By evening, the neighbors finally dispersed.
Only Lu Li and his parents were left in the house.
As soon as Dad closed the door, Mom brushed over and stared intently at her son's face.
Knowing he was at fault, Lu Li quickly admitted his mistake, saying, "Mom and Dad, I shouldn't have kept some things from you before, and lately, I have indeed been busy outside. Please don't be mad at me."
"Mad?" Mom's expressionless face suddenly bloomed with a smile, "Why would I be mad at my precious son? Look at that, all the neighbors and townsfolk today were so friendly, all praising you for your abilities. Some relatives even called to ask what's going on. Oh, right, Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhang brought some eggs and vegetables for me and your dad."
Dad, standing there, remarked emotionally, "Just a few days ago, they didn't even dare talk to us, but today you made such a huge contribution to the country, and their attitude changed immediately. Son, you did well with this!"
