Four-year-old Juanjuan was unloved by her father, ignored by her mother, and bullied by her older brothers. Left to shoulder the burden of a broken family all on her own.
Then one day, her pa...
Bai Yunxing glanced at his mother and said, "Maybe... I don't know. I've never been engaged, so I don't know. Brother, don't you know either?"
Bai Yunqi, who has cultivated for a thousand years and has never been in a relationship: ...
That's a bit presumptuous of me.
Bai Yun'an casually laughed and said, "I'm not feeling well."
Juanjuan: "Is it because Mother was talking to another man?"
Bai Yun'an ruffled his sister's hair: "It's not that simple. It's the atmosphere, and most importantly... Mu Shi isn't ugly, so it's easy for people to mistakenly think that Mu Shi and Mother like each other."
Bai Yun frowned and looked at his third brother beside him.
Is it okay to just tell your sister this so directly?
"No, Mother won't like this person."
The child's affirmative voice came from the side, which surprised the three older brothers next to him.
Juanjuan glanced at her brothers, then lowered her voice and voiced her opinion: "Because Mother only wants to make money, and also..."
She paused, tilted her head slightly to the side, and showed an embarrassed expression, making one wonder, "What else?"
Bai Yunqi: "What else?"
The little guy smiled shyly and said with a touch of pride, "And he likes to stick to me!"
Three older brothers: ...
But it seems to make some sense.
"What are you guys doing? What are you doing, sticking things on?"
Jiang Dai's slightly gossipy voice came over, and you could tell from her voice that she was in a good mood.
Juanjuan looked at her mother: "Mother likes making money and likes being close to me."
Looking at her well-behaved and adorable little girl who was looking at her with her bright, round eyes, Jiang Dai couldn't help but show her affection.
He immediately reached out and rubbed the little guy's soft cheeks.
"You got it right! You're truly my little daughter!"
Bai Yun'an looked at his happy mother, and then glanced at his father, who had appeared at the entrance of the main house at some point.
She couldn't help but say, "Mother, Father seems a little unhappy."
Jiang Dai: ?
"What's wrong with him? Did you make Dad angry?"
Jiang Dai didn't even think about herself; she was only thinking about the children in front of her.
And he paid special attention to his eldest son.
Bai Yunqi: ?
Why are you looking at him? It's not like he's the one who made Dad angry.
"Mother, is it possible that it's because Father saw you smiling so happily at Mu Shi just now?"
Bai Yunqi refused the pot his mother threw at him and chose to throw the pot that had angered his father back at her.
Jiang Dai: "Hmm?"
Although she didn't understand, she would still subconsciously try to find and comfort her when she heard that her own people were unhappy.
As their mother got up and went to their father's side, all four children's eyes followed her.
Humans, and even some animals, are born with the instinct to watch the drama unfold.
Juanjuan wouldn't have dared to do that before, but now... of course she's going to be on the front lines watching the drama unfold!
Before they could even eat the melon, the children saw their father glance at them, then pull his mother into the house with one hand, and then, quite stingily, close the door behind him.
"It's closed."
Juanjuan pointed to the closed door.
Bai Yun waved his hand and lowered his voice, saying, "The door is closed, but the window is still open. Let's go and listen by the window."
Even if you were standing by the window, you might not be able to hear it clearly, but who is Bai Yunqi?
That's just self-proclaimed enthusiasm; it's most fun to share the gossip.
Use your spiritual power to slightly amplify the volume in your younger siblings' ears. It won't be very loud; it will just be loud enough for them to hear clearly.
Almost as soon as they settled down, Juanjuan and the others heard faint sounds coming from inside the house.
