Chen Meng’er’s words made Liu Juan pause. “But these things are too precious.”

“If they weren’t precious, grandpa wouldn’t have taken them out. If you return these things to grandpa, he’ll think that we think that his things aren’t good. Moreover, these things are really nothing to him.” Although Chen Meng’er hadn’t known Elder Liu for long, based on her description of Zhuge Yu, Fatty, and the boss of the Green Gang from her previous life, she knew Elder Liu’s character.

Chen Ping and Liu Juan listened to their daughter’s words and hesitated. Chen Meng’er’s words hit the nail on the head of their worries. “Then, are we just going to keep them?” Chen Ping looked at Chen Meng’er and asked tentatively.

“Yes, just keep it for now. Grandpa doesn’t lack these things. I’ll use other things to return them in the future.” Chen Meng’er now knew what was good for Elder Liu.

“Then listen to Meng’er. Keep it for now.” Chen Ping thought for a moment and said to his wife, Liu Juan.

After settling this matter, Chen Meng’er continued to look down at the clothes that Elder Liu had brought for her. Meanwhile, Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan also started to pull the clothes that Elder Liu had casually brought for them.

One had to know that in this era, the children did not have any new clothes to wear. Sometimes, even during the new year, there were no new clothes to wear. Moreover, the children in the house were usually the younger ones who wore the clothes that the older one had worn.

In this family, Chen Meng’er’s treatment was much better than Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan’s. Although Chen Meng’er rarely wore new clothes, the clothes she had worn since she was young were all new, they were not the old clothes that other people wore. But Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan were completely different. They usually wore old clothes that other children had worn.

Therefore, when Chen Haoxuan and Chen Haoxuan saw the new clothes that Elder Liu had given them, their expressions were even more excited than when they saw the delicious food.

“Ah, Grandpa Liu actually brought us new clothes.” Chen Haoguo couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“Yeah, yeah. This way, when school starts, I’ll have new clothes to wear.” Chen Haoxuan was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. As the two brothers spoke, they picked up their clothes and began to gesture at themselves.

Chen Meng’er looked at her two brothers. They were so happy because of the new clothes they had for a few years. Her heart was sour and bitter. This made her unable to help but think of the time when she first came to this house. At that time, other than the clothes she was wearing, she had no other clothes to wear. Originally, according to the village’s custom, Liu Juan should have taken out the clothes the brothers had worn when they were young and given them to Chen Meng’er to wear.

However, Liu Juan’s heart ached for this little daughter that she had just picked up, so she did not take out her son’s old clothes and give them to Chen Meng’er to wear. Instead, she discussed it with her two sons, she took out the material that was supposed to be used to make clothes for the brothers and gave them to Chen Meng’er to make small clothes.

When the two brothers heard that, they hesitated for a moment before nodding their heads in agreement. That autumn, the two brothers did not get any new clothes.

Chen Meng’er, who could not speak at that time, lay on the bed and listened to the conversation between her mother and her two brothers. She shed her first tear after her rebirth. A tear that touched her.

“I will work hard and earn a lot. I will buy you a lot of nice new clothes.” Chen Meng’er looked at the two brothers in front of her. Although they were not related by blood in this life… she could not help but say this to her two brothers who really loved her.

“Yes. I will also work hard to study and then get into university. I will find a good job and buy a lot of nice dresses for you.” Chen Haoguo showed his two small canine teeth with a rare smile. “Yes.”

“Me too. When I grow up, I will also work hard to earn money and buy beautiful dresses for you.” Chen Haoxuan said, unwilling to be left behind.

The three little people in this somewhat shabby room made their own promises when they grew up. When they grew up and became successful, they couldn’t help but smile happily when they recalled this moment..
