Chapter 276 The Little Girl's Playfulness

What? Didn't that huge dragon fruit fill your tummy? Besides, freshly fried pumpkin cakes are very likely to cause internal heat!

I remember the last time you came to my house, didn't my older sister give you a big bag of snacks? And I saw that there were a lot of snacks in that bag that are easy to cause internal heat.

Really? How come I didn't know about this? Maybe my mom hid it after she took that big bag of snacks home!

Before the little girl could finish speaking, Jianmei, who was sitting next to her, immediately said, "When I took that bag of snacks back, I was just about to hide them."

But Xiaoyu saw it and, without thinking twice, snatched the big bag of snacks from my hand.

One afternoon, I sat alone in front of the computer with a big bag of snacks, watching "Empresses in the Palace" while eating the snacks.

Don't live too comfortably! Otherwise, little accidents might happen! Guess what?

Haha! Could it be that the little girl ate too much spicy food and that's why she had a nosebleed? Didn't I give her several cans of infant formula before?

Yes! What's wrong? Now I brew a little bit of this little jade plantation to drink every night before going to bed.

The water used to prepare formula should not be boiling hot, but rather lukewarm so that it is less likely to cause constipation. I also gave Jianying's daughter a small can of formula before.

As soon as she got the formula, she opened it and ate it directly without mixing it with warm water. It seems like that makes her more prone to getting constipated!

Just as we were chatting enthusiastically, the younger daughter placed a bowl in front of the little girl and then poured some Lei Cha (pounded tea) into it.

The little girl saw that her younger daughter was trying to force her to drink Lei Cha (a type of tea), so she tried to run away, but Jianmei held her firmly down on the sofa.

Hey sis! Where are you headed? I've already served you a big bowl of Lei Cha (pounded tea). After you finish this bowl, you can go do whatever you want!

Mom won't stop you, okay? You really need to drink more cooling Lei Cha (擂茶)! Because lately you've been eating a lot of things that cause internal heat.

And during this time, you don't want to drink any cooling herbal tea that you drank a while ago!

Waaaaah! But my dear mommy! This herbal tea for cooling down is so bitter! Can I not drink it?

Hehe! Little girl, have you ever heard the saying, "Good medicine tastes bitter, but it's good for the disease"?

Of course I've heard about it! But I'm perfectly healthy now, aren't I? I don't have any problems at all!

So you don't want to drink this bitter and awful Lei Cha, right? Hey! Why are you so afraid of drinking Lei Cha, little girl?

Miss, didn't I just clearly tell you that the reason I don't want to drink Lei Cha is because it's too bitter?

Haha! No way! Little girl, I think the reason you don't like drinking Lei Cha is because you're too fierce!

Haha! Little sister, are you saying that classic line from the movie "Jiang Le"—"Evil people don't eat soup"?

Hehehe! How could I possibly have a bad temper? I'm always incredibly nice in front of you guys, okay?

And I never lose my temper in front of you, okay?

That's because we all spoil you so much! We don't want you to suffer any injustice here. If you stayed with your second aunt and second brother, you'd see.

Hahaha! Wouldn't that little girl instantly explode with anger? Don't be fooled by how obediently the little girl stands there while being scolded by her aunt every time her second aunt tries to discipline her.

Who knows what the little girl is saying about her second aunt behind her back! After all, the second aunt is very unhappy that the little girl always complains about her second brother.

So, sister! I've always told you not to speak ill of your brother in front of your aunt. Why won't you take my words to heart?

But what should I do if my mother and second brother scold me for no reason every time they see me? Haven't I always apologized to him for what happened back then?

Why is he always so mean to me? Are my apologies and attempts to appease him worthless? All I wanted was for my second brother to stop speaking ill of me from now on.

Does this mean I've become an unforgivable sinner? Do you know? It's because of this that my aunt really wants me to copy scriptures and worship Buddha.

Little girl, everyone has some past events they don't want to talk about! Perhaps these past events are insignificant in other people's eyes.

But in the eyes of the person involved, it's a scar they don't want to talk about! If you could put yourself in their shoes, you'd realize that your aunt is pushing all the blame onto you.

Actually, it's a sign of extreme trust in you! Because she knows that no matter what she says about you, you won't do anything to hurt her or your second brother.

However, the reason she asked you to copy scriptures and worship Buddha was because she really hoped that you could always have a peaceful state of mind.

Haha! If that's what you're saying, then why didn't Auntie ask Second Brother to copy scriptures and worship Buddha?

Do you think your second brother would listen to your second aunt and copy Buddhist scriptures? And there are many things you don't know that your second aunt's family was very poor back then.

To make a living, we had no choice but to leave your second brother at home with his grandparents. You know what your second brother's health condition is!

Besides, in those days, there were countless left-behind children like your second brother! Most of them were cared for by their grandparents!

Then think about it: the vast majority of their grandparents never went to school. How could they possibly raise their grandchildren well?

Of course, you should let your own grandchildren do whatever makes you happy! You're just a little weak and often get sick, so your classmates always bully you.

They isolated you and ostracized you! But thankfully, your father and I have always been there to protect you. We try our best to minimize the harm those immature children can cause you.

But have you ever thought about what would happen if your second brother was bullied by other students at school?

Who should he talk to? Should he talk to his grandparents at home, or his aunt and uncle who sell fruit in Xiamen?

Fine! So what if your second brother tells your second aunt and uncle, who sell fruit in Xiamen, about being bullied by other students at school?

Do you think they can rush into the school and teach those students who bully you a lesson, just like your father and I did?

It's fortunate that your father was a teacher at your school. If your father and your second aunt's husband were just ordinary farmers, what would you have done then?

Mom, what exactly do you mean by saying all this to me?
