Chapter 2289 - 2291: Saying My Sister and I Are Orphans

Ye Zi’an looked at Qingqing with a mix of amusement and frustration.

"Who taught you to speak so sharply?"

"It’s natural." Qingqing raised her eyes, "Dad, I wasn’t wrong."

Yangyang stepped forward and pinched his little cheeks, "You’re right, when Yueyue comes back, we all have to step aside, but don’t be sad, brother loves you."

"I’ll love you too."

With their hands clasped together, the two brothers showed brotherly love, making the onlookers crack a smile.

Having not seen Ms.Wang and the others for a long time, Yang Chuxia pulled Ms.Wang aside to chat secretly at night, and later they squeezed onto the same bed to sleep.

Left alone, Ye Zi’an felt incredibly grudging. Remembering Qingqing’s words during the day, he went to find the three brothers for a chat.

Upon reaching Yangyang’s courtyard, he saw Lele directing people to deliver bathwater, while Yangyang fetched clothes and brought a stool.

"Brother, you go in, I’ll help you bathe." Watching him carefully support Qingqing as he stepped onto the stool to get into the wooden tub.

"Thank you!"

Lele used a small towel to wipe his face, while Yangyang applied fragrant soap on him.

Leaning against the wall, Ye Zi’an’s heart was touched; the kids were so sensible and obedient, it was wonderful!

"You work well together, don’t you?"

Yangyang saw him enter and snorted, "Dear Dad, we three brothers have decided to love each other, go ahead and care for whoever you want, we don’t need you anymore."

"Right!" Qingqing nodded in agreement.

Lele glanced at him but said nothing, although he felt the same way.

"Ha!" Ye Zi’an laughed, "Look at your manners, fighting over affection with your sister, and still have the nerve."

"Why shouldn’t we?" Yangyang rolled his eyes, "It’s fine if we spoil her, but Dad can’t just spoil her alone, give some love to us too."

"I’m younger than sister anyway." Qingqing complained, "People usually love the eldest grandson and youngest son, never seen anyone dote on the third child."

"Haha!" Lele burst out laughing, "Qingqing, where did you hear that?"

"Aunties in the village say it, lots of things." Qingqing said, "Some even say girls are a financial drain, but my sister and I beat them up, how can sister be a financial drain when she’s about to become our family’s treasure?"

"You can beat people up?" Ye Zi’an stepped forward.

"Of course!" Qingqing boasted, "Anyone who calls me a wild child gets beaten up!"

"Someone said such things to you?" Ye Zi’an felt uncomfortable inside, his kids were his treasures, who would be so crude?

"Village people say it." Qingqing snorted, "They say my sister and I have no parents and are pitiful, even bad girls try to snatch my sister’s flowers, wanting to grab her clothes too when they see them."

Yangyang got angry hearing this, "Who? Tell brother who bullied you. How dare they grab my sister’s things? I’ll beat them to death!"

Lele squinted and asked, "Qingqing, who all bullied you and Yueyue? Tell me, brother will help you get revenge."

"Fourth maternal grandfather’s young aunt, Uncle Li’s young daughter... a few bad girls."

Ye Zi’an understood, realizing it was just a group of kids having a spat.

"No worries, when we go back to Funan, point them out to brother, I’ll teach them a lesson."

Qingqing nodded nonchalantly, "That’s exactly what I told them."

Turning to look at Ye Zi’an, Qingqing added, "Dad, let’s shower together, the village’s boy always mocks me for not having a dad to take me to the seaside for a bath."
