"Mother, are you awake?"

A child's voice suddenly came from outside the door, it sounded a little hoarse, and after recalling it carefully, this should be the voice of the fifth son, but to prevent herself from admitting her mistake, she still asked more.

"Is it a heavy five?"

Hearing his mother's voice, the child outside the door was obviously a little excited, and he hurriedly answered,

"Mother, it's me, Chongwu, can I come in?"

Seeing that it is your own child, how can there be no reason not to see it.

"It's Chongwu, come in."

After getting a response from his mother, Zhu Chongwu walked in with a broken bowl.

"Mother, I'll bring you porridge."

The so-called porridge is ten grains of rice, plus a big bowl of water, it is really clear to the bottom, not so much porridge, but a big bowl of water.

"Chongwu, where did this porridge come from?"

There is not a single grain of rice at home, and these children should not be able to make this so-called porridge.

"Mother, my brothers got it in exchange for working in the old house."

Hearing this answer, Ye Bing was stunned for a moment.

"What are they doing for the old house?"

Several elder brothers told him not to tell his mother about their work in the old house in exchange for food, but he had just been asked by his mother and blurted out, and now it was too late to regret it.

But seeing that his mother's face did not change, he cautiously explained that it was the people on the other side of the old mansion who openly said to the people in the village that as long as they helped the old mansion work, they would naturally not watch their own grandsons and nephews starve to death, no matter what, they were all the species of the old Zhu family.

A few children don't have an adult city government, and adults naturally believe it when they say it to the outside world, so they really go to help the old mansion to do all kinds of work.

On the first day, my grandmother and uncle also gave them a nest to eat in front of the villagers, although it was mixed with a lot of chaff, it was better than starvation, and they could save some for their mothers to eat.

But as time goes by, they work hard to carry water and firewood for the old house, etc., in exchange for less and less food, for example, now, a few grains of rice and a bowl of water are gone.

Is the conscience of these people eaten by dogs?

Obviously, they are all the grandsons of their old Zhu family, and they are still treated so differently, they are simply not human.

Wait, something doesn't seem right!

Why is it the Zhu family again?

Is it all a coincidence?

Zhu Chongwu's mother, who had been secretly observing, saw that she was not angry because they went to the old house to help, so she handed the bowl of porridge to her and said boldly.

"Mother, you haven't eaten for a day, and my brother asked me to personally supervise you to drink this bowl of porridge."

The child's mind Ye Bing couldn't bear to refuse, so he drank the bowl of water directly in front of him, it was really hard to drink, it was still bitter, as if he deliberately put something into it.

If the people in the old house bullied their orphans and widows first, they can't be blamed for being unjust.

"Chongwu, go, you call all your brothers and brothers back."

"Hmm."

Zhu Chongwu didn't ask his mother too much why she called her brother and brother back, but as long as her mother told her to do it, she hurriedly ran out of the inner room.

When the child left Ye Bing's gaze and returned to Ergouzi, she put the broken bowl on it and asked.

"What's the mission this time?"

Although it is a rough guess, it must be systematically confirmed before it can be put into action.
