The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1358 - 1371: Elder Sister as Mother (15)

Don’t worry, feel free to trample on me... as long as there’s meat to eat.

At this everyone’s eyes turned red and sore, their envy and jealousy were about to materialize into resentment.

The eyes of Su Qing and the others were about to turn red.

Su Mo, with her fiery temper, couldn’t help but point at the kids in the room and loudly question Su Li, "You disregard us, yet you aid these little beggars?"

Su Mo was filled with grievance, feeling a rage as if candy rightfully hers was snatched away.

Su Qing also spoke with a stern face, "Big sister, it’s your stuff, and it’s your freedom to give it to whomever you wish... but you’d rather give it to some outsiders who have no relation to us, and not leave a bit for us, you... you are this heartless?"

Su Qing spoke with bitter regret, staring intently at the now-clean clay pot.

Indeed, not even a bit of meat or soup was left.

Su Li sneered, glancing around outside, her gaze lingering on the anxious little faces of Yuan Qi and the others for a few seconds.

She quickly replied, "It’s not like they’re eating my food for free... are your eyes just for show? Haven’t you noticed they’re working for me?"

Such perceptive little ones, without needing training they immediately spring into action, always doing things before she even speaks.

They work tirelessly and selflessly, as long as they get something to eat, they’re satisfied... and often reflect on whether they’re doing well enough.

The most crucial thing is, these little ones have grateful hearts.

Su Qing: "We can do those things as well."

Su Li: "No, you cannot."

He must have forgotten, previously just assigning them a bit of work had them full of complaints and resentments, as if others owed them something.

Though it is said the eldest sister is like a mother, a sister is not truly a mother after all.

Even if it was the original owner, if she wished, she need not have responsibility for her younger siblings.

If she was willing, it was her benevolence. Now Su Li is unwilling, and it’s also her freedom.

If they have anyone to blame, it can only be their own unfortunate fates... who made heaven grant them such troubled lives?

Su Li coldly glanced over, "What, dissatisfied?"

"Then come and massage my feet, I went into the mountains early this morning, my feet are sore from walking..."

Hearing this, Yuan Le pitifully raised his head, saying, "Sister Su, am I not massaging well enough?"

Yuan Le said full of self-blame, "It’s my fault, I’m too weak... too useless." His words even carried a tinge of crying.

Su Qing stood there without speaking for a long time, his eyes staring blankly.

The villager standing closest to him nudged Su Qing’s back with an elbow, quietly reminding him, "Hurry up."

In the villagers’ minds, just massaging feet to get to eat meat was a huge bargain indeed.

Not to mention the person was Su Qing’s biological sister, as a brother showing care for his sister, there’s nothing wrong with that. Even if the other party were an enemy, as long as there was meat to eat, everything was negotiable.

This is the extent of their low principles.

All problems could be solved with a meal of meat.

Oh, you say a meal of meat is too extravagant? A bit of meat scraps will do, otherwise a bowl of meat soup... they would also be accepting of that.

But the villagers’ ideas were their own, not necessarily aligning with Su Qing’s.

His gaze circled around Su Li’s ankles, struggling to cross that mental barrier.

Imagine him, President Su, having experienced everything, yet massaging someone’s feet was beyond his experiences.

Just thinking of that scene, a stench seemed to invade his nostrils.

Honestly, after not seeing their big sister for just one night, somehow she seemed to have become even more beautiful.

Those exposed legs, akin to fine jade, one glance seemed to calm even the most restless hearts in the heat.

However... doing such a thing, must he really surrender his pride?

One day he would become a man destined to be a president.

As Su Qing hesitated, Su Li indifferently started to shoo them away, "Go, go, go, don’t just stand here, the meat’s all gone, you can disperse now."

Just a wild boar, divided among five stomachs, even if four of them were kids, there wouldn’t be much left.

Don’t underestimate the kids of this era.

They aren’t like the kids from rich times who have plenty and eat less. Kids in this era, truly given the chance to eat freely, have hearty appetites too. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Otherwise, why would there be the saying, half-grown boys eat their fathers poor?

Whether it was Su Qing or Su Mo, Su Bing, Su Nian... they haven’t let go of the high-and-mighty attitudes from their past lives.

However, hunger will soon teach them to be realistic.

Su Li nonchalantly curled her lips, she’s heard enough of being called heartless; she couldn’t care less about the accusing words; being called names wouldn’t add an extra piece of meat to her pot.

Clearly, Su Li underestimated how shameless Su Qing and the others could be.

Though he wouldn’t stoop so low as to massage feet, he had other tactics.

Seeing Su Li’s impatience, a fierce look flashed in Su Qing’s eyes as he secretly exchanged glances with Su Mo.

Su Mo caught on, gritted her teeth, and with a thud, knelt straight down to the ground.

She was truly ruthless, the path was full of tiny pebbles and stones, and kneeling brought a searing pain straight to her head.

Immediately, Su Mo regretted it, subconsciously wanting to stand up, but in the severe gaze of Su Qing, she stiffened her body, not daring to move.

Since she kneels, she must get something in return.

The humiliation of today, she vows to take back in the future.

Su Mo lowered her head, with tears welling up, "Big sister, I know you see us as burdens. My brother and I promise not to bother you in the future, but Su Bing and Su Nian, they’re still so young... since you can take care of other kids, have mercy on Su Bing and Su Nian. With us, they truly have no way to survive."

The accompanying villagers chimed in, "Yes, young children don’t eat much..."

Su Bing and Su Nian exchanged a glance and silently dropped to their knees as well.

Playing on moral obligation quite adeptly.

Su Li beckoned, whispering a few words into Yuan Qi’s ear.

Soon, Yuan Qi ran off.

Su Li quietly watched the captivating drama unfolding outside, feeling rather joyful.

Afraid these kids have already harbored resentment towards her, just waiting for a chance...

The original owner in their past life, although despised and tormented by public opinion, at least gained some prosperity as compensation for her difficult earlier times.

But she... if these kids ever rose to power, she’d likely be the first they dealt with.

Su Qing and they certainly hold grudges well.

Su Li sipped her tea, squinting with a lazy and indifferent demeanor, unaffected by the outside situation.

The wooden house was quite cool, with a few young children diligently fanning Su Li with palm leaf fans...

But under the blazing midday sun, the people outside couldn’t withstand it.
