The moment she heard Dong Huang’s words, Zhang Dongmei glared at her son and scolded him, "Ah Qian, how could you say that? Apologize to your sister right now!"
Feeling the pain in his stomach due to over laughing, Li Jingqian squatted in front of Dong Huang. He coughed to clear his throat and tried to hold back his laugh.
After a moment, he looked at her, and said seriously, "Xiao Huang, I was just joking. Your hands aren’t smelly. I’m sorry, okay?"
Looking at him suspiciously, Dong Huang asked, "Really?"
"Yes, really!" Li Jingqian nodded firmly.
"Then can I touch your face?" she asked.
Hearing this, Li Jingqian glanced at her little hands. Noticing a greenish substance that smelled suspiciously like chicken poop, he hesitated.
Realizing he was lying, Dong Huang began crying again, "Waaa—Brother Jingqian lied! Xiao Huang’s hands are smelly!"
Annoyed by her son, Zhang Dongmei slapped the back of her son’s head and scolded him, "Let your sister touch your face!"
Before he could protest, Li Jingxu appeared, grabbed Dong Huang’s hand, and slapped it gently against Li Jingqian’s cheek.
"Ah Xu, don’t you dare—!" Li Jingqian’s protest was cut off as the pungent smell hit him.
"Next time you bully Xiao Huang, no food for you," Li Jingxu said coldly.
The moment he heard his brother’s words, Li Jingqian’s little heart shattered instantly. He looked at him aggrievedly and said, "No more next time. I promise."
He then fled to the bathroom to wash his face.
Watching him running away, Dong Huang turned around and hugged Li Jingxu with a big smile on her face, "Brother Jingxu is the best!"
Zhang Dongmei sighed when she saw this and said, "Ah Xu, only you can handle your brother."
Li Jingxu smiled and said, "Mother, go rest. I will call you when breakfast is ready." freewebnoveℓ.com
Nodding at her son, Zhang Dongmei said, "Mother made some porridge. It should be done by now."
"Okay."
After Zhang Dongmei went to rest, Li Jingxu held his little cousin’s hand and brought her to the backyard. He picked up the bamboo basket and said, "Next time, let your brother do this. Girls shouldn’t do dirty and heavy work."
"But Xiao Huang used to do this before. Xiao Huang is very strong and isn’t afraid of dirt," Dong Huang said proudly.
Li Jingxu nodded and said while washing his cousin’s little hands, "Xiao Huang is very strong and very good. But now you have many brothers. You can leave the heavy and dirty work to them. If Xiao Huang wants to help, you can help us harvest vegetables instead."
