Chapter 4 The Great Shame

Chen Yuanyuan held the silver tremblingly, feeling a mouthful of old blood in her chest, unable to go up or down.

Chen Yunsheng was very young, so he stood up excitedly without realizing it.

He said happily, "Sister, we are rich now!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yuanyuan stared back fiercely!

She stood up staggeringly, feeling depressed and angry, and suddenly threw out the broken silver in her hand.

This is simply a great shame for her!
She was ashamed and annoyed, her fingers trembling: "I, Chen Yuanyuan, don't need others to give me alms!"

The sound is so loud that it can't help but attract people's attention.

The discarded pieces of silver "Teng Teng Teng" rolled all the way to the corner, and were suddenly picked up by a pair of hands.

The young man who picked up the money chuckled and put the money in his arms.

The boy was only sixteen or seventeen, his appearance was sloppy, his clothes were tattered, his peach blossom eyes looked pretty when he smiled.

He looked at Chen Yuanyuan like a fool: "You don't want it, but it's all mine!"

"Pi Hou, return the money to us!"

Chen Yunsheng was angry and nervous, the little man had just rushed forward, but backed up a few steps in fear.

How did they meet the leather monkey?

Pi Hou is a well-known ruffian in the south of the city, he spends his days idle, cheating, and bullying people.

Chen Yuanyuan protected Chen Yunsheng behind her back with one hand, swept the little ruffian-like monkey up and down fiercely, suddenly sneered and poohed, turned around and walked away proudly like a peacock.

Pihou looked bewildered and shrugged his shoulders: "It's really strange that there are still people who are angry with money in this world!"

***
The one big and one small who came out with great interest ended up in disgrace.

Back home, Chen Yuanyuan was still aggrieved by what happened just now!

She felt so humiliated that she even forgot to put away the dishes, and now she was even less in the mood to cook.

She really couldn't figure it out, how did she look like a beggar?

At this moment, Tong Shi also took Chen Qingqing back home.

The old and the young seem to be in a good mood, carrying a basket of leftover fabrics and stepping over the threshold.

Chen Yuanyuan took a casual glance, and suddenly found the rags in the basket. The color and material seemed... very similar to the cloth shoes she was wearing?
Seeing her staring blankly at the rag hair, Chen Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled.

"Today, my grandma and I begged for a lot of rags from the owner. It's a pity to lose them. Why don't we use them to cover shoe soles and mend clothes? It can save a lot of money."

"..."

At the end of the sentence, Chen Yuanyuan's bright eyes narrowed into a line—a rag that was begged or thrown away?
Her expression was complicated, she lowered her head and stared at the shoes on her feet in resistance and distaste.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

Chen Yunsheng hurriedly went to open the door, and was very surprised to see his parents who had left work early.Seeing that the father and mother were each carrying a large basket covered with cloth, they couldn't help being curious.

"Father and mother, you came back early today."

Father Chen laughed and said, "Let's eat something good today!"

Saying that, the couple smiled mysteriously, and went into the kitchen happily again.

Chen Yuanyuan had a depressed face, and walked outside for a long time. At this moment, she was already hungry and panicked, but when she suddenly smelled a scent, she became even hungrier.

She couldn't help wondering, what was in the basket?
About two quarters of an hour later, the husband and wife came up with plates of food, and the aroma was already overflowing before the table was served.Just by smelling it, Chen Yuanyuan's appetite was whetted and her eyes sparkled.

Today's meal is full of color, fragrance, and taste, and it is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it!

Even though Chen Yuanyuan was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, she still couldn't help but sigh, today's dishes are good.

"You three dolls, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and eat."

As Chen's mother said, she served another cup of soup.

With just one glance, Chen Yuanyuan knew that this was a high-quality bird's nest, absolutely nourishing and beautifying!
She was a little surprised, knowing that she was still eating bibimbap with soy sauce yesterday, how could she be eating delicious food today?
Chen's mother was so happy that she gave everyone a big bowl of rice, which was a rare luxury in the past.

"Today, let's have a good time."

Chen Yuanyuan swallowed her saliva, depressed for a whole day, only delicious food can relieve her sorrow!
She immediately picked up a piece of sweet and sour carp with her chopsticks. The fish meat was bright in color and the soup was thick.

She nodded happily, smiling all over her face, and couldn't stop smacking her small mouth.

However, at this moment, she suddenly discovered that the back of the fish was actually empty!
Surprised, she turned over the fish with her chopsticks, and as expected, the back of the fish had already been eaten!
Why is there only half of the fish left on the table?
Chen Yuanyuan was baffled, remembering how Chen's father and Chen's mother had only been in the kitchen for a quarter of an hour, how could they cook so many delicious dishes, and they didn't even have all the seasonings at home!
She scanned the dishes on the table, only to see that each dish was either too small or missing a corner for no reason, and suddenly remembered that her parents were doing odd jobs in a restaurant.

This... This, is this all leftovers?

Thinking of the fish she ate just now, Chen Yuanyuan felt that her internal organs began to churn, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled uncontrollably, and she stared at the food as if she had seen a ghost.

"Where did all, all, come from?"

The girl stammered and frowned.

Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't know how to answer for a while, they just listened to the girl continue to question.

"Is it the leftovers from the restaurant, the unwanted leftovers?"

If no one responds, it is equivalent to the default!
Her complexion suddenly changed, her brows were tightly furrowed, her face was full of anger and depression, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

She bit her lower lip, turned around and left in a moment of despondency.

Behind her was still the voice of Chen's father and Chen's mother: "Big girl, you are eating!"

"Don't eat!"

She let out an annoyed shout, and suffocated back into the room.

Nai He nestled in the room, full of irritability.

Thinking that there are strangers mixed in the fish, maybe the saliva of some greasy uncle, the stomach is overwhelmed, and two fingers stick into the throat without saying a word, trying to pull out all the fish that I just ate!
She, Chen Yuanyuan, when will she be reduced to eating other people's leftovers!
After a while of dry vomiting, she felt even more uncomfortable all over her body, and there seemed to be a burning fire in her heart that could not be dispelled.

She frowned, strode out to the courtyard, glanced at everyone's enjoyment from the corner of her eye, and took a deep breath.

In a blink of an eye, he climbed up the long ladder and onto the roof!
She looked straight up at the night sky, and the breeze blew to soothe the dryness of early autumn.

Seeing her like this, the parents below couldn't help shouting.

"What are you doing up there, hurry down and eat!"

"Don't eat!"

"Hey! Are you disgusted?"

"..."

Seeing that the eldest daughter didn't answer, Chen Zhengping was immediately angry and bitter: "Smelly girl, do you know how expensive the dishes on this table are? I'm afraid your father's ten-year wages can't afford it! It's fine if you don't cherish it, but It was your mother who asked the shopkeeper to come here with great difficulty, just to make up for you!"

Thinking of being treated as a beggar only in the afternoon, Chen Yuanyuan was furious.
