Ch. 1891..1900

Chapter 1891 When she was doing well, she would set up a stall on the street to help others sew and mend their clothes to help with the family expenses. When she was not doing well, she asked her two children to tie her up at home as she did not want to hurt anybody and she did not want to be sent to a psychiatric hospital. That was because once she was sent to a psychiatric hospital, her two children would no longer have a mother. Both her children would have no home to go back to. Therefore, only the two siblings, Malvolio and Eira, knew about Eirwen s mental issues. 1 The first time Malvolio had stolen something was when he was eighteen. He had snuck into a psychiatric hospital to steal psychiatric medication. It was by a lucky chance that after his mother had taken the medication he stole for her, she clearly got better and did not have any episode for more than half a year. After that, Malvolio would steal medication for his money when nobody was around. With that, his mother's illness has improved. To be honest, it was also because Eirwen's will power was strong enough. She was a mother who cared so much for her two children, so how could she let herself go insane?

The two children were very happy that she had gotten better. It was particularly so for Eira. She was an eight -year-old little girl, which was at the time when she needed her mother, she held her mother’s hand. " Mom, take me shopping, alright?" 1 Eirwen smiled, "of course. I am fine now. I want to open a fashion store in the future and make the clothes myself. I can make money and I will let you two wear decent clothes and have proper meals."

Eira leaned into her mother's arms. "Mom, I don’t want you to make a lot of money. I just want you to be healthy and keep US accompanied. Mom, I just want you to be doing well. I will think 1 of a way to make money." 1 Eirwen thought the eight-year-old girl was just joking and was trying to console her mother.

However, Eirwen did not know that in order to not let her mother worry and not let her mother have another episode, Eira had privately gone to find her father. When Delmont came in front of the Delmont and Joy Fashion Company, he was startled to see Eira there. The little girl was not short, but she was very skinny. The clothes she wore were a little small and also a little dirty. The pair of shoes on her feet, in particular, was not just dirty, but her toes were even jutting out.

Delmont could not help but feel heartbroken when he saw such a child standing in front of him. 1 "Eira, why are you here?" asked Delmont. 1 Eira looked at her father coldly. "Give me money. I want a lot of money!" 2 "Haven't I just sent two thousand dollars to you guys a week ago? Why are you still dressed like that? Did your brother spend all the money? Let me tell you. You and your brother don’t have the same father! Don’t let your brother spend the money that I have given you. You can buy pretty clothes and good food for yourself!" Delmont was extremely furious.

Originally, he could have given his daughter a very good life and a lot of money. He was not short of money at that moment. However, once he thought of needing to raise someone else's boy, Delmont became reluctant. Therefore, he had been giving them just enough for his daughter's living expenses, and he felt that giving them two thousand dollars a month was already too much. Also, he had just given them the money last week, so no matter how, his daughter never would have finished spending it.

"Dad! We paid the rent with the two thousand dollars you gave me. The landlord had asked for three months ' rent. That is already one thousand and eight hundred dollars for three months. All that's left at home is just two hundred dollars." Eira looked at her father in tears. 1 Delmont became furious. "Eira, I have the obligation to raise you, but I don’t have the obligation to support your brother and your mother. Do you understand that?" 1 "I don’t care. I just want money. I want money!" Eira said. 1 "You...you are too not sensible!" Delmont said.

As he said that, a gentle voice called out to him from behind them. "Delmont, who are you talking to? Are you not coming?"

Delmont and Eira turned at the same time. In an instant, Eira saw that an elegant and stylish woman, and that woman was holding the hands of a little princess that was just a little younger than Eira. 1 The little princess already came up to Eira and asked condescendingly, "who are you? why are you so dirty?

