Su Li stuck out his little tongue and licked his lips. He looked towards the kitchen with a serious expression and said, “I just want to take a look, Brother. Do you think White Rabbit milk candies are exceptionally sweet?”

Su Bing continued to focus on his homework, ignoring Su Li.

In the past, their father had given his previous wife money to buy candy for them, but she always appeared unwilling and ate all the candy herself without giving them a single piece.

After Gu Zi finished organizing the kitchen, she took out two pieces of candy, walked over to Su Bing and Su Li, and placed one candy in front of each of them. Then, she turned and went back into the kitchen.

Su Li looked at the White Rabbit milk candy with wide eyes, unable to resist the temptation.

He was about to grab one when Su Bing caught his hand.

“Brother,” Su Li looked at Su Bing with a pitiful expression.

“You’re not allowed to eat it,” said Su Bing.

“Brother, I heard that this is very delicious.” Su Li licked the saliva at the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

Su Bing pointed at Su Li’s exercise book and said, “Hurry up and do your homework.”

Su Li obediently picked up his pen and started writing in his workbook. After a while, he stopped and looked at Su Bing with reluctance, then continued to do his homework.

Su Bing finished his homework and told Su Li to do it well. Then, he went upstairs to look for Su Le.

Su Li took this opportunity and quickly opened a White Rabbit milk candy and popped it in his mouth.

The milky and creamy taste instantly spread throughout his entire mouth. His eyes instantly sparkled as he thought to himself that this must be the most delicious candy in the world.

After about five minutes, Su Bing held Su Le’s hand and walked down. He saw that one of the candies on the table was missing, and his face darkened. He looked at Su Li with a serious expression.

Su Li didn’t want to admit it at first, but Su Bing’s stare made him uncomfortable. So he said unwillingly, “Brother, I ate it. This candy is really sweet. You should have one too!”

Su Bing was speechless.

Gu Zi was preparing to cook in the kitchen. She had just been to the village cooperative and spent around fifteen yuan.

While Su Shen had allowed her to stay in the Su family’s house, she wasn’t sure about his intentions or if he truly intended to marry her.

Today, she had almost spent half of her savings, and at this rate, her money would soon run out.

She still intended to continue her education, but she couldn’t expect Su Shen to pay for her tuition.

Furthermore, she had some doubts about the Su family’s financial situation.

Although the Su family’s house was well-built and the items in the house were expensive, the three children looked very thin, like lollipops. She suspected that Su Shen might be running out of money, which could explain why the children were going without food.

She felt that she had to rely on herself to earn money.

Gu Zi had only prepared half of the meat for lunch earlier, and the other half was in the refrigerator. She took out the meat, washed it, and began marinating it with various seasonings.

Afterward, she started boiling water to steam rice.

The left stove was for steaming rice, while the right stove was for stewing the meat.

Half an hour later, she placed the marinated meat directly into the pot on the right. She poured in the seasoning that she had prepared in advance, then covered the lid and waited for the pot to simmer slowly.

The weather was hot, so she prepared to serve cucumbers to go with the dishes.

the pot started to boil, and she quickly adjusted the heat to low.

The aroma of the cooking meat filled the kitchen and wafted out through the partially open kitchen door.

In the living room, Su Li had finished eating his White Rabbit candy and was about to sneakily take the one in front of Su Bing when he suddenly smelled the rich aroma of meat.

Su Li’s mouth watered, and his eyes remained fixed on the direction of the kitchen.

Su Bing held Su Lele’s hand and stiffened slightly, gazing directly towards the kitchen.

Aunt Chu usually only prepared lunch and dinner for them, and in the morning, they often went hungry.

Their meals consisted of watery soup with a few grains of rice and some wilted vegetable leaves. It had been a long time since they had eaten meat.

Although Su Bing had eaten noodles for lunch and wasn’t hungry, the scent of the meat still drew his attention toward the kitchen.

As for Su Le, she was ecstatic and started dancing in excitement. If Su Bing hadn’t reacted quickly, she might have jumped out of his arms.

Su Li leaned in closer to Su Bing and whispered, “Brother, our stepmother’s cooking smells so good, it’s the aroma of meat!”

Su Li was already salivating from the delicious scent.

Su Bing’s expression became complicated as he withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Li beside him.
