Everyone chose not to speak out for the eldest brother.
The room fell silent, heavy with tension.
Then, the loud voice of Bai Yunqi, the eldest son of the Bai family, came from outside the door.
"Juanjuan, I'm back! Mom and the others probably haven't come back yet!"
"Sweet potatoes aren't that easy to dig up. Yesterday I watched my mother dig for a long time, but she didn't dig up anything..."
Bai Yunqi's tone took a very abrupt turn.
"Wow……"
"They're all here."
Bai Yunqi knew his transition was abrupt, but what could he do?
He looked at his family members all in the room, felt the slightly eerie atmosphere, and saw his father desperately trying to signal to him and his brothers who sympathized with him.
"I'll go check if the chickens have been fed."
Bai Yunqi said this as he turned to leave.
But Jiang Dai spoke in a deep voice: "Stop!"
Bai Yunqi wasn't stupid; he immediately took off running.
What else?
Are we just going to stand there and take a beating?
Bai Tian looked at his eldest son who had run away and sighed with a hint of heartache.
[Oh no, oh no! Why didn't you just stand still? Why did you have to run?]
Juanjuan was puzzled.
The next second, the child's confusion turned into shock.
because……
"I told you to stop right there!"
Just moments ago, she was gently embracing her mother, but now she had rolled up her sleeves, grabbed a broken wooden stick, and started chasing after her.
"I told you not to run! I told you not to run away!"
"Mom! I was wrong, I was wrong! Please stop hitting me!"
"Still running? Still running!"
"If I don't run, am I just waiting for you to beat me up?!"
Juanjuan stared in disbelief as her mother chased after her older brother and beat him up.
Bai Tian clicked his tongue and said, "What a beautiful scene of motherly love and filial piety!"
Bai Yunxing: [Is this a case of maternal love and filial piety? Is this how the phrase is used?]
Bai Yun'an: [When should we eat roasted sweet potatoes?!]
Just as everyone was watching the drama unfold, Bai Yunqi suddenly darted over.
He blocked the still bewildered Juanjuan in front of him.
Bai Yunqi: "It was Juanjuan! Juanjuan let me out!"
Juanjuan trembled, looking at her mother who was radiating anger, and said in a trembling, childish voice, "Mother, Mother."
She was trying to awaken her mother's remaining maternal love.
Jiang Dai looked at the somewhat frightened little girl in front of her, took a deep breath, and instantly put on a smile.
"Fine! White Dog Egg! You've got guts! Hiding behind your sister."
Bai Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, my sister works well.
Jiang Dai turned to look at Bai Tian, who was watching the commotion intently.
Bai Tian:?
"Bai Tian! Is this how you discipline your son?!"
Bai Tian coughed as he stepped forward, mimicking his grandfather's old ways of mediating and resolving the "fierce battle" before him.
"Dog Egg! Quickly tell your mother you're wrong! Now!"
"Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Fortunately, the child understood and apologized immediately.
Bai Tian patted his little girl and gestured to her with his eyes for her to comfort her mother.
Juanjuan immediately understood and went to comfort her mother.
Bai Tian chuckled and said, "Alright, let's eat quickly! I'll go to town tomorrow to buy some rice and flour."
Just as Bai Tian finished speaking.
All eyes in the family were on him.
Jiang Dai: "To town?"
Bai Yunqi: "Can I go?"
Bai Yunxing: "Dad, are you going to town?"
Bai Yun'an: "I want to go too!"
Bai Tian: "You guys don't all want to go, do you?!"
Juanjuan shook her head, actually not really wanting to, afraid of another mishap.
Jiang Dai: "I haven't been to town yet. What if my family lives there? I might remember it if I go for a walk around!"
Bai Yunxing: "Father, I'm still a little dizzy. I want to go to town to see a doctor. I'm afraid the doctor here isn't very skilled."
Bai Yun'an: "Dad, I can't bear to leave you and Mom!"
Then I saw that my two younger brothers had started to speak.
Bai Yunqi, as the eldest brother, also said, "Father, I'll go and watch over your younger brother for you."
Juanjuan looked at her father with pleading eyes: "Daddy, Juanjuan doesn't want to be home alone..."
"No, who's in town?! You all have to go!"
Bai Tian was a little worried; how many copper coins would this cost?
Jiang Dai: ?
This phrase sounds familiar! Unfortunately, apart from me, no one else here knows it.