Chapter 1892 Eira was speechless. For some reason, Eira felt an indescribable fear. She was afraid of Joy and Brooke. In fact, she was feeling incomparably inferior. She felt so inferior that she did not dare to speak at all. She subconsciously held her father's hand in hope that her father could give her some strength. The moment she held Delmont’s hand, she heard Brooke shouted sharply. "What are you doing? Your hand is so dirty. You will dirty my dad's hand! which family do you come from? How can you be so rude? Can you hold the hand of a stranger?" 1 "This...I am not a stranger. This..." Eira stammered.

She raised her head to look at Delmont, and he had a very galling expression. He had a very harmonious relationship with his current wife. Both of them had been going through thick and thin together, and it was through their efforts of almost eight years that they got their status at that moment and also have such a huge fashion company. Their family of three were also very happy. Delmont truly did not want any external factors to affect the family that he got at that moment, which had taken them a great deal of effort to obtain. Therefore, he was very annoyed that Eira had come looking for him. when Eira raised her head to look at him, he was, of course, upset. 1 The more upset he got, the clearer he heard Eira. " This...ismy dad." 1 "You...what did you say?" Brooke instantly became enraged. The six-year-old child was already able to tell who was supposed to be her father and her sister, so she pointed at Eira and scolded angrily. "You are so young. You look like you're just a couple of years older than me. You're still so young, and you're already lying?" 1 "I am not lying," Eira said. 1 "But I don’t have a sister! My parents only gave birth to me! How can my dad be your dad?"

Brooke took a step forward and pushed Eira away aggressively. "You dirty beggar! Let go of my dad' s hand! You' re so dirty! Get lost!" 1 Originally, Brooke was still able to maintain the act of a graceful young lady, but when she heard this unfamiliar, unknown, and dirty little girl calling her father dad, all of Brooke's manners went down the drain. Eira burst into tears, she was afraid and she did not dare to say anything, she just sat on the ground with her face covered in tears. 1 "Who...who exactly are you? Why are you dressed so poorly? Your toes are even poking out of your shoes! Are you a homeless person who ran away from home? Do you have lice on your head? Quickly get away from my dad. Go away!" said Brooke. The more she spoke, the angrier she got.

When Eira heard Brooke saying that her toes were poking out of her shoes, she immediately embarrassingly folded her legs. Her shoes had been broken for a long time, but she had no money to buy a new one. she had originally planned to ask money from her father that day, and then she would be able to buy new shoes for herself, her brother, and her money. However, she did not expect that she would meet her father's wife and daughter in front of her father's company. The eight-year-old Eira did not know how to deal with them at all. she was hoping very badly that her father could help her, so raised her head and looked at her father with a pleading gaze. Her father only had a disgusted expression. 1 At that moment, it was Joy who beat Delmont to the punch and saved Eira from embarrassment.

"Brooke! You can’t be so rude. You are loved by your parents, but do you know there are many pitiful orphans in this world? Didn't you see this girl is dressed so shabbily? She is already pitiful enough, and yet, you still want to chase her away. Aren't you not being compassionate?" Joy scolded her daughter sternly.

Only then did Brooke restrained herself a little. " Mom, you are right!"

"Is that what I usually teach you?"

"You said that if I meet stray cats and dogs on the street, I have to pity and sympathize with him because they are also living," said Brooke in tears.

Chapter 1893 "That's right! Every life is precious and is worthy of love and care! Quickly, come and apologize to this little girl right now!"

Brooke immediately turned to Eira. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been fierce to you. I know that you are very poor and very pitiful. However, no matter how poor you are, you can't call my father your dad. My dad is only mine alone. Nobody else can call him dad. If you are pitiful, then you can call my dad uncle. As long as you don't call my dad as dad in the future, then I will forgive you.

Please forgive me too, alright?" 1 Eira was speechless. At that moment, the eight-year- old child's heart was as painful as being sliced by a knife. Tears came pouring down her cheeks. She was crying so badly that she could not clearly tell the other people's expressions. She was crying so badly that she did not know what to do. The eight-year-old child was still unable to deal with the situation in a calm and composed manner, she was very helpless, she was so helpless that she did not know what to do at all. At that moment, how good it would be if she had her mother and her brother around?

