She glanced at Yueyue's clothes and an idea came to her.
"Actually, Mom has never told you that the clothes you wear are made with money sent by Dad. Look at other children's families, even though their fathers are around, they can't eat and wear new clothes every day, right?"
Yangyang's eyes darted around; what her mother said seemed to make some sense.
Even children from well-off families don't get new clothes every day.
There are two children in their family, him and his sister. If their father doesn't go out to earn money, they will indeed go hungry.
“When you and your sister get older, you’ll need to go to school. You’ll need money for school, clothes, food, and everything else. Our Shu family isn’t what it used to be. Now, your father has to earn more so that when he gets old, all these burdens will fall on your shoulders.”
Shu Ying squeezed his short, chubby little hand: "Mom will take you to find Dad in the next couple of days. Then our family will never be separated again. Mom can promise you that when you see Dad, you will really like him."
Yangyang's bright eyes darted around, and he snorted, "I don't believe it. Although he does work very hard, has he not had a single day off in all these years? I've never seen him. Even if he likes me, I won't like him."
After saying that, he glanced at Shu Ying again, seemingly waiting for her to say a few more nice words to change his mind.
Shu Ying saw through his little scheme: "Then you'd better not regret it later."
Yangyang raised his chin even higher: "I definitely won't regret it, little sister. Anyway, I'm going to be at odds with Dad. When the showdown between us men begins, who will you choose? Me or Dad? You can only choose one. Tell me now."
His soft, childlike voice also carried a hint of menacing danger.
Yueyue was dumbfounded: "Huh? Brother, what is a duel between men?"
Why can't she understand what her brother is saying?
Yangyang waved his hand dismissively, not really understanding either.
"Anyway, well, that's not important. Yueyue, just tell me who you choose?"
Shu Ying couldn't help but chuckle. The two children hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she went to the kitchen. There was still some chicken soup left over from yesterday. A bowl of chicken soup noodles in the morning was the most comforting thing.
Shu Ying worked quickly, putting the noodles into the chicken soup and frying a few eggs, the aroma wafting from the kitchen.
A short while later, Shu Ying came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodles.
"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Come on and eat breakfast first. Mom has to go do something else later. Be good."
Seeing the delicious food, the two children's mouths watered.
Yangyang has been eating a lot lately, and he ran towards Shuying.
"Mom's noodles are the most delicious, and the eggs are so tasty too. Mom, you should eat some too."
Although Yangyang is a boy, he is more thoughtful. Watching the two children eat so heartily, Shuying felt a sense of satisfaction.
"There's plenty left in the kitchen. Mom will eat it herself. You all eat quickly."
Her gaze fell on Yangyang. Although the little guy was only a few years old, his features already resembled Xie Zhiyan's.
He resisted Xie Zhiyan so much, yet of his two children, he was the one who resembled Xie Zhiyan the most.
