After waving goodbye to Jianshu, Wu Xiufang pushed open the gate and walked in.

"Mom, you're back!" The children who had been looking forward to it all morning were so happy to see her that they ran out to greet her.

Wu Xiufang was somewhat flattered but also somewhat confused, "What's wrong with you? Are you so happy just because I'm back?" She had been out before, so why didn't she get the same treatment today?

The eldest brother of the Zhao family winked at his sister. Yaya immediately understood the tacit understanding between the brother and sister. It was time for her, the caring little girl, to take the stage.

"Mom, I just miss you!" Yaya hugged Wu Xiufang's arm and started to act coquettishly, her voice so sweet that it was sickening.

Everyone present couldn't help but shiver. Wu Xiufang couldn't stand her daughter's enthusiasm and felt like she was getting goosebumps.

"Speak properly and don't try to fool me."

"Mom——" Yaya refused.

At this time, the eldest son of the Zhao family came out to smooth things over. "Okay, okay, Mom must be tired after just coming back. Go in and rest for a while. Give me the things."

After saying that, he took the bags of things from Wu Xiufang's hands. Others also rushed to help, and in the end everyone got something.

Wu Xiufang walked in empty-handed, surrounded by children, with a smile on her face all the time.

"Mom, why did you buy so many things today?" The eldest son of the Zhao family exclaimed as he looked at the things in his hands. "There are so many snacks! Mom, why are you so generous?"

Wu Xiufang's smile froze and she glared at him fiercely, "What are you talking about? Have I treated you badly before?" This little bastard just can't speak. He will definitely suffer when he grows up.

"No, it's just..." The second son of the Zhao family was outspoken and wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

The eldest brother of the Zhao family stepped hard on his younger brother's foot and said, "Third brother, what did mother buy us before? Don't you remember what I told you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the second son of the Zhao family immediately shut up.

The eldest brother said that Mom had a hard life in the past and he couldn't make her angry. If she was unhappy, their family would be gone.

Wu Xiufang discovered something was wrong. These children had been acting strangely since she came back. They were a little too enthusiastic. Even Tiedan, who was usually the most mischievous and always causing trouble, was very well-behaved today. Even the second child had changed his temper. There must be a reason for this.

"Tell me the truth, what have you been up to today? You diverted me before, don't try to hide it from me now." Wu Xiufang didn't even pack her things and looked at them with a serious expression.

The children immediately shut their mouths tightly and didn't say a word.

"Hurry up and tell me, don't try to hide it, or we'll waste time together." Anyway, she was free now and had plenty of time. Moreover, she was very interested in what they were hiding from her.

Yaya is young and the most impatient. She is usually favored. Seeing her mother's serious expression, she was immediately frightened and spilled the beans. "Mom, big brother said you don't miss dad anymore, so do you not want us either? Please don't leave. I want mom!"

Then he burst into tears, "Wow—I want Mommy! Mommy won't leave!"

Wu Xiufang's expression changed instantly, she was very confused. What was going on? When did she stop wanting them?

Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, she quickly hugged her and comforted her, "Don't cry, Yaya, how could mother not want you? Mother will not leave, be good, don't cry!"

"Really?" Hearing that her mother was not leaving, Yaya's crying became softer and she asked with sobs.

"Of course!" Wu Xiufang nodded, then looked at the culprit. "Zhao Shitou, tell me, where did you hear that rumor that I don't want you anymore? Look how sad your sister is! What nonsense!"

"Mom, are you really not leaving? Didn't you say you wanted to divorce Dad?" The eldest son of the Zhao family still didn't quite believe it and thought his mother was just temporarily appeasing them.

Wu Xiufang's mouth twitched. "Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with your father?"

"I didn't mean to do that. I just accidentally overheard a few words when I came to get something." The eldest son of the Zhao family explained. He just happened to pass by and heard her mother talking about "divorce" and "children". Combined with his mother's previous abnormality, didn't he make this association?

Otherwise, why did his mother suddenly ask them to do the housework themselves? Wasn't it to train them because she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to take care of themselves after she left?

After hearing his explanation, Wu Xiufang felt that it was hard to put it into words. How could she explain it? He had imagined so much based on just a few words. The logic was quite smooth, especially when combined with her asking them to do their own housework, which formed a complete circle. This really made her at a loss for words.

"You only heard about the divorce, but didn't you hear me tell your dad that I would take you away with me? You didn't even hear everything I said, and you just talked nonsense in front of your brothers and sisters. And you all believe everything I say. Don't let yourself be sold one day and have to help count the money!" Wu Xiufang tapped the bastards' foreheads in annoyance.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong!" The eldest son of the Zhao family decisively admitted his mistake and apologized to his brothers and sisters. Then he looked up and carefully observed her expression. "Mom, do you really want to divorce Dad?"

Wu Xiufang didn't answer his question directly, but raised an eyebrow. "Why, you don't want me to divorce your father? Then if I really want to divorce your father, who will you divorce?"

"Of course I'll follow Mom!" The eldest son of the Zhao family made his choice without hesitation. Then he spoke with some hesitation, "But do you really want to separate from Dad? Dad is a good person. Isn't it good for us to be together as a family?"
