"No need to count. I bet you don't dare to deceive me! Let's go, guys!" With that shout from the 'foreman,' everyone in the courtyard quickly followed him and left.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet.
"Dad? What's going on?" An Hao asked.
"Nothing, nothing." An Shuchao tugged at the coat draped over him, looking at his two children with both happiness and worry.
"Dad, these people weren't here to work, right? They looked more like debt collectors to me." Anyone could see the clues from such a scene, let alone An Hao.
"No, really not! They were just here to work, quickly come inside!" An Shuchao swallowed his words; these weren't things meant for the children to know.
It was rare for both children to come back for a day; he didn't want to bring these things up and trouble their minds.
"Dad, are you sure everything's okay?" An Hao couldn't quite believe it.
