Dong Jinming was not stupid, he was just unfamiliar with the Xiong family and felt somewhat distant from them.
That’s why I didn’t dare to speak for so long.
Hearing Xiao Cunyu's words, the child lost his temper and pointed at her with red eyes: "You annoying bastard, you deliberately put the bugs in my clothes, just wait for me, I will definitely not let you go!"
"Shut up!" Xiong said quickly.
Dong Qiao panicked: "Aunt, my brother is ignorant..."
"I know he feels aggrieved about being injured this time, but after all, he was the one who took out the bug, so who can he blame? Qiao Xin, you should teach him more when you go back. This won't work." Xiong couldn't help but shake her head.
Xiao Cunyu was born like a flawless piece of white jade, which made him very likable.
Dong Jinming is chubby and not very good-looking, but he is related to her by blood, so of course she will protect him.
It's a pity that this child not only doesn't apologize after doing something wrong, but also can't stand provocation.
"I understand. I just hope my aunt will forgive him this time."
Dong Qiaoxin was extremely nervous.
I thought... my aunt would favor them more, but I didn't expect that she would be coaxed by Xiao Cunyu with just a few words.
If this continues, how will they live here in the future? Will they be outshined by Xiao Cunyu in every aspect?
Dong Qiaoxin also knew that no matter what she said, it was useless. She could only apologize to Xiao Cunyu repeatedly and then lead her brother away.
Dong Jinming's injuries hadn't healed yet: "Sister, won't Auntie make the decision for us?"
"You and I are motherless children, so it doesn't matter to your aunt whether you make the decision or not. You are not doing your best, so do you expect me to force your aunt to punish him?" Dong Qiaoxin couldn't help but shiver when the cool night breeze blew.
"Sister, didn't you say that we would live here forever? Now look what happens, we are almost kicked out!" Dong Jinming looked unhappy and muttered.
"What do you know!" Dong Qiaoxin was about to cry.
She thought her aunt agreed to take her in because she was satisfied with her and maybe she could become her eldest cousin's wife in the future!
Who would have known that when I arrived at the Xiao family, I would find out that my cousin had already been engaged, but the woman was in mourning and could not enter the house!
What was she then? Even if she married in, she could only be a concubine?
Dong Qiaoxin was a little confused for a moment.
"Sister, I heard from the servants that the fifth branch of the Xiao family is very rich. Xiao Cunyu's father is the youngest son of the Xiao family's direct lineage and is the most favored. Why don't we have such a good life?"
Although Xiao Cunyu's parents are dead, they left him so much wealth that he can hold his head high no matter where he goes.
Dong Qiaoxin clenched her fists a little tighter. "Yes, Seventh Cousin...you're so lucky."
There are so many backers.
No one in the Xiao family would be wronged, and no one would be wronged more than him, the only son of the fifth wife.
It's just that his personality is really annoying. He does things strangely and has too many quirks. If he had a little more of the prudent character of his elder cousin, she wouldn't dislike him so much.
After Dong Qiaoxin left, Xiao Cunyu stayed for a while.
After eating several dishes of snacks at her aunt's place and hearing some interesting folk stories, Xiong couldn't help laughing.
She was short of money and didn't have any extra talisman paper, so she couldn't finish drawing the talisman to give as a gift.
However, my aunt's condition is not serious. She was probably just hit by some residual souls. It's not a big problem.
The next morning, Xiao Cunyu handed in a thick stack of homework.
None of them were written by her.
They were all written by the maids around my aunt.
It's not that she's lazy, it's just that her aunt wants to hear stories, and she herself is very filial... How can these other trivial matters prevent her from serving her elders?
