Evil will not deceive you

Two pebble-sized potatoes were cooked in the sand, and the two brothers quickly savored the taste.

The taste of potatoes is very wonderful, and the sweet taste makes them both want to stop eating, especially when their stomachs are empty.

While the younger brother was eating, he immediately looked at his older brother happily because he drank two more sips of cold water.

"Brother! Drink more cold water before eating! You will feel full easily!"

He shouted excitedly. His brother was a little skeptical, but after taking a sip of water, he immediately nodded happily.

"indeed!"

He could feel that his stomach trembled when the cold water went in, but when he took a bite of the hot potatoes, he immediately felt something else, and a very comfortable feeling suddenly came over his heart.

Especially when that feeling of fullness hit him, he felt like he was about to jump for joy.

"Really! You finally didn't lie to me!"

The elder brother happily patted his younger brother, but immediately, their expressions changed because they saw their mother.

The next moment, the expressions of both people changed.

And their mother looked at the fire in front of them, without saying anything, directly threw the wild vegetables and bark in her hands to the ground, and then quickly ran towards the cellar.

The two brothers quickly followed, and the elder brother carefully put away the wild vegetables and peeled bark to prevent anyone from taking away their belongings.

Their mother quickly came to the cellar door. Seeing the clumsy disguises of her sons, she felt angry at being deceived. When she opened the cellar door and saw the potato bag that had obviously been manipulated, she felt... I know that the two brothers ate it secretly.

Her anger immediately rose from her chest and abdomen, and hit her brain. She wanted to scold her two children and tell them that what they did was too much. If they could not eat according to the quota, then They will starve to death before their father comes back!

They will die!

Why don't they understand?

I was hungry and saved rations for them. Is this how they repay me? ! Let your calculations go wrong and their family might starve to death? !

Is this how they treat their mothers?

Can't they be more considerate of themselves? !

The angry mother tried to stand up, but was too weak and collapsed to the ground.

After sitting on the ground, the mother couldn't help but think of her own childhood.

She was the smartest child when she was a child. When did she fall down like this? ! She even almost became a ballet dancer!

She couldn't help but think about the life that the orcs never had.

So, when the two brothers saw their mother, what they saw was not an angry mother, but a mother leaning on the cellar door, silently wiping her tears.

The two brothers immediately looked at each other. They didn't know what they were saying and why their mother was crying. Based on their world view, they could only think that their stealing food made their mother sad because there was so little food now.

So they walked up to their mother carefully and lowered their heads timidly.

"Sorry, mother, I was too hungry, that's why I stole it. My brother just followed me to eat..."

The elder brother stood up first. The younger brother wanted to speak, but he covered his mouth.

When their mother looked at them, she felt even more sad, angry and aggrieved. She didn't understand why, why their family had to be treated like this.

Her child is obedient and sensible. Although he is a bit greedy, what child is not greedy? This is not a mistake at all. Even if it is eaten secretly, it is not a mistake for any parent.

But why is it wrong in their family and among other families in this village?

She raised her head in confusion. She felt that this should be the result of not working hard enough, because in their family, she was the one working with the children while her husband went out to work.

If she could weave more cloth and grow more vegetables besides farming.

If my husband could do more jobs, would his family be able to live a happy life?

But, am I really still capable of doing it?

She looked at her room in confusion. There were piles of silk threads in there, which she had gotten for weaving. However, this year, a large number of cheap fabrics kept appearing in various towns, and they were cheaper than the fabrics she weaved. It needs to be more delicate and beautiful, and the quality is also better.

As a direct result, she who was originally able to get one or two gold coins may even lose money this year. Even if she sells the current silk threads, she may lose less.

She didn't understand why, why that person named Li Ke was selling so much cheap cloth, and she didn't understand why she still couldn't feed her children despite working so hard, and let them eat two of them secretly. The pebble-sized potatoes were so frightened that they were about to cry, even at a loss.

And his first reaction was to reprimand them and curse them.

Why? why is that?

The apologies of the two brothers continued to become hazy in the ears of the grieving mother, but she knew that she had to stand up and cook for the two brothers.

Because she cannot die yet, she still has children, a husband who loves her and is willing to work every day for her.

She can't die yet.

"Hel me up."

Giving orders to the two brothers, she reluctantly tried to stand up, but at this moment, a concave and convex figure appeared in front of her. The beautiful and plump figure looked like a member of a noble family, and in the sunshine Under the illumination, the poor mother could only see a dark face, bright sunlight shining from behind.

And a cold but pleasant voice.

"It seems that your family's situation is not very good, but it doesn't matter. My master has sent you food. Thank him for this."

food?

The woman instantly recalled the food that was brought to her last time by some other cold-faced people. She raised her head in shock. She didn't know where the strength came from, and she stood up directly. With expectation and fear, she looked at the people in front of her. woman.

"...Really, really?"

Sironas raised her head proudly, looking at this woman who saw hope in despair, and couldn't help but smile.

Because she could see this woman's desperate look afterwards.

"Of course, and my master has ordered it, a family like yours can even get some bacon."

She turned around and showed the grain brought in by the sturdy soldiers, as well as a large piece of bacon.

The woman was stunned, hope appeared on her face, but——

This hope was extinguished in the evening.

"You stole things, and you stole things from the lord. You stole things from the lord, do you understand?"

The arrogant noble wore armor and rode on a tall horse. He looked at the gathered villagers and sneered.

"Hand it over or die."
