"Si Yao didn't mean it. She just said a few words casually. Is it necessary for him to get so angry?" Liang Yongwen had no idea why he was angry and was still complaining.
"You always say she spoke carelessly, not intentionally, but unintentionally. Do you know that the mouth can cause trouble? Even a ten-year-old like me understands what she means. You should know better than me. She has caused so much trouble with her mouth that I can't stand it anymore."
Cui Siwei often talked about his mother. He felt that his sister became like this because of his mother's education. It was because of her indulgence that she became like this.
He dragged her all the way to the street outside, and said impatiently, "Mom, go find her quickly and don't let her get into trouble again. We don't have that much time to clean up her mess."
"Cui Siwei, she is your sister." Liang Yongwen growled at him.
"Mom, you still remember that she is my sister. In other families, the older sister takes care of the younger brother and educates him, but in our family, it's the opposite. I'm so much younger than her, but she always asks me to take care of her and educate her, and to help her clean up all the messes. Do I owe her anything?"
Cui Siwei was also annoyed. He looked at her with disappointment and said angrily, "I'm only ten years old. I'm not twenty, thirty, or forty. I'm not an adult. Why should I spoil her?"
Liang Yongwen was a little confused by his yelling, and her tone softened a bit: "Siwei, I'm sorry, Mom shouldn't have yelled at you, I didn't mean to yell at you."
"I don't need your apology."
Cui Siwei turned around angrily, his face flushed red with anger, and yelled again: "I really owe you."
He has been sensible and mature since he was a child, smart and studious, much more obedient than Liang Siyao, so much so that Liang Yongwen often has the illusion that he is the older brother and Liang Siyao is the younger sister.
In fact, there is a five-year age difference between the two siblings, and Liang Siyao is five years older than him.
Liang Yongwen stood there for a long time without moving, and no one knew what was going on in her mind. When she came to her senses, Liang Siyao had disappeared. She hurriedly went to look for her in a panic: "Siyao, Siyao..."
Cui Zhiyuan and his son stood in an open place and waited for about twenty minutes, and finally Cui Lanzhi, her mother and son came back.
"Lanzhi."
Cui Zhiyuan recognized his younger sister at a glance. When he saw her thin and gaunt figure, his eyes instantly became moist.
Hearing his familiar voice, Cui Lanzhi paused abruptly. After seeing his face clearly, she loosened her hands and dropped everything in them to the ground. Her voice trembled, "Second Brother."
"Lanzhi."
Cui Zhiyuan ran towards her. Seeing the dazzling white hair on her head, his eyes became hot. "Lanzhi, I'm sorry."
"Second brother, when did you come back?" Cui Lanzhi's eyes also turned red.
"I came back yesterday."
Cui Zhiyuan bent down to help her pick up the things on the ground, and looked at his nephew and niece beside him with an excited expression: "Xiao Lei, Xiao Yue, I am your second uncle."
"Second uncle." Xiaolei and his sister called out in a slightly unfamiliar voice.
Cui Siwei also came over, and without his father's instruction, he took the initiative to call out to everyone: "Aunt, cousin, cousin, hello."
"Second brother, what is this?" Cui Lanzhi had guessed it from his appearance.
"Lanzhi, my son Siwei is ten years old this year."
Cui Lanzhi gave her nephew a kind smile, "Hello, Siwei."
After saying that, he called to the father and son, "Second brother, Siwei, let's go. It's hot outside. Let's talk inside."
Cui Zhiyuan followed them into the house and saw that the furniture in the room was quite worn, but it was very neat. He looked around casually, took out two large red envelopes from his pocket, and stuffed them into the hands of the two children, "Xiao Lei, Xiao Yue, this is the first time your second uncle meets you. I didn't buy anything this time. Take this money and buy something you like."
The two children were traumatized and didn't dare to accept his money, so neither of them reached out to take it.
Seeing this, Cui Lanzhi said, "Xiao Lei, Xiao Yue, this is given by your second uncle, you should keep it."
Cui Zhiyuan guessed their concerns and said with a sad heart, "Take it. Things are different now than before. You can accept the money from your second uncle."
The red envelope he gave as a welcoming gift was quite generous. Cui Lanzhi went back to her room and took out a red envelope of similar size for Cui Siwei. She also asked, "Second brother, isn't Siwei's mother back yet?"
"Lanzhi, I'll tell you about that fucking thing later." Cui Zhiyuan didn't want to mention Leung Wing-man now.
Cui Lanzhi's eyes moved, she nodded, asked them to sit down, then went to pour them some water, and brought a watermelon over to cut for them and their son to eat.
"Brother, how did you find me here?"
"I ran into my classmate He Huaimin this morning and asked him to help me find it."
The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for twenty years, but they didn't feel unfamiliar. Cui Zhiyuan saw that she was very thin and looked much older than her peers. Her face also showed the traces of time. He asked with concern: "Lanzhi, you are much thinner than before. Are you feeling well? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
"I've suffered a lot in the past ten years, and my health is not as good as before. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and there's nothing serious wrong with me." Cui Lanzhi smiled at him, and there was no bitterness in her smile.
"I'll take you for a thorough checkup tomorrow. Even if you're fine, I'll prescribe some medicine to nourish you. Xiaolei and the others are still young, and they still need your care. You have to take good care of your health." Cui Zhiyuan made arrangements with concern.
Cui Lanzhi had felt his care and warmth over the years and said with a smile, "You don't need to go to the hospital. Just eat better and your body will recover slowly."
"Using both dietary and medicinal supplements will help you get better faster."
Cui Zhiyuan maintained a firm attitude on the matter and changed the subject: "Today I asked my classmates about my family's situation, but he only knew a rough outline. Tell me more about it."
"Second brother, haven't you gone to see them yet?" Cui Lanzhi no longer calls her parents mom and dad, and now only calls them "they".
"No. I received a letter from them a while ago, but it didn't mention their current address, and I haven't checked yet. I'm here to see you first to learn about what's happened over the years, and then I'll go see them in a couple of days."
Cui Zhiyuan was filled with disappointment towards his parents and brothers. If they hadn't asked him for something, they wouldn't have thought of him as their son. He had seen through all of this long ago.
Now that he is back, he wants to know what happened over the years. Cui Lanzhi feels that there is nothing to hide about the past, so if she tells him everything, it will be easier for him to make decisions on some things, so she tells him everything she knows.
As for her second brother's future arrangements, she did not interfere. She only told him the truth about what had happened over the years.
Now her second brother's personality has changed a lot, and he will definitely not be controlled by them. This time their plan is likely to fail. She can now basically guess the insults and accusations they are going to say.
