"No!"
Xie Xia didn't believe him at all. She turned around and walked to Ling Chunhua, and asked in a friendly manner: "Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll take care of it for you, okay?"
Ling Chunhua subconsciously looked in the direction of Xie Jinghuai.
The other party had completely lost the arrogance and willfulness he had when he bullied her. His snow-white face was tense and his dark pupils were filled with regret and fear.
Unexpectedly, my mind suddenly recalled the last time the bad guy was punished by his sister by grabbing his ears.
Ling Chunhua shook her head gently, "No one bullied me, I just accidentally got my pants dirty."
Seeing the mud stains on Ling Chunhua's pants, Xie Xia immediately called the nanny and took her upstairs to clean them up.
After the nanny took Ling Chunhua away, Xie Xia turned around and walked to her younger brother, looking down at him with a serious expression.
"Xie Jinghuai, bullying a girl younger than you, you feel very accomplished, right?"
Xie Jinghuai's face turned red and white, and his defense was obviously weak, "I didn't bully her, I was just joking with her."
"Come with me."
"What are you going to do?"
Xie Xia didn't answer, so Xie Jinghuai had to follow obediently.
When they reached the second floor, the nanny just came out of the guest room with Ling Chunhua's changed pants in her hand, and was about to go to the laundry room on the first floor.
Xie Xia stopped the nanny and asked about Ling Chunhua's situation.
The nanny replied hurriedly: "There is no clothing for little girls at home, so I had to find an old pair of pants that the young master didn't wear before and give her some to change into."
"Who told you to give her my pants?"
Xie Xia glared back at him, and Xie Jinghuai dared not say a word, but his face was still puffed up with dissatisfaction.
Xie Xia took the pants that Ling Chunhua had changed from the nanny and tried to stuff them directly into Xie Jinghuai's hands, but Xie Jinghuai pushed her away as if he had been electrocuted.
"What are you doing for me?"
"Wash it clean."
"You're crazy! You're dreaming! I'm not going to wash it!"
Xie Xia narrowed her eyes, "Do you want to wash it or not? Hmm?"
Xie Jinghuai's face turned red with anger, but he finally took the pants with a look of humiliation on his face and ran downstairs angrily.
The nanny chased after him anxiously.
"Master, let me do it. It's so cold, don't let your hands get frozen. Just watch from the side, and think of it as if you washed it yourself."
"Go away, I don't need anyone's help!"
In the laundry room, the nanny tried several times to take over the work from Xie Jinghuai, but was rudely blocked by Xie Jinghuai each time.
While rubbing his trouser legs vigorously, Xie Jinghuai's tears fell into the laundry basin.
The rich young master, who had been blessed with everything from clothes to food since childhood and had never even washed his own socks, now had to help a poor girl wash her pants. One can imagine the grievance and shame in his heart.
Upstairs, Yun Mo, who learned the whole story, lamented that the two little guys were enemies, and made up her mind to bring Ling Chunhua to the Xie family as little as possible in the future.
Clothes dry slowly in winter, so Ling Chunhua left Xie's house wearing Xie Jinghuai's pants.
It was a pair of brown corduroy trousers. According to Xie Xia, they were Xie Jinghuai's old trousers when he was five years old. But they still looked big and long on Ling Chunhua, who was only six and a half years old.
After returning home, Yun Mo found a pair of clean pants for Ling Chunhua to change into, and asked about what happened at the Xie family.
"Did Master Xie bully you in any other way?"
Ling Chunhua shook her head and told Yun Mo everything Xie Jinghuai had said and done.
After hearing this, Yun Mo felt angry and amused.
After all, the Xie family is a family that values rules and education. Although Xie Jinghuai has the temper of a rich young master, his nature is not bad, and what he did is not out of line.
"If he bullies you again, you should call him Uncle Jing Huai."
Ling Chunhua widened her eyes, obviously not understanding why Xie Jinghuai should be called uncle.
Ling Chunhua nodded, not quite understanding.
Although she didn't want to call the bad guy uncle at all, she would listen to her aunt.
As soon as Yun Mo took Ling Chunhua out of the house, Ling Jiang immediately came up to them with an apologetic look on his face.
"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. Chuanzi went out to buy groceries this afternoon and asked me to watch the stove. As a result, I accidentally dozed off and didn't watch the fire, so I burned two big holes in the cotton quilt.
Look, it's already so late, it's too late to go out and buy a new one, how about letting Chuanzi squeeze in with you in the evening?"
Yun Mo: “…”
Ling Chunhua blinked her eyes and said crisply: "Dad, don't we have um..."
Ling Jiang quickly covered his daughter's mouth and said, "No more, Chunhua, come on, follow me to the kitchen to cook dinner."
After that, he smiled at Yun Mo ingratiatingly, "Sister-in-law, you must be tired after going out all day. Go back to your room and have a good rest. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
After saying that, he pulled Ling Chunhua to the kitchen without waiting for Yun Mo's response.
Yun Mo looked at the sky in silence for a while, then took the bacon and gifts and went next door to wish Uncle Luo a happy new year.
After paying New Year's greetings, Yun Mo made two more phone calls. When she returned to the courtyard, Ling Chuan had already gone home.
"daughter in law."
"Where have you been?"
"I went to Uncle Deng and Captain Wan's house to pay New Year's greetings."
"Um."
Yun Mo walked towards her room, and Ling Chuan followed her silently, like a child who had done something wrong.
"My eldest brother just told me that he accidentally burned two holes in the quilt this afternoon. Don't be angry. I will mend the quilt cover. I will take the quilt out to a cotton craftsman to have it re-stitched tomorrow..."
Yun Mo looked around the room, then pointed at the bookshelf and desk, "Move these two things to your room tomorrow, and use the empty space for your wardrobe."
Seeing the man looking at her stupidly, Yun Mo said unhappily, "Don't you want to move?"
Ling Chuan quickly shook his head and spoke incoherently, "I, you, I want to!"
Yun Mo curled her lips in satisfaction, "If you live in my room, you have to follow my rules. You must take a shower before going to bed, dirty clothes and smelly socks are not allowed to be piled up in the room, and shoes must be placed in the shoe cabinet at the door..."
Yun Mo finished explaining the rules and prepared to go out for dinner. However, when she opened the door, Ling Jiang, who was eavesdropping at the door, almost fell into the room.
"Brother, what are you doing..."
Ling Jiang quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, I came to call you and Chuanzi to have dinner. I heard you two were talking in the room, so I didn't want to disturb you."
"Then let's go eat. I'm hungry too."
Seeing that Yun Mo was not angry, Ling Jiang was immediately delighted. "I cooked the bacon you brought back from An City. It smells really good. I've cut it up and steamed it in the rice cooker. I'll go get it now."
"Thank you, bro."
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard.”
After Ling Jiang left happily, Yun Mo turned her head and saw Ling Chuan smiling at her foolishly. She couldn't help but walked over and kicked him in the leg.
Ling Chuan was not angry, but laughed even more happily.
"Wife, beating is love and scolding is care."
Yun Mo blushed, "Who told you that?"
“It’s in the book.”
Yun Mo glared at him, "Read less nonsense books in the future."
"I read all the books you bought for me."
“…”
