If you go too far, she won't care about your status.
However, her mother always did a good job of saving face, and this time they brought back a lot of things again.
Even if she has a lot of complaints, she probably won't say anything else besides that they're wasting money.
After all, no other family would send two underage children out to earn their own tuition fees.
"Big sister, she's our mother, why would we be angry? Niu Shuan is all set, let's go inside."
Even though Liu Shihua felt uncomfortable, she still had some expectations for family affection.
"Is it Shihua and Lele who are back? Have they both returned?"
With his leg injured, Liu Weisong lay on the bed covered with a straw mat, his face somewhat sallow, and asked his wife, who had come in, with concern.
"Yes, they're back. You used to worry about how hard they were doing out there."
You'll know when you see the two of them; they're living a very comfortable life outside!
No wonder it took you so long to think about going home; you must have been having so much fun out there that you forgot all about home!
Zhang Sumei was seething with anger, and seeing her husband still so concerned about those two only fueled her rage.
Didn't you notice that Pingping in her family has lost a lot of weight?
Why doesn't he worry about whether Pingping has eaten enough?
Knowing his wife's temperament, Liu Weisong didn't argue with her.
"Dad, Mom, we're back! Dad, does your leg still hurt?"
As soon as Liu Shihua entered the house, she put down the things she was carrying and asked about her father's leg.
I remembered that Mr. Hua said that my father's condition was best treated by going to a hospital in the city or a larger city for surgery, as he was not feeling well.
"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, how could it not hurt? You two heartless bastards!"
"You've been gone for over a month, and you even knew your dad hurt his leg?"
Zhang Sumei was furious when she saw that the two children didn't even ask about her when they came back, only about their father.
However, she couldn't bring it up in front of her husband, so she could only criticize them like this.
"Mom, are you feeling better? Lele and I were lucky this time."
When I came across someone selling dairy cows, I bought one.
That cow produces a lot of milk every day; even if our whole family drinks as much as we want, we probably couldn't finish it all.
It wasn't that Liu Shihua was talkative; rather, he saw that his sister wasn't going to speak, so he was the only one who could do it.
"You've worked so hard outside, why waste that money?"
"Our bodies are fine as they are, we don't need to drink such expensive things."
Liu Weisong was worldly-wise when he was young, so how could he not know what a dairy cow was?
I'm afraid these two children must have cost a considerable amount of money to acquire.
I just don't know what they did on this trip, how did they manage to buy dairy cows?
That stuff is not only expensive, but also very hard to find.
"That cow must be expensive, right? Where did you get so much money?"
Zhang Sumei had wanted to ask about this for a long time, but it wasn't convenient to ask outside. Now, however, she was determined to ask properly.
"We were lucky. We saved someone, and after hearing about our family situation, they sold us one at a low price."
This time, Liu Shihua lied without batting an eye.
"Yes, but because that person was injured and needed someone to take care of him, we stayed there for a while."
Liu Shile added, "In the end, he gave us a lot of things and also gave us fifty yuan as a thank you gift."
As she spoke, Liu Shihua took out fifty yuan and handed it to Zhang Sumei, saying, "Mom, please keep this money."
Zhang Sumei didn't believe their story. While accepting the money, she asked them, "Who did you rescue? Why is he so generous?"
Liu Shihua shook her head. "We don't know his identity. They say he's from the Red Z family."
After he said that, Zhang Sumei began to believe him.
Everyone knows that the Z family is very wealthy, how can they be so stingy?
After thinking for a moment, she said again, "You saved his life, and this is all he gives you?"
At this point, she looked at the two troublesome creatures with some suspicion.
"Mom, didn't the leaders of Chuanda say that we should do good deeds without expecting anything in return?"
We didn't want any of these things, but after they heard about our situation, they insisted on giving them to us.
We were all ashamed. How could Mom complain that they didn't give us enough?
Liu Shile stared at her mother with wide, bright eyes, her face full of surprise.
The look in his eyes seemed to be asking, "Mom, how could you do this?"
Seeing her like this, Zhang Sumei was so angry that her heart ached.
Listen to what she's saying again. Is that even human language?
A leader does good deeds anonymously because of their status!
And what about them? With so many changes happening in their family, since they had the opportunity, why didn't they know to be more flexible and ask for more benefits in return?
Or perhaps they received other benefits, but they didn't honestly confess?
Her eyes darted back and forth between the two children.
In the past, Lele, that brat, wouldn't have been able to hold back; with her staring at her like that, she would have confessed honestly.
But now? She stands there calmly, letting her scrutinize her.
On the contrary, Shihua seemed a little uncomfortable, so what exactly were they hiding from her?
"Shihua, you tell us, what did they give you in return?"
Money is easy to hide, and Zhang Sumei wanted to search them, but she had no excuse.
Moreover, she couldn't go too far in front of her husband.
"No, it's nothing," Liu Shihua replied somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing his reaction, Zhang Sumei's eyes lit up; there was definitely something else going on between them!
So her gaze turned stern, and she stared intently at them.
He said earnestly, "Shihua, Lele, you can't keep anything from me and your dad."
"Mom didn't ask clearly enough just now. Now, you two should tell me about your experiences on this trip."
"Alright, the children have just come back and must be hungry. Shixi, go and make something for your younger siblings."
Liu Weisong knew what his wife meant, but he strongly disagreed, so he tried to change the subject.
"Okay, Dad, I'll go right away." Liu Shixi nodded in agreement.
After thinking for a moment, he tugged at Liu Shile again, "Lele, come and help me start the fire."
She thought of bringing her younger sister along to avoid being interrogated by her mother.
"Shixi, you go cook by yourself. I have something to ask your sister."
Zhang Sumei did not object to her husband's words in front of the children.
But she clearly wasn't going to let the matter drop so easily.
What if those two troublesome individuals have secretly hidden money?
Once they have money, can she still control them?
At this point, Zhang Sumei regretted her decision to let them suffer and agree to let them go out to earn tuition fees.
If it weren't for this incident, they would be completely under her control right now.
If we say we won't let them go to school, then we can stop them from going to school!
