Seeing his brother nod, Gu Xingyu reluctantly got out of bed.

In his heart, his brother was very smart but just didn't like to talk. Countless times when this bad woman tormented him, it was his brother who silently protected him.

Even the night before last, when my brother was punished by that wicked woman to stand, it was because he was so hungry that he couldn't resist and ate a bite of that wicked woman's food.

His older brother was second only to his father in importance to him.

So, if his brother is going back to that den of scoundrels, then he must go back with him to protect his brother.

Shen Lu watched as the weak Gu Xingze slowly got out of bed and went to help him.

But the moment she touched Gu Xingze's shoulder, she felt a stiffness in her hand.

Shen Lu looked at Gu Xingze, whose large eyes bulged out due to his extreme thinness, and were filled with terror.

It was just a simple action, but the two children reacted like threatened animals, their fur standing on end.

Shen Lu knew that all of this was because the original owner of the body constantly beat and scolded the two little ones, causing them deep trauma.

This shadow couldn't be dispelled in a short time, so Shen Lu had no choice but to withdraw her hand.

After completing the discharge procedures, Shen Lu passed by the nurses' station and thanked the nurse who had brought the little guy porridge.

The nurse couldn't help but remind Shen Lu.

"The two children are somewhat malnourished. When we get back, we'll give them more supplements, otherwise it will affect their growth."

Shen Lu immediately took this seriously upon hearing it.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Lu led the two of them not directly home, but instead headed in the opposite direction from home.

Gu Xingze and Gu Xingyu held hands, maintaining a certain distance from Shen Lu at all times.

Gu Xingyu looked at his brother with some unease, wondering where this wicked woman would take them.

Gu Xingze was also a little nervous, holding his younger brother's hand tightly, ready to run away with him at any time.

Just as the two brothers were about to sneak away, they saw Shen Lu walk straight into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Seeing the two children standing there in a daze, Shen Lu waved to them, and the two little ones walked into the supply and marketing cooperative with extremely unnatural movements.

"Come on, follow me."

The nurse was right. The two children are at a crucial stage of growth, and if they don't get enough nutrition, it will significantly affect their future height.

Shen Lu bought a can of malted milk powder at the supply and marketing cooperative, and exchanged some pork, eggs and wheat flour with coupons.

The child's clothes were dirty and didn't fit properly.

Shen Lu then asked the sales clerk to get a set of clothes for each of the two children.

Shen Lu held up the clothes and compared them on the two little ones, asking for their opinions.

"Do you like this outfit?"

The two children pursed their lips tightly, remaining silent, their expressions a mixture of anticipation and unease.

The two little ones looked at each other and understood the question in each other's eyes.

Why is this woman suddenly being so nice to them? Is it like what the aunt said, that she wants to sell them?

Shen Lu, unaware of what the two children were thinking, bought two pieces of clothing without hesitation.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, it was noon, and the sun was high in the sky.

Shen Lu carried her things and slowly walked home.

The body was too fat, making walking very heavy, and Shen Lu was soon covered in sweat.

Because she had two children with her, Shen Lu didn't buy much. As she walked, she kept thinking about what else she might need at home, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized she needed more.

I can only come back to buy more when I have time later.

Gu Xiao sent 100 yuan every month, and the original owner squandered almost all of it except for giving 60 yuan to her mother-in-law.

Gu's mother should send money over today. After she has settled everything, she will also look for a job to earn money.

Shen Lu believes in the concept that money is not saved, but earned.

She has a long future ahead of her and is confident that she can earn a lot of money and keep her household in perfect order.

I arrived home quickly.

Shen Lu put down her things, opened the door, and then carried them inside.

The two children looked at the familiar gate with a sense of resistance.

The two children were very clean, and living in a smelly room every day was a constant torment for them.

The two of them made sure they were mentally prepared before entering the room.

When the twins entered the house, what greeted their eyes was not the house that looked like a garbage dump.

The entire room was completely transformed. Gu Xingze even glanced outside the house, thinking he was hallucinating and had gone to the wrong place.

"Are you hungry? I'll go cook for you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingze took a step back and assumed a defensive stance.

Once upon a time, this wicked woman would cook for them. Young Gu Xingze once thought that their mother was going to change her mind and that he and his brother would have a mother as gentle as everyone else.

As a result, this wicked woman put a sleeping drug into the undercooked porridge, hoping to make them both fall asleep so she could sneak away.

As a result, the two brothers were ridiculed by the other children in the compound for a long time. After they got into a fight with the other children, they never played with them again.

From then on, Gu Xingze never trusted Shen Lu's cooking again.

During the two weeks that Gu Xiao was away, the twins either ate at the neighbor's house or ate the steamed buns and pickled vegetables that Gu Xiao bought for them.

Gu Xingze immediately bristled like a hedgehog with its feathers standing on end, wondering what that wicked woman was up to now.

"You wicked woman, I'd rather starve to death or jump off this cliff than eat a single bite of your food!"

"..."

Shen Lu, who had traveled from the future, felt that the sentence sounded extremely familiar.

Shen Lu ignored the two children and went to the kitchen to cook, while giving instructions to Gu Xingze.

"Xiao Yu, take your younger brother to the bathroom, give him a shower, and then change into new clothes. You'll be ready to cook dinner when you come out."

In the hot summer, she lost her appetite, so she prepared to make some refreshing and delicious cold dishes and some steamed buns, so that she could have both lunch and dinner.

While cooking, Shen Lu boiled a kettle of water and made a cup of malted milk powder for each of the two little ones.

When the two of them came out of the shower, the malted milk powder had cooled to just the right temperature.

"Have a drink to tide you over, the steamed buns will be ready soon."

The two brothers, who had been starving for a long time, were drooling from the sweet aroma.

After saying this, Shen Lu turned and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Looking at Shen Lu's large body, Gu Xingyu felt a sense of unease.

"Brother, do you think this wicked woman is planning to betray us?"

Their aunt often told them that this wicked woman wanted to sell them off so they would never see their father again.

They bathe them and buy them new clothes so that they look clean and tidy, thus fetching a better price.

As for tidying up the room, it was to mislead them and make them lower their guard, so the food must have contained sleeping pills!

Gu Xingyu quickly pieced together the whole story in his mind.

Just as he was frowning and deep in thought, a rich aroma of meat wafted into his nostrils.

Gu Xingyu instantly lost all reason and involuntarily widened his eyes.

Really fragrant!
