Hearing this, Li Qiao's eyes focused on the girl, looking at her small hands that were black because of the tung oil juice, his eyes softened quietly.
"good."
But on second thought, such a dry compliment seems too fake.
After all, if such a large pile of tung fruits is processed well, it can be sold for at least three to five yuan, which is equivalent to the team's dividends for half a year.
Then he spoke again, "Tomorrow I'll exchange the tung nuts for money and bring back some eggs to supplement your diet."
"Auntie, I don't eat eggs. I want to go to school." Shu Miao was hesitating how to start the conversation. Upon hearing this, he suddenly raised his eyes and cast a firm gaze at her.
When hearing the first half of the sentence, Li Qiao showed a rare smile of relief, but the next second all the emotions froze on her face.
Shu Miao saw the faint smile on her face gradually disappear. Although he felt a little nervous, he remained calm.

Just when Li Qiao made up her mind to speak, Shu Zili yelled out and hugged her thighs and shook them.
"Mom~ My sister picked up all these tung fruits by herself. They're worth a lot of money. Just let her go to school~"
Those trees are hidden very deeply. As long as we are careful not to let others find them, we can pick some every year, which is enough to pay for my sister's schooling.
Mom, I beg you, just let her go to school~
Please~"
Shu Zili was so busy begging for mercy that he didn't notice his mother's increasingly dark face, and he continued to act coquettishly and foolishly.
