Chapter 34: Chapter 034: No Work, No Food!

Xue Family was taken aback.

Her mother-in-law had become so frugal?

But then again, if she actually throws them away, there would be nothing left to change into.

Xue Family had no choice but to endure it, "I have no intention of throwing it away."

"That’s even better." The Princess Consort Luling picked out the clothes of the two kids, "These are for the kids. Pack them up and change them with these tonight."

Xue Family reluctantly took them, "Got it."

The Great Princess and the Second Princess also received an old skirt each. The colors were very dull and the styles were far from good-looking.

Actually, the one they had their eye on was a bamboo green skirt.

The other clothing was either coarse linen or hemp; only this piece was fine cotton, and it was ninety percent new!

Unfortunately, one of them was too tall and skinny, and the other too fat. Neither could wear that dress.

Both could only feel jealous, having no solution at all.

The small-sized dress could only be worn by Li Yuzhu.

"Everyone else gets old coarse fabric, and only Li Yuzhu gets a ninety-percent new dress in good fabric and a modern style! Who likes this kind of partial treatment? If it’s new, it should be new for everyone; if old, old for everyone!" The Great Princess felt wronged.

She hated the person who gave the bamboo green dress.

Seeing the awkward expressions on their faces, the Princess Consort Luling scolded with a stern face, "Don’t complain. It’s better than nothing! Would you like to not change clothes for a month?"

"We don’t like that!" The Great Princess and Second Princess frantically shook their hands in fear.

"Then just wear it for now." The Princess Consort retained her stern face.

"Yes, Mother Consort." Both sighed, their heads lowered.

The clothes for Prince Luling and Princess Consort Luling were not up for choosing; the plainest ones were given to them.

As the older brother, the Princely Heir always gave way to his younger siblings, letting his two younger brothers choose first.

The third brother, Li Xing’an, always lived carefree and without worries.

"As long as it’s not ripped, it’s fine." He told the Princess Consort Luling.

Once a flamboyant figure in the Lu Ling Royal Mansion, Second Young Master Li selected a slightly better robe.

When he saw the bamboo green girl’s skirt, he felt like pulling a prank on someone.

He grabbed it and tossed it to Li Xing’an, "This one is not torn, still pretty new, it suits you perfectly, and there are camellias embroidered on the hem! So beautiful, hahaha!"

Li Xing’an pulled it off his head only to find it was a little girl’s dress.

Needless to say, such a small dress could only belong to Li Yuzhu.

He immediately jumped up in anger, "You wretched Second Brother, stand still for me!"

"Even if I stand still, you can’t beat me!"

"Spouting nonsense, eat my punch first!"

"You eat my kick first!"

Just as they were about to start fighting, Li Yuzhu walked between them with her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "Did you two have way too much for lunch? Then there’s no need for dinner, is there?"

"No, that’s not right! We need to eat!" The two of them replied in unison.

"If you want to eat, then you have to work. No work, no food!" Li Yuzhu scowled.

Do they still consider themselves the idle noble sons of the Prince Mansion? With dozens of servants to serve them each day? Free time for arguing, bickering, and play fighting?

The brothers exchanged glances and each turned to walk away.

Li Xing’an ran off to find the small stove.

The Second Young Master was called by the Princely Heir to start a bonfire, which could provide both light and warmth.

Everyone was wearing only single-layer clothing, so warming up by the fire was just right.

Li Xing’an found some short pieces of firewood to stuff into the stove for cooking, baking, and boiling water. It was very useful, or so Li Yuzhu said.

But the stove only had two legs, causing it to tilt when placed on the ground.

This wouldn’t do, as the pots and pans placed on top would slip off.
