Chapter 20: Follow Brother Yangyang for Food (Part 3)
Zhao Meimei led her underlings, each carrying a plastic bag of river snails, and was sent home by Shi Yang.
The group of kids were all safe and sound, with no injuries.
The worried parents gathered in front of the grocery store finally relaxed, stepping forward to grab their troublesome kids. Some scolded them, others yelled, and soon dispersed.
Zhao Meimei realized she had made a mistake and sheepishly stood behind her Brother Yangyang, her little head drooping in silence.
Liu Xiue saw her covered in mud, her eyes reddened with emotion, and she stepped forward to pull Zhao Meimei from behind Shi Yang, scolding gruffly, "How could you be so bold? Do you think the riverside is a place you can go? It’s so dangerous! And not only did you go, you brought a bunch of kids along! It’s a good thing nothing happened today!"
Liu Xiue angrily poked Zhao Meimei on the forehead, causing her to yelp in pain and quickly hide behind her Brother Yangyang.
Liu Xiue reached out again to grab Zhao Meimei, but Shi Yang didn’t move aside this time and stopped her, "Aunt, Meimei knows she’s wrong. Don’t be mad."
Shi Yang turned to Zhao Meimei and gave her a look: Hurry and apologize to your mom! Do you really want a beating?
Zhao Meimei quickly stuck her head out and looked at her mom, "Mom, I’m wrong. I’ll never go to the riverside again. Please don’t be mad at me."
Liu Xiue, filled with anger, placed one hand on her hip and pointed at Zhao Meimei, "Dou Dou from Building Five is only five years old, and you dared to take him to the riverside. What if something happened? His family wouldn’t forgive you! You’re utterly fearless!"
