Chapter 70 Everyone Dislikes
"It's enough for you two to come back, why are you bringing anything?"
Zhou Helian looked at the large and small bags that Uncle Liu and his people brought, and held Fu Yining's hand while complaining.
Fu Yining immediately responded: "Mom, this was an accident. I will definitely not bring it home next time."
"That's right!" Zhou Helian smiled happily, "Just come back more often. We have all these things at home."
"Um!"
Fu Yining sat with Zhou and Lian. Father Fu, his son and son-in-law sat on the other side of them to discuss something. Minghua was not there.
Because Minghua originally asked the maid to go upstairs to call Yuanyuan and Manman, but the two children refused to come downstairs no matter what, the maid was in a difficult position, so she had to go upstairs herself to "invite" them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Yuanyuan? Manman? It's mommy, come out quickly, aunt and uncle are here, everyone is waiting for you downstairs!"
"No! No!"
The boy locked the door and ran into the room with his sister, "Sister, run! Let's hide!"
"Okay, brother!"
Minghua knocked on the door several times, but seeing that no one answered her, she pressed the door handle and wanted to go in directly.
“Crack—Crack—”
When Minghua heard the sound, he realized that the door was locked from the inside by the two children.
"Yuanyuan, Manman, come out quickly!"
She shouted into the room, then calmed down and threatened, "If you two don't come out, Mom will ask Dad and Grandpa and Grandma not to buy snacks for you!"
When the two children hiding in the closet heard this, they hesitated.
Minghua keeps his word and will really not let the two of them eat snacks!
"Brother, should we open the door for Mom?" the younger sister asked in a low voice.
Brother Yuanyuan tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No!"
"But I want to eat snacks!"
"But when we open the door for Mom, we will see Auntie. Do you want to see Auntie?"
I was stumped by my brother's question.
She really likes to eat snacks, but she doesn't want to see this aunt.
The reason is simple. Based on the siblings' experience in just eight years, they knew that nothing good would happen when their aunt Fu Yining came home!
Either she would cry and talk to her grandparents about things that the siblings couldn't understand at their age; or she would snatch food from the two children at the dinner table and compete with them for the elders' love.
Anyway, whenever she came, everyone in the family would groan, including Grandpa Liu (the housekeeper) and Grandma Qiu (the live-in aunt).
Although the brother and sister were young, they were very smart. They understood from the reactions of their family members that no one liked this aunt. In addition, her behavior was indeed crazy, so it was strange that they would want to see her.
Minghua was getting impatient waiting outside the door, so he coughed and gave an ultimatum, "You two, hurry up and come out. I'll count to three, three..."
The door opened with a click, and two children's breathing heavily appeared in front of Minghua.
"Mom, we're coming!"
Minghua saw them hugging her arms one by one, their voices were sweet and soft, but she remained unmoved.
"What's wrong with you two? Why did you lock the door?"
"Mom, Mom, I want French fries!"
"Mom, I want to eat too!"
"You are so beautiful!"
Minghua saw that the two children changed the topic very quickly and could probably guess the reason.
She squatted down and looked at them at eye level. "You two have the door closed. Don't you want to go downstairs to see your aunt?"
The brother and sister nodded vigorously and said in unison: "Yeah! We don't like Auntie!"
"Why?"
Yuanyuan argued: "Because other people don't like Auntie coming to our house either!"
"Which other person?"
"Mom, don't you dislike Auntie too? And Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma, my brother and I know it!"
"Mom, don't think you can fool us just because we are young!"
Yuanyuan and Manman's identical big eyes twinkled, and their questions successfully stumped Minghua.
Minghua touched the two children's faces and gently scolded them, "Don't talk nonsense, that was in the past!"
The little girl pouted unhappily.
"If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Why would mom lie to me?"
“That’s right!”
Minghua looked a little embarrassed.
In order to prevent the two children from saying these words in front of others, she had to explain to them quietly, "Mom, Dad, and Grandpa and Grandma don't dislike Aunt. If we didn't like her, we wouldn't have let her come to our house."
And the reality is, when my sister-in-law comes home, everyone is annoyed by her; when she doesn't come, everyone talks about her.
I have mixed feelings about her.
"Yuanyuan, Manman, do you remember that there was an aunt who took care of you and stole things from our house, so mom and dad never let her come to our house again, right? That's what we call disliking someone!"
The two children nodded.
Of course they still remember this bad aunt who stole their snacks to give to her grandchildren and who had a lot of candies hidden in her pocket when she was found.
Those candies were specially brought back for the brother and sister by their aunt from abroad, and they didn’t even eat much of them!
Seeing this, Minghua smiled with satisfaction.
"Did your parents and grandparents say that you cannot let your aunt come? No, right? And every time your aunt comes, she will buy you two toys and snacks. You are not allowed to say that in the future, understand?"
"Okay, Mom!" the brother and sister answered in unison.
They were convinced by Minghua and decided to listen to her. This way, not only would they not have their snacks deducted, but they would also get snacks and toys from their aunt (although the snacks and toys from their aunt were not tasty and fun either).
"You two are both good kids! Let mommy reward you with a kiss, mua~"
"Let's go, kids!"
Minghua kissed the brother and sister on each of their faces, then took them downstairs, one by one in each hand.
In the living room, Fu Yining just accidentally glanced at the neatly peeled and cut fruits on the coffee table, and Zhou Helian fed him several pieces of them in a row.
She didn't know how to refuse the other party's kindness, so she had to eat it all.
Seeing this, Zhou Helian thought she was too hungry and felt so distressed that she quickly asked someone to notify the kitchen staff to prepare dinner and serve it up as soon as possible.
"Mom knew you were coming back, so she asked them to make you your favorite coriander cake. Would you like to eat more later?"
When Fu Yining heard the word "coriander", his expression twisted for a moment, but he could only smile bitterly and said "OK".
Cilantro pancakes? If she eats them later, will she be alive tomorrow?
At this moment, Fu Yining felt two lines of invisible tears flowing down his cheeks.
"Ningning, is there anything else you want to eat? I'll ask them to make it for you!" Zhou Helian hadn't seen her daughter for a long time and wanted to give her the best things.
"No trouble, Mom!"
"Hey, you finally came back, why are you in trouble? Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
"Well, let me think about it?"
"Take your time and think about it, don't rush!"
Fu Yining was afraid that Zhou Helian would make her fried pork with coriander or fried eggs with coriander. She didn't like those things at all!
If you force her to tell you what she wants to eat...
This should be it!
