"where are you going to get money when you're still at such a young age?" Malvolio immediately

asked.

"Malvolio, I have long fingers." That seemed to be out of context.

Malvolio looked at his sister’s slender and beautiful fingers and he felt heartbroken. "When I

have made a lot of money, I will send to learn piano. Do you like that piano very much?" he

asked, as he pointed at the piano.

Eira nodded. "Mm-hmm."

She raised her head to look at her brother. "Malvolio, Г11 go ask my dad for money."

She originally wanted to say that her fingers are very long, so she can use her long fingers to

steal from her father. Although Eira still did not know where people with long fingers could be

pickpockets and could steal, she felt what the elegant pianist said would certainly be right. He

seemed like a cultured person, so if he said her long fingers were suitable for pickpocketing,

then she certainly could steal money. She wanted to tell her brother very badly that she intended

to use her long fingers to steal her father's money, but she was afraid her brother would give her

a beating because her brother was still very strict with her. Her brother certainly would not allow

her to steal, even if she was stealing from her father's money. Therefore, when the words were

at the tip of her tongue, she changed it and said she was going to ask her father for money.

When Malvolio heard Eira saying that, he immediately smiled bitterly. He thought his sister truly

had got some good ways to get money. He stroked his sister's head. "Silly girl, your dad only has

the obligation to support you, but not me and mom. If you were to go ask him for money again,

he would still say that it's mom and I who urged you to go ask from him. what should you do if he

doesn’t even give you the one thousand dollars every month anymore in the future? It's fine.

Don't go and ask for father for money anymore." 1

Eira nodded sensibly. "I got it, Malvolio."

After the young Eira watched her brother finish his lunch, she left with the lunchbox, she walked

all the way home, and she kept thinking of that sentence that the pianist had told her just now,

which was that her fingers were suitable for pickpocketing.

Pickpocketing was equivalent to stealing. The word steal was very harsh to the ear. However,

once Eira thought of how her father did not even dare admit that she was his daughter when she

was with him, and so she had to watch with her eyes widened at her father being happy with his

newly formed family of tree while Eira was treated as a beggar, Eira felt that the word steal was

very comforting. At the very least, she did not need to be looked down upon by others. After all,

she was going to steal her father's money and not someone else's money.

When she thought of that, she was reminded of her brother. When she was very young and was

only about four years old, she saw on the road a child eating a lollipop. The lollipop was just half

a dollar, but her mother also did not have money to buy for her. Eira looked at that child licking

the lollipop, and she was so eager to have it that her drools had wet the front of her shirt. Later

on, when her brother had gotten home after school and saw Eira in such a state, he was so

angry that he immediately scolded Eira. However, when Eira saw her brother coming, she felt

that she had help. She ignored her brother's scolding. Instead, she rushed forward and snatched

the lollipop away from that child opposite her in one fell swoop. She did not care if it had been in

someone else's mouth, Eira just shoved the lollipop into her mouth, she enjoyed it so sweetly.

The child opposite her immediately burst into tears. At that time, even Malvolio was stunned.

"Eira, you..."

The mother of the child heard the child' s cry, so she came to the child. Once she saw that Eira

had snatched the lollipop away from her child just because she had her brother by her side, that

woman immediately became so furious that she scolded Malvolio, "Ill-mannered children! You

have a mother to give birth to you, but you don’t have a father to teach you! No wonder your

mother is a lunatic. Serves her right! The way you eat looks so hideous! Ill- mannered children!"

After she scolded them angrily, she led her child to buy a new lollipop. Malvolio, on the other

hand, was so angry that he took Eira by the hand and went straight home, when they got back

home, their mother had gone out to her stall and had not returned yet. Malvolio had her sister

bent over his knee and he gave her a severe beating.

"Do you dare to snatch again?"

Eira bawled inconsolably. "I won’t snatch anymore..." "Eira, listen to me! In the future, if you let

me find you snatching others or stealing other people's things to eat because you're gluttonous, I

will break your legs! Do you hear me?"

Eira cried so hard that she was gasping for air. "I...I heard you, Malvolio, I heard you. I won't ever

snatch other people's things to eat again in the future."

After he had given Eira a beating, Malvolio felt incomparably heartbroken. He hugged his sister.

"In the future, after I've made money, I will buy it for you.
