After shouting, he remembered that the candy he found was missing earlier that day, and shouted outside again, "Mom, my second brother must have stolen the candy from home!"
Zhang Sumei knew that Fuxing's son was talking nonsense this time. After all, the candy was limited, and Lao Liu had been staying in the house the whole time. The kid would have to have the ability to steal it.
Besides, she has all the keys. How could that kid possibly pick the lock with his bare hands?
So she simply said, "Ping'er, don't talk nonsense. Your second brother wouldn't do such a thing."
Zhang Sumei wanted to attribute that word to the twins, but she knew that doing so would not do her any good.
Therefore, she did not do anything that would harm others without benefiting herself; she simply tried other ways to suppress them.
She originally wanted to find these two jobs, or keep them at home doing chores.
But now that the other person has earned money on their own, she can no longer restrain them.
Since that's the case, she had to think of other ways, but definitely not this.
Unfortunately, Liu Shihua didn't know this. Hearing his mother say this, he felt a little ashamed. He thought to himself that his mother was actually good to them; she was all bark and no bite.
Isn't this just believing him without even asking?
But he and Lele hid the bag of candy. Wasn't that wrong?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard his younger sister's clear, crisp voice.
"Mom, when we delivered the grain today, Comrade Li returned the sugar to us. I was a little tempted, so I ate it all. Mom, you won't be mad at me, will you?"
Liu Shile originally didn't want to talk about this, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to hide such a thing.
After all, they all live in the same town. Who knows if her mother will bring this up later?
Wouldn't that implicate Comrade Li?
After hearing what Liu Shiping said, she simply ate the candy.
Anyway, she had already put the candy on the farm, so even if she didn't believe it, she wouldn't be able to find it.
Actually, she has quite a few of these things on her farm. After all, she has money, so how could she not buy some things for herself?
But she just didn't like her adoptive mother's way of doing things.
They brought back so many things, including their own, but this person showed no intention of giving them anything at all.
So why can't she put those things away? She paid for them!
She used to be able to do whatever her mother did, but now she doesn't want to spoil her like that anymore.
Why should I?
Look, my strong son needs extra food every day, and he does it in front of everyone.
She, who was in poor health, not only received no care whatsoever, but also had to do a lot of work.
She wasn't trying to compete with a child for food; she didn't need it. What she was unhappy about was her mother's entitled attitude.
She hadn't forgotten that this man had originally planned to marry her eldest sister off to a rural family, simply so that they would have more food to eat.
She didn't want to marry her daughter off to a rural area for such a ridiculous reason.
"What did you say? The candy was returned, and you were told to finish it?" Zhang Sumei originally thought her lucky son had misspoke, but she didn't expect it to be like this!
"Are you a pig? Those are family property. They returned them to you, and you didn't even take them back? How could you eat such precious things?"
Zhang Sumei was furious. She took a few big steps and stood in front of Liu Shile, raising her hand as if to hit her.
Ever since that brat changed, she's wanted to hit her and teach her a lesson several times.
She hadn't found a good opportunity until now, but this was an opportunity that had been handed to her by herself. She would be lucky not to seize this chance and give her a good beating!
Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Shihua struggled and broke free from her brother's hand, running into the yard.
Just then, Mom raised her hand to slap Lele across the face. Startled, Lele quickly said, "Mom, don't hit Lele, she's not well!"
His voice was quite loud, and Liu Weisong inside the room was anxious. Why did he start hitting someone?
Unfortunately, he couldn't move his legs either, and he hurriedly shouted outside, "Sumei, stop, stop! They're all just children. Can't you talk things out?"
Of course, Liu Shile didn't obediently stay there and wait to be beaten. She wasn't a masochist, and as for the so-called self-inflicted injury scheme, sorry, she didn't want to use it.
Zhang Sumei slapped Liu Shile with great force, causing Liu Shile to dodge to the side, resulting in her leaning forward and almost falling to the ground.
Upon hearing Liu Shih-hua and Liu Wei-song's words, he was instantly enraged. Just then, he saw a broom nearby, grabbed it, and started hitting Liu Shih-le.
Liu Shile wasn't going to just stand there and take the beating. As she ran, she said, "Mom, if you're going to hit me, you have to give me a reason! What kind of person hits someone just because you disagree with them?"
Her voice was quite loud. Although the neighbors were far away and couldn't hear her clearly, everyone had come back at this time. With nothing else to do, they came out to watch the excitement.
Seeing that she was so shameless, trying to attract attention by beating someone up, Zhang Sumei was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, pointed a broom at her, and shouted, "You, you..."
You spoke for a while but nothing came out.
Since she had already seen some people peeking around, could she say that it was because this spendthrift brat ate so much candy that she was heartbroken and wanted to hit someone?
cannot!
Never tell anyone about the good stuff we have at home!
She not only did this herself, but also reminded Fuxing's son. As for the others, she knew they weren't gossipy, so there was no need to remind them.
"Liu Shile, I think you're pretty capable. You're skipping dinner tonight!"
Zhang Sumei didn't hit anyone, and not wanting others to see the commotion at home, she simply stopped letting anyone eat, intending to starve her for a few meals to see if she knew what was going on!
At this point, she turned to her eldest daughter, who had just run out of the kitchen, and said, "Eldest daughter, if you dare to secretly make her food, you won't get to eat either!"
I see you've all grown up, your wings have hardened, and you've all started ganging up on this old man!
After saying that, she threw the broom on the ground, turned around and went into the house, where she began to cry and complain to Liu Weisong again.
They said things like her body was weak and she couldn't take care of her grown-up children, and so on.
The words that Liu Weisong was about to say were stuck in his throat.
Seeing her crying so miserably, Liu Weisong couldn't bring himself to say anything, even though he strongly disapproved of her actions.
When it came time to eat, Liu Shile didn't sit at the table; she didn't care for the bland porridge.
So what if I can't eat? Do you think I'm so great? My farm has plenty of delicious food, what's one more meal?
Ha, just kidding!
She closed the doors and windows, made sure no one was outside, and while everyone was eating, she ran to the farm to enjoy a delicious meal.
