Boss Shen also understood what was going on at this time. He glanced at Shen Qingqing and asked, "Did you notice who suddenly came back today?"

Xu Manyue also looked at her. If Shen Jianping really did this, he would definitely have come here.

For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing thought again and suddenly remembered something, "When I was making lunch today, I seemed... seemed to see Fourth Uncle come back, but when I came out, he seemed to have disappeared."

"I'm not sure if he ever came back."

The old lady had no idea what was going on. She was furious and trembling with anger. "Well, it turns out it really is that little bastard."

"I don't usually feed him or clothe him."

"He had to do something so embarrassing. It really pissed me off."

The atmosphere around them froze instantly, becoming eerily quiet.

For a moment, everyone present silently lowered their presence and dared not say a word.

Xu Manyue looked outside the door again. Shen Jianping had not come back yet, and she sighed for him in her heart.

It seems that today, even if he is the old lady's favorite son, he will probably be scolded.

At this moment, Shen Jianping suddenly came back from outside.

He lowered his head slightly, looking distraught, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not notice anything unusual in the yard.

From the moment this person came in, everyone in the Shen family looked at him.

Especially the old lady, her eyes were filled with anger and her face looked extremely ugly.

I kept staring at him, but he seemed not to notice and walked into his room with his head down.

The moment Shen Jianping opened the door and was about to enter the house.

The old lady couldn't stand it any longer. She rushed over, grabbed his ear, and twisted it hard. "Stop, Shen Jianping, where have you been today?"

"If you don't explain it to me tonight, you won't be able to sleep."

"It hurts, it hurts, Mom, what are you doing? My ear is about to fall off, be gentle."

Shen Jianping's face suddenly wrinkled and he cried out "Mom" several times in pain.

Seeing his innocent face, the old lady hit him even harder. "You still feel pain? Tell me, why did you steal the eggs?"

If he had told her in advance, she, as his mother, would not have refused to give him an egg. But why did this man steal it?

What does this make other people think?

Shen Jianping looked a little uncomfortable. He avoided everyone's gaze and avoided talking about it.

"It's just an egg, it's not a big deal, why are you so cruel, Mom?"

The old lady was so disappointed that she slapped him on the forehead a few more times and said, "I think you have eaten too well and have become stupid."

"What kind of life is it out there? People die of starvation on the roadside every day. They can't even eat wild vegetables, let alone eggs. And you, on the other hand, secretly take the eggs from our home and give them to the woman outside."

"You think I'm interested in you? With your wimpy appearance, you'd better stop dreaming."

Shen Jianping was unhappy and ran behind Xu Manyue to hide from the old lady.

"Third sister-in-law, listen to what mother said. It's so harsh. What do you mean by a woman from outside? Teacher Meng is an intellectual from the city. She came to the countryside specifically to help the children in the school for free."

"She's so devoted to the students in our commune that even after get off work, she still visits each student's home. She's also incredibly serious in class. Tell me, how can there be such a kind and wonderful girl in the world?"

"Third sister-in-law, Teacher Meng is your colleague. You can't let mother and others say that about her."

Xu Manyue raised her hand and rubbed her brow. "Jianping, that's not what mother meant. Today's problem is not about eggs. If you want to eat eggs, you can tell mother in advance. Mother will not refuse to give them to you."

"But you shouldn't have taken the eggs without even saying hello. Mom was so angry just now that she thought there was a thief in the house. What if something bad happens out of anger? What do you think we should do?"

Shen Jianping gradually lowered his head and stopped talking.

The old lady glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Why bother saying so much to him? It's better to raise a dog than to raise a son like him. At least a dog won't make me angry like this. He just knows how to annoy people all day long."

Mrs. Shen curled her lips and said, "Mom, you can't take the matter lightly with the fourth child today. He gave the egg to himself, and everyone outside would accept it, but his family didn't eat much meat, and he gave the egg to a stranger."

"Don't even mention that Teacher Meng isn't his wife yet. Even if she were, it wouldn't make sense for her to use all sorts of things to subsidize outsiders before she even gets married."

Xu Manyue saw the old lady's increasingly ugly expression. She quickly tugged at Sister Shen's sleeve and whispered, "Sister-in-law, stop talking. If you continue, mother will be angry."

Mrs. Shen subconsciously looked up, and sure enough, the old lady's gaze fell on her, coldly, with a bit of scrutiny and warning, as if she was going to operate on her in the next second.

She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly hid behind Xu Manyue, blocking the old lady's sight, and smiled awkwardly, "Mom, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."

The old lady snorted coldly, "Humph, you are not a good person either. I will teach my son a lesson. When is it your turn to talk nonsense? Why don't you go back to the house and cook."

Mrs. Shen bit her lip and turned back to the house.

But halfway through, she ran back and snatched Shen Baozhu from Lin Luoxia's hands, "Second sister-in-law, mother said that I want to teach Baozhu to do some work. It happens that I am cooking, so let her come over and help me."

"You don't mind, do you?"

Lin Luoxia looked at her quietly for several times, then slowly loosened her hand and let her pull the child over.

"How could that be, sister-in-law? As long as you teach Baozhu well, I won't have any thoughts. But if you hit the child again, I don't know what I will do."

"I think you should be able to handle it properly, sister-in-law, right?"

Mrs. Shen's face froze. "Of course..."

This man is still so hateful that he actually dares to threaten her. But it doesn’t matter, Shen Baozhu is in her hands.

If Lin Luoxia dared to threaten her, then she would just deal with Shen Baozhu. After all, she was just a girl, and the old lady wouldn't care as long as nothing serious happened.

The old lady looked at her two daughters-in-law who were arguing with each other with annoyance, and then looked at her old son who made her angry.

She waved her hands impatiently, "The third daughter-in-law and the fourth, you two stay here, everyone else go back to the house and stop causing trouble for me all day long."

Before entering the house, Shen Lao Er glanced at Shen Jianping and pulled Lin Luoxia into the house.

It seems that this time, the fourth child really made his mother angry.

He can only hope for the best, because his second brother can't save him anyway.

Who made him so stupid that he dared to secretly take eggs from home and give them to an outsider in this year of famine?
