Yang Chengze explained softly, "Tuantuan, it's all my fault for being late and making you suffer. Two years ago, you were stolen by bad people, and your parents and brothers have been searching for you. We finally found you today."
Although Tuantuan is three and a half years old, she understands that she has a family and a brother.
She remembered Xiaomei telling her that her brothers would be taking her home soon and that she should be patient a little longer.
Even with her brothers right in front of her, the little girl was still a bit uncertain.
Tuantuan asked timidly, "Do I...do I have a father and a mother too? You won't sell me to someone else, will you?"
Yang Chengze controlled his emotions and said gently, "Little sister, you are our own sister. We love you so much, how could we possibly sell you? When Dad comes, he will be very happy to see you."
The second brother quickly said, "Little sister, we've come to take you home."
Tuantuan asked anxiously and timidly, "Then... if I go with you, will you give me food?"
Brothers: "!! Damn human traffickers!"
"I only need to eat two meals a day." Tuantuan held up her frostbitten fingers and gestured a number 2.
Brothers: "!! That damned human trafficker!"
Seeing that her brothers remained silent, Tuantuan's eyes were red and brimming with tears, and she asked nervously, "Then... how about we have a meal together?"
Brothers: "!!" The knife!
The older brothers' hearts melted when they saw the tiny little dumpling looking at them so timidly.
Seeing that the others were silent, Tuantuan's crystal-clear tears slid down her cheeks: "I will wash your clothes, I will wash the dishes, I will cook... As long as you don't hit me, I can do any job."
Tuan Tuan's few words almost brought the older brothers to tears.
What kind of life did Tuantuan lead in Xiaoxigou before?
Zhao Guihua and Gou Dashan deserve to die for torturing such a young child; they have no conscience!
Yang Chengze fought back tears and said in a doting tone, "Tuantuan, you are our family's little princess. We will all cherish you and would never bear to lay a finger on you. If anyone dares to bully you, your brothers will definitely not let that person get away with it!"
Seeing his three-and-a-half-year-old sister looking anxious, the fourth brother, Yang Junjie, was about to lose control of his primal rage and wanted to give his sister a performance of tearing a person apart with his bare hands!
Looking at the concerned eyes of her five older brothers, Tuantuan felt like she was dreaming. She actually had brothers, she actually had her own real family, it was just too unbelievable.
cluck cluck...
The little dumpling's stomach rumbled; she was hungry.
Yang Chengze brought over a bowl of millet porridge. His delicate features and gentle smile were like the sun, illuminating the little dumpling's life.
"Little sister, have some porridge first. The doctor said your stomach has been empty for too long, so you can't eat too much at once. Here, let your brother feed you."
Second brother Yang Qixiu quickly snatched the bowl away: "Big brother, you're a domineering CEO, and you're always taken care of by others. How could you understand how tedious it is to take care of a young child? I'm a doctor, and I'm the best at taking care of people. You should leave the job of taking care of your sister to me."
Third Brother Yang glanced at Yang Qixiu casually: "Second Brother, you're a surgeon, not a pediatrician. Leave it to me. I'm best at taking care of people. My fans all say I'm a warm man and the perfect candidate for the nation's husband."
Fourth brother Yang Boyu was about to grab it when Yang Junjie, quick-witted and agile, beat him to it: "Fourth brother, you're a martial arts champion, always fighting and killing. You know how to take care of people, you're always the one being taken care of. Let me handle it. I'm the youngest of the brothers, and there's no generation gap between me and my sister."
Tuantuan was completely stunned to see her five older brothers almost coming to blows over who would feed her.
Is this... what you call caring?
She had been sick before, and Zhao Guihua and Gou Dashan would beat and scold her, calling her a money pit, a medicine addict, and a jinx, and they wouldn't take her to the doctor, leaving her to suffer on her own.
No one ever fed her because she was sick.
Seeing her brothers still vying to feed her, Tuantuan said softly, "I can eat by myself."
The older brothers' hearts broke when they heard Tuantuan's childish voice.
This child is still resistant to outsiders and hasn't been able to open his heart to accept them.
Yang Chengze took the bowl and lifted the heat-insulating lid.
"Tuantuan, let your older brother feed you. The bowl and spoon are too heavy, and you might burn yourself."
Yang Chengze's eyes were very sincere, filled with deep concern and expectation, hoping that his sister would give him a chance.
Tuantuan met her brother's expectant gaze. Looking at the large bowl, she realized she really couldn't lift it. Well... then she'd let her big brother feed her.
Tuantuan nodded cautiously, and Yang Chengze smiled.
The other brothers: "!!"
The task of feeding his younger sister fell to Yang Chengze, much to the envy and jealousy of the others.
Seeing that their younger sister was starting to relax her guard, and since the older brothers couldn't argue about it, they just watched as Yang Chengze fed Tuantuan porridge.
It was the first time Tuantuan had ever eaten soft, sweet millet porridge. It was so delicious and sweet that she drank a whole bowl in one go.
Yang Chengze moved the bowl aside and said affectionately, "Tuantuan, eat some porridge first to get used to it. In a few hours, your brother will buy you other delicious food."
Fourth brother Yang Boyu squeezed over, held Tuantuan's rough little hand, and said with heartache, "Tuantuan, from now on, with your brothers here, no one can bully you anymore!"
Yang Junjie quickly chimed in, "Tuantuan, I'm really good at kung fu! I beat Zhao Guihua and Gou Dashan up, and they can't get up yet."
Yang Boyu said with dissatisfaction, "Fifth brother, you're only fifteen years old. How can you be as good as me? I've won a martial arts championship. I can take on ten people at once!"
When Tuantuan heard the word "hit," she trembled with fear.
The other three all turned their gazes toward them, making Yang Junjie and Yang Boyu's legs go weak.
Seeing the shivering little dumpling, the two older brothers instantly beamed with joy.
Yang Boyu grinned obsequiously and patted his chest, assuring her, "Little sister, what I mean is to fight the bad guys! You're such a good and sensible girl, I'll protect you."
Yang Junjie also switched into his caring older brother mode, showing concern and love for his younger sister, making her feel the warmth from her older brother.
He knelt by the bed, his eyes full of concern, his tone sincere and earnest: "Tuantuan, your brother's fists are only for bad people, and I will never bully you. Tuantuan, you are my sister, and I will always protect you and not let bad people bully you."
Looking at the concerned eyes of her five older brothers, Tuantuan's resistance was not as strong as before, but it still revealed distrust, and she could not believe that these people would really be so good to her.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Tuantuan pursed her lips, her voice a little hoarse as she said, "But they all say that Tuantuan is a jinx and will bring bad luck to others."
"Nonsense!" Yang Chengze clenched his fists, trying his best to suppress his urge to kill.
He truly regretted not believing in that dream sooner. Now, could he ask Tuantuan about that dream?
