When the villagers saw Aunt Deng, their expressions soured.
She came striding over, dragging a reluctant Deng Fugui by the hand.
The old village chief frowned in displeasure. "What are you doing back here?"
Aunt Deng, however, ignored everyone and rushed straight for the chests of treasure.
The glittering pearls and gemstones nearly blinded her.
This was all real gold and silver.
Seeing Aunt Deng's reaction, the villagers recalled how she had abandoned them and scoffed with even greater contempt.
'She ran away then, and now she's back to claim a reward?'
Deng Fugui was mortified, constantly glancing at Shen Ningning out of the corner of his eye.
He saw the little girl pouting, her big, dark eyes fixed on Aunt Deng with displeasure.
Overcome with embarrassment, Deng Fugui violently shook off his mother's hand.
"Mother, didn't you say we were never coming back?!" 'Why did she have to drag me back here?'
Aunt Deng shot him a glare.
