"Give me a straight answer. Is the shift-filling arrangement okay or not?"
Cold, sharp hands clenched until they were sweaty.
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Guan Yuxi quickly stopped him.
"This is not something I can decide."
Even if someone is willing to fill in for another shift, it's not something anyone can do on their own.
Besides, Brother Lie and I couldn't just leave you like this; blood is thicker than water...
"I disowned that son of his a long time ago!"
"Who cares about her!"
Li Chunhua and Leng Lie said almost in unison.
After the mother and son finished speaking, they both stiffened their necks and turned their heads away.
Guan Yuxi: "......"
They are indeed mother and son; their reactions are exactly the same.
Leng Lie pulled Guan Yuxi inside and gave her a cold look.
"If that scoundrel wants it, let him come to me."
"Brother Lie..."
Guan Yuxi was about to try to persuade him.

"Could your mother have some kind of hidden reason?"
Li Chunhua's ending in the book is tragic.
She was beaten to death by Li Mod.
Leng Can and Leng Huan fared no better; they were locked in a room by their stepfather and starved to death.

Guan Yuxi guessed that the person he was talking about was his father.
Because she had heard the rumors in the village when she was very young.
It is said that Li Chunhua's affair was discovered by her husband.
The two had an argument, and in a fit of anger, she accidentally pushed her husband into the well, where he drowned.
Some say that Leng Lie's father couldn't stand being paraded through the streets and criticized every day, so he jumped into a well.
He sat indifferently in front of the stove, as lonely as a wounded little animal.
"You've heard all those rumors about our family, haven't you?"
“Those people were right, my father was pushed into the well by Li Chunhua and drowned.”
"I saw it with my own eyes..."
