Chapter 2250 I've been fooled and am crippled
"We won!" Mu Mu shouted excitedly, and Xiao Huo Huo reacted as well. The two children looked at Shu Yu with bright eyes.
Mumu said, "I know that the loser will be punished."
Little Fire nodded emphatically, "Punishment."
"Of course, I accept the punishment." Shu Yu looked at the two of them with amusement.
Mumu tilted her head in thought, "Then what should we punish them for?"
Shu Yu smiled kindly, "We agreed that the loser would have to recite a poem as punishment."
"Huh?" Mu Mu blinked and looked at Huo Huo. "Reciting? Did we...did we agree on that?"
Why is it a recitation? Isn't the loser supposed to be fined? He saw the servants in his household making a bet, saying that the loser would have to pay two coins.
He didn't know how much two coins were, or whether they were enough to buy candied hawthorns and sugar figurines. He wanted to eat one himself, give one to his younger brother Huo Huo, one to his older brother Le Le, and also give one to his parents, grandparents, and the aunts and uncles in front of him.
But if I endorse it, won't I be unable to buy candied hawthorns?
Shu Yu nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we agreed on that the loser would have to recite the text. Otherwise, you can ask the others; it's a very serious punishment, and we have to abide by it."
Mu Mu looked at Meng Yunzheng sitting opposite her, who nodded with a serious expression.
Little Song Le, standing to the side, had a troubled expression on her face. What should she do? What should she say if her little brother Mu Mu asked her? Children shouldn't lie, but... but Auntie must have her reasons for saying that.
However, Song Le, who was also a child, did not receive any attention from her two younger brothers.
After receiving confirmation from Meng Yunzheng and Aunt Hong, they breathed a long sigh of relief and chuckled, "So the loser has to memorize something! We all forgot. Luckily we won." None of them knew how to memorize it.
Xiao Song Le, "..."
The two children were completely taken aback. After getting off Shu Yu's lap, they sat down on a stool nearby and began to inspect the fruits of their victory.
Shu Yuliang felt a pang of heartache, then closed his eyes and began reciting the Three Character Classic, "At the beginning of life, people are inherently good..."
The two children's eyes started swirling in circles after listening for a short while, and they swayed unsteadily, feeling dizzy.
What should I do? This is so painful.
Little Huo Huo looked distressed and said softly, "Brother Mu Mu, I miss my parents."
"I miss them too. This is indeed a terrible punishment." I want to cry, but I can't. I have to be strong and hold back.
Aunt Hong almost burst out laughing when she heard them whispering.
She couldn't help but look at Xiao Song Le. When Xiao Song Le left with Miss Lu, she seemed to be about the same age as Mu Mu. Was she the same age during the journey?
Actually, Aunt Hong was overthinking it. Xiao Song Le and Mu Mu Huo Huo are different; their upbringing and environment are completely different.
Leaving aside Mumu, even Huohuo is pampered and loved by everyone, even though he has both parents.
A child's innocence and active nature are rooted in the love and care of their parents.
Little Song Le had nothing back then and couldn't even speak, but he was well-behaved and quiet. However, the more sensible he was, the more Shu Yu devoted her energy to guiding and caring for him step by step.
"Auntie, haven't you finished reciting it yet?" Mumu asked softly.
Shu Yu shook her head. "No, since it's a punishment, you have to carry it for at least an hour."
An hour... how long is that?
