After Da Bao finished drinking the water, he ran out. Ning Huan looked at the four little ones' clean and white faces, and realized that giving them a bath was worth all the hard work.
By the time she finished washing the wooden basin, she was already drenched in sweat. She couldn't help but sigh at how poor the original owner's physical condition was.
However, Ning Huan also noticed that she had lost some weight due to her busy schedule these past few days.
Although the pustules on my face haven't disappeared, they've been contained and are no longer increasing.
Although Ning Huan didn't care much about appearance, she couldn't stand the original owner's appearance.
Moreover, although she is a food blogger in her own world, she has always maintained a fitness routine and is a well-proportioned and beautiful girl.
She decided to take good care of the original owner's face and figure.
Just as she was thinking about what to eat tonight, the noise of several little children came from the yard, interspersed with the voice of a little girl with a high-pitched voice.
Ning Huan walked over and found a little girl with her hair in two buns standing in the yard arguing with Xiao Sanbao.
With her hands on her hips, she shouted, "Give it to me right now, you ungrateful brat!"
The little brat retorted, not to be outdone: "You're the one who was born of a mother but raised without a father! Your whole family was born without a father and raised without a mother!"
"You little brat, how dare you insult my whole family?"
"Hmph, who told you to insult me!"
"I'll curse you all I want, I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!"
The two children each cursed at the little girl and tried to push her. The little girl refused to be pushed, and the two started to scuffle.
The other three little ones naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Xiao Sanbao be bullied, so they joined in and pushed the little girl. As a result, when both sides pulled at each other, the little girl was pushed down by Xiao Sanbao.
She cried and said, "How dare you bully me! If my parents find out, they'll break your legs!"
Ning Huan stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?"
Who knew that the little girl, who was arguing with the four little dumplings one second, got up from the ground and stood in front of them the next second, saying to Ning Huan, "We didn't do anything, we were just playing here! Don't even think about bullying them today."
This sudden change left Ning Huan somewhat bewildered, both amused and exasperated.
āIām not bullying them. I only came out to ask because I heard you arguing.ā
She knew from the original owner's memories that the little girl in front of her was called Xiao Taozi, and was a child of the Zhu family in the village. Her fiery personality was very much like her mother's.
Little Peach snorted coldly: "Stop pretending! You don't care about them at all. You just beat and scold them all the time. You're a bad auntie!"
The reason this little girl dared to speak so boldly was partly due to her personality, and partly because the Zhu family owned the only oxcart in the village. Anyone who offended the Zhu family would have to walk to town on their own.
Therefore, many people in the village were afraid of offending the Zhu family.
Ning Huan wasn't angry. She asked softly, "Since you care so much about the four little ones, and they are your friends, why did you scold Xiao Sanbao just now?"
Little Peach snorted and said, "If he won't let me play with his things, I'll yell at him. What can you do about it!"
Ning Huan thought for a moment and said, "Did you trade your own toys for Xiao Sanbao?"
"I don't want him to play with my toys!"
She smiled helplessly and said, "You're not exchanging your own toys because you can't bear to part with them, right?"
Little Peach nodded, and Ning Huan continued, "Will Little Sanbao also be reluctant to part with his toys, just like you?"
But Little Peach persisted, saying, "You're their mother, so of course you'll side with your own children! Your whole family is bullying me!"
She shook her head: "I'm not siding with the third child; you're all at fault in this matter."
She then looked at Xiao Sanbao and said, "First of all, Xiao Sanbao shouldn't be stingy with his friends. As friends, you should know how to share. Do you understand?"
Then Ning Huan looked at the other three little ones: "You can't side with your relatives and ignore what's right. You should correct the person who made the mistake in time, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the four little ones lowered their heads slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
As the older brother, Da Bao was the first to realize he had made a mistake. He stepped forward and apologized to Xiao Taozi: "I'm sorry, Xiao Taozi. I shouldn't have helped my third brother bully you just now."
Seeing that Da Bao had admitted his mistake, the other three little ones also stepped forward to admit theirs.
Xiao Erbao stepped forward and said, "Xiao Taozi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have watched you and Xiao Sanbao argue and ignored you, and even joined in cursing you."
Xiao Sibao also lowered his head and apologized.
Xiao Sanbao hesitated for a moment, then apologized to Xiao Taozi: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake just now. From now on, you can play with all my toys, and I'll share them with you."
Little Peach felt a little embarrassed as she watched the little dumplings apologizing to her.
"You don't need to apologize to me. I also made mistakes earlier..."
Ning Huan watched them sincerely apologize to each other, nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "As good friends, you shouldn't hit or scold each other casually. You should know how to share. Otherwise, even the best of friends will drift apart because of sadness. Don't you agree?"
The four little dumplings and Little Peach nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Seeing the children reconcile, Ning Huan smiled and walked towards the kitchen: "You guys play first, I'll go wash some fruit for you to eat."
Lying in the room, Zhou Jing'an was even more puzzled when he heard Ning Huan instructing the little ones. The Ning Huan of the past would never have said such things.
Ning Huan has changed so much lately. In Zhou Jing'an's heart, there was even a hint of anticipation for what surprising thing Ning Huan would do next.
Ning Huan picked a few sweet pears from her consciousness space. In addition to herbs, there were also many vegetables and fruits from the modern world in this space. They were all specially cultivated varieties, which is why Ning Huan planted them in her consciousness space.
After washing the pears, she gave them to the four little ones. The golden pears were translucent and looked so delicious that they made your mouth water.
But Da Bao wasn't in a hurry to take it, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you get these pears?"
They rarely get to eat fruit, let alone such delicious pears.
This wicked woman used to have delicious food, but she would never share it with them; she would always secretly hide it away for herself.
Why are you being so generous today? Something's definitely up!
Ning Huan didn't expect Da Bao to ask that. After thinking for a moment, she said, "When I went up the mountain to collect herbs, I came across a pear tree by chance. The pears looked good, so I picked some. Don't worry, eat them."
As she spoke, she took a pear from the basin and started eating it.
Seeing the wicked woman eating pears without any problems, the four little ones felt relieved and started eating pears themselves.