However, her mother and her brother did not know that she had come to ask her father for money. Her brother, in particular, had no clue at all. 2 "Eira, your dad is not too willing to give you money, so don't go asking him for money again in the future. I am soon turning eighteen. In another two months, I will be graduating from high school. Once I have graduated, I will go find a job and earn money to support you and mom. Just hold out for another two months. I have to get my high school diploma, alright?

" Her brother said to her. 1 Eira seemed like she promised her brother, but she did not want her brother to stop studying because he had very good grades. That was why she came to ask her father for money behind her brother and her mother's back. However, she did not expect that when she had taken the initiative to ask her father for money for the first time in her life, the situation would turn out to be so out of control. 1 The eight-year-old child only knew to cry, but her tears did not get any sympathy from her father.

He just held his annoyed forehead, then turned his head and looked at Brooke. "Brooke, she must have been frightened by you. I guess she has already forgiven you. Otherwise, why wouldn't she say anything?"

Brooke looked at Eira with discontentment. 1 "Brooke, look at how pitiful this child is. she is more pitiful than you. Let's take her to buy new clothes and a pair of new shoes, alright?" Delmont said again.

"Not alright! She's not even willing to forgive me!" Brooke said.

Delmont coaxed her daughter gently again. "Brooke, you have always been very kind hearted, right?

Usually, when you see stray cats and dogs, don't you often take care of them?"

"The stray cats and dogs are much more well- mannered than her!" said Brooke with discontentment.

"Hey! You are generous. Don't bother fighting with this girl. Just treat it as handouts. We'll be giving her new clothes and shoes as handouts, alright?" Joy also coaxed her daughter. Only then did Brooke reluctantly agree.

The family of three then brought Eira to the mall in an extremely condescending manner. When they were about to get in the car, Joy made a fuss and took a few pieces of paper to lay on the car seat before letting Eira sit on it. She even murmured, "Don't dirty it.

Don't dirty it. These car seats are of genuine leather." 1 After saying that, she did not forget to call out to Brooke. "Brooke, sit in front. Don't sit at the back. I'm afraid you also will be dirty. Lay in my arms. Don't let the traffic police see you."

"Mm-hmm," Brooke answered.

The family of three sat in the driver seat and the front passenger seat while Aino sat alone at the back. That loneliness was not something an eight-year-old child like her could process. However, even if she could not process it, she still had to do it. 6 When they arrived at the mall, the family of three took Eira straight to the children's department.

Once the salesperson saw Brooke and her family, she immediately called out in a friendly manner. "Hey, Chairman Stevens, Director Fox, you've come. Are you here to pick out a few things for your daughter? Didn't you just buy a whole car full the day before? The little princess in your family is truly very happy."

"No, today, we've purposely come to give handouts to this rude beggar," Brooke said.

Chapter 1894 The way the six-year-old Brooke spoke was so innocent. The way she looked with her head tilted and her eyes widened had a pure kind of cuteness.

When they heard Brooke saying that, the few workers at the children's store took a look at Eira one after another. They saw a girl who was much taller than Brooke, but she was poorly dressed. Her hair was dirty and greasy, and her body was also dirty, she gave people the feeling that she did not care about hygiene at all. On top of that, Eira was afraid, so both her hands were picking on her fingers, and her nails were full of dirt, when the few workers saw that kind of situation, they instantly looked at Eira with disgust. Eira then became even more afraid. She bit her lips and did not dare to look at anybody. 2 "Gosh! Your feet! Your shoes have dirtied our store!" said a worker sharply.

Eira immediately took a few steps back as if she had done something wrong. It was fine if she had not retreated, but as she dragged her feet to take a few steps back, she made the floor of the children's store covered in mud. 1 "Eira!" Delmont scolded her. At that moment, Delmont hated this daughter of his very much, she was ill-mannered and did not care about her hygiene at all! She was two years older than Brooke, but she knew nothing at all. 1 "Stop moving!" Delmont scolded Eira. Eira did not dare to move anymore. 1 "Apologize to these ladies!" Delmont ordered again. Eira did not say anything. 1 "Apologize!"

