Chapter 143 Unless There's a Miracle

"Xiao Liang, I'm back."

As soon as Tao Wan entered the house, she noticed peeling paint on the living room floor. Looking up, she saw that both the light bulb and the lampshade that should have been there were gone.

While setting down her basket of vegetables, she asked loudly, "Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang, come out."

Her son Huo Liang stuck his head out from the bedroom. "What's wrong?"

"Where are the lampshade and light bulb?"

"Oh, that... The teacher gave us an assignment to bring an electrical appliance or piece of furniture we're interested in to class for a presentation, so I took the lampshade down."

Tao Wan placed the leafy greens into a bowl of water and asked, "Are you interested in lampshades?"

"Mmm... Mmm." Huo Liang nodded.

Tao Wan washed her hands and said, "Son, come here."
