Chapter 18: Being Too Eager Is Not Good for Business
Xie Jinghao looked at this family and Liu Sanjin's attitude, and knew that by noon today, both Shen Meng and the children would go hungry. As she was feeding Xiao Gang, she mulled over what food she still had in her house.
After Lu Mingyang delivered the pigweed and recorded the work points with his siblings, they started to head home. The usually chattering Lu Mingliang grew silent as they got closer to home.
Lu Mingfang was even too scared to continue walking forward.
Seeing the look on his younger siblings' faces, Lu Mingyang's expression darkened. He gripped Lu Mingkai's hand tighter.
"Don't be scared. When we get home, you go straight to your rooms. I'll find something for us to eat. If mother gets angry and hits someone, let her hit me. I'm not afraid."
Anyway, as long as she didn't beat him to death, he would make sure this malicious woman paid the price once he grew up.
"Bro, let me join you. Even if we get hit, we can share it, so it won't hurt as much."
"No need, just take care of our little brother and sister," Lu Mingyang said and pulled Lu Mingkai with him as they walked toward home.
Lu Mingfang and Lu Mingliang exchanged glances and hurriedly followed behind, both of them resolved to stand with their brother and not let him face the beating alone.
