At these words, everyone was startled.
Seeing the children's expressions change, Zhao Lizhen quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not, I didn't!"
Rather than her trifecta of denials, the children were more concerned about when they could see their little pets.
Zhao Lizhen was about to tear her hair out. She had just returned, and her chair wasn't even warm yet!
She massaged her forehead. "Well, you'll probably see the little ducklings and the others tomorrow."
The children were delighted. No longer pestering Zhao Lizhen, they ran off to play together.
Zhang Fuyong asked with a smile, "You said you'd show them, but I'm curious, where are you going to get them?"
Zhao Lizhen couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "None of your business!" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "You're always there for the meal, but never when it's time to take responsibility. You have no backbone at all."
