Chapter 481 Fear of Facing

But this is his father, so he didn't dare to directly criticize him at this moment.

After all, he only has one father now, what if he hurts him badly?

So he shook his head, "My second sister was probably in a good mood at noon, but maybe she saw that there was nothing in the house in the afternoon..."

Liu Shiping didn't say anything more, letting his father figure it out for himself.

Upon hearing this, Liu Weisong shrank back, realizing that what he had done might have crossed his daughter's line.

Liu Shile was almost amused by the behavior of the father and son outside.

Especially her father, who clearly knew he had done something wrong, but he still did it. Why was that?

"Dad, are you done washing up?" Liu Shiping finished washing her hands and was about to go inside when she saw her father dawdling there.

At this moment, he really wanted to roll his eyes.

I really want to say, "Dad, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

You took all your belongings out of the house without saying a word back then, so what are you afraid of now?

Show your old bravado when you face your second sister!

However, he could only think such thoughts in his head. If he actually dared to say them out loud, he might get a beating.

He didn't want to get beaten up, so he swallowed those words back.

"Ah, that's good, that's good, I'm all set." Liu Weisong said nervously.

He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the frost on Lele's face.

This child has never had such a commanding presence before.

Why have you changed so much since you came back this time?

Well, she used to have a strong presence, but it wasn't directed at him, so he didn't feel anything.

Even if you dawdle, washing your hands won't take much time.

When Liu Weisong entered the room and sat down on the bench, he found that the bench was missing a corner, and he almost tripped and fell.

Liu Weisong...

Liu Weisong then realized that this was the only kind of stool he had at home.

Seeing his prospective son-in-law catch him in time, Liu Weisong blushed.

"Um, Xiaolin, please excuse my poor appearance."

You must be tired after coming back, right? Come and eat, eat!

At this point, he realized that his family had no food at all and assumed that his future son-in-law had managed to get it, which made him even more embarrassed.

"Dad, we're fine. Sit tight so you don't fall."

Lin Ziming remained calm, with a smile on his face.

This relieved Liu Weisong. Thank goodness his future son-in-law had come too, otherwise…

Liu Shiping didn't stand on ceremony. Although he had eaten a bowl of rice before coming back, he was still hungry.

"Shiping, didn't you just eat? Why are you eating again? Let your sister and your brother Lin eat."

Seeing his son pick up his chopsticks and start eating, Liu Weisong felt a little uncomfortable, so he spoke up.

"Dad, Shiping is at the age where he's growing. How can he grow if he's not fed enough?"

Liu Shile was so angry with her father that she lost her temper. Her father was really something else; she didn't know what to say about him.

If her adoptive mother were home, she probably wouldn't have let him do this.

However, the thought only flashed through her mind, and Liu Shile had no intention of bringing her back.

"Yes, Dad, Shiping is still young, we need to make sure he's well-fed."

You should eat some more; communal meals don't have much nutritional value after all.

Lin Ziming was also helpless, and quickly smiled to help his father-in-law out of the predicament.

Lele is good in every way, but she herself doesn't realize that she actually cares a lot about family ties.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have treated the Liu family this way.

"Well, that's true. Shiping, you should eat more. I just ate, so I won't eat anymore. Lele, Xiaolin, you two should eat more."

The aroma was irresistible, and it would be a lie for Liu Weisong to say he didn't want to eat it.

However, he was too embarrassed to eat with them, since there wasn't a single grain of rice left in the house.

His face flushed slightly at the thought of this, but fortunately it was nighttime, so it wasn't very noticeable.

Of course, this was just his own opinion; in reality, Liu Shile and Lin Ziming both saw it very clearly.

There's nothing we can do; they have such sharp eyesight.

Liu Shile awkwardly ladled a bowl of rice and placed it in front of her father without saying anything more.

Lin Ziming urged him to eat a little more.

Finally, although Liu Weisong was still very embarrassed, he couldn't help but start eating.

The main reason was that the food smelled so good, and it kept wafting into his nose, making it hard for him to ignore.

And so, he succumbed.

I must say, the food at home is definitely much tastier than the food cooked in a large pot.

Having not eaten meat for a long time, he was initially hesitant to eat more, but because the dishes were so delicious, he eventually lost control.

As a result, the food on the table was completely devoured by them, and Liu Shiping drank every last drop of soup.

After finishing his meal, Liu Weisong got up to clear the dishes, mainly because he didn't want to face his daughter.

However, Liu Shiping directly took over the job.

Dad wants to run away, but it depends on whether Liu Shiping will agree!

Hmph, do you really think that just because you're young and can't fight back, he can do whatever he wants?

Now, the people who dealt with him are back. Let's see how he faces them!

Although Liu Shiping didn't openly rebel against his father, he had long harbored resentment in his heart.

Liu Weisong was quite embarrassed when his job was taken away. He didn't know whether to sit or stand. He had a mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Liu Shile wanted to say something, but Lin Ziming squeezed her hand, signaling her to leave first.

Liu Shile was somewhat reluctant, but in the end she chose to listen to Lin Ziming.

Lin Ziming is better at handling things than she is. Since he wants to talk to his father first, let him do so.

After all, she didn't really intend to fall out with her adoptive father.

Liu Weisong finally breathed a sigh of relief after his daughter, who had been putting pressure on him, left.

With Lin Ziming chatting happily with him, Liu Weisong quickly relaxed.

Seeing that he had relaxed, Lin Ziming began to recount their experiences.

The main point was that they didn't see anyone working in the fields and expressed concern about the future harvest.

Finally, he remarked that it seemed like it hadn't rained for a long time this year.

Originally, Liu Weisong and his prospective son-in-law were having a pretty good chat.

But as they talked, Liu Weisong began to feel that something was amiss.

If there are no farmers working in the fields to take care of the crops, where will they buy food in the future?

Although we eat from the same pot now, the food can't just appear out of thin air, can it?

There must be farmers planting the land and then harvesting to produce food, right?

Thinking about the old system of communal meals and then about the current system, Liu Weisong's expression suddenly turned sour.

He's not stupid; he was just blinded by the idyllic future life that others had painted for him.

Now, listening to his prospective son-in-law's words, he broke out in a cold sweat.

If no one takes care of things in the fields, what will they eat and drink in the future?

"The trees in the mountains have been cut down quite severely. If this continues, it will be difficult to catch even a wild rabbit in the future."

Just then, he heard his prospective son-in-law sigh like that again.

Immediately, Liu Weisong's pupils contracted.
