"Yes, yes, I'm wrong, I'm wrong." Shi Zengyue hinted at Shi Wangting, his eyes almost blinking.
Shi Wangting then reluctantly said, "Dad, I was wrong. I promise there won't be a next time."
"You dare to mention next time to me!" Shi Qingyuan glared at him fiercely.
Shi Wangting was quite timid. After being glared at like that, he lowered his head and dared not say anything.
Seeing that Shi Qingyuan's arrogance had obviously subsided, Tao Wenwen walked around him and went to Shi Wangting's bedside. Just as he was about to return the torn notebook to him, Shi Qingyuan said again, "Don't give it back to him!"
Tao Wenwen's hand, which was about to be extended, and Shi Wangting's hand, which was about to be taken, both stopped in mid-air.
Shi Qingyuan said, "In order to prevent this from happening again, no one is allowed to return this notebook to him before next month. If anyone disobeys, I will see it, hehe...!"
Hehe means Shi Qingyuan is extremely angry.
When the four brothers made mistakes when they were young, they would be punished immediately as long as Shi Qingyuan made a chuckle.
This custom is still retained until now.
The brothers are all adults now, so they are of course not afraid when they hear Shi Qingyuan's "haha". Most of the time, they cooperate with Shi Qingyuan.
Just like now, the two brothers were timid and didn't say anything, but what they were thinking in their hearts was that there were only a few days left until the end of the month, and as long as they didn't quarrel, everything could be discussed.
Shi Qingyuan was still soft-hearted. After his momentary anger subsided, he certainly couldn't bear to destroy Shi Wangting's hard work, but he felt sorry for his health and had to scare him.
Tao Wenwen was wondering whether to give it or not, and hesitated for a moment.
Shi Qingyuan looked at his two sons and then at Tao Wenwen, and said, "Just keep it. When I allow you to return the book to him one day, you can take it out then."
Shi Wangting had not yet recovered from the torn notebook. Thinking that there was no guarantee if he kept it with Shi Qingyuan, it would be safer to keep it with Tao Wenwen, so he did not object.
Shi Zengyue was even more worried that the situation would get worse. The fourth child had already run away from home, and he absolutely couldn't let the second child run away as well. So when he heard Shi Qingyuan's words, he agreed more enthusiastically than Shi Wangting, "Yes, put it on Wenwen so no one can touch it. It's the safest."
Tao Wenwen couldn't understand how this thing ended up in her hands after just a few words.
She deliberately glanced at Shi Wangting, who met her gaze awkwardly and said, "Just keep it. I believe you can take good care of it."
After all, at that critical moment just now, it was she who acted in time to save the book.
When Tao Wenwen heard the master say this in person, he didn't ask any more questions and grabbed the notebook to take it back to his room.
Wang Xiaomin came back from buying groceries and carried them into the kitchen. When she heard the noise upstairs, she followed them up. Seeing their unusual expressions, she asked curiously, "Why are their faces so gloomy?"
Shi Wangting was embarrassed to speak up because he had not only failed in his undertaking but also fainted from exhaustion.
Shi Qingyuan's face was gloomy and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Aunt Min, it's nothing. It's just a small matter that has been taken care of." Shi Zengyue also knew Shi Wangting. Everyone wants to save face. If it were him, he might be too embarrassed to speak up, so he concealed it for him.
Since they didn't say anything, Wang Xiaomin could only look at Tao Wenwen and asked, "You tell me."
Shi Wangting looked at Tao Wenwen nervously.
Tao Wenwen met his gaze again, and after receiving the meaning in his eyes, she calmly put her hands behind her back and said calmly, "Oh, nothing. I just told them that I'm going home today."
