Two days later, on Saturday morning, Jiang Suisui and Song Weizhen left the school, carrying the seasonal fruits they bought on the road, and knocked on Professor Liang's door.

The moment they opened the door, they unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

"Are you here? Long time no see. Please come in!" Chen Zhenghua warmly invited them into the house.

Song Weizheng nodded to him and said, "Long time no see."

Jiang Suisui smiled and said, "Hello."

"You're welcome, come in." Chen Zhenghua greeted, "Yesterday I heard from the teacher that you guys were coming to dinner, so I shamelessly came over."

The people in the room also heard the sound at the door. Liang Sihui ran out of the kitchen in a hurry with a bunch of green onions in her hand, her eyes almost glued to Song Weizheng.

She said happily, "Brother Song, you are here! Come in and sit down. I will pour you some tea."

“No, no, no.” Jiang Suisui said quickly, “Thank you for your hard work. We can do it ourselves.”

Professor Liang also stood up and waved: "Wei Zheng, Sui Sui, come and sit down. Si Hui, you don't need to entertain us, there are so many people here."

"Okay..." Liang Sihui had no choice but to walk back to the kitchen, turning back every three steps, and shouted as she walked, "I'm going to cook. You can enjoy my cooking at noon!"

Professor Liang smiled and shook his head: "This child, I usually ask her to cook but she is never so active. She only knows how to show off when there are guests at home."

Jiang Suisui and Song Weizhen smiled slightly, speechless at Professor Liang's roughness.

Chen Zhenghua, who was standing by, noticed Liang Sihui's thoughts carefully. He paused while pouring the water and quickly changed the subject, saying, "I didn't expect that we would meet again after leaving Dayan Village. It can be considered a great fate."

This immediately triggered Professor Liang's conversation. He pulled the two of them aside and talked about the past with great emotion. He also asked about their recent situation in the past one or two years with great concern.

Liang Sihui slipped out again while the soup was cooking, and sat quietly by the side, listening with great interest.

When Liang Sihui accidentally heard Jiang Suishun calling her Professor Liang, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "My father has not been teaching at the school for a long time. Now he should be called Director Liang."

The tone was a bit stiff and a bit boastful.

Jiang Suinsui was stunned, with a look of surprise on her face. Song Weizheng frowned, his face a little cold.

"Sihui!" Professor Liang scolded, "They can call me whatever they want. I just like to hear people call me professor, what's wrong with that?"

Chen Zhenghua noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Both titles are fine, they both mean respect. I still can't get over the habit of calling you teacher."

Liang Sihui was embarrassed and complained quietly, "I just corrected the name, so what..."

Chen Zhenghua had no choice but to comfort her, "Junior sister, let's go to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready. Senior brother is also going to cook a few dishes today, can you help give some instructions?

Liang Sihui was reluctantly pulled back to the kitchen by Chen Zhenghua.

Professor Liang sighed, and said as if complaining but also as a way of resolving the situation: "Sihui will never grow up. She is not as sensible as you, Shunshun."

Jiang Suishun could only smile slightly and said nothing. Song Weizheng quietly held her hand and squeezed it gently. The two looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

·

When Jiang Suisui and Song Weizhen were visiting Professor Liang's house, Zhao Jiabao, who had made stealing jewelry a habit, was finally caught on the spot.

He sat with his head down and looking dejected. Standing in front of him were the two elders of the Zhao family who were looking at him with disappointment.

The two had suspected something before, so they planned to go out for a few days and then strike back to see if they could capture the person and the victim.

As a result, they were caught red-handed.

When she saw Zhao Jiabao using the replica key to open the box, take out the jewelry and put it in her pocket, Mrs. Zhao felt mixed emotions. She even wished she hadn't seen it, so she wouldn't be so disappointed.

Grandpa Zhao had a solemn expression. Although the Zhao family had experienced ups and downs over the years, they had never forgotten propriety, righteousness, integrity and honor. Who would have thought that in Zhao Jiabao's generation, there would be a thief in the family. How shameful!

If it weren't for his poor daughter, he would have broken Zhao Jiabao's legs!

"Tell me, when did you start taking? How much did you take? And why did you steal? Did we deprive you of food and drink, or did we not give you money? Jiabao, you really disappoint us..."

Zhao Jiabao wanted to struggle again: "Grandpa, grandma... I, I don't want to do that either... I have my reasons..."

His mind was working rapidly, but he still couldn't figure out how to make up a reason to fool the two elders of the Zhao family without exposing what he had done.

But before he could open his mouth, Mrs. Zhao asked, "Tell me the truth, Grandma, have you fallen in love with another girl out there and are you showing your affection to her?"

Zhao Jiabao was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said immediately: "I, I... I really am! I'm sorry, grandma!"

He covered his eyes and cried bitterly, confessing, "I was bewitched. She looked down on me and kept me hanging. I, I was impulsive and just wanted to give her something good to please her."

