Bai Jixuan didn't say anything. When he smelled the scent of meat, he knew that Fang Qing must have used the money that he gave to her to subsidise her family once again. He was upset but he was wise enough to know that he could not quarrel with Fang Qing at that moment.
If he fought with her, then she would use the opportunity to keep the kids at the Citrus Village.
"Calm down; don't forget why we are," Bai Jixuan reminded Ba Zhan, who snorted but didn't quibble with him. The two brothers walked to the Fang house and upon arriving at the threshold, Bai Jixuan pressed the doorbell.
"Damn, who is interrupting my meal?" A booming voice came from inside the house, followed by thumping footsteps. The door was pulled open and Big Brother Fang, with a chicken leg and oily mouth, scowled at Bai Jixuan and Bau Zhan.
But when he saw who it was, he immediately straightened up and flattered Bai Jixuan, "Brother-in-law, why are you here? You should have called us."
If this man had called them, then they would have hidden all the good things!
Bai Jixuan had known Big Brother Fang for a long time; thus, he knew him very well; his petty thoughts couldn't escape Bai Jixuan.
But Bai Jixuan was in a hurry and had no time to waste with Big Brother Fang.
His sister was in a vulnerable situation and wanted to see her nephews to cheer herself up. He had to bring his sons as quickly as possible to her!
Bai Jixuan heaved a sigh and said, "Call your sister, there is something I want to say to her."
Big Brother Fang naturally thought that Bai Jixuan had some qualms regarding their expenses now that he had seen him eating meat and went inside to goad his sister. Thus, when Fang Qing came out, she was tall and mighty like a rooster preparing to fight.
With her hands on her hips, she said to Bia Jixuan, "What do you want?"
If someone didn't know the situation well, they would think that Bai Jixuan and Bai Zhan were the ones who came to pester this woman!
"You—" Bai Zhan began.
But before he could say anything, he was stopped by Bai Jixuan, who held his hand and said to Fang Qing, "I am here to bring Qian Han and Jiuque. Mother misses them and asked me to bring them back home for a few days."
He paused and added, "And the rice in the fields also needs to be harvested; let the boys come with me and help around."
