Chapter 295 You're a little rascal, I don't like you
"Me too, me too!"
"But my mother said that it's always good to have some money on hand when you're out and about, so she secretly gave me five coins, saying that it would be useful in case something happens, hehe!"
"Mother, Mother, please go wash up and eat first! We'll wait for you here."
The little ones, their faces full of eager anticipation, urged him on with great enthusiasm.
After thinking it over, Lin Chang'er decided that a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one.
With a slight smile, she said, "Last night, Mother/Aunt and Uncle Shao'an sneaked into the Sun residence and happened to run into Lord Wu. They picked him up along with several other uncles, including Uncle Li Mian, so..."
She looked at the children with a kind smile, so you know what that means.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the children fell silent throughout the entire courtyard.
They looked at each other, as if they hadn't quite grasped what it meant to have picked it up.
After a long while, the little goldfish weakly said, "What Mother means is that Mother and Uncle Shaoan rescued the person last night?"
Lin Chang'er paused, but still answered him honestly, "It wasn't a rescue, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment. I also picked up an uncle named Duoyu on the way."
The little goldfish stared blankly for a long time, unable to accept this terrible news.
He went to bed early last night and woke up before dawn this morning. He and his uncle Yanqing took Xiaoman for a run around the village and practiced a set of stick techniques. He finally waited for his mother to get up, but she told him...
While he was happily dreaming, it was already over...
The other children also had disappointed expressions on their faces, as if they had all suffered a great blow.
Gu Xiaoman, in particular, had red eyes, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
Lin Chang'er felt a little sorry for him and rubbed his head. "Auntie didn't mean it. You don't know, Uncle Li Mian had a high fever yesterday afternoon. If we hadn't rescued him last night, he might have become mentally impaired!"
Li Qingyang and Li Chuan were sitting on the threshold of the courtyard gate when they heard this, and they quickly came over hand in hand.
Li Qingyang said, "That's right, that's right. My mother didn't come back to the workshop all night yesterday. She stayed at the doctor's house to take care of my father. My father only woke up this morning after his fever subsided."
Upon hearing this, the children all looked at Li Qingyang.
"really?"
"Is Uncle Li alright now?"
"Did Uncle Li take a lot of medicine? Was it bitter?"
Li Qingyang answered every question patiently, and even with tears in her eyes, she told her friends about her father's injuries.
The children were filled with righteous indignation, and even more regretful that they couldn't go with their third aunt to avenge Uncle Li Mian.
Lin Chang'er was helpless, but she was quick-witted and soon came up with a way to coax him.
"I see everyone's up, so how about this, Mom/Auntie will take you to the academy in the county town today?"
Upon hearing this, the little ones jumped for joy.
Really? Really?
"Can Auntie really take us there?"
"Auntie, Auntie, can I take my little brother with me? Xiaoman wants to take him with her."
For a time, it looked as if the yard was filled with a dozen or so larks.
Lin Chang'er pressed her hand down, "Auntie never lies, but little brother Yudian is still too young. We'll take him when he's a bit older."
Gu Xiaoman said "Oh," and although she was disappointed, her aunt said that if she was tired, she could go again in the future.
At this moment, Li Chuan squeezed through the crowd to Lin Chang'er's side, tugged at her sleeve, and timidly asked, "Auntie, can I go too?"
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you have to ask the doctor first. The premise is that it can't affect your condition."
It's always good for a little kid to go out and see the world. He's just a little kid and can't really help his mother much here, so it's better for him to go out and broaden his horizons.
"Okay!" Li Chuan grinned, turned around and jogged out.
After Lin Chang'er had calmed the little ones down, she went to wash up when she suddenly heard a cute, childlike voice coming from the courtyard gate.
"Uncle, Uncle, hurry up! Xiao Bao is definitely going to miss it! Third Aunt, Third Aunt, wait for Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao will be here soon!"
Lin Chang'er followed the sound and saw Zhou Yi. His fair face was flushed red, and he was walking ahead like a little bull, pulling Zhou Li's hand with his small hands, panting and urging him on.
Lin Chang'er burst out laughing, and the other little ones joined in the laughter.
As soon as Zhou Yi dragged his uncle Zhou Li into the door, this is what he saw.
The little guy scratched his head in confusion, looked at his uncle, then at his third aunt standing in the crowd, then grinned and let go of his uncle's hand, "Third Aunt, Xiao Bao is here!"
Lin Chang'er talked to Zhou Li for a while about taking them to the county town, "Xiao Bao is young, you may need to take extra care of him on the way."
Zhou Li patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Xiao Bao is my own nephew. Even if you don't say anything, I will definitely keep a close eye on him."
Lin Chang'er then divided the children into groups, with the youngest children each having several older children to look after them, while those of similar age looked after each other.
Only then did he go to wash up and eat.
She was eating tofu pudding and a pancake in the kitchen when she suddenly heard a commotion in the yard.
“Your dad is a bad guy, you’re a little bad guy, I don’t like you, you’re not allowed to follow my aunt, and you’re not allowed to come to our house to play anymore.”
"Xiaoman is right. The son of a bad guy is a little bad guy. We don't play with little bad guys."
"That's not how it is. Xiao Chuan is a good person, Xiao Man. Brother Xiao Chuan is really not a bad person. Please don't do this, okay?"
"Brother Qingyang, you can only choose one: me or him!"
Lin Chang'er went out upon hearing the noise and saw Gu Xiaoman standing with her hands on her hips, throwing a tantrum.
Several children who often played at the Gu family's house followed behind him.
Li Chuan sat on the ground, with only Li Qingyang in front of him.
Little Goldfish and a few older children were probably preparing snacks and water for the journey, so they weren't there. Gu Xiaolu and Zhou Yi were playing in the sand in the sand field.
The two seemed to only just notice what was happening, their small faces filled with confusion.
Lin Chang'er frowned; normal squabbles between children are inevitable.
But Li Chuan's situation is also her fault.
I was busy yesterday, and when I got back I didn't have a chance to tell these kids about Li Chuan.
Li Chuan must have been pushed down; he braced himself with his hands on the ground, his head hanging low, and he didn't offer any explanation.
Lin Chang'er felt terrible seeing this, so she strode over and helped Li Chuan up, gently patting the dirt off him. "Did you hurt yourself?"
Li Chuan shook his head, "It doesn't hurt!"
The little boy kept his head down, his voice slightly choked.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoman spoke up: "Auntie, he is the son of a bad guy, why should Auntie help the son of a bad guy?"
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips, "Xiaoman, a bad guy is a bad guy, and his son is his son. Brother Li Chuan didn't bully Xiaoman, right?"
Gu Xiaoman pouted, her cheeks puffed out, "But, the bad guy is his dad! His dad bullies Mommy, bullies Yudian, bullies Xiaoman... Xiaoman doesn't like it..."