Old Madam Zhao was so angry that she said, "You are so useless! Why don't you tell us what kind of girl you want? We can introduce her to you! Why would you fall for such a superficial person? "

Zhao Jiabao quickly agreed and admitted his mistake with a positive attitude: "I was wrong, grandma, I shouldn't have done that! From now on, you will decide who I will find. I only trust your judgment."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to soften her heart, Mr. Zhao stepped forward and asked in a cold voice, "It's wrong, it's wrong, what are you talking about later! Make up for the mistake now. Bring back all the jewelry you took first."

Zhao Jiabao's body stiffened slightly, then he smiled flatteringly: "Grandpa, this... it's so ugly to take something back after giving it away... it shows that our Zhao family is petty. How about... forget it? I promise I won't do this again in the future!"

The old lady got angry again after hearing this: "How can you let it go?! Those are your mother's things! They were the dowry I prepared for her! No one can touch her things without my permission!"

Zhao Jiabao was shocked. He really didn't know about this. He had always thought that this was part of the old lady's fortune. So he was lucky that even if the old lady found out, he could just cry and beg, and she would be as soft-hearted as before.

What should I do now?

The old lady continued, "Those jewellery are rare and precious things. If you dare to give them to her, who would dare to accept them? If she is greedy for money, she must not be a good girl. Our Zhao family does not need to save face in front of such a person."

"You have to go now and get the things back. We can't let this matter go!" The old lady was hard-hearted, which was rare for her.

Zhao Jiabao was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his ears and cheeks. How could he continue to fool people?

Where is he going to get jewelry now?

At this moment, there was noise at the door and Zhao Weiguo came back from outside.

As soon as he took a look at the living room, he immediately frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

"Dad, Mom, what's going on?"

Zhao Jiabao became even more panicked. He opened his mouth and tried to fool the person, but the next moment he was glared back at by Zhao Weiguo. He quickly lowered his head and dared not say a word.

The two elders of the Zhao family sighed, thinking that they were getting older after all. They had spoiled Zhao Jiabao too much in the past, and now they were increasingly unable to control him. The person who was most capable of being the master of the family was still Zhao Weiguo.

So they told Zhao Weiguo everything that had happened in the past few days.

The more Zhao Weiguo listened, the uglier his expression became. His eyes were like sharp swords, almost piercing through Zhao Jiabao's guilty pretense.

Mrs. Zhao sighed and said, "Weiguo, wait until Jiabao gets his things back, and you will take care of him from now on. I won't be a problem anymore."

Zhao Jiabao said pitifully: "Grandma, please don't ignore me..."

At this moment, Zhao Weiguo suddenly shouted: "Zhao Jiabao!"

Zhao Jiabao was so frightened that he trembled and sat up immediately.

Zhao Weiguo walked slowly up to him, staring at him inch by inch with stern scrutiny in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through all his lies.

Zhao Jiabao always told lies without thinking, but under Zhao Weiguo's threat, he felt guilty and broke out in cold sweats.

After an unbearable silence, Zhao Weiguo suddenly asked, "Where is your jade pendant?"

Zhao Jiabao shuddered again and tried to say something to cover it up, but he found his voice was shaking as soon as he opened his mouth: "Jade, jade pendant... the jade pendant is placed somewhere else. I, I, I never like to wear, wear things around my neck, uncle, you, you know that too."

The two elders of the Zhao family didn't understand why Zhao Weiguo suddenly cared about the jade pendant: "Weiguo, Jiabao always said that it was uncomfortable to wear something around his neck, so he didn't wear it very often. We all know this."

Zhao Weiguo was unmoved. He said coldly, "Where did you put it? Take it out and let me see it."

Zhao Jiabao's forehead began to sweat. "I put it in the room. I can't remember exactly where it is. I'll look for it later. Ah——"

Before he could say anything, Zhao Weiguo suddenly grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up, looking ferocious and with a flushed face.

Zhao Weiguo: "I'll say it again, tell me the truth, where is the jade pendant? Is it in the house, or... did you give it away too!?"

The two elders of the Zhao family were both shocked when they heard this. They looked at Zhao Weiguo and then at Zhao Jiabao in disbelief, and were instantly panicked.

Zhao Jiabao felt uncomfortable because his collar was around his neck. After holding on for a while, he had to beg for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Yes, I sent him out..."

Zhao Weiguo loosened his hand, and Zhao Jiabao fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Mrs. Zhao came to her senses and suddenly stepped forward to grab Zhao Jiabao and slapped him hard, crying, "You spendthrift! You have no conscience! That is the only legacy your mother left you! How dare you take such a precious thing!"

Zhao Weiguo's words were cold and mocking: "A relic? He doesn't even want to wear it. How can it be precious to him? He has already started stealing things from your house. Do you still expect him to treasure the jade pendant?"

He even had doubts about Zhao Jiabao's statement that he gave jewelry to the girl. How could such a selfish and willful person give so much without reservation?
