As she was reading the advertisement with great expression, she saw Xiaoshan take the chocolate and stuff it directly into his mouth.
Xiao Youran quickly called out, "Hey, hey, this has a candy wrapper. You have to peel off the outer wrapper."
Xiaoshan quickly spat out the candy, then hurriedly peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth.
The other children hesitated as they looked at the dark, unpeeled candy, and all turned to look at Xiaoshan.
Xiaoshan frowned at first, then his eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, "Delicious! So delicious!"
Hmm, although it was a bit bitter at first, it turned out to be fragrant, smooth and sweet afterwards, truly a "silky smooth indulgence"!
It's true, he also had a feeling that after eating the candy Xiao Fu Bao gave him, he never wanted to eat the white sugar at home again.
Other children chewed the candy in their mouths and swallowed it quickly, then stuffed the chocolate into their mouths; others secretly hid the chocolate in their pockets and then slowly sucked on the pine nut candy in their mouths.
Xiao Liu and the others stared longingly at Xiao Youran.
Xiao Youran then walked over to them and gave one to each of them. "This is called chocolate. I also bought a lot of pine nut candies. If you want some, come and ask me for them."
Then his tone changed, and he said earnestly, "Stealing is wrong. If any of you really stole Cui'er's sugar, just come out and admit your mistake, and I will reward you with two chocolates."
The four, five, and six children shook their heads frantically.
Little Six, with a sweet, childish voice, said, "No, we would never steal!"
Xiao Wu has the demeanor of the Yu family. "My mother always taught us that a gentleman should be upright and honest, how could we do such petty things?!"
Xiao Si proudly declared, "Cockfighting and dog walking are what we Beijing kids pursue. How could we lower ourselves to steal chickens and dogs?"
Yun Tiankuang: ...
Has this child been raised a little too spoiled?
Xiao Youran nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Cui'er, "Did you see? Our child would never steal your family's sugar. You need to investigate this thoroughly."
Cui'er felt a little ashamed, but still stubbornly said, "Yun Xiaoliu, if it wasn't you, what were you doing lurking around my doorstep?!"
Yun Tianjiao was taken aback, then stammered, "I just... I just wanted to take a look out of curiosity."
After saying that, he lowered his head.
Xiao Youran was about to ask him what he was curious about when a weak voice suddenly came from the side, "I stole the sugar from Cui'er's house. I apologize. Could you give me two chocolate chips?"
From behind a large tree emerged a boy of about seven or eight years old. His face was sallow and his body was thin, but strangely, his belly was bulging.
He coughed twice as he spoke.
Cui'er was startled. "Cousin, who let you out?! Go back right now! Are you trying to scare us to death?"
The other children all stepped back.
Yun Tiankuang was clearly startled as well. He protected his younger sister and retreated towards the door, also pulling Xiao Youran back a few steps.
This emaciated patient, with an eerily large belly, is truly terrifying!
Xiao Youran carefully examined the sickly-looking boy and noticed that his clothes were very expensive. She smiled and asked him, "Young man, are you sure you stole the sugar from Cui'er's house?"
The boy nodded. "Yes, I was sick and felt terrible, so I wanted something sweet. I took the sugar from my aunt's house. But I didn't steal it. This sugar must have been left here by my mother, right?"
"What evidence do you have?" Xiao Youran asked in a clear voice.
The boy looked at Cui'er. "Cousin Cui'er, your sugar is in the top shelf of the right-hand cabinet in the kitchen, the second white jar on the left. Am I right?"
Cui'er's eyes widened immediately. "Cousin, it really is you?!"
Yun Tiankuang stared blankly at his little cousin, who had so easily and skillfully resolved this crisis of being unable to prove her innocence with a bag of candy and a bag of chocolate of unknown origin.
The boy lowered his eyes. "It's me. Anyway, I don't have much time left to live, so apologizing to you is no big deal. I'm sorry, cousin."
He then looked at the chocolate in Xiao Youran's hand, a hint of longing in his eyes.
Xiao Youran decisively stuffed all the chocolates in her hand into his hands, at least a dozen of them.
Xiao Si Yun Tianyi was furious and rushed over, "Cousin, how can you give all your things to other people?"
Xiao Youran looked at him in astonishment, "You said it yourself, it's my stuff, who I give it to is none of your business."
Yun Tianyi huffed, "You're our family's cousin, so your things are our family's things too!"
Yun Tiankuang immediately sensed something was wrong. Had he really gone astray?!
He stepped forward and pulled Yun Tianyi back, saying, "Xiao Si, don't talk nonsense!"
Yun Tianyi kicked his feet and shouted, "Aren't all the things my little cousin has earned for our family these days ours? So the chocolate in her hand is ours too. If she's going to give it away, it should be to us to eat!"
Yun Tiankuang slapped Yun Tianyi hard across the face, "Shut up!"
However, Yun Tiankuang was only a ten-year-old boy, and his strength was neither too light nor too heavy. After delivering the slap, he was stunned.
Yun Tianyi wiped his slightly sore face, stepped forward and shoved Yun Tiankuang hard, pointing at him and saying, "Third Brother, don't think that just because you're two years older than me you can bully me!"
Yun Tiankuang was stunned.
Xiao Youran laughed, "You've even learned to use the phrase 'acting like a tyrant'? Who taught you that? Your third aunt?"
Yun Tianyi scoffed, "So what if it was my mother who said it? She said that although my third brother is the head of the family, it will still be the four of us men who will support the family in the future. My third brother is only two years older than me, don't even think about getting ahead of me. When I grow up, I'll definitely be more powerful than you!"
Xiao Wu Yun Tianzhi came over and tugged at Yun Tianyi, "Fourth Brother, that's not what my mother said. Third Brother is a few years older than us and has to support this family, which is very hard. We should all help Third Brother when we grow up."
Yun Tiankuang's nose suddenly felt a little sore.
These days, the burden of the entire Yun family has been weighing on the shoulders of this ten-year-old boy, and it's becoming almost unbearable.
Whenever the villagers referred to his family as Tiankuang's family, he felt suffocated.
In the eyes of his clansmen and villagers, he is now the head of their family!
Yun Tianyi angrily shook off Xiao Wu's hand, pointed at Yun Tiankuang and said, "You're older than us, so you should take care of our younger siblings. Why should we help you? Also, since you're the head of the family, you should have your little cousin bring us all her candy and chocolate!"
Yun Tiankuang was stunned. This fourth brother... actually thought that way?
He scolded, "Shut up! Have you forgotten all the manners and values you learned before? My little cousin has already done our family an immense favor, and you still want to take what belongs to her?"
"What do you mean by 'a debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain'? My mother said that my cousin is definitely hiding something, trying to do us a favor so that we can benefit from it in the future..." Before he could finish speaking, Yun Tiankuang stepped forward and punched him in the face.
Yun Tianyi was furious and pounced on him to fight.
The other children: ...