Eira was afraid. "I'm...sorry. Ma'am, I'm sorry! Ма'ат...Гт...Гт sorry." Eira’s eyes were filled with fear. She had never encountered such a situation.

When she was very young, she was brought up by her brother. When she had just learned to walk, her brother took her along and ran around everywhere. He stole two buns for her to eat one day, and picked up other people's leftovers for her to eat another day. Her brother was a boy so he did not care about hygiene at all. Therefore, she also often had dirt in her nails, but she also did not wash her hands. 1 Not only did she not wash her hands, but her legs were also not washed for many days. That was because there was no hot water at home, and they had no extra money to let her shower at a public bath. Even if they had the money, there was no one who would take her there.

Therefore, Eira had always been very dirty. Her feet smelled very badly, and her head had lice.

As such, of course Eira had never been to a slightly more decent store for children's apparel, much less walking in such a big mall. 1 Her inferiority became unconcealable. Her toes that were poking out of her shoes appeared to be even more amusing and obtrusive. However, she did not know what to do. She had no solution at all. The eight year-old child had the complete taste of being helpless but had no choice not to endure it. she looked at her father, Joy, her sister, Brooke, and also the workers in horror. None of the people could help her.

Eira' s mind was in a daze, she heard the workers mocking her. "Little princess, say, what kind clothes should you buy to give this beggar as handout?" 1 No matter how much the workers despised Eira, they still had to push their business. 1 Brooke tilted her head and thought about it. "Well, of course she can't wear the styles that I like.

After all, I am the one giving her the handout, so just let her wear the ones left behind after I have picked out what I liked. Then...the ugly ones in your stores will do then."

Chapter 1895 "Alright! The little princess is truly kind. This way, not only will you be able to help this beggar, but you can also help US sell off those unsalable items. You truly are very kind, little princes." The salesperson found Brooke more likable the more she looked at her.

"I think that I am very kind too," Brooke also said happily.

The salesperson started to look for some ugly items while conversing with Brooke. In just a moment, she had found a couple sets. Nobody was willing to help Eira change her clothes, so they let her go to the public washroom to change herself. The little Eira carried the clothes herself and went to the public washroom, she came back after a short while. 1 When they saw her, everyone present was stunned. The eight-year-old child had been very dirty and just looked incomparably ugly, she had washed her little face, and the dirt in her nails were also cleaned by her. She sat at the gutter at the edge of the toilet that was used to wash mops and washed her feet. After she changed into the new clothes, she instantly became like a new person. 2 The little girl was more than ten centimeters taller than her younger sister. Although she did not have the princess-like appearance like her sister, she was not ugly. The main thing was that she suddenly became clean, so she appeared to be even more beautiful than Brooke. It was mainly because the contrast had taken effect. She had suddenly gone from being the ugliest to becoming beautiful.

Although she was the most beautiful, it was enough to make an impression.

Eira's skin, in particular, was not more tan than Brooke. In fact, the two sisters' complexion was just as fair as the other. They had taken after their father in terms of their complexion. On top of that, Eira had a dazed and timid expression, and she was tall and thin. She had worn a black and slightly old fashioned children's clothing. However, not only did not that make her look bad, but it showed off the kind of melancholic beauty on the little child. The few workers were stunned by what they saw. 1 One of them even blurted out in great shock. "Wow, she is truly quite a beautiful little girl. It's just that the color of the clothes she wore is slightly more dull. If her clothes were changed into the same color as her shoes on her feet, I can promise that this is another little princess. If we ask this little princess to stand in front of our store to be our live model, I'm guessing she could bring in quite a few customers for US." 1 "Manager." The salesperson turned her head to look at the manager, "other than the pair of pink shoes, this beautiful little girl is wearing all the unsalable items on her. However, once it's on her, look, how nice it looked!"

