In the alley, Xu Ayu sent away the person who came to report the news, and yelled at Wei A who was staring at a pile of gifts:

"You still have the heart to look at these things. It's already nine o'clock, and your little cub hasn't come back yet. I don't know how worried you are."

Wei Ada felt wronged when she yelled at him.

"How could Allah not be concerned? This person did not come. Allah has gone out to look for him."

Xu Ayu looked at Wei Ada's outfit for going out and didn't know where to vent his breath.

He happened to see Wei Ling and a few kids peeking at the stairs, and he became extremely angry.

"Why are you running out here instead of going to sleep? It's so cold at night, do you need to catch a cold and have a fever like your elder brother? If you can be as smart as your elder brother when you have a fever..."

Xu Ayu couldn't continue speaking and tears fell heavily.

Wei Ada quickly waved to the children, signaling them to go upstairs.

When he heard no more sound at the stairs, he walked up to Xu Ayu and patted her shoulder.

"Mr. Lu is not a bad person. He has done a great favor to our family. He also sent someone to explain the situation..."

Wei Ada couldn't continue talking after he came to the end.

He felt guilty that in the cold winter, his family was living in a warm house and having enough food to eat, but he let a child who was only in his early teens run around outside.

When Xu Ayu saw Wei Ada remained silent, he looked up and was startled.

"Why are you crying?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ada felt even more guilty. He felt useless and a burden to his family. He made his wife get up early and work late to sell braised meat, and his children rack their brains to make a living.

Having been married for many years, Xu Ayu knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression.

I could only sniffle, wipe away my tears and comfort him:

"What you need to do now is to take good care of your health. When the weather gets warmer, we can sell braised meat together. You can earn as much as pulling a rickshaw in a month."

Wei Ada was still crying.

Xu Ayu comforted him in return, saying, "Mr. Lu is a good man. He gave Ah Miao books, taught her knowledge, and helped her gain more experience. He even gave us a braised pork recipe for free..."

In the end, Xu Ayu failed to appease Wei Ada, but instead convinced himself.

Seeing that Wei Ada was still a little sad, he shouted, "You are almost forty, why are you crying?"

Wei Ada was so scared that he hiccuped and muttered, "Ala is only 29 years old."

Xu Ayu's heart softened when he looked at his thin body, pale face, and white hair at the temples since he was shot.

"Ada, let's go to the side room and wait for Miao to come back."

Wei Ada: "Is it possible that the messenger won't come back if he doesn't say so?"

Xu Ayu said confidently: "I know A Miao, she will definitely come home."

Wei Ada stopped talking and just said in a muffled voice: "I'll wait with you."

Seeing Xu Ayu glaring at him, he sat beside her and said, "Even if I go to bed, I won't be able to fall asleep."

In the car at the entrance of the alley, Lu Pingsheng blushed and said in confusion:

"Ah Miao, why do you have to go home? It would be much better to stay in a hotel. You can even have a free meal the next morning."

Wei Miao had changed back into the jacket he wore before going out, and the two bags in his hands contained food that Lu Pingsheng had specially packed in the kitchen.

"If I don't go home, my mother will definitely not be able to sleep. If she is not well, the whole family will be in trouble."

Lu Pingsheng thought about Xu Ayu's gloomy face, nodded seriously, and said enviously:

"Ah Miao, your mother is really nice."

Wei Miao looked at him strangely, "Is your mother not well?"

Lu Pingsheng looked out the window with disappointment, fearing that he would never see his mother again in this lifetime.

"Yes, I asked someone to bring this specially for you. It's your wages."

Wei Miao looked at the large yellow croaker he handed over and said puzzledly: "Didn't you say it was a hundred yuan? I'll just take the small yellow croaker."

Lu Pingsheng casually threw the gold bar into her bag of food and said, "The news you told me today is much more valuable than this."

Wei Miao thought about the conversation between Lu Pingsheng and the two people in the hall, and the man's expression didn't show much surprise.

