The nonchalant tone in her voice made Liu Shiping extremely angry, made Liu Weisong blush, and made Zhang Sumei so angry she wanted to hit someone.
What kind of attitude is that?
Before Zhang Sumei could even react, she said leisurely, "Alright, it's all yours. I understand, right, Mom?"
Zhang Sumei's face turned red and then pale as she listened. She wanted to glare at her lucky son, but she couldn't bear to, as she had never been able to scold him.
She forced a smile and said, "Your younger brother is still young and can't speak, but the family really doesn't have much money to buy you new clothes. Just make do with the ones from last year."
Actually, they didn't have many clothes in previous years, and Liu Shile and Liu Shihua have grown quite a bit in this period of time. They can still wear their old clothes, but they are a bit too short.
Liu Shile secretly pursed her lips. It was fortunate that she hadn't expected her family to make clothes for them, otherwise she would have been disappointed again. But she still wanted to try.
So she blinked, a little embarrassed, and said, "But Mom, those clothes are a bit too small. Should we get them repaired?"
Liu Shixi couldn't stand it anymore. Taking care of dairy cows wasn't actually a heavy job. The main thing was feeding them and being busy in the morning. They were pretty idle most of the time.
So she said directly, "Lele, I'll help you refurbish your old clothes later. If they're too short, I'll patch them up. That's just how things are at home, there's nothing we can do about it."
She knew, of course, that Lele and the others had brought back a lot of nice things when they came back last time, but it wouldn't be easy to get those things from her mother.
She was afraid that if her younger sister said too much, she would anger their mother again, and the relationship that had just been eased would become strained again.
This time, Liu Shile didn't say anything more, but just smiled sweetly at her older sister and said, "Okay, thank you, big sister. I knew you were the best."
Her words made Zhang Sumei's heart clench with anger. If she had known that she was so easy to deal with, she wouldn't have said those unpleasant things.
But she reacted quickly, nodding immediately and saying, "Yes, your eldest sister's skills are quite good. With her helping you make some changes, Mom can rest assured."
Liu Shile didn't speak, but nodded with a half-smile and gave a forced thank you.
Zhang Sumei was furious at her attitude, but she couldn't really lash out because her husband was right there.
Liu Weisong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they hadn't started arguing. As long as they weren't arguing anymore, he was happy to see harmony in his home.
After the meal, Liu Shixi went outside to buy sesame seeds, while Liu Shile didn't sit idle either; she actually followed the instructions and started washing clothes.
Because the weather wasn't too cold at this time, the family didn't have many clothes left, and since there was a well in the house, she didn't need to go far to wash them.
Even so, she wasn't exactly honest; with a tearing sound, she ripped the clothes in her hand.
Zhang Sumei had just come out with her needle and thread when she heard this sound. She immediately looked over and saw that her son Fuxing's new clothes had been torn to shreds.
Her temper flared instantly. "Liu Shile, did you do this on purpose? You just tore up such a nice new dress like that?"
"Yes, you're absolutely right. I really did it on purpose," Liu Shile thought to herself, blinking.
But she couldn't admit it aloud; she just looked aggrieved and said, "Mom, you're wronging me. I washed it just like before. Maybe the clothes aren't very good quality. I'll try a different one..."
Before she could finish speaking, the clothes in her hands were changed, but they were still Liu Shiping's. Then, with a 'rip', the clothes were torn again.
"You, you, you still say you didn't do it on purpose?" Zhang Sumei was trembling with anger. Those were the new clothes she had just made for her precious son!
Liu Shile looked bewildered and said innocently, "Mom, I really didn't mean to. These clothes are so fragile. I just used a little force and they turned like this. If you don't believe me, I'll try another one."
After saying that, she picked up her clothes again, gently rubbed them, and then, well, they weren't spared either, they tore.
"Take your clothes and get out of here!" Zhang Sumei's face turned green with anger. If she washed them like this, would there be any intact clothes left today?
I was thinking of punishing her, but she actually tore her new clothes, which broke my heart!
Things aren't like they used to be; you can't always get new clothes these days. These two outfits were made from fabric that that brat and her friends brought back.
Looking at the torn clothes, Zhang Sumei glared at Liu Shile and went to wash them herself.
Liu Shile shrugged, picked up her own clothes and moved them aside to wash, saying regretfully as she did so, "I'll have to trouble you to mend my clothes again, sister. Sigh!"
Hearing about mending clothes, Zhang Sumei was so angry that her heart ached. She immediately yelled angrily, "Don't you have hands? You have to do everything for your older sister!"
You're such a grown woman, and you're still so lazy. Who would dare marry a lazy wife? Don't think that just because you've studied you're so capable. You won't get married if you can't do housework or cook!
In the past, when she said that, Liu Shile would feel very sad and inferior, and then go back to her room and silently shed tears.
Unfortunately, Liu Shile was not the original owner of this body, and said nonchalantly, "That's great! I'll live with my parents from now on. Mom, you won't dislike me, will you?"
Zhang Sumei: I despise you so much, I wish you would just disappear from this world!
As she thought this, the veins on her temples throbbed. Was this brat doing it on purpose?
Thinking of how infuriating she was, Zhang Sumei kept telling herself not to get angry, not to get angry, and not to fall for her tricks.
"Look at what you're saying, girl. No young lady lives at home all the time. If that were the case, our family would be drowned in people's spit."
Zhang Sumei held back for a moment, but finally couldn't help but say, "If this brat hadn't been lucky enough to get into high school, I would have definitely found a family far away to send her away!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Sumei's heart skipped a beat. How could she have been so foolish? She was so angry with her that she lost her mind. Even if she was in high school, she could still get engaged first!
Thinking this, she washed clothes while figuring out where to send this brat and what kind of family would be best.
She was preoccupied with these thoughts and ignored Liu Shile's feigned innocence.
Liu Shile noticed her reaction and raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly. Her cheap mother's reaction was abnormal. Could she be plotting something?
Could it be that she was overwhelmed by the shock, which caused her to have other ideas?
Unsure of Zhang Sumei's intentions, Liu Shile quickly washed her clothes, dried them, and went back inside to practice calligraphy, draw, and play.
Who cares what she's thinking? She just won't do what she wants.
Not long after they started practicing, they heard the eldest sister's cheerful voice. Liu Shile didn't stay in the room anymore and went to the kitchen with her. The two sisters then started making milk squares.
In the past, Zhang Sumei would have tried to get rid of Liu Shile, but today she was preoccupied with other things and didn't care about that.
