"You brat, can't you speak properly?"
"I didn't say anything wrong, Mom. You don't have to go to work today, are you still taking me to see Uncle Liu?"
Upon hearing He Ye's words, He's mother quickly covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down, didn't I tell you not to talk about this at home?"
"Oh, I know, I forgot. Shall we go?"
"Go, let's talk after breakfast."
"Okay, hurry up and make it, I'm hungry."
"OK."
Mother He quickly cooked white porridge and fried dried radish and eggs, then served them on the table.
"He Ye, come and eat."
"good."
He's mother and He Ye quickly ate the porridge, deliberately not calling He Hua out to eat.
That brat took two hundred yuan from her, and now she expects her mother to call her out for breakfast? No way.
After finishing breakfast, the mother and daughter cleaned up the table and immediately ran away.
"Mom, where is Uncle Liu?"
"We're at home, we'll go now."
He Ye followed her mother through a maze of turns to Liu Chong's house. She looked around the slightly dilapidated courtyard with curiosity, her mind filled with doubts.
As soon as I entered, Liu Chong greeted me warmly, "You've finally arrived."
"Hello, Uncle Liu."
Hello, Uncle Liu.
Mother He smiled as she looked at Liu Chong. The three of them went into the house, which was very simple, with only a few pieces of basic furniture.
Liu Chong picked up some candy and cookies and gave them to He Ye. "Xiao Ye, take these and eat them outside. Eat more. Your mother and I have something to talk about."
"good."
As soon as the two watched He Ye walk into the courtyard, Liu Chong immediately asked, "What happened that you came to see me today? You'd better not come to this courtyard too often."
"Chong-ge, I just missed you." After saying that, He's mother didn't forget to touch Liu Chong with her hand.
"Heh, you woman, maybe next time," Liu Chong said with a grin.
“Brother Chong, my daughter who went to the countryside is back. She actually tried to extort two hundred yuan from me. That money was what you gave me to buy food and clothes for Xiao Ye.”
"What? She's back? Trying to extort money again? Should I get a few people to teach her a lesson?"
"How should we discipline her? Scare her?"
After hesitating for a moment, He's mother agreed, "Brother Chong, it's your decision. If I don't give her the money, she'll tell everyone about us."
"Alright, I'll handle this. You and your daughter go back first."
"good."
Mother He walked out of the house and called He Ye to walk out of the yard together. She then closed the door behind her.
Huh, what's this woman doing here with He Ye? Did she discover his secret? Impossible, if she did, they would have already started a fight.
Mr. He hummed a little tune as he walked in another direction. He was going to have another son, haha...
When He Hua and Chen Gang got up and came to the dining table, they saw that there was only a plate of stir-fried radish with eggs, and more than half of it had already been eaten. They felt disgusted.
Her mother is really something; she clearly said she would wake her up, but she didn't.
Hmph, she's going to eat well anyway.
So, she took the money and tickets and dragged Chen Gang to the state-run restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, it was truly an unexpected encounter; they ran into Su Tian.
Su Tian glanced coldly at the two of them, thinking to herself, "Hmph, what bad luck."
He Hua, however, acted as if she hadn't seen her and came up to greet her warmly, "Su Tian, what a coincidence, you're here to eat at the restaurant too."
"Yeah, what a bad day, running into something like this."
“Heh…” He Hua didn’t dare to refute, and could only laugh awkwardly.
Su Tian bought the steamed buns and turned to leave.
He Hua's face flushed red and then turned pale with anger. She muttered under her breath, "You shameless bitch, what's with all the swagger?" Then she pulled Chen Gang into the state-run restaurant.
When Su Tian was carrying the steamed buns to another alley, she encountered another unlucky thing.
"Oh, Su Tian, what a coincidence! You went to buy steamed buns?" Zhang Xiaoya said in surprise.
"Unfortunately," Su Tian replied coldly.
"Su Tian, what's wrong? Aren't we best friends? Why are you being so cold to me?"
"I'm sorry, I'm an only child, I don't have any brothers or sisters."
"You want your sister? Your best friend is eating at the state-run restaurant right now, you can go there."
Zhang Xiaoya's eyes lit up when she heard about state-run restaurants.
Seeing Xiao Ya's eyes practically popping out of her head, Su Tian thought, "Hmph, that bitch He Hua is going to suffer another huge loss."
Zhang Xiaoya ignored Su Tian and hurriedly rushed to the state-run restaurant.
When she reached the door, she slowed her pace and pretended not to know anything.
"Hey, He Hua, Chen Gang, you two are back?"
So Su Tian was talking about He Hua. She really is my good friend. Maybe she can get a free meal later?
Wow, you ordered braised pork, braised fish, and braised eggplant!
"May I sit with you? This is the first time we've met in the past six months."
Chen Gang was extremely frustrated; he even ran into this woman when he went out for a meal.
This woman has seen him shoveling latrines before. Should he pretend he doesn't know her?
He Hua was reluctant to hear Zhang Xiaoya say this, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only nod helplessly.
"Hey, He Hua, could you order me a bowl of rice? I haven't eaten yet."
"There's so much food, you can't possibly finish it all. Would it be okay if I joined you?"
"It's okay, you can."
Afterwards, He Hua went to buy Zhang Xiaoya a bowl of rice and put it on the table for her.
Zhang Xiaoya picked up her rice bowl and quickly began to eat.
Seeing this, He Hua didn't want to say anything more, afraid that Zhang Xiaoya would finish all the food.
No one at the table said a word; they quickly picked up food with their hands.
