Chapter 38 Jiang Chen
For breakfast, they had sorghum rice porridge, steamed buns made from two grains of flour, and yesterday's leftover vegetables stewed with cabbage. The family finished their breakfast in a lively atmosphere. Luo Ya took on the job of washing the dishes and let the others go to work.

Luo Ya, Luo Bin and Luo Liang finished washing the dishes and cleaned the house.

"Aunt, let's go." Luo Bin urged Luo Ya and took two steamed buns made of flour and stuffed them into his bag.

"Aren't you full?" Luo Ya asked in confusion when she saw Luo Bin's actions. This kid had just eaten three bowls of porridge and two steamed buns as big as an adult man's fist.

"No, I brought it to Brother Jiang. He is the boss of our area and is in charge of several districts." Luo Bin replied.

Luo Ya: "…" To manage the big brothers in several districts, two steamed buns are enough? Even in the end times, it doesn't seem to be that valuable, right?
"Aunt, brother, I want to go too. If you don't let me go, I'll tell grandma when I come back." Seeing that the two men had no intention of taking him with them, Luo Liang stopped at the door frame.

"Believe it or not, we two will beat you up together. You just take good care of the house. When we come back, my aunt and I will bring you some delicious food." Luo Bin first raised his fist to threaten, but when he saw Luo Liang's eyes turned red, he hurried to coax him.

Luo Ya secretly rolled her eyes, said nothing, and just watched the fun from the side.

"I don't want to stay at home. I want to go with you." Luo Liang still refused.

Luo Bin secretly winked at Luo Ya, but he was more than a head shorter than Luo Ya, and Luo Ya didn't look at him, so she couldn't see his wink at all.

"Gu~" Finally, Luo Bin couldn't stand it anymore and looked at Luo Ya with accusations.

"Take Xiaoliang with you." Under the gaze of two pairs of clear eyes, Luo Ya immediately agreed.

"Aunt, we are going to do something important. Taking a child with us is no big deal." Luo Bin was not happy and stomped his feet angrily.

"Gu~" Luo Liang hugged Luo Ya's thighs, tears streaming down his face.

"Xiaobin, Xiaoliang is six years old already. He is no longer a three or four-year-old bed-wetting kid. Aren't we going to find Brother Jiang? It's okay to take Xiaoliang with us. Xiaoliang won't make trouble." Luo Ya discussed with Luo Bin in a low voice.

"Aunt, you have no principles." Luo Bin snorted angrily and went to get the padlock.

Luo Ya: "..."

"Let's go." Luo Ya secretly gave Luo Liang a wink.

Luo Liang wiped his tears with his sleeve, then held Luo Ya's hand with a smile on his face.

Luo Bin walked in front the whole time and refused to follow the two people behind.

"Xiaobin, how long will it take? I can't walk anymore." After walking for about ten minutes, Luo Ya deliberately called Luo Bin.

"I should have known not to bring you two along. It's such a hassle." Luo Bin sighed, then stopped and reached out to hold Luo Ya's hand.

Luo Ya: "..."

"Who is this Brother Jiang?" Luo Ya no longer had any expectations of Brother Jiang. She thought about taking the two little ones out to play today and then going to follow them herself tomorrow. She mainly wanted to know whose baby Liu Xiangmei was carrying.

That’s right, Luo Ya took Liu Xiangmei’s pulse in the morning and found that it was a slippery pulse, which had lasted for about a month and a half.

Luo Ya's immediate reaction was fury. Liu Xiangmei actually wanted her third brother to become a father.

Then he suppressed his inner anger. He couldn't make this matter known to anyone, because then no one would believe him and he would be easily blamed.

That's why I wanted to find Liu Xiangmei's strange man and make a big fuss about it.

Don't say anything to Luo Ya, it will damage Liu Xiangmei's reputation.

Liu Xiangmei had coaxed the little girl into going to the countryside for her, and now she wanted to marry the third brother with her belly, so that there would be no harm to the family. If she didn't take action, she would be sorry for this hard-won opportunity for rebirth.

"Aunt, I'm telling you in secret, don't tell anyone else." Luo Bin leaned close to Luo Ya and whispered.

Luo Ya immediately covered Luo Liang's ears.

Luo Bin: "..."

Luo Liang: "..."

"Brother Jiang's family background is not good. Both his parents are gone, leaving only him and his sister. Now the family property has been returned. Many people wanted to take his property, but he beat them all away. However, there are still many people who refuse to leave his house, and many of them were his former servants." Luo Bin whispered to Luo Ya.

Luo Ya: “…” People like this will most likely become famous figures. It seems that this kid really knows a capable person.

However, Luo Ya's idea disappeared without a trace when she saw Jiang Ge's residence.

This great man, Brother Jiang, actually lives in a waste recycling station, but the recycling station is kept very clean.

Luo Bin politely knocked on the wire gate that was visible to everyone, and shouted, "Brother Jiang, Niuniu."

Following Luo Bin's shout, a cheerful sound of footsteps was heard, and a very delicate little girl of three or four years old ran over. Although she was wearing a gray and worn cotton jacket, it was difficult to conceal the girl's color.

The little girl walked happily, but when she looked at the two people beside Luo Bin, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. She shrank back, with a hint of fear on her face.

He stood there with his legs stiff, turned his head and looked in the direction he came from as if asking for help.

"Niuniu, what's wrong? Isn't Luo Bin here?" A deep boy's voice sounded behind Niuniu.

Niu Niu immediately hid behind the boy, hugged his slender thighs, and secretly looked at Luo Ya and Luo Liang.

The boy's clothes were even more shabby than Niu Niu's. His cotton jacket was so worn out that the cotton that was exposed was all black. He didn't even have a pair of cotton shoes on his feet.

The boy locked his eyes on Luo Ya. "You must be Aunt Luo Bin, right? Come in." The boy's gaze moved from the two people's faces that were 30% similar to each other, to their held hands, and he stepped forward to open the bolt on the door.

Luo Ya then noticed that the boy's right leg was a little lame, but it was not very serious. The boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a handsome face and a hint of hostility between his brows.

"Didn't Luo Bin say that your family property has been returned to you?" Luo Ya looked around and asked softly.

I followed the young man into a small shack at the innermost part of the shack. There was a small stove in the shack and a broken wooden bed at the innermost part. The quilt on it was also very thin. There was a large teapot on the stove, and two black steamed buns were cooking in the teapot.

"That group of people refused to leave, and I can't get my house back. The government promised to compensate me with a job as a street sweeper. I can only go back to work after the Chinese New Year. They also promised to compensate me with a sum of money. I was afraid I couldn't keep it here, so I haven't gone to claim it yet." The boy did not hide it. He carried Niu Niu onto the stool, picked up the teacup, smashed the black steamed bread in it, blew on it, and fed it to Niu Niu.

"Brother Jiang, I brought you some steamed buns." Luo Bin hurriedly took out the steamed buns.

The boy did not answer but looked at Luo Ya.

"This is given to you by Luo Bin. You don't have to look at me." Luo Ya didn't look at Mantou.

"My name is Jiang Chen, and my sister is Jiang Xi." Jiang Chen took the steamed bun, poured the black steamed bun in the teacup into the bowl beside him, broke half of the steamed bun and put it in the teacup, poured some water and put it back on the stove.

Luo Ya nodded, then looked at Luo Bin.
