Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Quietly Getting Things Done

Lu Feng saw Fu Xiaoxiao say this and found it hard to say anything else. "Be sure to take care on the road."

"Mm," Fu Xiaoxiao nodded heavily. Seeing Lu Feng still somewhat worried, Fu Xiaoxiao gently hooked his hand, Lu Feng felt the sharp finger’s touch and looked at Fu Xiaoxiao.

"I guarantee it." Fu Xiaoxiao’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Lu Feng.

Seeing her determined gaze, Lu Feng patted her head, agreeing.

Li Si saw Lu Feng agree and immediately threw down thirty yuan before leaving, as if he was afraid to see the two children.

Little did he know, Li Lei and Li Sen had just seen everything he did from Lu Lin’s room.

"Stone, wood." Fu Xiaoxiao saw Li Si leave and called towards the room.

"Mrs. Fu." The two children ran out, looking nothing like beggars, with eyes of dependence on Fu Xiaoxiao.

"Did you hear? He’s willing to let you go back with Sister Chen Xiu, and you can go see Mom." Fu Xiaoxiao rubbed the heads of the two children.

Li Lei and Li Sen looked at each other and hugged Fu Xiaoxiao.

Burying their heads in her chest. "Thank you, Mrs. Fu."

The two children were very aware that it was Fu Xiaoxiao who had helped them behind the scenes so they could return to Chen Xiu’s side.

"From now on, you must listen to Mom and not be so naughty." Fu Xiaoxiao hugged them and whispered instructions.

"Mm." The two children nodded heavily.

As long as they could return to Chen Xiu, they would definitely listen well, and not make Mom angry anymore.

"Alright, go eat!" Fu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, urging them to wash their hands and eat.

Watching the two obediently wash hands before coming to the table, Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Feng. "So what exactly did you tell him?"

Lu Feng leaned into Fu Xiaoxiao’s ear and whispered a sentence. Fu Xiaoxiao looked incredulous and her eyes widened.

"You’re so bad!" Fu Xiaoxiao punched Lu Feng, laughed and said, "Full of wicked tricks, I like it."

Lu Feng slightly curled the corner of his mouth, feeling appreciated.

"Mr. Lu, have some vegetables." Li Lei and Li Sen proactively served Lu Feng some food, having witnessed Lu Feng say something that made Li Si relent.

They had nothing else to thank him for, so this was all they could do.

After dinner, Li Lei and Li Sen helped Lu Lin and Lu Chen tidy up the kitchen, the four kids crowded together, whispering about something, while Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng sat in the courtyard enjoying the evening breeze.

After they finished cleaning up the dishes, under Lu Lin’s direction, Li Lei and Li Sen stepped in front of Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng, suddenly kneeling down.

Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng were surprised. "What’s going on?"

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Fu, when we grow up, we will surely repay your great kindness." The two children knelt three times in respect.

Lu Feng quickly pulled them up. "A man’s knee is as precious as gold."

Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Lin and Lu Chen, knowing it was these two little ones’ idea, she laughed. "You all should read fewer comic books."

Last time at the market, Fu Xiaoxiao bought the little ones a set of children’s books, it was obvious they had learned it from them.

After a break, Fu Xiaoxiao’s whole family set out to clean up the house next door.

"You guys really stirred things up." Fu Xiaoxiao felt their tussle with Li Si was good, but seeing the mess, she didn’t know where to start.

"Hehe." Li Lei embarrassedly scratched his head; they did everything Chen Xiu would not let them do.

Though they achieved what they wished, the house was truly a mess.

"Let’s start from the doorway!" Lu Feng glanced around and decided to tidy up from the entrance.

"Alright, we’ll divide into three groups: Lu Feng, you handle moving trash; Xiao Lin, you do the cleaning; we’ll take care of organizing," Fu Xiaoxiao instructed.

The six started to move, even the little wolf cub with good legs ran over to help Lu Feng drag the trash to the door.

Their actions attracted neighboring residents. Seeing Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng bringing the children to clean up together, Aunt Liu couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"

"Helping the two kids clean up, so in a few days we can take them back to Sister Chen Xiu," Fu Xiaoxiao replied loudly.

"Really? Li Si’s willing to let the kids go back to Chen Xiu?" Aunt Liu’s eyes shone, she asked.

"Mm, thanks to everyone’s cooperation, making it so Li Si couldn’t find anyone to help him, forcing him to let the kids go back to their mom," Fu Xiaoxiao smiled at the gathered neighbors.

Fu Xiaoxiao gently patted Li Lei.

"Thank you, aunts and grandma." Li Lei and Li Sen looked at each other, bowed to Aunt Liu and others.

"Good children, don’t do that, we didn’t do anything," Aunt Liu said, eyes red, happy to see the kids returning to Chen Xiu.

"Going back to Mom is a good thing, you better not be naughty anymore."

"Yes, listen well."

Everyone laughed together.

"Come on, let’s help too; many hands make light work," Aunt Liu laughed, waved, others joined in to help clean up.

Looking at the people in the courtyard, Fu Xiaoxiao patted Li Sen and Li Lei’s heads. "Remember this scene."

"Mm." Li Lei looked at the enthusiastic aunts, tears in his eyes.

With everyone’s joint effort, Li Si’s house finally got cleaned up.

Once everyone went home, Fu Xiaoxiao helped the two kids pack their belongings.

While packing, a box suddenly fell from a hidden corner of the cabinet.

Fu Xiaoxiao picked it up to look, it was like a money box, and she quickly called Li Lei and Li Sen over.

"Stone, look, a box fell from above," Fu Xiaoxiao handed the box to them.

"Mrs. Fu, this is my dad’s money box," Li Lei explained with a smile.

"Then put it away, you help him put it back," Fu Xiaoxiao quickly said.

"No need, it’s empty inside, I put all his money in Mom’s bundle a long time ago," Li Lei smiled happily, proudly snorting.

"Ah? Does Li Si know?" Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned, not expecting the two kids had done such a big thing silently.

"He knows! That’s why he’s angry and not returning home, calling us ungrateful for spending his money," Li Lei chuckled slyly.

"That’s well done, but don’t do it again. If others find out, your reputation could be harmed. Always be open and honest, to stand tall," Fu Xiaoxiao earnestly advised, but she certainly appreciated their actions.

"Mm, we won’t do it again," Li Lei knows Fu Xiaoxiao has their best interest at heart, and obediently nodded in agreement.

Fu Xiaoxiao helped them pack their things, making two big bags, also tying up the quilts to prevent them not having any when they go.

"Alright, tomorrow I’ll take you to withdraw from school, and we can leave the day after tomorrow," Fu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, taking the two kids home.

Coincidentally, Lu Lin and Lu Chen were going to bathe, allowing the four little ones to bathe and sleep together.
