Chapter 311: Leisure Time
Shen Meng ate with a cold expression on her face, while Mingyang beside her glanced at her and then lowered his head. Ming Liang and Ming Fang exchanged looks but didn’t intervene. Tense and on edge, the troublemaker Lu Mingkai was scarfing down his rice deliciously, his face still wet with tears he hadn’t wiped away, finishing a bowl of rice in no time.
His stubbornness was almost unbearable to watch.
"After you finish eating, go out and play. Mom is going out for a while and won’t be back until later. I’ve been idle all day and have something to take care of. Mingyang, you have the house keys. If you get tired of playing outside, go home and sleep or do your homework. If something comes up, go find your Brother Xiao Long, got it?"
"Got it."
The children were very obedient, especially when she was angry. Even Lu Mingkai muttered in agreement, but his eyes still showed defiance.
"You know nothing, if you really knew, you wouldn’t cause trouble. What if you had caused grandma to fall and get hurt or be blamed, how would you handle that? Mom works hard to make money, and if it ends up in grandma’s pocket, it would break my heart."
"I didn’t do it, I was careful, she’s fine, hmph, who told her to always steal cucumbers from our private plot? And she steals the big old ones, hoarding them for her family. Why should she? I planted them, they’re mine."
"Stealing is stealing, but you shouldn’t have taken grandma’s walking stick while she was in the outhouse, aren’t you disgusted by the stench?"
"Hmph!"
Shen Meng looked at him and felt a headache coming on. She couldn’t handle it, but Ming Fang could. With just one glaring look, Mingkai didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