The manager could not stop praising her. "I truly have never expected that this little girl would be so beautiful..."

The manager wanted to say something else but she did not. She felt that this little girl was more beautiful than the little princess, Brooke, who did Brooke think she was? she was only who she was because of all the beautiful clothes. However, this little girl was different. This little girl was wearing such unsalable styles, yet, she could create a different effect, she truly looked good in anything.

The way the manager looked at Eira was different from before. As such, Delmont also felt a sense of pride. He immediately smiled and looked at the salesperson. "Quick! Take out a few more sets and pack all of them up, especially this kind of pink shoes. This girl looks particularly good in pink shoes." 1 In fact, which eight-year-old girl would not look good in pink? If Eira was given a pastel pink coloured princess gown, she would look even better. Delmont squatted in front of Eira, and he approved the way she dressed and was very happy. He had taken a couple more looks at those pink shoes, in particular. Her toes were poking out of her shoes just now. Although he despised this girl, he was still feeling sorry for her deep in his heart. Everything had turned out well. The child had shoes to wear, and she was so good looking and beautiful. 1 As a matter of fact, Delmont also was a person with two daughters, and both her daughters were very beautiful. At that moment, Delmont really wanted to hug her eldest daughter very much. He looked at Eira with an amiable smile on his face. Just when he wanted to say something, he heard Brooke, who was at the side, crying.

"Dad! You're too nice to this beggar!" said Brooke, crying.

She suddenly ran towards Eira. When she got to the front of Eira, Brooke raised her foot and stomped aggressively on Eira's foot a few times, "who asked you to have pretty shoes? who asked you to have pretty shoes! I'll showyou! г 11 makeyourshoe dirty! You're just a beggar. All of the things on you are bought by me. I forbid you to be so beautiful!" Brooked roared like crazy.

1 Eira was speechless.

Chapter 1896 At that moment, Eira could not be more heartbroken. She had not worn a new pair of shoes in a few years, and that pair of shoes was given to her by her brother. Her brother had had his eyes on a family for a very long time, and once that family had thrown their trash out, her brother went to rummage through the trash and picked up a pair of slightly better shoes for her to wear, she had worn those shoes for two years. Her father did give her a thousand dollars every month, but that had to be used on food and drinks for the whole family. Her brother had to go to school, and her mother could not work, so they did not have any extra money to buy new shoes for her at all.

It was such a rare occasion that her dad had spoken for the first time to take her to buy extra shoes and clothes. In the end, her sister stepped on her shoes and dirited it. Eira was so heartbroken that tears came gushing down. 1 Delmont scolded Brooke. "Brooke, you've gone too far! "AD Brooke glared angrily at her father. "Hmph! I hate you! You sided with an outsider! You're so nice to her!

You even sided with her!"

After saying that, Brooke ran off. Behind her, Joy glared angrily at Delmont, then immediately followed Brooke out. "Brooke, Brooke!"

Delmont glanced at the salesperson, and then at Eira. He then instantly waved his hand and said, "Just these two will do. Leave the rest. There's no time today!"

After saying that, Delmont paid and then led Eira hurriedly out the store. He bought two sets of clothes and a pair of shoes for Eira. The clothes that Eira was wearing were already thrown away. She wanted to take them back as they could be used as an additional change of clothes after washing them at home, but her father pulled her away very quickly. Even when they had already been walking so quickly, Delmont still did not manage to catch up to Joy and Brooke.

The mother and daughter had long gone downstairs in an elevator. Delmont and Eira could only wait for the next elevator.

As they were waiting for the elevator, Delmont lowered his head and looked at Eira, who still had tears in her eyes. The way the little girl looked when she was crying was particularly heartbreaking.

Delmont felt a heart-wrenching feeling. He raised his big hands and wiped his daughter's tears. His actions instantly warmed Eira's heart.

"Dad, why don't you tell my sister that you're also my dad?" she asked timidly.

