As brothers, the two of them had no intention of rejecting their beloved sister’s request. “Go ahead.”
“When we get out later, if anyone asks you what’s in this bag, please help me answer that I picked the wild fruit in the forest. Is that okay?” Chen Meng’er looked at Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan expectantly, the two of them couldn’t refuse at all.
“Hey, I thought it was something that would make me nervous. That’s it. No problem.” Chen Haoxuan let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
“Meng’er, don’t worry. We won’t say anything.” Chen Haoguo didn’t know why his sister did this, but he agreed to her request unconditionally.
When she got the answer she wanted, Chen Meng’er grinned, revealing her faint dimples. Her smile was extremely sweet.
When the three siblings walked out of the forest hand in hand, the children who had followed them up the mountain earlier gathered outside the forest. They all had anxious and worried expressions on their faces. However, there were no adults present.
In the end, none of these children mustered their courage and went down the mountain to call for adults.
When they saw the three Chen siblings walk out safely, they heaved a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
“Hey, you’re finally out. If you hadn’t come out soon, we would have all rushed in.” When Chen Gang saw Chen Haoguo, he walked forward with a smile and put his arm around Chen Haoguo’s shoulder, as if they were brothers.
However, the smile in Chen Haoguo’s eyes didn’t reach his eyes when he saw Chen Gang’s intimate action. Although these children weren’t old, there was a good saying that the children of poor families were in charge early. And Chen Haoguo was more sensible than ordinary children. He had to be steady.
Therefore, he knew the truth of Chen Gang’s words. After this incident, he had to weigh the friendship between him and Chen Gang in his heart. However, he did not show his emotions on his face.
If Chen Meng’er knew the thoughts of her eldest brother, Chen Haoguo, perhaps she would guess that her eldest brother had also been reborn.
At this moment, Chen Meng’er had the same thoughts as Chen Haoxuan. She felt that Chen Gang was very hypocritical. She even wondered if her ability to observe people had become weaker. To think that her first impression of Chen Gang was not bad.
“I’ve made you worry. We’re fine. It’s just that my sister was a little shocked, so I have to bring her back first to calm her down.” Chen Haoxuan looked at the group of people who were standing there, suddenly, he didn’t want to continue playing with them.
As for Chen Haoxuan, it was rare for him to be tactful and not make a sound. He remained silent.
“Oh, is that so? Then you guys should hurry back.” Chen Gang looked at Chen Meng’er, who had her head lowered and remained silent. He believed Chen Haoguo’s words.
Just like that, Chen Haoguo smoothly brought his younger siblings away from everyone and slowly walked down the mountain.
As Chen Meng’er walked, she turned her head to look at the side of her brother’s face. For the first time, she realized that her brother was actually quite powerful. When Chen Meng’er and the other two arrived home, their parents, Chen Ping and Liu Juan, were already at home.
Chen Ping’s mood was relatively low. Today, he went to his brother’s house to borrow money. The moment he opened his mouth, his brother took out the money and lent it to him without a second word. At that time, he had borrowed the money and thanked his brother with a heart full of joy. Then, he turned around and left.
He thought that the child’s tuition fees had finally been settled. However, when he left his brother’s house, halfway through, he thought of something that he had forgotten to tell his brother, so he turned back. When he walked to the door of his brother’s small courtyard, before he could speak… he heard his sister-in-law talking to his brother.
“Tao, you’ve lent all the money to Little Ping. What about the tuition fees for Hong Ying and the others?” Chen Ping heard his sister-in-law’s voice.
His brother, Chen Tao, was silent for a while before he said, “I’ll think of a way to deal with this. Don’t worry about it. Little Ping asked me to lend him the money. He must have an urgent need for it.”
When Chen Ping heard this, he did not care about the matter of him turning back to look for his brother. He turned around and walked home. However, his mood this time was completely different from before. He touched the money in his bag and felt very upset.
After Chen Ping returned home, he told Liu Juan what he had heard at his brother’s house. Liu Juan also looked at the pile of money and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Father, mother, you are all home. We are back.” Once Chen Haoxuan returned home, he revealed his true form. He let go of Chen Meng’er’s hand and ran straight into the house.
Chen Haoxuan held Chen Meng’er’s hand and slowly walked into the house.
“Why are you back so early?” Liu Juan looked at the three siblings who entered the house and asked, “Did someone bully Meng’er?”
“No, no one would bully Meng’er.” When Chen Meng’er entered the house, she felt the slightly depressing atmosphere in the house, so she let go of her brother’s hand and ran straight into her mother’s arms, she started to act coquettishly. “We came back so early because Meng’er found something good.” Chen Meng’er looked proud.
“Oh? What did Meng’er find?” Chen Meng’er’s coquettish look and her sweet voice made Liu Juan and Chen Ping’s depressed mood rise a little.
“Quickly bring the thing over.” Chen Meng’er turned her head and said to Chen Haoguo.
