Tian Manlan moved her mouth, wanting to say that she would move it later, but her nephew, niece, and son were all staring at her coldly. Fearing to anger the children, Tian Manlan dared not speak further and turned back to the kitchen to cook.
Tian Sisi saw Tian Manlan entering the kitchen and felt relieved. Fortunately, it wasn't beyond redemption.
Tian Xinhua smiled and tugged at Tian Sisi's hair. Ah Nan was truly cunning, watching Shou Jizu's frail body, moving those two bundles of firewood must have almost cost him half his life. He Chengsi and Tian Xinhua, being strong, knew that those two bundles weighed at least seventy to eighty pounds indeed almost cost Shou Jizu half his life.
When it was almost time for dinner, Shou Jizu entered with a pale face and unsteady steps. Tian Sisi specifically went out to check; the firewood was indeed all piled in the woodshed, but many small branches and leaves were scattered on the ground and the firewood in the shed was a mess.