Delmont was speechless. He had no way to answer this question. After he and Joy got married, the two of them had worked together to build their business. Joy treated him extremely well and she had no other requests, she even reminded him when he was late to give money to Eira every month. However, Joy only had one request, which was to not tell Brooke that her father had an ex-wife and a child. Joy only hoped that their little family could be happy. She hoped that her child would be affected by his former family as her child was innocent, after all. This request was originally nothing to Delmont. After all, the chances of the two children meeting was very slim and was close to none.

Brooke was already six years old, but this was her first time meeting her sister. Before this, Delmont had never felt that it would amount to anything. However, when Brooke saw Eira calling him as her dad that morning by chance, Delmont also felt a little awkward. At that moment, he truly was afraid that Brooke would be hurt. This daughter of his was a little angel. She had always loved laughing growing up. she was only a six-year-old child, but she was already outstanding in all aspects, and she loved to help others and protect little animals. Delmont loved his youngest daughter very much, so when Brooke called Eira a beggar, Delmont did not object. He just wanted to hide the truth from Brooke.

When Eira asked Delmont that, Delmont pondered for a very long time. Then, he squatted down to slowly explain to Eira. "Eira, let me tell you this. You're two years older than Brooke. You are her older sister. Do you understand?"

Eira nodded. "I understand, Dad. Being the older sister, I have to give in to her."

Chapter 1897 Delmont instantly smiled. "That's my good girl. It's best if you can be understanding. When I got married to your Aunt Joy, your sister was not born yet. She is innocent. From what she understands, I only have her and her mother, she is not quite able to accept other people, so I concealed the fact that you existed. Which means...Brooke doesn't know that you are also my daughter. If she found out, she would be sad. You are different from her because you already knew she existed since she was born. However, Brooke came later, so she didn't know that you existed. Brooke.Js also very innocent. Can you understand?"

Eira nodded. "I can, Dad."

"Mm-hmm. That's my good girl."

"Dad," Eira called out.

"Yes, what's the matter? Do you have any other requests? You can tell me. I will do my best to make it happen for you." Delmont also felt very guilty towards this daughter of his.

Eira bit her lips. "Dad, do you acknowledge me as your daughter?"

Delmont immediately put Eira in his arms. "Silly girl! If I don't acknowledge you as my daughter, then how could I give you a thousand dollars every month? How could I take you out to buy clothes? The fact that you are my daughter cannot be changed. Aren't you silly?"

Eira instantly smiled, she felt a warm feeling. Her father had never been this nice to her. Her father bought her clothes, bought her new shoes, and even put her in his arms.

"Dad, can you...give me another thousand dollars?" asked Eira again.

"Of course, no problem!" Because Delmont felt guilty towards Eira, he immediately took out 1,000 dollars, rolled it into a small roll and put it in Eira's pocket.

In the past, Delmont would strictly control the living expenses he gave to Eira. The reason was that Eira was living with her mother and Malvolio. Delmont had the obligation to support his daughter, but he had not his ex-wife and the son his ex-wife had with someone else. No matter how much money had, he could not let outsiders spend it. However, it was different that day.

Delmont was afraid Eira's mind was also hurt, so he deliberately consoled her. "Forgive your sister, arlight?" asked Delmont.

Eira nodded. "Don't worry, Dad. I am the older sister. I will indulge her."

"You're truly my good girl. Come on. г 11 take you downstairs, and then drive you home, alright?"

Eira nodded again. "Thankyou, Dad."

She felt that it was enough for her to have her father cared for her like that, she was already extremely happy. She felt that she was very blessed that day. she followed her father downstairs, and she took the initiative to come to the front of Brooke. "Brooke, thank you for being so nice to me today. I don't mind you stepping on my shoes and making them dirty. I'll wipe them when I get home, and it'll be fine."

"Hmph!" Brooke was still angry. "You're still dirty even if you're wearing new clothes! Your hair is so dirty that it smells! A headful of lice is falling out of your hair! You're so dirty! Don't come near me!" Brooke then made a face at Eira.

