"What are you laughing at?" Li Ailan saw Zhou Qiao laughing and pouted, unhappy, "You've been working from dawn to dusk!"

Zhou Qiao didn't bother to pay attention to her and kept picking up food for Dachou and Erchou.

After dinner, Zhou Qiao asked Dachou and Erchou to take Li Ailan to Professor Wu, so as to avoid her being in front of her and annoying her!

Li Jinfeng stayed at Zhou Qiao's house at night and didn't have to leave.

As soon as Li Ailan left, Zhou Qiao started cleaning and busying herself with this and that.

"Oh, how pitiful these two children are. They have such a mother who can't do anything and leaves nothing for her.

That's fine, you say one thing and she has to retort. She doesn't know anything, but she has to act like she knows everything.

"Da Chou and Er Chou are so scared that they don't even dare to eat. You said they are skinny, but I heard from Ermao's father that they only get the cheapest dishes in the factory cafeteria, no more than 30 cents a day, and they are all vegetarian. They are in the growth stage, how can they bear it!"

Li Jinfeng didn't know about this, but her wife knew that Dachou and Erchou were quite frugal. They received 17 yuan in school living allowance every month, and they used the rest of the money on buying books after spending it on food.

"I'll talk to them and ask them to eat meat at least once every other day from now on," said Li Jinfeng.

"We need to talk it over! Also, how long will Li Ailan stay here? Don't let the two children's savings be used up!"

Zhou Qiao is a grandmother and she hates to see children suffer any injustice.

Especially those who are relatives of our family, we cannot bear it even more.

"Da Chou and Er Chou said it would only take two days at most! The two children still have school to go to. Originally, they planned to skip classes and take Li Ailan and me for a walk.

I don't need them to take me out. Li Ailan probably would just cause trouble and ask for trouble if she took her out, so I told them not to delay classes!"

Zhou Qiao gave Li Jinfeng a thumbs-up and said, "That's the way it should be, otherwise Li Ailan will be furious!"

Zhou Qiao guessed correctly.

After arriving at Professor Wu's house, Li Ailan started complaining.

I'm not complaining that the house is too small and not as good as a toilet in the countryside.

There is no yard around and you have to climb stairs, which is not convenient at all.

Finally, she yelled at Dachou and Erchou to give her money and take her to the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital to buy clothes.

Dachou and Erchou looked at each other, and there was helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Mom, how can we have money? Our family hasn't given us a penny since we started school."

Dachou means studying, not going to university.

The money for their studies was all given by Li Jinfeng.

Li Ailan: "Do you think I'm stupid? In previous Chinese New Years, your great-grandfather, a relative of the Li family, didn't give you any New Year's money?

I heard that college students eat for free. If they don’t have to pay for food, why do you have to spend money?

I'm your mother, hurry up and give me the money, otherwise when I return to the village, I'll accuse you two of being unfilial and heartless!"

Dachou had always been kind and gentle, but after listening to what Li Ailan said, he lost every bit of his good attitude.

"If you want to play in the provincial capital, we can take you there, and we can also help you with your meals.

"Buying clothes or anything like that is out of the question! Erchou and I don't have jobs yet, we don't have money, and we can't afford it!" said Dachou.

"You...you are not my sons, you are Li Jinfeng's sons, get out, all of you!"

Li Ailan drove her two sons out and fell on the bed in the room in anger.
