1o,

In the house.

Inside.

Day (Flashback)

Mengsheng happily returned home from outside, entered the door, looked into the room, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother, brother."

No one answered in the room.

Mengsheng walked in with confidence.

My brother was not there in the room.

Mengsheng took out the money he had just received from his pocket, counted it carefully over and over again, a smile appeared on her face, and said to herself: "Now, we can finally buy some food." She said, turning around to get the noodle bag.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside.

Mengsheng was shocked when he heard this: "Ah! Is he back?" She hurriedly stuffed the money in her hand under the kang mat.

The brother strode in from outside: "Mengsheng, where are you at home?"

Mengsheng: "Brother, are you...you are back?"

The brother looked at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mengsheng smiled concealedly and said, "I...I didn't do anything?"

Brother: "Then why don't you cook?"

Mengsheng: "Brother, there is no food at home."

Brother: "Then won't you find a way?"

Mengsheng: "What are you thinking about?"

Brother: "You go and borrow some from someone else's house first!"

Mengsheng shook his head: "Brother, I won't go!"

The brother was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Mengsheng: "I have borrowed all the neighbors nearby from others."

Brother: "What are you afraid of? Ah! Will we return it to them when we have it in the future?"

Mengsheng: "Brother, our family has become like this now. What else can we pay to others in the future? Ah!"

But my brother said indifferently: "Well! Mengsheng, don't worry, we will have money in the future."

Mengsheng: "Is there money? Where does it come from?"

Brother: "When my brother has good luck that day, I may not be sure that the money will come."

Mengsheng heard this and was surprised: "Brother, why haven't you changed your gambling habits? Ah!"

The brother smiled and said, "Hmph! Mengsheng, why did you think I wanted to change it? Ah!"

Mengsheng: "Brother, if you don't change your problem, our family will be bet sooner or later."

Brother: "Can you?"

Mengsheng: "Why can't you? Ah!"

Brother: "Then don't you think your brother will make a fortune?"

Mengsheng glared at him and said disdainfully: "Hmph! Will you still make a fortune if you do this?"

Brother: "Well, what's wrong? Don't you believe it? Ah! Otherwise, you can get me some money now, and I will get the double portion back in a while."

Mengsheng gave him a mouth: "Hmph! Brother, just blow it!"

"Oh." The brother suddenly remembered and said to her: "Mengsheng, shouldn't you go and get the money today?"

Mengsheng pretended to be confused: "What money should I get?"

Brother: "How much do you earn when washing clothes for others?"

Mengsheng: "I didn't go to get it."

Brother: "Why?"

Mengsheng: "There is no one in their family."

When the brother heard this, he laughed: "Mengsheng, who are you lying to? Ah! Do you think I was so easy to deceive you? Ah! Hey, where did you take the money back?"

Mengsheng stammered: "I...I...I didn't go to collect it?"

The brother glared: "Hmph! You lied to me! You just said that there was no one in his family, and now you said you didn't go to collect it. What's going on? Ah!"

Mengsheng: "Brother, I...I really didn't go to get it."

Brother: "Okay! Then you go and get it now!"

Mengsheng: "No, I won't go!"

Brother: "Hmph! Don't go! OK! Then go aside!" He said, pushing Mengsheng outside and closing the door.
