In the house, Tong Yao naturally overheard the conversation in the living room, asking quietly, "Mom is still angry, huh?"
She isn't willing to accept the money, so it appears she's genuinely angry this time.
"It's fine, go to sleep!"
Si Chen took off his shoes and climbed into bed, tucking Tong Yao in, seeming unconcerned with Lin Fengying's anger.
Tong Yao lifted her chin to look at Si Chen, discovering that his jaw was tight, and he had already closed his eyes to sleep.
She didn't want to meddle in the affairs between the mother and son, sleeping even more soundly than Si Chen.
Early the next day, after breakfast, the two of them prepared to leave for Li City. Si Boyi, Zhang Lijuan, and Si Xiaohui escorted them to the village entrance. Lin Fengying excused herself by saying she had to wash the dishes and didn't go to send them off.
Everyone knew she was still sulking, but nobody spoke up about it.
