CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: DO YOU FEEL WRONGED?

Mrs. Xiao Li ultimately ran after Yuan Bao and left.

In her heart, the weight of her dear daughter was a bit heavier.

"Xue’er, I’m sorry, my cousin is still young and doesn’t understand things, don’t take it to heart!"

"When we get back, I’ll explain to Grandpa and Fourth Uncle!"

"They’re not unreasonable people."

After Mrs. Xiao Li chased after Yuan Bao and left, Yuan Shougui looked at Sheng Xueyi and spoke politely.

"Yuan, I didn’t take it to heart!"

"Even if your grandfather and fourth uncle are unreasonable, they can’t control me."

"But you, are you okay?"

Sheng Xueyi looked worried for Yuan Shougui, "Your family only has your cousin as a girl, they’re surely spoiling her. As the older brother, you should let her have her way!"

"Uh..."

Yuan Shougui suddenly didn’t know what to say.

"Yuan, just like you said, your cousin is still young, just teach her more!"

"If because of this matter, you feel aggrieved, don’t overthink it."

"The elders in the family all love children."

Sheng Xueyi continued to speak, but Yuan Shougui somewhat didn’t want to listen anymore.

"Xue’er, you’re right!"

"I won’t hold a grudge against my little cousin, after all, I’m an adult!"

Having just turned thirteen after the new year, Yuan Shougui naturally considered himself an adult.

"Yuan, it’s best that you think this way!"

"I knew you would be a very good big brother."

Sheng Xueyi spoke again.

"..."

This time, Yuan Shougui stopped talking altogether.

At this moment, Yuan Pandi appeared not far away, calling Yuan Shougui home.

Seeing his father appearing, with a seemingly unusual expression, Yuan Shougui got a bit nervous.

Bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat was a dish he hadn’t tasted in a long time, and to be honest, he really didn’t want to taste it, because it wasn’t good at all.

"Yuan, your father is calling you, I’ll come play again tomorrow!"

"Oh!"

Yuan Shougui watched Sheng Xueyi call the little girl Chuntao to leave, and he himself walked reluctantly towards his father.

After taking a few steps and thinking about Sheng Xueyi’s understanding nature, Yuan Shougui took a deep breath and decided that as an adult, he wouldn’t hold grudges against a child. So what if he was falsely accused by his little cousin? He’d endure it!

However, when Yuan Pandi called Yuan Shougui home, he didn’t hit him.

Old Yuan didn’t hit him either.

It wasn’t until lunch that the family cooked fish, everyone got a big piece of braised fish, but when it came to Yuan Shougui, there was none!

Mrs. Zeng, who was in charge of cooking, saw this scene, smiled, and said, "Oh, my eldest grandson, grandma forgot, Jiaojiao will be eating with us from now on, there wasn’t enough fish, as the big brother, you’ll have to be aggrieved a bit!"

"Grandma, I’m fine!"

Yuan Shougui said he was fine, but his heart felt heavy.

He remembered that when fish was divided before, his little cousin always had a separate portion, but today, she was eating with them.

With one more person, there should naturally be an extra portion of fish, but obviously, there wasn’t.

And that wasn’t the end!

At dinner, when the family ate noodles, there was still a shortage.

Once again, Yuan Shougui became the miserable one. Even though he was a growing boy and very hungry, he only got less than a half bowl of noodles.

"Feeling aggrieved?"

This time it was Old Yuan who spoke.

"No, not aggrieved!"

Yuan Shougui’s eyes were red, almost crying, how could he not feel aggrieved?

"We’re all family, you’re already feeling aggrieved to the point of tears!"

"That official’s daughter from the neighboring village treated your little cousin this way twice, do you think your little cousin didn’t feel aggrieved? She’s even younger than you are!"
