Chen Jianye also knew he would probably not be able to leave without giving the ten yuan, so he reluctantly handed them over, and only then did Old Li and his brothers let them pass.
The pair returned home before lunchtime.
At their first sight of Li Chunhua, the Chen Family were stunned, almost failing to recognize her.
In just two months, Li Chunhua had lost a significant amount of weight, her face worn out and wretched, clearly showing she had had a hard time.
With her head bowed in a timid manner, she murmured, "Dad, mom, I'm back."
Ma Xiulian didn't intend to make things difficult for her. She merely responded indifferently, "Hmm, come in."
Looking at her state, she figured Chunhua would be quiet for a good long while this time.
As soon as Li Chunhua entered the house, she held her little son, calling out repeatedly, "Jinbao, my good son, mommy missed you so much!"
As she called out, she showered him with kisses.
