No matter how Liu Fang interrogated her, Yun Lian refused to admit that she still had money on her.
Liu Fang could not contain her anger. She grabbed the broom on the bed and hit Yun Lian’s slender arm. This hit happened to hit the most fragile part of her arm. Yun Lian’s right arm immediately swelled up with a big bump. Whatever she did now would affect this muscle, and it hurt so much that she grimaced.
“Mom, I want to eat steamed egg tonight.” Yun Lang said to Liu Fang, who was picking up clothes in the yard while he was playing with his toys.
“Okay, let your sister steam an egg for you tonight.”
Although the living conditions in Yun Gang’s family were not very good, Liu Fang still tried her best to satisfy her son’s needs. Especially when she thought about how she did not treat her son well that day.
“Yun Lian, go to our storeroom to get a bigger egg and steam it for your brother tonight.”
Liu Fang basically did not have to do any of the work at home. She left it all to Yun Lian, especially when it came to sweeping the floor and cooking. In the past, Liu Fang would still do some work, but since Yun Lian was able to take care of them herself, such things were left to Yun Lian.
“Got it. I’ll go right away,” Yun Lian promised.
She wanted to eat an egg herself. However, with the current situation at home, these nutritious things naturally had to be given to Yun Lang. If Yun Gang was still an officer, the family would sometimes steam a big bowl of eggs. She would secretly dig up a few spoonfuls, and no one would say anything.
Now, Yun Lian could only watch Yun Lang eat.
“What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go get one. Do it now!”
“Oh, okay.”
Yun Lian could only hold on. Even though her arm was throbbing in pain, she still had to finish all the work that needed to be done.
“Hurry up, I’m hungry.” Yun Lang urged from the side.
Yun Lian could only rush to the storeroom to pick up an egg. She then walked to the stove to crack the egg open. She had to put the egg liquid into a bowl.
However, her right arm was too painful. She did not even have the strength to lift her entire arm. Yun Lian had just picked up the slippery egg when her right hand could no longer hold it.
She could only watch the egg slide down her hand, but it was too late for her to react.
“Crack.”
The egg fell to the ground.
Yun Lian felt as though she was glued to the ground. She did not know what to do. Yun Lang was the first person to see the situation in the kitchen. When he saw the broken egg on the ground, he quickly shouted at the door.
“Mom, sister broke the egg.” Although the egg was not a rare food item, it was definitely not cheap in this era.
Liu Fang heard her son’s shout and immediately threw down the thing in her hand. She then ran towards Yun Lian. When she saw Yun Lian standing there in a daze and the muddy egg liquid on the ground, Liu Fang was furious.
“What can I even ask you to do? I asked you to cook an egg and you wasted another egg of mine.” Liu Fang scolded while she pushed Yun Lian into the kitchen.
“Mom, don’t blame me. My hands aren’t feeling very well.”
Seeing that Liu Fang was going to punish her, Yun Lian hurriedly dodged and avoided Liu Fang’s hand that was about to push her.
“You only know how to waste my money. I’ll beat you to death today, you little slut.” Liu Fang thought of the 100 yuan tuition fee that she failed to get back this morning, and her temper flared up again. She grabbed the small shovel beside the stove and swung it at Yun Lian.
“Mom, stop hitting me. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Mom, I broke the egg because my arm was painful. I really didn’t do it on purpose. Please forgive me!” Yun Lian explained while she tried to dodge Liu Fang’s attack.
“Are you saying that it’s my fault then?” Liu Fang was still unforgiving.
