Jiang Ruyi didn't get to drink the fish soup in the end.

That damn scumbag dad had already braised the fish while Liu Chunhua was cleaning up, and then he took out some sorghum wine from the cupboard and drank it all by himself.

Jiang Zhize, who was standing by, muttered quietly, "This is for my sister," but he couldn't help but dipped his chopsticks into the grilled fish sauce and slurped it happily.

"I can't even get through this day." Jiang Ruyi was upset after hearing all this noise, and turned to Liu Chunhua and said, "By the way, did you remember what I told you?"

"Don't worry, Mom has already asked someone to pass on the message. We will go there in person in a few days."

Earlier at the market, Jiang Ru noticed that the raw tofu was in great demand, so he immediately asked Liu Chunhua to contact the villagers of Tieniu Village to make reservations.

"It's just that the tofu will take a few days to ferment. What should I do during these few days?"

[Of course, it’s to welcome your precious second son. ]

Jiang Ruyi moved her fingers and calculated the time. Her good second brother should be back soon.

Sure enough, at sunrise the next day, the young boy’s childish voice was heard outside.

"Dad, Mom, open the door, I'm back."

Liu Chunhua quickly gathered her coat and stood up. She was still puzzled until she saw her second son in person. The second son was studying in the county, and it was very troublesome to travel back and forth. Except for the winter and summer vacations, he would only come back occasionally during holidays. Recently, there was no New Year or festival, so why did the second son come back?

"Why are you back at this time?" Jiang Zhize was quick and opened the gate before Liu Chunhua. Jiang Chao heard the noise and followed him out from the inner room. The whole family gathered together and stared at the young man in front of them with wide eyes.

Jiang Ruyi was also watching from the side. The young man was thin and although his appearance was acceptable, he had a sinister aura around him, which made him look a little weak.

[Oh my, how can such a skinny guy commit manslaughter in the future?] Jiang Ruyi clicked her tongue in her heart.

Liu Chunhua's expression changed again and again. She stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Zhishun's arm. "Speak up, why are you back? Did you get into trouble at school?"

"No, no, why are you so excited?"

Jiang Zhishun was dissatisfied with Liu Chunhua's rude behavior and pulled his arm back forcefully.

Jiang Ruyi also said to Liu Chunhua in her heart, "Don't worry, he hasn't gone to extremes yet, be careful not to scare him."

Liu Chunhua finally relaxed, and when she saw that his shoes were worn out, she felt distressed, "Then how did you get back? Did you walk back? The buses haven't started to go to work yet this early in the morning, and you..."

"Okay, can you stop nagging me?" Jiang Zhishun had read some books and had always looked down on his mother who couldn't read a single word. His disdain was written all over his face. "I came back to see my sister, not to see you."

These words were so horrifying that Jiang Ruyi's little face showed a hint of surprise.

Jiang Zhishun's eyes saw this vivid scene, and the sinister look in his eyes actually dissipated a little.

this?

Jiang Ruyi couldn't believe it, and gently touched her cheek with one hand. Jiang Zhishun looked at this delicate little sister, as if he had made up his mind, "I came back to inform you that I won't study anymore."

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Liu Chunhua and Jiang Chao rushed forward at the same time. Jiang Chao's reaction was particularly fierce. He wanted to grab Jiang Zhishun's hair directly, "Little bastard, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know!" Jiang Zhishun looked unconvinced, looking up with a stubborn look on his face, "My family is already poor, and now I have a younger sister. What good will it do if I study? Once I leave this village, I'm still not a village anymore. I'll never be able to make a name for myself!"

"You farted!"

With a "slap", Jiang Chao slapped Jiang Zhishun in the face. The sudden scene also stunned the others.

Jiang Chao pointed at him and cursed, "If you don't study, what can you do? With your small body, it would be difficult for you to herd cattle! I worked so hard to send you to school, and you learned these rubbish things?"

Liu Chunhua was in mixed feelings. Ever since she gave birth to three children, Jiang Chao had always been a hands-off boss. This was the first time she saw him taking on the responsibility of a father and educating his children.

Maybe... he wasn't so hopeless? If she just tried harder, he would still miss this family?

[Don't dream, he didn't do this for you. ]

Jiang Ruyi ruthlessly shattered Liu Chunhua's fantasy. In fact, the reason why Jiang Chao reacted so strongly to this matter was entirely out of instinct.

No matter how dumb he is, he knows that only by studying can one have a future. Jiang Zhize is no longer a good person, so of course he has to rely on Jiang Zhishun. As long as Jiang Zhishun does well in the future, why would he worry about not having a good life for himself?

Liu Chunhua's heart instantly sank to the bottom, but she no longer had the energy to care about these things. She took two steps forward and pulled Jiang Zhishun to her side, "Talk to your mother, what happened?"

"What's the matter? I've already said that I don't want to read it anymore! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Jiang Zhishun insisted that he just wanted to earn some money to supplement the family expenses for his sister and the family. His righteous look was simply applauded by everyone.

If Jiang Ruyi didn't know the truth of the matter, she would have been convinced by his superb acting skills.

[You touched his trouser pocket and found a school penalty ticket! ]

As soon as Jiang Ruyi finished speaking, Liu Chunhua suddenly reached for her trousers. Jiang Zhishun wanted to stop her but was a step too late. He watched Liu Chunhua take out the things.

"How did you..." Jiang Zhishun was stunned. Wasn't his mother always slow and stupid? How did she know that he had something hidden in his pocket?

"Boss, come and see what this is!" Liu Chunhua stuffed the list to her eldest son who was watching the show nearby.

Although the eldest child had read less than the second child, he still recognized a few words. When he saw what was written on the list, he immediately screamed in surprise!

"Mom! This is a penalty ticket! My second son stole a classmate's pen at school and broke it. Not only did the school give him a demerit, but he also had to pay the price for it!"

"What? You stole something at school?"

Liu Chunhua was extremely disappointed. She had always thought that no matter how bad or rotten this family was, Jiang Zhishun was a scholar after all and would always understand right and wrong.

But now, her second son, whom she valued the most, did such a despicable thing!

"No wonder he wanted to drop out of school. It turned out he was afraid that we would know that he stole something! He probably couldn't afford to pay the money back, so he ran away from school overnight!"

Jiang Zhize was gloating. Although he and Jiang Zhishun were brothers, Jiang Zhishun was able to study in school while he could only be a second-rate student. He was very dissatisfied.

Now that he had finally caught his fault, Jiang Zhize was determined to give him a good beating no matter what.
