Chapter 208
Aunt Zong brought the two children to Ruan He. She really felt pity for them. She gently touched the heads of the two children and said, "These two children are so pitiful. They can't even eat enough to look like this. When I went out just now, When I met them, they were squatting at the foot of the mountain digging tree roots to eat!"

Mrs. Mutai also happened to come out. Seeing that the two children were so skinny and sallow, she felt heartbroken. After all, they were the children of their Mu family. She was not a cruel person. She couldn't help but shed tears of distress and hurriedly came up.

These two half-grown children had to be so hungry that they would run out without saying a word and go to the foot of the mountain to dig tree roots to eat.

Sigh... I don't know why Cui'er treats these two children so harshly, even if...

Mrs. Mutai's thoughts turned around, her eyes fell on the two children who were trembling with hunger, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"Poor child, come and eat, eat some dried meat to fill your stomach first!" Mrs. Mutai coaxed kindly, took out the dried meat originally reserved for Panda from her arms, and gave it to Panda one by one. These two children.

To them, this dried meat is just a snack, but to these two children, it may be the only thing they have eaten all day long.

"Thank you...Thank you, Mrs. Mutai..." The two children were so hungry that their voices were low, but they thanked politely, and then reached out to take the meat from Mrs. Mutai's hand. It can be seen that the third lady's usual upbringing is sufficient.

"Gudong." It was the sound of swallowing due to hunger. After the two children took the meat, they hurriedly stuffed it into their mouths. The hasty movements showed that they were hungry.

They had been hungry for a long time, and this small amount of dried meat was not enough to eat. They ate everything in three or two mouthfuls. They also wiped their mouths and licked the meaty taste from their fingertips, which made them feel miserable.

Ruan He quietly took out two steamed buns from the space, pretending to take them out from his arms, handed them to the two children, and casually made up a reason: "I bought them when I went to the county town. If you think it's too hard, you haven't had time to eat it yet. If you're really hungry, just eat it first."

The steamed bun was actually not that hard. When it fell into the hands of the two children, they immediately started to wolf down it, swallowing it in three mouthfuls. It didn't take long before they finished eating it.

Seeing the two children standing aside quietly and obediently, and not making any noise after eating the steamed buns in their hands, Mrs. Mutai said with distress again: "The father of these two children is probably busy building a house. , I don’t have time to take care of them, Tweety…Tweety probably doesn’t have much time to take care of these two children, they are poor children.”

Their homestead was much larger, and with the help of a group of officials, they finally managed to build it almost the same. The homestead over the second bedroom was very narrow, and the progress was almost the same as this one.

Aunt Zong also had a little daughter, so she naturally felt sorry for these two motherless children. She looked at Mrs. Mutai and asked, "Mrs. Tai, do you want to call the third master over?"

"No, I'm going to talk to him properly when he comes to find the child." Mrs. Mu said angrily when she thought that the two children were so hungry that they were chewing tree roots. This must be due to Mu Zhengyuan's poor supervision.

At nightfall, Mu Zhengyuan came here to look for the children. Ruan He was pouring a small bowl of brown rice for each of the two children to fill their stomachs.

Mrs. Mu Tai was sitting on the main seat, teasing a few children with a kind smile on her face. When she looked up, her face suddenly darkened when she saw Mu Zhengyuan walking in nervously.

Mu Zhengyuan could vaguely guess why Mrs. Tai was angry, so he could only call out respectfully: "Mrs. Tai..."

Mrs. Mutai stared at him angrily, patted the two frightened children reassuringly, and said coldly: "You didn't know how to come here to look for her so late? You're not afraid of losing your children?!" "Dad..." Then A pair of twins timidly stepped forward, leaned close to Mu Zhengyuan, and said in unison in a particularly obedient and sensible manner: "Madam, don't blame our dad, dad has to work."

The two children were so protective of their father. Mrs. Mutai was helpless and could not say anything harsh, so she had to wave to Mu Zhengyuan to take the two children back.

Mu Zhengyuan thanked Mrs. Mutai for taking in the two children, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Mrs. Mutai suddenly called out to him.

"and many more."

Mu Zhengyuan stopped, turned around hesitantly, looked at Mrs. Mu, and respectfully replied: "Mrs. Mrs.?"

Thinking of some things that Mu Zhengyuan didn't know much about, Mrs. Mu Tai sighed and couldn't name them directly.

"These two children have lost their mother. You should pay more attention to the children... When Aunt Zong found them, they were so hungry that they were still chewing tree roots."

There were some things that she couldn't say clearly. After all, even as a dowager, she couldn't get involved in the affairs of the second wife.

Mu Zhengyuan didn't seem to know at all that the two children couldn't even eat. He was stunned for a moment in surprise, and then solemnly nodded and agreed.

He held his twins on the left and right, and walked outside the house. He didn't ask the children to ask whether they had enough to eat, and went straight home with the children.

Aunt Cui was eating with her eldest son and daughter-in-law. When she heard the movement coming in from outside, she subconsciously looked up.

Seeing that it was Mu Zhengyuan and his pair of twins, Aunt Cui immediately looked away as if she had lost interest, and picked up her meal as if she was ignoring them.

She called Mu Zhengyuan back from Mrs. Mu Tai just because she wanted him to come back and help build the house. As for other things, she naturally didn't care at all, including the two white-eyed wolf-like children.

Mu Zhengyuan, who was already suppressing a sigh of depression, noticed Aunt Cui's dismissive and neglectful attitude, and his heart pounded even more. Rarely, he raised his voice and shouted angrily: "Mom! Where are you going this afternoon? Already?"

After being yelled at so innocently by him, Aunt Cui became angry. She threw the chopsticks in her hand heavily on the table, raised her head suddenly and looked over, and asked ferociously: "Look at your attitude! What's this? The way you talk to your mother!?"

Mu Zhengyuan pulled the two frightened children behind him, then looked at Aunt Cui forcefully, and asked in a stiff tone: "Where did you go this afternoon? Do you know where the two children went?"

It was clear...it was clear that my mother had promised that as long as he worked hard, she would take good care of the two children for her. Unexpectedly, after these few days, the two children were so hungry that they were chewing tree roots...
