm,” Yan Erju nodded approvingly, “Was Xiaolong a good boy today?”

Wu Yanyun replied, “Xiaolong was very good.”

“That’s good to hear.” Yan Erju loved her eldest daughter very much. If it weren’t for her, their family might not pull through. Despite their struggles, life wasn’t that terrible.

Wu Yanyun brought out some oranges. “Mom, Dad, have some oranges.”

Wu Jinshu was surprised. “Xiaoyun, where did you get these oranges from?”

They could certainly not afford to buy oranges considering their current state.

Wu Yanyun explained, “Oh, never mind that. Dad doesn’t like oranges. Dalong, you and Erlong can have these.”

Dalong happily took the orange.

Erju, with hands empty, smiled, “I don’t like them either, Erlong. You can have it.”

Wu Erlong shook his head, “Sis already gave me one. You should have it, Mom.”

“I don’t want it.”

Wu Erlong still refused.

“I want it.” Wu Dalong, ever the glutton, took the orange from Yan Erju and began to eat it hungrily.

Wu Yanyun reprimanded him, “You are such a glutton.”

During dinner, Wu Yanyun said, “Mom, our landlord came for the rent today.” _{freewёbnoνel.com}
