Chen Meihua gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay. At worst, I can use the family's living expenses first."
Fang Jianguo hesitated: "Is it possible?"
Chen Meihua whispered, "Haven't you noticed how fat the kids have gotten lately? Dad is just a bit harsh with words, but he won't neglect the family."
Fang Jianguo thought about it and it was true. Chen Xiao seemed to have grown taller recently.
"OK!"
Today is the weekend, and the two of them are having a day off. They decided to go to the market first. If you want to do good things, you have to buy good quality. You have to check it yourself before you can feel at ease. But when they arrived at the gate of the community, they saw a lot of people sitting here.
Fang Jianguo took a curious look and saw his father talking about something with a lively expression on his face. When the father and son's eyes met, Fang Jianguo had a bad feeling.
"Where are you two going?" Fang Zhiyi asked.
Everyone looked over, and Fang Jianguo was a little panicked for a moment. Chen Meihua replied, "Dad, let's go to the market to buy some new tools and a new schoolbag." She felt a little satisfied. So many people were here. If they knew what good things she had done, wouldn't they praise her?
Fang Zhiyi said, "Oh!" "Yes, I think Fang Xiao and the others should change their schoolbags too. You don't know, their bags are worn out. I told them to buy them new ones, but they refused, saying their parents would buy them."
"Mr. Fang, you've done enough. Your son and daughter-in-law are so filial, and your grandson is also sensible." Someone said.
Fang Zhiyi smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I was just wondering, how could parents not care if their children's clothes are so worn out and their backpacks are so worn out? Isn't that what a stepmother would do? Hahahaha."
Everyone laughed.
"Lao Fang, you're really interesting in your words. Aren't you afraid that Meihua will get angry?"
Fang Zhiyi said meaningfully: "She won't be angry, right?"
Chen Meihua's face flushed slightly. She had never thought about changing her child's schoolbag or anything like that. Facing Fang Zhiyi's words and the gazes of the neighbors, she nodded: "How could that be, Dad? You guys sit here, we have to hurry up."
She pulled Fang Jianguo along, fearing that Fang Zhiyi would say something if she was a few steps late.
That day, the three children were overjoyed looking at their new schoolbags, and for the first time, there were noises of joy in the house.
Chen Meihua looked at them with an unhappy expression. She even wanted to persuade the children to continue using their old schoolbags.
"Many children your age don't even have schoolbags. You should first learn to consider others' understanding, right?" She tried to keep her tone gentle. "We've taught you since you were little to learn to share."
Fang Xiao lowered his head, Fang Yang held on to the schoolbag tightly, and only the youngest Fang Yue was a little hesitant. She wanted to hand the schoolbag to her mother reluctantly.
Suddenly a voice interrupted them.
"You can't even take care of yourself, and yet you think about others first?" Several people looked up and saw the grandfather who was eating melon seeds.
Fang Zhiyi glanced at Chen Meihua, then came over and picked up Fang Yue. It must be said that this child had indeed gained a lot in the past period of time.
"Yueyue, tell grandpa, what do you think a good person is?"
"People like my parents are good people." Fang Yue answered after just thinking about it for a moment.
Fang Zhiyi shook his head: "How can you be a good person if you can't even live your own life and yet you pretend to be generous everywhere? For example... you really like this new schoolbag, right?"
