"No, we can't keep this. We have to return it to them." With that, Wan Guihua took off her apron, picked up the things, and walked out.

Seeing this, Shen Dahe quickly reached out to stop his mother. "Mom, I already said I don't want it anymore. My second and third brothers have already taken two portions. If I take more, it will be three portions for our family. But Chen Zhiqing won't let me. She said that if I don't take it, she and Zhong Zhiqing will personally bring it to me tonight. She also said that she still needs to tidy up the house and can only bring the things tonight. She also asked me if the village is safe, and whether it's safe for two young girls like her to walk alone at night. Mom, I'm just worried that the two young girls might come over at night, that's why..."

Shen Dahe's voice grew softer and softer, until finally he didn't even dare to look at his mother.

When Wan Guihua heard that her other two sons had also taken something, she rushed to look at the bamboo baskets they had just brought back. Seeing that each basket contained a pound of meat and two pounds of rice, her face darkened even more. She grabbed a rice scoop and was about to confront her two sons.

Although he was annoyed that his two younger brothers were being dishonest and knew he would be scolded for bringing the things back, those two little brats didn't say a word to him and just waited for him to bring the things back so they could be scolded.

But as the eldest brother, he's used to taking care of his younger brothers since they were little. He's already been scolded, so he shouldn't let his two younger brothers get scolded again.

So he hurriedly stopped his mother and persuaded her, "Mom, you've already accepted these things, so don't be angry. We have an old hen that's not laying eggs, right? I'll send them to Chen Zhiqing and the others later as a return gift. Besides, Chen Zhiqing and Zhong Zhiqing will be living in our village in the future, so we'll take care of them more. What do you say?"

Wan Guihua was from the fourth squad. She had some contact with Chen Shuning these past few days and knew a bit about the girl's temper. Thinking that what her son said made sense, she gave up the idea of ​​returning the things.

Shen Dahe was sent to the backyard to catch a chicken and deliver it to Chen Shuning.

Shen Dahe naturally had no objection. He hurriedly went to the backyard to catch a chicken, and when he came out, he didn't forget to tell his mother, "Mom, Chen Zhiqing only gave me half a pound more rock sugar than usual. If anyone asks you about it later, don't tell anyone."

Glaring at her silly son, Wan Guihua said irritably, "Alright, do you need to teach me this? Hurry up and take the chicken to Chen Zhiqing. Ask her first, and if she's too scared to kill it, then kill it for her there and come back."

At home, Wan Guihua was like an empress dowager. Shen Dahe dared not disobey her. He agreed as he ran out, as if afraid of angering his mother if he was too slow.
