The moment the door opened, everyone except Erwa was shocked.
There was a small local dog standing outside the door. Even when it stood up, it was not as tall as Erwa's legs.
When the little dog saw the door open, he stopped scratching the door and rushed into the yard.
It squirmed around and finally stopped at Erwa's feet, biting the bottom of his trouser legs.
After biting, it rubbed Erwa's shoes.
Erwa didn't have a stick in his hand, and his hands were held by Sinier and Sanwa.
"Second brother, you actually want to hit such a cute puppy?" Sanwa said indignantly.
"Second brother, you are a bad guy." Si Ni'er said sadly.
"Erwa, are you afraid of this dog?" Xia Manni asked in confusion.
"Mom, who said I'm afraid of dogs? I'm just annoyed by it. It keeps following me. I'm annoyed by it, annoyed by it." As if afraid that everyone would not believe him, Erwa emphasized it several times.
However, Xia Manni also believed that Erwa was not afraid of it, but was probably annoyed by it and couldn't get rid of it.
It turns out that Erwa is afraid of being clingy, haha.
Xia Manni was smiling in her heart, but as a mother of several children, she couldn't help but give them face.
"Okay, I get it, Erwa. I'll help you get this little dog out right now."
After she said that, she picked up a kitchen knife and started to scare the little dog.
The little dog was frightened and started barking, and it kept running around Erwa.
"Mom, mom, stop chasing it." Sanwa shouted to stop Xia Manni and tried to pick up the running little dog.
But the little dog didn't give him a chance because it kept circling around Erwa.
"No, your second brother's pants are torn because of being chased by it. I have to help him drive it away." Xia Manni said as she pretended to use a kitchen knife to scare the local dog.
"Mom, stop chasing him." It was the persuasive voices of Da Wa and Sinier again.
"Then find a way to get it out." Xia Manni was tired of acting and sat on a small chair. In fact, she mainly wanted to see if Erwa was lying and if he was really not afraid of dogs.
As a result, the second child didn't move from beginning to end.
"Mom, can you not let it go?" Sanwa put his face on Xia Manni's arm and looked at her cutely.
"Sanwa, it's not that Mom doesn't want it to stay. Ask your second brother if he's willing? And then ask your eldest brother if he's willing?"
Her intuition told her that her eldest son would definitely not agree, because it was difficult for this family to raise a child, let alone a dog.
The third brother ran to the eldest brother happily. He decided to ask his eldest brother first. As long as his eldest brother agreed, everything would be easy for the second brother.
"Brother, can you let this little dog stay?"
"No, don't even think about it." Big Brother refused bluntly.
"Why?" Sanwa and Sinier asked together.
Twins are indeed twins, even though they have different personalities, there is still some so-called telepathy between them.
"If you want to raise it, that's fine. Just don't eat and give your food to it. Local dogs are big eaters." The eldest brother said seriously. His younger brothers and sisters were ignorant, but he knew everything.
"Second brother, what do you think?" Sanwa still didn't give up and went to ask Erwa.
"Don't ask me, I don't want this sticky thing." Erwa said and turned away without looking at the local dog.
It seems that if you look at the local dog for one more moment, you will easily get stuck to it.
Sanwa looked at Xia Manni aggrievedly, meaning that although no one agreed, he still wanted to keep the local dog.
"Sanwa, let me tell you something. There's an old saying: 'A son never despises his mother's ugliness, and a dog never despises his family's poverty.' Do you know what it means?"
The third child shook his head, not quite understanding what was going on. At this time, the other three children also looked at Xia Manni.
Even the little dog stopped making a fuss and sat on the ground next to Erwa, quietly watching Xia Manni talking.
"It means that a child shouldn't despise his mother's ugliness, and if the family is poor, neither should a dog despise it. It means you shouldn't despise the person who gave birth to you and raised you. Similarly, as your eldest brother said, our family is already very poor, and if we still use our own food to feed it, that would be a bit inappropriate."
"However, we can do this." Xia Manni said quickly when she saw Sanwa's pouting mouth.
"How to do it?" asked Si Ni'er.
"Let's just let this dog stay at our doorstep. We won't feed it or take care of it. If it really wants to stay here, it means it doesn't mind our poverty and will definitely share the hardships with us in the future. Let's keep it."
She looked at the four children and asked them again, "Do you think this is okay? Just consider it a test for this dog."
She could see that none of the children disliked the little dog, including herself.
Da Wa and she were simply worried that they couldn't keep the local dog alive. Instead of letting it suffer in their home, it would be better to let it choose a new owner on its own.
Sanwa and Sinier simply like small animals by nature. She thinks that no human can resist such cute little animals.
Of course there are psychopaths, but they are a minority after all.
What's more, the children in their family are all mentally normal.
As for Erwa, she didn't think he was annoying. He just didn't like being followed around or being restricted in his activities.
But no matter whether he was chasing the dog away just now or was asked to stay now, Erwa just glared at him and didn't say much.
So Xia Manni's proposal was passed unanimously in the Xia family.
"Okay, Big Boy, go carry the dog to the door and tell it not to come in. If it wants to come in later, it can do so. Anyway, we have to go up the mountain soon."
