Willow didn't even glance at Mrs. Phoenix; it was a waste of her eyes. For such a mother, she didn't get the respect she deserved. In her memory, after Mrs. Phoenix gave birth to several children, except for breastfeeding them for a few months, everything else was basically done by Mr. Sea.

Willow took Little Five and Little Six to the small river in front of the village. The weather was hot now, so it wouldn't be a problem to take a cold shower.

"Fourth sister, where are we going?" Little Five asked Willow.

"Let's take a bath in the river. After we wash clean, Fourth sister will give you some fruit. Now we are too dirty." The three siblings were similar, and they were so dirty that only their eyes could be seen rolling.

"Okay, Fourth sister, let's go quickly," the two children turned around and pulled Willow away. Willow didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The three of them walked to the river, and Willow found a place with good concealment and shallow water, which happened to be blocked by a clump of reeds.

Willow took the two children down, took off their dirty clothes, washed the two children's tattered clothes with soap beans, and then used the tattered clothes as a wash cloth to bathe them.

Of course, they washed their butts by themselves. The two little ones were already seven years old and should have known to be shy.

Willow asked Little Five while washing their hair: "Little Five, do you want to study?"

Little Five did not even think about it and immediately replied: "Yes, Fourth Sister, Little Five dreams of it. Not only Little Five, but also my elder brother, second brother and third brother. But Dad said that we are workers and studying is the business of my cousins. Fourth Sister, Little Five does not want to work all his life. Little Five wants to study." Little Five finished speaking and lowered his head to sip.

Willow hugged Little Five, stroked his head, and said softly: "Little Five, don't cry. Remember that you are a man. You can shed blood but not tears. When the rice is harvested, I will let my elder brother, second brother, third brother and Little Five go to school next year. If anyone says that you are workers again, I will get angry with them."

Willow really did not expect that Mr. Sea was so cowardly to the point of being outrageous. What kind of people are these two people?

She has no feelings for the couple. She is not the real Willow, and she has no sympathy for them. As long as they don't touch her bottom line, she won't care. No matter who it is in the future, as long as they don't provoke her, she will still be very gentle.

If one of them can be tough, these children will not live like beggars.

Little Five immediately wiped away his tears and looked up at Willow: "Really, Fourth Sister? Can we study?"

"Of course, Fourth Sister will not only let you have books to read, but also have enough food to eat every day, clothes to wear, and land to farm. But you also have to work hard and be an ambitious person. Fourth Sister does not ask you all to have fame and honor, but at least you should understand people's hearts, be able to speak and write, and at least you will not be deceived by others."

"Fourth Sister, can Little Six study?" Little Six asked Willow very seriously.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Little Six can, of course, but you can't go to private school, so let your brothers teach you."

"Yeah, yeah," Little Six nodded happily.

After washing their hair and taking a bath, Willow carried the two children to the shore, dried them, quickly put on their clothes, and straightened their hair with her hands.

Willow looked at Little Five and Little Six's washed faces, their features were handsome, and their bright eyes blinked, shining like stars.

After a bit of grooming, they instantly became like a different person. Although their clothes were still shabby, they didn't look like beggars at all. As long as they were patched up, they would definitely be beautiful dolls.

Willow took out fruits from the space, one for each of them. The two children opened their mouths in surprise when they saw that she had two fruits like a magic trick.

"Hush, Little Five and Little Six, this is the trick that Fourth Sister learned. Do you know why Fourth Sister doesn't go home often? That's because Fourth Sister met a master in the mountains. He saw that Fourth Sister was pitiful and smart, and then the master accepted me as an apprentice and taught Fourth Sister many things. Among them was this magic trick." Willow made another fruit appear in her hand, and then it suddenly disappeared. After several times of this, the two children felt that there was nothing to be curious about, and they took the fruit and ate it "crunch crunch."

"Fourth sister, this fruit is delicious," the two children said in unison.

Willow smiled, it really makes sense that twins have telepathy.

"Don't worry, fourth sister will make fruit for you every day in the future." Willow touched the hair of the two children, and it was not dripping.

The two children only knew to nod. They felt that the fourth sister was very different today. Usually, the fourth sister didn't like to go home and ignored them, but they felt that the fourth sister today was like their fourth sister.

Willow gave one to each of them, and told them to sit on the shore and wait for her. She went down to the river and took a good bath.

After washing, Willow sat on the shore and took out the fruit to eat. After tossing for a whole afternoon, she was hungry. There was no need to think about going back without food.

The three siblings dried their hair and tore the rotten clothes into strips. Little Five tied a small bun, and she and Little Six tied a ponytail each.

"Let's go back," the two children responded happily. They were not hungry anymore, so they didn't have to worry about not having food to eat when they returned.

Willow threw away the rotten clothes and walked back with one hand in each hand.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the Johnson family courtyard looked quite large from the outside, like a quadrangle courtyard, but it was covered with thatch. The gate of the courtyard was not strong and could be blown off by a strong wind.

Willow pushed open the gate of the courtyard. She had the urge to beat someone up. There were four people kneeling in a row in the courtyard, from big to small, from tall to short.

These four people were Mr. Sea and his sons, facing the upper room. In such hot weather, did they really want to kill them? No need to think that this was a masterpiece of Mrs. Olive.

"Little Five and Little Six, you two go and call the village chief grandfather quickly," Little Five and Little Six saw that it was their father and brothers, and ran to the village chief's house crying.

It just so happened that the village chief was Old John’s biological elder brother, so he asked him to come and take a look at these top-quality items.

Mr. Sea obviously couldn't hold on any longer, his body was swaying, and Aaron beside him immediately supported him.

Willow rushed forward, "Dad, big brother, second brother, third brother, what kind of treason have you committed? Kneeling here in the hot weather, are you trying to kill you?"

She glanced at the four men in front of her, skinny as a stick, with tattered clothes hanging loosely on their bodies. All of their faces were pale, and Mr. Sea was only 31 years old this year, but he looked as old as a 50-year-old man. The eldest, second, and third brothers were obviously 13 or 14 years old, but they looked like a 10-year-old.

The three brothers were not surprised by Willow's behavior, she was usually like this, there was nothing she dared not say, no one she dared not scold, if she could not beat anyone, she would dare to beat anyone.

Willow: "Big brother, come, put Dad down, second brother, go and get a bowl of water, third brother, go and get the grandfather, the fifth and sixth have already gone."

The three immediately did what the fourth brother said, they believed she had the courage.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Olive in the main room heard someone calling her village chief, she immediately jumped out, pointed at them and started scolding them.
