There was no choice but to carry the bucket home in shame.

It was almost evening when I got home. Li Xiujuan was at home, having taken a nap in the afternoon.

After Du Yingfan returned home in the afternoon, he drank some water. Because Li Xiujuan was sleeping and had not eaten anything, her complexion was not good.

"You just hang out outside. You don't even know how to make breakfast, and you want to be lazy about dinner. Do you want to wait until I'm done before coming back?" Li Xiujuan started scolding her as soon as she saw her.

She seemed not to notice the sweat on her head. She turned to look at Du Yingfan again, her face full of heartache: "Son, how are you today? Are you tired?"

"Mom, I'm hungry." Du Yingfan spoke quickly. He had been sitting and resting since he came back.

When Li Xiujuan heard this, she didn't bother to scold Jiang Sisi and hurried to the kitchen to cook.

They didn't have much money now, and there were only some vegetables and noodles at home, so Li Xiujuan cooked noodles again.

She and Du Yingfan both had full bowls, but Jiang Sisi only had a small bowl, not even full.

"Why is this all I have?" Jiang Sisi, who had been hungry for a day, was dissatisfied and asked immediately.

Li Xiujuan stayed at home all day and did nothing, yet she ate such a big bowl of food. How could she not die of hunger?

"You instigated me to come to the island to do business. Have you made any money? If you didn't make any money, how can you eat?" Li Xiujuan immediately scolded him.

Although their family is not considered rich in Xiguang Town, their life is much better than here. Why should they suffer such hardships?

"Today... I went too late and didn't find anything good."
