During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

After he finished speaking, the sound of slurping food filled the courtyard again.

Seeing the eldest sister-in-law of the Ye family and a little girl feeding their parents, the three brothers also started stuffing their mouths full.

I hadn't seen any real food for three or four days. My eyes were practically glowing with hunger, and my head was spinning. My legs felt like they were stepping on cotton.

It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my stomach, and my internal organs were all tangled up, making it hard to breathe.

Unexpectedly, a living bodhisattva came today and treated them to a meal!

The large bowl was brimming with sauerkraut stewed with pork, and there was even meat in it!

These days, there are plenty of people who can't afford to eat, yet this family has meat stewing in their pot?

The moment the half-fat, half-lean pork slices entered their mouths, followed by a bite of a steamed flatbread made from a mixture of grains and wheat flour, the three brothers were completely dazed...

Did I meet a living Buddha today?

Seeing the three brothers finish the food in the large bowl in just a few bites, and still not satisfied, they picked up the bowl and licked it haphazardly, then pinched the crumbs of bread on their legs and put them in their mouths, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but frown.

My sister-in-law is so stingy. There are still six or seven big white steamed buns left on the stove. Why give her some coarse grain and white flour pancakes instead?

"Cui Cui, bring the steamed buns from the stove, and scoop out all the leftover vegetables from the pot."

Ye Qingqing turned her head and called out, saying calmly, "Eat slowly, the food is all you can eat."

Li Chunyan, who was feeding the old woman some steamed flatbread, clicked her tongue.

"Huh?... "

You're giving beggars big white steamed buns, you spendthrift girl!

Those three brothers were starving like wolves; how many big white steamed buns would be enough for them to eat?

"They're here."

Ye Cuicui carried the remaining six white steamed buns, grabbed five or six flatbreads that were baking on the stove, and brought over a half-bowl of vegetables scraped from the bottom of the pot. "Second sister, this is all that's left, is it alright..."

Li Chunyan felt so sorry for her.

"How much is too much? We didn't make much for lunch, so let's just make do with this."

Upon seeing the large, white steamed buns, the three brothers' eyes lit up like light bulbs, and they kept swallowing their saliva, staring at Ye Qingqing in disbelief.

"Girl, is this really for us to eat?"

"How long has it been since we've seen this big steamed bun? We can't even remember what it tastes like!"

"Girl, we've got something to eat, that's enough. How about we get some flatbread instead? That way we can eat more..."

……

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why bother with pancakes? We have plenty of steamed buns too, eat up."

Zhao Laosan stared intently at the pancake, swallowing hard and looking embarrassed.

"Six steamed buns aren't enough for you! I can eat four or five by myself, and my older brothers eat even more..."

"fart!"

Zhao Lao Er spat, quickly gave him a wink, and gave an awkward laugh, saying...

"Girl, don't listen to Lao San's nonsense. The three of us were just too hungry. Actually, we can't eat much. At most, we can only eat three... no, two steamed buns per meal."

The eldest brother is simple-minded, the second brother is shrewd. Zhao Lao Er is afraid that the host family will think the brothers eat too much and refuse to take them in.

Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow. "Stop talking nonsense. I said there's plenty, so eat as much as you want."

"You need to eat well to have energy. From now on, the job of guarding the house will be handled by these three young men!"

"girl!"

Boss Zhao jumped to his feet, patting his chest repeatedly.

"The three of us brothers have been training in martial arts with our master since we were kids. We used to be bodyguards, so protecting the house is our specialty. You can rest assured!"

The two brothers stood up in unison, shouting, "As long as the girl gives us food, we'd be willing to risk our lives for her, even if it's just coarse grain porridge, let alone a big white steamed bun!"

"Yes, whoever gives us food, we'll risk our lives for them!"

Ye Qingqing waved her hand and asked with a hint of curiosity,

"You used to be bodyguards? How did you end up like this?"

"Don't even mention it."

Zhao Lao Er's excited face immediately fell, and he said helplessly, "A few months ago, we were escorting goods with our master when we were robbed by a group of thieves. Our master was stabbed in the chest and has been coughing up blood every day."

The three of us brothers learned martial arts from our master since we were little, and we treated him like our own father. So we pooled our money to treat his illness…”

At this point, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he choked up.

"Who knew we still couldn't save our master's life... We lost a bunch of bodyguards and couldn't continue our business. Before we could even earn enough money to support our parents, we started having a food shortage!"

Let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, the three of us brothers have done our filial duty, and we have a clear conscience.

Ye Qingqing was a little surprised.

These three brothers are kind, righteous, and honest!

A person who can spend all their savings to treat their master's illness can't be that bad at heart; they're perfect for guarding her house!

"I admire you for that thoughtfulness alone."

Ye Qingqing gestured with her chin towards the three of them, "Eat."

The three brothers glanced at her gratefully, sat down, grabbed a large steamed bun, covered their mouths, and took a big bite. Half of the palm-sized bun was gone in an instant.

The three brothers ate the remaining half bowl clean, each taking a bite with their chopsticks without making a note of it.

He ate the first steamed bun, then grabbed another one and ate it dry, choking so badly that he straightened his neck and rolled his eyes but refused to spit it out.

Watching them eat is so tempting, it's even more exciting than a mukbang live stream!

Ye Qingqing watched with great interest, her legs crossed.

Li Chunyan's temples throbbed as she watched... Damn, how much can she eat!

Having three sons at once, who could afford to raise them without a fortune?

Despite her stinginess, she couldn't resist her soft heart. She got up, scooped a handful of pickled cabbage from the vat, washed it clean, chopped it a couple of times, and served it to her three brothers.

"Eat slowly with the food... no one's going to take it from you!"

In the time it takes Ye Youliang to finish a bag of salt, six large white steamed buns and several flatbreads were all gone from the stomachs of the three brothers. They ate until they were holding their lower backs and burping repeatedly.

"I'm full... Finally, I've had a damn good meal!"

"Four days, four days... Boss, we can finally have a decent meal!"

"Big brother, second brother, these big white steamed buns are so delicious... Waaah..."

……

"Eldest brother, second brother...aren't you going to kowtow to your benefactor?"

After eating a bowl of hot soup, the elderly couple recovered and struggled to wave to the three brothers.

"Kneel down! Kneel before your benefactor! A meal saved our family's lives. From now on, the lives of you three brothers belong to our master!"

Before she could finish speaking, the three brothers knelt down at Ye Qingqing's feet with a thud, kowtowing without a word.

"Master, my father said that from now on, the lives of the three of us brothers belong to you!"

"We'll do whatever you tell us to do!"

"Anyone who dares to steal our master's grain, we'll chop the three of us down with a knife first!"

Ye Qingqing was not used to being knelt to, and was startled.

"Alright, alright, I just hired you to guard the house, why would I want your lives? Stand up and speak."

As you can see from my family's situation, we have nowhere to live, but I will find you a place to stay in the village. As for wages..."
