Chapter 28
"Grandpa, Grandma, have some candy! Little Auntie Zhang has some for you!" As soon as Tie Dan returned home and saw Old Master Wang and Aunt Zhang in the courtyard, he rushed over to them.
He took out two pieces of candy from his little pocket, split them up and shared them, then turned to share with his own parents as well.
At last, he peeled one for himself, intending to eat it, but Wang Sister-In-Law grabbed his hand.
"Why are you always taking Auntie's candy? Didn't I tell you not to keep taking advantage of your aunt's family?" Seeing her gluttonous son, Wang Sister-In-Law lamented how he turned out.
Tie Dan blinked a few times: "Auntie put them in my pocket."
If she put them there, he couldn't give them back, right? Delicious is delicious!
Before Wang Sister-In-Law could say anything, Aunt Zhang and Wang Big Brother each tapped his little head.
"Greedy! Your little aunt's family doesn't make money easily. Uncle Gu going up the mountain to hunt is very dangerous.
Little Auntie bought the candy to appease the Older Baby and Second Baby. How can you, as the older brother, keep taking food from your younger brothers?"
This little brat always plays with the Older Baby and Second Baby, and Luo Ge has given him food more than once or twice. They really feel bad that he keeps taking advantage.
This smelly little kid is really greedy, he'll take whatever people give him and keeps taking from the Older Baby and Second Baby. He has no sense of being an older brother.
Hearing his own father's words, Tie Dan's little face reddened in rare embarrassment.
"Then should I go back?" Based on what his father said, it seems he was taking food from the Older Baby and Second Baby.
Aiya! How embarrassing, he's supposed to be the older brother.
Saying this, Tie Dan wanted to run over to the neighbor's house, but Aunt Zhang stopped him.
"Where are you going? Your aunt's family is eating now, if you go over won't you be taking their food again? Remember this for next time, don't keep taking advantage of others, okay?"

"If you want to eat, wait for your mother to go to town to buy some for you next time."
Hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Tie Dan's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head after thinking about something.
"I don't want to eat anymore, we should save money to buy medicine for Grandpa so he can recover soon. Then he can take me out to play."
Hearing this, the adults in the family were stunned, feeling a warmth in their hearts at Tie Dan's thoughtfulness, their eyes unable to hold back tears. Wang Big Brother couldn't help but tap his head again.
"Smelly little brat!"
When Old Master Wang heard his little grandson's words, he felt exceptionally warm inside, but at the same time remorseful that his poor health was burdening the whole family.
If it weren't for his useless body, their family wouldn't be living in such poor conditions...
Thinking about this, his expression grew more and more gloomy. Aunt Zhang seemed to sense what he was thinking and grasped his hand.
"Alright, let's not just stand around, let's eat." Wang Sister-In-Law and her husband also noticed Old Master's mood and quickly changed the subject.
As for Tie Dan, he looked puzzled, but upon hearing his mother's words, he immediately ran to help serve the food.
...On the other side, at the Gu family.
"Wang Sister-In-Law's cooking is really good." Luo Ge couldn't help but praise as she tasted Wang Sister-In-Law's cuisine.
This braised potato and meat dish is really hearty, perfect when eaten with noodles.
"Eat more." Seeing that she liked it, Gu Jinchen quietly added more meat to her bowl.
He noticed that his little wife tended to eat very little meat.
She needed to eat more, how could she grow taller if she didn't eat meat?
Luo Ge nodded, then turned her attention to caring for the two little ones.
In the end, most of the meat still ended up in the stomachs of the three males (boys).
Gu Jinchen could only sigh helplessly.
After the meal, Luo Ge gathered the dried fruit from outside, as the night mist would dampen it if left out, so she brought it inside to air-dry.
"Let me see." That evening, after Luo Ge had washed up and lay on the bed, as soon as she heard the sound of the door, her husband spoke.
"See what?" Hearing him, she didn't immediately understand.
Gu Jinchen closed the door and immediately moved to turn her over. "To see where you were hurt, what else?"
Thinking it over, he still needed to take a look to be at ease.
His little wife was very concerned about the phrase 'broad daylight', and would get terribly shy during the day, so at night when they were alone as husband and wife, it should be better.
Luo Ge realized his meaning and her eyes widened, but before she could react, a chill ran through her.
"...!"
"Do your bones hurt?"
Gu Jinchen was only concerned about her injury and had no improper thoughts. Seeing that there was no bruising or swelling, he was much more relieved, but he remembered cases in the village of auntie's injuring their bones from falls like this.
"No, not hurting."
Luo Ge was numb, her pretty face burning hot.
With his serious tone and this embarrassing posture, she wanted to drop dead on the spot.
After confirming that there were no issues, Gu Jinchen turned her over, and by the lamplight, he saw his little wife's flushed face and couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you being so shy? You and I have already..."
Before he could finish, Luo Ge covered his mouth with her hand.
"Stop talking, let's sleep." Her little wife's blushing, muffled stubborn tone only made his heart itch more.
"Pfft." He pulled her soft hand away and leaned down to kiss those pursed, rosy lips.
"Mmm, let's sleep." It wasn't until she was dazed from his kisses that his husky voice reached her ears.
But this "sleep" was not that "sleep."
"Why must you still bully me after a long day's work?" Before falling asleep, she asked the question in her heart with a trembling, tearful voice.
The man heard her words and showed a smile, leaning down to gently kiss her fair forehead.
"I'm not bullying you." There was no harm done yet.
Yes, to him, this was not bullying her.
They had just gotten married, it was normal for him to crave her so much that he couldn't control himself.
"Mmm, hmph." Hearing this, she wanted to say something else but was too sleepy, so she only let out a grumbling hum before nestling into his embrace and falling asleep.
Gu Jinchen lightly held his little wife until she was deep asleep, then gently got out of bed and put on his clothes, sneaking out under the cover of night.
His little wife was not someone just anyone could bully.
...The next day.
"Aah! Big Brother!"
Early that morning, a shrill cry of alarm rang out from the Qian family home.
"Aah——!" Before the first cry had faded, another wail followed.
Qian Momo ran out from the room, hair disheveled, her face deathly pale.
"Mother, Mother there are snakes, there are snakes! —Brother!" Waking up to find two dead snakes, it almost scared her heart out.
Panicking, she ran outside stuttering for help, but then saw her badly injured brother lying in the courtyard and was shocked again.
Hearing these shouts, Qian Big Brother groggily woke up and saw Qian Momo's hands trembling violently.
"Child, what happened to you? Are you alright? Mother, go call a doctor for her." Qian's Father and Qian's Mother doted on their daughter, but compared to her, their son's condition was naturally more important now.
"Marry her off! Marry her off immediately, right away!" Without heeding Qian's Mother's words, Qian Big Brother pointed at Qian Momo and shouted hoarsely.
He couldn't keep such a troublemaking sister around anymore!
