C5 Sis I'm Not Hungry

The next day, Mu Nanzhi woke up abnormally early. It was unknown if it was because she wasn't used to sleeping, or for some other reason.

She quietly got off the bed before dawn.

However, she didn't expect someone to wake up earlier than her. When he walked out of the door, he saw Mu Beiwang already standing in the yard with a basket on his shoulder as if he was about to go out.

"Wang Wang, where are you going?"

"Sister!" Why are you up so early? "The morning chill is heavy, quickly go back and sleep, sister." Mu Beiwang didn't expect Mu Nanzhi to get up so early. He didn't want his sister to know what he was going to do, so he was a bit panicked.

Mu Nanzhi saw him change the topic but didn't answer. "Where are you going so early in the morning with the basket on your back?"

In fact, she could more or less guess.

The basket was covered in black mud and some crushed stones, which made Mu Nanzhi think of a place.

However, Mu Beiwang didn't seem to want to tell the truth. He looked Mu Nanzhi in the eye and said, "I want to go back to the forest and pick some mushrooms while it's still early in the morning."

Mu Nanzhi acted as if she did not hear his words and asked again, "Are there any mines in the village? You're going to work, right? "

"I... "I …" Mu Beiwang didn't expect his sister to see through him with just a glance and didn't know what to say.

Although A'jie was already well, she was still just a girl like them.

However, he was only 12 years old; what could he do to support his family? He was the only male in the family, so he naturally had to shoulder the burden of supporting his family.

There was a new mine in the village, and every family had a man who could go there and earn ten cents a day.

Originally, he couldn't go with just kid. However, Village Head couldn't refuse him as it was too difficult for him and his family, so he let it go.

Five cents a day to keep him at his heels.

Mu Beiwang lowered his head and hesitated. Mu Nanzhi sighed.

How could she not know Mu Beiwang's thoughts? She also knew what her home was like.

She didn't have any gold fingers, and she couldn't produce any gold or silver treasures in a short period of time.

Although what she said last night was sincere, it was all empty now.

However … She really couldn't get an eleven-year-old child to mine to support her family. But she also knew that if she didn't let Mu Beiwang go, he wouldn't either.

Hey! It seemed like finding a way to earn money was extremely urgent.

Mu Nanzhi walked up and took the burden off Mu Beiwang's shoulders. He brushed off the dust on his shoulder and said, "Even if you want to go, you should at least have breakfast first. Otherwise, how are you going to work when you're hungry? Don't you think so?

"Sister, I'm not hungry. I was full yesterday!" It's true! "

"If you don't eat, I won't allow you to go!"

Mu Nanzhi made a face, pretending to be angry. Mu Beiwang saw that Mu Nanzhi was really stubborn, so he agreed and went to help Mu Nanzhi light the fire.

Mu Nanzhi added a few spoonfuls of water from last night's marinade, sprinkled a handful of brown rice, stewed a pot of porridge, and served a big bowl to Mu Beiwang before letting him go.

After sending Mu Beiwang off, Mu Nanzhi took the small bowl and filled it with half a bowl of soup. She began to eat while thinking about how to manage the house.

To be honest, this family was truly poor.

She had already looked through it carefully yesterday, but there was no oil, salt, and vinegar at all. Except for a small bag of brown rice and half a bag of sweet potatoes.

There was still a small bag of white flour, but it had changed for the original owner's coma. It was because of this small bag of white flour that Madame Liu had come to visit him.

As for money, it didn't even exist.
