Chapter 823: I will save you
Shen Jin was obviously very happy that he could choose a pup but then he was told that they needed to leave the pup for a few days to his mother such that she will be properly weened, though he did not want to leave her behind he obviously agreed when he saw that Yu Mai and Little Bun also had to leave their pups behind.
Seeing their sullen look, Ye Liu was amused but he still very seriously said,” Even if you cannot take them with you right now, you can come and feed them milk and play with them as well. Right now, their eyes are still closed and in case they end up hurting themselves it will be more trouble than good.”
The reason he brought the kids to choose so early was because he heard from some villagers who were a bit better off than the others, that they wanted to take at least one pup with them. With the Big Stone Village eyeing their kids and mers it was only right for them to keep additional security, he did not wish to miss out on the healthiest pups which was why he made sure that their family chose first.
Yue Hua also knew the reason why Ye Liu brought the kids so soon. He also heard that some people wanted to bring pups with them in fact some came to ask for the pups from him earlier but he was a mer who adored animals, he straightforwardly told them that they will have to take care of the dog as their family member, they were not allowed to starve or feed them anything which was left behind by their family, It obviously went against the ideas of the villagers who thought that they could just feed bones to the pups while eating meat themselves which was why he refused to hand them puppies.
As for the families which already had enough trouble feeding themselves, it was impossible for them to bring a pup with them which was why till now none of the pups were chosen which accounted for Ye Liu and the babies’ good luck.
” You can bring them back in three days,” seeing that the kids were upset, Yue Hua told them as he crouched down and then took out a soft string to tie it around the three pups which were chosen. ” You see this? This is the mark which I left to identify which pup was already chosen, this way no one will choose the pup which you have picked up.”
This was indeed the biggest worry for the kids, they all were very concerned about whether their puppies will be left alone for them to pick but now that they saw the strings which were firmly tied around their neck, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the kids were happy and satisfied, Ye Liu brought them all home. Shen Jin was the first to rush up to Shen Li as he hugged his brother who was placing the dishes on the table, when Shen Li saw that his brother was hugging him with exceptionally red and tearful eyes, he could not help but place down the bowl of braised pork knuckles on the table with the braised pig head.
“What’s the matter? Did you not get to choose a good pup?” Shen Li questioned as he looked at Shen Jin whose lips were firmly pursed and his eyes were brimming with tears. But the little guy shook his head and then answered, “I…I chose the strongest pup.”
” Oh, so you chose the strongest one? Then you did a very good job.” Shen Li praised his brother causing Shen Jin’s cheeks to flush even redder. With his fingers running through the rough hair of Shen Jin which was matted and dirty, Shen Li softly asked, ” Then what are you crying for?”
Shen Jin sniffed as he raised his hand and wiped his eyes with his sleeves as he very embarrassingly confessed, ” This…This is my gift. I n..never… I mean…mother never…” Shen Jin wanted to say that his mother never bought him a present, even when it was his birthday or when he did something good like hunting a pheasant in the mountains.
All the money in the house was taken away by his mother even the game that he hunted was taken away and sold but he did not get a single copper coin much less something that he very much wanted, back in his village, he saw many women pampering their kids even if they did not treat their mer sons as good as their daughters or sons, they still gave them food and clothes, sometimes they would even pat their heads but Shen Jin had nothing even the shirt which he was wearing right now was too big for him and as for pants, he had none.
Even if he was a mer, he could only wear the long shirt of his sister and roam around. Thus, how can he not be touched and extremely happy upon receiving his own pup which he wanted to raise for a very long time?
Shen Li understood what Shen Jin was trying to say and even his eyes could not help but turn red, what a pity. They were obviously the better seeds when compared to Shen Hanxing but their elder sister not only got good food but even good clothes, all because of her gender as for others they could only roll to the side. nov𝓔𝗅𝗎𝑆𝔟/𝔠/o/𝔪
Even getting a small pup who was birthed by a street dog could bring tears to the eyes of his little brother, as Shen Li looked at his crying little brother who was dressed in rags and then looked at his clothes which were made of silk and the softest material, he could not help but guilty. His brother could not even get a set of pants and yet he was dressed like a landlord, though he knew that it was all their mother’s fault, as an elder brother how can he not feel bad when he saw his brother shedding tears like this?
He raised his hands and then hugged Shen Jin tight as he closed his eyes and patted his brother on the back, ” Just give brother a few more days, I will definitely save you from that evil woman.”
