"I'm telling the truth." Liu Fang stood up and walked toward the kitchen, muttering, "He can't stand the sight of us, but he thinks that hoodlum Liu San is just wonderful."
Hearing her muttering, Xu Chunyan gave her an affectionate pat. "You're a young lady. What kind of way is that to talk, going on like some old gossip?"
Liu Fang pouted. "I just can't stand how he always sides with Liu San and the others."
Xu Chunyan felt a little upset hearing that. "Just focus on your studies. Try to pass the exam next year and get an official job in town. Then we'll see if your father still dares to look down on anyone."
Liu Fang hugged her arm. "Don't worry, Mom. I'm studying every day."
As Sun Xiuhua left Liu Guozhi's house, she saw Liu Jinbao riding his bicycle away. "Jinbao! It's time for dinner! Where are you off to?"
"I've got something to do. I'll be back later," Liu Jinbao tossed over his shoulder, pedaling away at top speed.
