CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 566: THE FIVE HEROES OF YUN MANSION

Hearing from Zhong Yuying again, it was already May of 1989. Tian Xinhua called Sisi from city F to tell her that last month Zhong Yuying had given birth to a healthy baby girl at the Suicheng City People’s Hospital. The infant was immediately taken away by her father, while Zhong Yuying died of postpartum hemorrhage. It was Zhong Zhiying and Zhong Hongying who went to the Police Station to collect her ashes and buried her in the public cemetery.

Sisi couldn’t help but sigh in relief, that annoying Zhong Yuying was finally gone!

Sisi’s new job was still as a high school art teacher. This time, she was at the same school as Shangguan, Kyoto First Middle School. Shangguan taught the 11th grade, Sisi taught the 10th grade; both the former fine arts beauties were still beauties at the same school.

It just so happened that both of these beauties were now mothers and they both came from illustrious families; most importantly, both these beautiful teachers were not to be trifled with—one’s mouth sharp as a knife, the other’s fists like a mortar.

Shangguan’s daughter was two years old this year, her given name was Yang Mei, nickname Huahua; the given name was chosen by Shangguan, the nickname by Yang Shu. As Shangguan said, Yang Shu claimed that his daughter was a beautiful flower that bloomed under his big tree. Wasn’t she indeed Huahua?

When Sisi heard these peculiar names, she felt like her whole being was about to cringe.

How much creativity did this couple have to give their darling girl such a ridiculously funny name!

Little Huahua was the spitting image of Shangguan, not just in appearance, but in eating habits too—she couldn’t be happy without meat. Coupled with the fact that Huahua inherited her parents’ tall stature, she looked like a three- or four-year-old despite being only two.

This brought great joy to a certain Mr. Yang who loved to pamper, his favorite pastime being going to the company or researching the 366 ways to cook meat in the kitchen; his goal was to fatten up his wife and daughter!

It’s the only way hugging feels right!

Little Huahua grew into a complete little tyrant amidst such love and care, able to be subdued by no one but Little Dudu, and even little leopard would get a headache at the sight of Huahua.

Because only Dudu dared to hit Huahua, and without holding back. As a result, every time Huahua saw Dudu, she would subconsciously wrap her hands around her little bum, it became an instinct.

As scary as it was, Huahua still liked playing with Brother Dudu, which made her dad Yang Shu so mad he itched, accusing her of forgetting the pain as soon as the wound healed, not learning her lesson!

In fact, Sisi thought that Yang Shu was more jealous than angry. After all, his daughter prefers another man!

Huahua: Following Brother Dudu means I get to do lots of naughty things!

But Dudu didn’t really like playing with Huahua, quite disdaining this little sister.

What a girl, good at nothing, can’t show anyone around!

These were Dudu’s very own words.

Despite his disdain for the little girl, under the oppression of his own mother and Aunt Shangguan, Dudu had no choice but to let sister Huahua join their Yun Mansion’s Four Masters as the lagging fifth master.

What are the Yun Mansion’s Four Masters?

The oldest master, Lei Haiyang, six years old this year, son of Lei Gang and Zhang Jie, who was sent to stay with his grandfathers in the Capital City since birth. However, after forging a sworn brotherhood with little leopard Dudu, he spent more time in Yun Mansion than at home.

The second master is Little Leopard, the third, Dudu, and the fourth, Mao Dou. Among the four brothers, Haiyang has the wisdom and style of the eldest, Little Leopard is fierce and belligerent, Dudu is cunning and domineering, and Mao Dou is naïve and persistent—a very lovable group.

As for how the nickname "Yun Mansion’s Four Masters" came about? It all started when Du Du was three years old.

One day Mr. Yun leisurely strolled back from work, where he’d mixed in to collect a day’s pay, and called the children over to enthusiastically tell them about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," especially the part about the Oath of the Peach Garden, which made their little eyes sparkle, prompting them to declare they too wanted to become sworn siblings.

So the four kids solemnly became sworn siblings amongst the curling smoke of several filter cigarettes, thus becoming the later renowned Yun Mansion’s Four Masters.

Of course, they are now known as the Yun Mansion’s Five Masters.

But in the future, they turned into the Five Tyrants of the Capital City, causing the likes of Sisi and the other parents endless headaches, wishing they could reforge these troublesome brats from scratch.

And the gangster aura of these Five Tyrants of the Capital City is already showing its sharp little horns, alas!

One morning in June, Sisi finished her day’s classes and was getting ready to head home; Mr. Yun had mentioned yesterday that he had a craving for radish buns, and with Niu Erniu getting on in years, she had to head to Yun Mansion early to help make the buns, otherwise the sheer quantity needed for so many people would be too much for Niu Erniu.

Shangguan had already finished her classes and was eagerly waiting for Sisi so they could leave work and head home together. Sisi washed her hands, packed up, picked up her backpack, and was ready to head off.

’Beep beep beep’

It was the pager in her bag going off—the pager is the latest electronic product launched by Ai Hua Group, and Ai Hua Appliances has already achieved Wang Shishi’s dream, selling worldwide and becoming the biggest appliance production base in the world, having long since surpassed R country to become number one globally.

In the last few years, Ai Hua Group also established Ai Hua Technology Company, whose first manufactured product was the pager, which sold out as soon as it hit the market.

Today, having a pager clipped to your belt is a symbol of status and position, especially in public places like on the bus. If someone’s pager goes off with a ’beep beep beep’, it immediately attracts envious, jealous, and resentful glares, instantaneously inflating their confidence by two hundred percent—it’s definitely a product with swagger.

As a daughter of the main family behind Ai Hua, naturally, Sisi used the very best one designed exclusively by Tian Donghua, a unique and dainty model with a pink casing, which even had Sisi’s name written on it by He Xuewen.

Thus, the pager Sisi used represented the ultimate in showing off!

At that moment, Shangguan’s pager also sounded. Checking it, they both saw it was from the kindergarten teacher.

She made a call back, and on the other side Du Du’s young female teacher was almost in tears, saying that Du Du and four other kids got into a brawl with some kids from another class. The fight was fierce and the outcome was particularly brutal, urging Sisi to hurry to the school.

Shangguan heard the same story when she called. Sisi was rather curious about just how these five had fought that made the kindergarten teacher speak in terms of ’fierceness’ and ’brutality.’

Sisi thought it over and simply called both Lei Family and Yun Mansion, saying that there was no need to make a fuss, as she and Shangguan would handle the school matter.

But the elders really didn’t take it to heart; isn’t it normal for kids to fight? What’s there to be so surprised about? Hence, as soon as they heard Sisi’s plan, they immediately clapped their hands and withdrew their legs, which were about to head to the school.

Shanguan also didn’t make much of it. After getting into the car with Sisi, she urged her to drive faster because she was eager to get back to those radish buns!

Sisi was exasperated by these carefree parents; it turned out she was the only one worried from beginning to end. Why did no one ask whether the children were hurt, or if they had injured others?

The nonchalant parents chuckled: Our kids get hurt? Impossible! It’s definitely the other side who lost the fight!