It so happened that Delmont had brought the car over at that moment. He parked the car, opened the door, and then said, "Eira, get in and sit at the back..." When Brooke heard that, she instantly became infuriated. "Dad, don't let her sit in our car! She is so dirty! She has a headful of lice! What happens if the louse on her head fell into our car? Let her get lost by herself!"

"Brooke! You've gone too much!" Joy suddenly scolded.

"Mom, you're bad!" Brooke then burst into tears as she felt aggrieved.

Joy immediately squatted and coaxed Brooke patiently, "Baby, don't cry. Baby, don't cry. Let me tell you. Unlike you, she doesn't have an extravagant home and her own little room. You even have a bathtub in your little room, she is very poor.

Therefore, she can't shower every day. That's why she has lice. You have to apologize to her."

There was an endless sense of superiority in those words. Eira, who was originally feeling warm and fuzzy, suddenly became incomparably inferior.

At that moment, Delmont also came to the front of Brooke to coax her, "Alright, fine. I won't send her anymore."

Eira was speechless.

Chapter 1898 she looked at the family of three, what a happy and harmonious family of three. They were a family while Eira, on the other hand, was truly a beggar, she turned around and left silently.

As Delmont was about to tell Eira to go home on her own, she was already gone. The eight- year-old child did not know how to get home by herself. After walking for a very long time, she found a phone booth. After she had persuaded the man in the phone booth with all the reasons she could think of, he finally let her make a call. She did not dare to let the cash in her pocket be exposed as she was afraid she would be robbed. That money was practically the lifeline for her entire family.

The call was made to the store downstairs from where Eira, her brother, and their mother were living. Once the call got through, Eira immediately said, "Mister Wilson, could you please help call for my brother?"

Her brother went down very quickly and picked up the call. Once he heard Eira was not able to find her way home, he quickly took the bus and came to pick her up. Eira did not tell her brother how upset she was after she saw how happy her father, his wife and their daughter were together, she just gave her brother the thousand dollars she had gotten from her father.

Because they had an additional thousand dollars, the lives of Eira and her family of three became happy. Malvolio was very good at managing the household. After he had taken the money, he took two hundred dollars out and took his mother to the hospital for a checkup. After the doctor at the hospital looked at his mother, the doctor felt that had already recovered quite a lot, so she could just take medication at home. After that, they bought the medication. The remaining cash was enough for the family of three to get by.

After their mother's health had gradually improved, she started to repair trousers, alter clothes, and alter sleeves and so on in the small wooden shed downstairs. After their mother had a stable income of a few ten dollar bills, and on top of that, their mother was feeling better, so she could make three meals a day for the two children. From time to time, she could even bright Eira for a shower and a haircut. Gradually, Eira became clean. The little girl became more and more slender and elegant. Also, her brother had never mentioned discontinuing his studies anymore. 1 Just when the family of three's life became more and more stable, all of the houses in the neighborhood were going to be demolished. They had originally been renting their house, so it did not matter that much. However, the stall that Eira's mother had set up at the entrance of the neighborhood was illegal. If it was the entire neighborhood going to be demolished, not only will she suffer the losses of losing the small wooden shed, but she will not be able to continue her sewing and altering business anymore. Their mother was going to be jobless again. Once their mother became jobless, then the family of three would end up living in poverty again.

Both Eira and Malvolio had realized that their mother could not be idle. Once she had nothing to do or lost her job, her mother's condition would become serious. Eira, who was not yet eight years old, did not know that the reason her mother's condition would become serious once she lost her job was that she was worried that her two children could not get by, but Malvolio knew.

That year, in order to support the family, Malvolio dropped out of high school. Although Malvolio had very good grades, he no longer continued his studies. Malvolio, who was 18 then, got a job as a waiter at a high-end restaurant. Although it was a high-end restaurant, the salary for a normal waiter was not high. Not to mention that his sister had to go to school, and his mother was still sick. Therefore, Malvolio could not bear to eat out at noon, and he brought lunch from home to the restaurant every day.