As if he already knew the Japanese's plan, he just asked in detail about the warehouse.

"Ah Miao, are you sure that little G didn't understand?"

Wei Miao nodded affirmatively and said:

"Later, I spoke in English, but he didn't respond. I then took him to the side of those foreign kids. The foreign kids laughed at him arrogantly, but he didn't respond either."

Lu Pingsheng patted her shoulder and said, "Good job."

Wei Miao did not comment. When she decided to tell Lu Pingsheng about this, she thought of the possible consequences.

She thought Lupin was a good person who was willing to do what he could without putting his family in danger.

She was even curious whether the world that Lu Pingsheng described really existed. If so, what did it look like?

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Wei Miao looked at his bags of things and naturally did not refuse.

The two walked in the rare quiet alley, and the dim yellow lights along the route added a touch of warmth to the cold night.

The shoes made a tapping sound as they stepped on the checkered road.

"Ah~"

The woman's painful voice reached their ears very clearly.

"You bitch, how dare you scream!" the man's hoarse voice was intermittent.

Lu Pingsheng frowned slightly and quickened his pace.

Turning around, he saw the little brat still walking slowly or slowly, and he glared at her in dissatisfaction.

Wei Miao has good hearing, she can even hear the sound of the whip hitting her flesh.

Fortunately, the alley was not long and we soon reached our home.

Hearing the noise, Xu Ayu quickly came to open the door, and seeing that it was Wei Miao, he hugged him in his arms.

Wei Ada looked at Lu Pingsheng standing outside the door, and said with red eyes and a smile:

"My child has never come home so late before. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Lu Pingsheng handed the thing in his hand to Wei Ada, touched his nose and said:

"It's my fault. I could have come back earlier, but I suddenly felt unwell, so I asked Miao to accompany me to the hospital."

After listening to this, Xu Ayu looked up at Lu Pingsheng's cheeks, which were indeed abnormally red.

"Mr. Lu, you have a fever? Is it serious?"

Lu Pingsheng waved his hands quickly, "I had a stomachache after drinking, so I went to the hospital for an IV drip."

He watched Lu Pingsheng leave, closed the door and went back to the house.

Before Xu Ayu and the others could attack, Wei Miao placed the large yellow croaker in front of them.

The couple glanced at it casually at first, then were stunned, and Xu Ayu took a bite directly.

"it is true."

Wei Adan turned it over and over in his hands. After his joy, he looked at Wei Miao seriously, "Ah Miao, can you tell Dad and Mom how this came about?"

Wei Miao told her about how Lu Pingsheng took her to be an interpreter for the children in the homes of foreign masters.

The couple didn't react for a long time.

A gold bar was too much of a shock to them. The couple would have to go without food and drink for several years to get the price of a large yellow croaker.

Wei Miao let them take a break before saying:

"Dad, Mom, I have grown up a lot in the past six months. Brother Cai was able to subsidize the family when he was five years old, and support my widowed mother and sister when he was twelve years old. Naturally, I can do the same."

Xu Ayu and Wei Ada suddenly felt that the gold in their hands was no longer attractive.

"A Miao, we don't ask for wealth and honor, we just hope that you all grow up safely." After Xu A Yu finished speaking, Wei A Da also nodded quickly.

Wei Miao reached out and held their hands, and said firmly and slowly:

"Mom, I don't want to experience the despair that Dad felt after he got hurt."

"I want A'ran and A'ling to go to school, I want A'li to go out openly, and I want A'ping and A'dong to stop crying all night because of hunger..."

Xu Ayu burst into tears, "But this is what my father and I should do. Nong is still a child, a..."

Wei Miao looked up at the two men, whose faces were clearly full of weathered looks despite being less than thirty years old.

"I can do that, can't I?"

What answered her was Xu Ayu's skinny but warm embrace, and Wei Ada's skinny and strong hands.
