Chapter 119 People Eating Cabbage Sticks
Little Ling'er blinked her big eyes and quickly waved her hands, "Ling'er doesn't want to eat. Sister Baiyu, please eat quickly. Ling'er has steamed buns. Having steamed buns is already very good."
Although she said that, Xiao Ling'er's eyes never left the chicken leg and she kept swallowing her saliva.
Lin Molin also sensed something was wrong, "Xiao Ling'er, do you usually...eat meat?"
Little Ling'er lowered her head, her hands tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, and said in a low voice: "Ling'er doesn't eat meat often. She only gets to eat a little when the family goes out on missions and brings back some..."
Nani? ?
Lin Molin looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, then at the steamed bun in Xiao Ling'er's hand, then stood up and told Bai Yu, "Bai Yu, take Xiao Ling'er to eat something, I'll go to the kitchen to check."
Xiao Ling'er looked at the sect leader who was leaving, and felt as if she had done something wrong, so she quickly jumped off the chair and followed him.
Bai Yu was holding a spiritual fruit. When he turned around, Xiao Ling'er, who had just sat on the chair, had run to the door and was climbing the threshold with great effort.
Bai Yu: ...
Human cubs are a bit naughty...
Lin Molin walked along the corridor and did not see anyone from the Jiang family on the way.
This meal time should be in the kitchen.
She took big steps and pushed open the kitchen door.
Everyone in the Jiang family who was eating in the kitchen yard turned around and looked at Lin Molin, who appeared at the gate of the yard with an expressionless face.
Jiang Zhen was so frightened that the cabbage stalks in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Zong, Zongzhu, why are you here?"
Jiang Zhen quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and was about to walk over when he saw Lin Molin coming in, frowning and stirring the cabbage soup and porridge they had cooked with a spoon.
"Do you usually eat this?"
Jiang Zhen's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he scratched his head: "Master, we just moved here, and the supplies are not yet fully prepared. For now, we can only eat these. But don't worry, we will improve the food in a while."
Lin Molin frowned slightly, looking at the slightly embarrassed expressions of the Jiang family members, and glanced at Jiang Zhen. "Jiang Zhen, do you believe what I said?"
She thought poverty was an abstract subject, but she never expected it to be such a vivid conceptual subject.
Lin Mo frowned and glanced around at everyone, especially seeing a few children about the same age as Xiao Ling'er sitting quietly by the side, chewing on cabbage stalks...
Her anger reached its peak. "This courtyard shouldn't cost more than two hundred spirit stones, right? Why not use the remaining spirit stones to buy spiritual materials?"
Jiang Zhen's body trembled, and he opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Seeing his father's embarrassed look, Jiang Yichen quickly explained on Jiang Zhen's behalf, "Master, these are good enough. We love them! We'll save the remaining spirit stones for you..."
"Shut up!"
Before Jiang Yichen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Molin.
He quickly pushed Xiaoliu next to him and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, the sect leader is angry, go and explain."
Xiaoliu quickly stepped back and shouted in his heart, Master, please don't go too far.
I treat you as my master, but you treat me as cannon fodder. It makes me sad...
Although Xiaoliu was complaining in his heart, he had no choice but to stand up when he saw Lin Molin's anger growing.
He rubbed his hands nervously and took a cautious half step forward. "Master, we know we were wrong. We didn't want to do this, but we wanted to save the spirit stones for a rainy day. We also think we can get by like this now, and we don't want to cause you any trouble."
Lin Molin looked at Xiaoliu's fearful expression, and his anger subsided a little.
Talking about saving spirit stones is bullshit. Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. If you can't find a source, just reduce your own expenditure.
Adults can do it, but how can children not?
Just like the original owner of this body of hers, she didn't eat well when she was a child, fell behind others when she grew up, and finally died.
So, what is the purpose of living?
"She" had been caught in the rain, so she thought of holding an umbrella for others.
Since they are all disciples of the sect, how can the sect leader eat from two pots of rice with his disciples?
To put it in a broader sense, we are all a “family” now.
It’s really because of poverty.
Lin Molin stared at Jiang Zhen, who was shrinking his neck. "Immediately arrange for someone to buy some chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs. The adults can bear with it, but what about the children? If they don't lay a good foundation, they will not be strong enough when they grow up, and it will bring shame to the sect."
When Jiang Zhen heard this, he thought that he was an old man, but now he was almost moved to tears by his sect leader.
Although Lin Molin spoke harshly, he could still hear the concern in his words.
He agreed immediately, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and with red eyes, he quickly assigned a few nimble disciples to purchase ingredients.
"Master, Master." A child's sweet voice drew everyone's attention to the gate of the yard.
Lin Molin turned his head to look at the panting Xiao Ling'er, and the dirt on her knees. She probably fell on the road while running.
"Xiaoling'er, where have you been?" Xiaoling's mother Chunniang couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her daughter like this.
Just as I was about to walk over, I saw their sect leader holding Xiao Ling'er at the door in his arms.
"Master, give Ling'er to me. This girl is dirty. Don't let her stain your robes."
Lin Molin shook his head slightly and looked at Xiao Ling'er in his arms tenderly, "It's okay, I'll take care of her."
"Mom, have I, have I gotten into trouble..." Xiao Ling'er in Lin Molin's arms pouted and looked at her mother with tearful eyes.
If she hadn't run to their clan leader's courtyard out of curiosity, no trouble would have occurred.
Chunniang waved her hands quickly and looked at her daughter distressedly: "Ling'er didn't get into trouble, don't think too much."
Lin Molin gently patted Xiao Ling'er's back to comfort her.
At this time, everyone in the Jiang family realized that it was because of Xiao Ling'er that their leader knew that they were eating cabbage stalks.
They felt both touched and guilty. They were touched by the sect leader's concern for them, but also felt guilty for letting the sect leader see them in such an embarrassing situation.
The other children looked at Xiao Ling'er in Lin Molin's arms with envy in their eyes. Lin Molin looked at the group of little kids and waved to them, "Come here too!"
They turned to look at their parents, and when they saw their parents nod, they cheered and followed Lin Molin's steps.
Bai Yu also came over at this time. Looking at the group of young ladies who were still flocking over, she ran up happily, "Miss!"
Lin Molin looked at this group of little kids and felt much better. He sat at the table in the yard holding Xiao Ling'er.
Jiang Zhen tactfully led everyone to clear the boiled cabbage stalks and porridge from the table.
Lin Molin was speechless looking at this group of skinny kids.
Although the parents did not mistreat their child, it is still very "awesome" that they were able to raise the child to be so thin.
So he turned to look at Baiyu, "Baiyu, take out some of your nectar."
When everyone heard Lin Molin's words, they didn't take it too seriously.
Until they saw the nectar that Bai Yu took out, they wished they were a few decades younger and could be three or four-year-old children so that they could have a lick of it.