Every Sunday, Eira would stay at home and prepare lunch for her brother, she would then send it to her brother at noon. This way, her brother did not need to eat the food that was made the night before. Once, it was a Sunday again, so Eira prepared a simple lunch and sent it to her brother.

Her brother was busy at that time, so Eira sat at the most inconspicuous corner of the restaurant and waited for her brother to take his lunch during his break.

It so happened that the pianist at the restaurant was playing a very beautiful tune. Eira was fully engrossed by it. Eira was still immersed in the music even after the pianist had finished playing the piece.

"Hi, my little friend." After he had finished the piece, the pianist came up to Eira and startled her.

Chapter 1899 "H-hello, I...I am here to deliver lunch to my brother. Am I...disrupting you guys?" The little girl was so frightened that she did not dare to look up. she had never been in and out of such high- end places for being a consumer, she was feeling incomparably nervous.

However, the pianist smiled gently. "Do you really like that piece just now?"

Eira nodded. "Mm-hmm."

"How do you feel after listening to it?" asked the pianist again.

Eira became a little less afraid of the pianist. The pianist seemed very gentle, so she raised her head and bravely expressed what she felt. "Well, it feels as if a stream had gently flowed by. It's very...very moisturizing."

There were very few adjectives that the child could think of, but her description was spot on. That was because the piece that the pianist had just played was "The Dream of Snow." This piece indeed made others feel such a cheerful and soothing feeling. It truly felt as if a stream had gently flowed past one's side.

The pianist bent over slightly and unintentionally saw the little girl's hand. "My little friend, your fingers are slender and straight. It’s really very rare to see such slender fingers like yours."

Eira immediately smiled when she heard someone praising her fingers. "Many of my classmates were very envious that my hands were very pretty."

"Mm-hmm." The pianist nodded. "Do you know what is suitable for fingers like yours to do?"

Eira shook her head. "I don’t know."

"Playing the piano. Well, also..." the pianist said.

Eira's expression immediately became gloomy. "If it's piano, then my family certainly can't afford for me to learn."

She had always wanted to learn a craft, but the additional lesson fee had always been very expensive, so she could not afford to learn. There was a pause before Eira looked at the pianist with a burning passion in her eyes, "Sir, other than playing the piano, what else is suitable for my hand to do?"

The pianist immediately stopped smiling. "This, I can’t tell you."

"Why?" Eira asked with disappointment.

"Because it's a bad thing," said the pianist.

"Bad thing?" Eira asked in puzzlement, and she became even more curious after that. "Sir, just tell me. I certainly won't do bad things. If you tell me, then I know what it is. I will never do things in the future. Don’t worry?" Eira told the pianist with conviction.

The pianist sighed. "My little friend, do you know that everything in this world has two sides to it.

This pair of hands of yours has a beauty and length that is rare to find. If you use your hands well, then you can produce the most beautiful notes in the world.

Besides, you have such a good sense when it comes to music. If you don't play the piano, it's a little...it's a shame. In addition..."

There was a pause before the pianist said gloomily, " Not only can this pair of hands play the piano, it would also be easier for this pair of hands to learn the skill of pickpocketing compared to the average person. II In fact, the pianist was also a pickpocket when he was a teenager. He had no particular intention in saying that or maybe he wanted to warn a child that since she could use her hands to create something beautiful, then she should not do bad things. That was all. However, what he said seemed to have inspired Eira.

Eira asked the pianist thoughtfully, "Sir, are you talking about being a thief?"

The pianist nodded. "My little friend, if you don’t have money to learn piano, you can come to me. I will teach you for free."

Eira smiled and said, "Thankyou, sir."

It so happened that her brother, Malvolio, had finished his morning shift at that moment. He came to the front of Eira, and the siblings immediately took their lunch and sat on the flower bed outside of the restaurant to eat.

"Malvolio, I have a way to get money," said Eira.

Chapter 1900 "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.
