At 7 p.m., a knock sounded on the study door, followed by Cheng Zongliang's voice.
"B-Big Brother. It's me."
"Come in."
The door creaked as it was pushed open, and three boys shuffled in, nudging each other forward.
Cheng Zongliang was shoved to the front by Zhou Zhennan and Zhou Zhenqi, and he looked extremely nervous.
"Close the door." Cheng Zongyang leaned back in his chair, watching the three of them with an amused expression.
"Ah, I'll get it! I'll get it!" Zhou Zhenqi quickly turned to close the door. A step behind, Cheng Zongliang and Zhou Zhennan could only turn back and approach the desk.
"Alright." Cheng Zongyang gave the three of them an exasperated look and said, "And here you were, claiming you wouldn't get into any trouble. Looks like I caught you red-handed today."
The three of them immediately gave an embarrassed laugh, and Zhou Zhenqi quickly said, "Big Brother, we told the person in charge of the chicken coop, and we told Second Uncle Cheng. We told them."
