Mother Xu was already furious, and her daughter was acting like a fool and making a scene with her, which made her lose her temper and start a fight.

"Wow!"

After being slapped, Xu Sishi opened her mouth wide and cried so heartbreakingly that it was heartbreaking to hear.

All the mothers present could not help but feel heartbroken when they saw Mother Xu beating their children.

"Sishi's mother, if the child doesn't listen, just talk to him nicely. Why do you hit him? Look how pitiful he is crying."

Mother Xu felt very regretful, especially when she saw her daughter crying and gasping for breath. The scolding from the other parents made her feel embarrassed, so she took her daughter and left in a rage.

Seeing her walk away without even saying hello, one parent couldn't help but sneer: "You can't discipline your child well, and you still have the nerve to turn your face away!"

"That's right. The child is young and naive. Isn't her mother naive too? She has the nerve to take the child's things and refuse to return them!"

The parents didn't say it, but in their hearts they despised the behavior of the mother and daughter.

Now that they are gone, everyone has the guts to speak up and complain about the mother and daughter.

After complaining, it was getting late, so everyone took their children and left with their "trophies".

The "trophies" were the fruits and vegetables picked in the yard today. Shen Mingzhu allowed the children to take home anything they could carry, making the parents as happy as if it were New Year's Day.

Although the things may not be very valuable, they can be eaten for a few days when you take them home, which is equivalent to saving money on vegetables and fruits for a few days.

Saving is earning. You have food to eat, fun to play and money to earn. How can you not be happy?

…

After sending all the guests away, Shen Mingzhu took her daughter to check her up and down to see if she was injured in the argument.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Noticing the guilty look in her daughter's eyes, Shen Mingzhu deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "Where do you think you did something wrong?"

"Fighting is wrong."

Shen Mingzhu gently touched the other person's head and asked, "Since you know it's wrong, why did you still do it?"

"I taught you that."

The silent Pei Ziheng spoke.

Pei Tang seemed to have found someone to rely on. He moved closer to his brother and grabbed his brother's hand out of habit.

Looking at the brother and sister who shared the same hatred for a common enemy, Shen Mingzhu secretly laughed.

But he put on a serious look and continued to educate: "Fighting is indeed wrong. No matter what we do, we must learn to resolve conflicts in a rational and peaceful way. However, when reason doesn't make sense, it's okay to use other methods to protect our own interests, so..."

Shen Mingzhu patted her daughter's shoulder and smiled: "You did nothing wrong today."

Pei Tang was surprised and happy, and a bright smile appeared on his originally tense face.

She happily took out the blue crystal necklace from her backpack and was about to put it back on her neck, but a slender white hand reached out from the side and took the necklace.

"Brother, give me back my necklace."

Pei Ziheng shook the necklace and said calmly, "It's been worn by someone else, so it's dirty."

Pei Tang looked at the shiny necklace and didn't think it was dirty at all, but since his brother said so, there must be a reason, so he followed him into the house to wash the necklace.

Shen Mingzhu no longer cared about the brother and sister and turned around to clean up the table and chairs.

In the kitchen.

Pei Ziheng scooped some clean water from a basin, found an old toothbrush, and used toothpaste to scrub the necklace inch by inch.

Pei Tang stood by and watched intently, his face full of curiosity, "Brother, why do you use toothpaste to wash the necklace instead of washing powder?"

"Sweat and air will cause the surface of the silver necklace to oxidize and form a black stain. Toothpaste can clean this stain very well and restore the necklace to its original appearance."

As he spoke, Pei Ziheng washed off the foam from the clean necklace and then wiped it dry with a handkerchief.

"Here, it's clean."

Pei Tang's eyes widened with joy, "It's really clean!"

Pei Ziheng curled his lips and smiled, then used a handkerchief dipped in clean water to wipe the crystal pendant until it was clean and translucent, and then put it back on the necklace.

"Mom, look, my brother cleaned my necklace for me, and it looks like new!"

Although she was busy, Shen Mingzhu stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked carefully at the necklace on her daughter's neck.

"Yes, it was washed very clean. Did you see how my brother washed it?"

"I saw it. It was washed with toothpaste."

"Then remember, if your necklace gets dirty next time, clean it yourself with toothpaste."

"Okay, got it!"

Seeing the mother and daughter talking animatedly, Qin Jinlian waved at her granddaughter.

"Guoguo, come here, grandma will give you something good."

Pei Tang ran over immediately.

Shen Mingzhu continued to clean up.

After a while, my daughter ran back happily, "Mom, look, grandma gave it to me!"

Shen Mingzhu was a little surprised to see the green jade gourd pendant in her daughter's hand.

She originally thought that the good thing Qin Jinlian was talking about was candy or something, but she didn't expect it to be a jade pendant.

She took the jade pendant and looked at it. It was the size of a thumb and green in color.

Shen Mingzhu returned the jade pendant to her daughter and said, "Keep it safe and don't lose it."

"Um!"

Pei Tang put the jade pendant into his calf bag, and then he started playing around the yard. Sometimes he wanted to climb a tree, sometimes he wanted to pick lotus flowers from the pond, and sometimes he had a crazy idea to go fishing.

After finishing the cleanup, Pei Yang went to the melon field and brought back a big watermelon.

After the watermelon was cut, Shen Mingzhu put it on a plate and sent it to the brother and sister.

After delivering the watermelons, they returned to the shed. Pei Yang and Shen Jianguo were nowhere to be found, leaving Qin Jinlian sitting there alone eating the watermelons.

"There's a broken fan in the store. Your dad asked Pei Yang to go check it out."

"If something is broken, just find someone to fix it. Can Pei Yang fix it after he takes a look?"

"Maybe Pei Yang can fix it, so we can save money." Qin Jinlian replied.

Shen Mingzhu didn't talk about this topic anymore. She picked up a piece of watermelon and asked about the jade gourd while eating it, "Where did you buy it?"

"A few days ago, a jade dealer came to the entrance of the farmers' market. He specialized in selling these small jade pendants. They were all genuine and high-quality jadeite. What's the name of the one I bought? Oh, Imperial Green! In ancient times, it was a precious item used by the emperor."

Qin Jinlian was chewing the melon and talking with great joy. The wrinkles on her face were all filled with her happiness and looked upturned.

"The dealer said that if it were sold in the city, such a high-quality jade pendant would have to be sold for at least 100 or 80 yuan. I haggled with him for a long time before he agreed to sell me six for 10 yuan each."

Seeing Qin Jinlian's joy at getting a great bargain, Shen Mingzhu was too lazy to expose the fact that she had been cheated.

Because no matter how much she said, she would still do her own thing.

This is a common problem among the elderly, they are stubborn and won't listen to advice.

The more you try to stop her, the angrier she will get, and she may even get sick from anger.

Just let it be. After all, the money will be gone once it’s spent, so just think of it as making the old man happy.

Thinking about this, Shen Mingzhu joked: "You bought so many at once, are you planning to change your career and sell jade pendants?" (End of this chapter)
