Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Female Supporting Character Left Her a Mess Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Female Supporting Character Left Her a Mess It’s no wonder that when I saw Da Bao and Xiao Bao earlier, their eyes were still a bit red.
That aunt hadn’t expected Yun Xiaoxiao to suddenly pull a serious face and bring up the matter.
“I certainly didn’t know about it.”
Yun Xiaoxiao still said one thing, “If I find out who’s spreading rumors that I ran off, I’ll certainly tear her mouth apart.”
After Yun Xiaoxiao and her two sons left, that aunt whispered to the person next to her, “Since when has Educated Youth Yun become so formidable?”
“Have you forgotten Zhao Shitou? ‘Like family, like reason; one doesn’t visit a family if one is not part of it.’
As soon as these words were uttered, both glanced at each other, knowing full well Zhao Shitou was not someone to be trifled with.
“Mom, if we were to go back to the city, we would certainly tell you, and we wouldn’t just run away. You’re already big kids; you can’t just believe whatever anyone says. We need to judge for ourselves whether something is true, right?”
Yun Xiaoxiao gave an example, “Take today’s events, for instance. Did mom run away? No, mom didn’t run away; she just went to town to pick up a parcel.”
Da Bao hung his head, “Mom, we understand.”
For such a small matter, Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t blame the two youngsters.
It was partly the fault of the female supporting character that they were so easily startled.
Now that she had taken on the role of the female supporting character, she had to deal with the mess the character had left behind.
They finally arrived at the Zhao Family Mansion.
“Little Aunt….” Yun Xiaoxiao looked towards the person coming, a little girl about the same size as Da Bao, with sparse hair and also thin and tiny.
“Where’s your grandmother?”
“Inside the house…” The little girl’s eyes landed on the things Yun Xiaoxiao was carrying and pointed towards the inside of the house.
Yun Xiaoxiao walked into the courtyard, finally getting a clear view of the old mansion, half adobe, half brick and tile.
The kitchen and the storeroom were adobe, a hall, and three main rooms.
Mrs. Zhao hadn’t come out yet, but a little boy had. Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, he said, “Xiao Mao, this is Little Aunt…”
“Little Aunt…” The little boy was about Xiao Bao’s size, but a bit chubbier.
Mrs. Zhao heard the noise and came out of the kitchen.
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded and handed the mooncakes to Mrs. Zhao, “My parents mailed me these mooncakes. I brought some for you to try.”
Sent by the in-laws and the mother-in-law?
“Mom, I’m going to take Da Bao and Xiao Bao back now.”
Are there really mooncakes this big?
As big as a large pancake.
“Grandma, the mooncake…” Sanya saw the mooncake in Mrs. Zhao’s hands, her throat swallowing.
Mrs. Zhao glanced at her granddaughter, “We’ll wait for your parents to come back and then eat together.”
Sanya didn’t make a fuss, Xiao Mao didn’t either, Xiao Shu had gone out to play, and the schoolchildren hadn’t come back yet.
Da Bao couldn’t bring himself to look directly at Yun Xiaoxiao.
“Who told you that I had run away?”
Da Bao knew the answer to that one, “It was Second Uncle’s Wife.”
Was that Da Shu’s mother?
How could someone be so annoying?
This made Yun Xiaoxiao somewhat regret bringing mooncakes to the old house.
Some people don’t deserve mooncakes.
Thinking about asking for the mooncakes back.
Waiting for those who went to work to come back for dinner.
“Da Bao’s mother brought over a mooncake.”
As soon as this was mentioned, Da Shu’s mother began to mock, “She really is stingy, one mooncake, and it’s hardly enough to share.”
After saying this, Mrs. Zhao looked at her, “That’s why there’s none for you, I fear Da Bao’s mother would know you had been telling Da Bao and Xiao Bao that she had run away and would certainly come to reclaim the mooncake.”
Instantly, the atmosphere around the dining table grew tense.
“So what if I don’t eat it? How much can one person get from a mooncake? Yun Xiaoxiao really is the epitome of stinginess.”
