288: Chapter 288: You Are Not Taller Than Me (Part 1) 288: Chapter 288: You Are Not Taller Than Me (Part 1) Zhou Xiao had remembered all the family members after Yang Ruxin introduced them once, obediently calling out âSecond Sisterâ and addressing the younger brothers and sisters, but when it came to Sanni, he couldnât bring himself to call her âsister,â so he called her Mengmeng instead.
âIâm a year older than you, you should call me âsister,'â Sanni insisted, glaring at Zhou Xiao.
âYouâre not taller than me, so youâre not a sister, youâre Mengmeng.
Otherwise, Iâll call you Sanni,â Zhou Xiao didnât know why either, but he was just being stubborn, refusing to call her âsister.â
Sanni was going a bit crazy: âI was too hungry before.
I will definitely catch up to you soon, and you must call me âsister.â
But Zhou Xiaoâs face was full of defiance: âThen talk to me about it when you catch up.â
âYouâŠâ Sanni was completely at a loss for words.
âMengmeng or Sanni, you choose!â Zhou Xiao said, dead serious.
Sanni stamped her foot: âI canât be bothered with you anymore.â
Zhou Xiao, however, revealed a triumphant smile.
âThird sister got outsmartedâŠâ Xiaosi covered her mouth with glee, snickering.
âWatch out, Iâll beat you up!â Sanni glared.
âBig sister, save meâŠâ Xiaosi immediately scurried behind Yang Ruxin on her little short legs.
âItâs already noon, letâs hurry up and cook,â Yang Ruxin drank a bowl of water and was too lazy to even look at the two childish kids.
Instead, she called Erni over, âAfter lunch, you need to hurry up and make the quilts and clothes for everyoneâŠâ
âWhat about you?â Sanni heard Yang Ruxinâs words and forgot about her squabble with Zhou Xiao, unable to help glancing at Yang Ruxin.
âIâm going up the mountain,â Yang Ruxin smiled, âIâll be back soon after picking some herbs.â
âBig sister, donât go,â Erni anxiously grabbed Yang Ruxinâs arm and shook her head, âWe have silver now, donât take any risksâŠâ
The rest became anxious as well, even Zhou Xiao frowned.
âDonât worry, I have good friends in the forest, so I wonât be in danger,â Yang Ruxin smiled.
âBig sister, do you really believe that yourself?â Sanni rolled her eyes.
âThen tell me why Iâve always come back unharmed from the mountain?â Yang Ruxin slightly raised an eyebrow, âAnd even managed to hunt wild chickens and Black Bear?â
Zhou Xiaoâs eyes bulged, Ruxin sister could actually hunt Black Bear?
She remembered two years ago her father hunted a Black Bear and used its fur to make clothes for her and her sister.
But her father is a General, she never thought Ruxin sister was as formidable as her father.
âThen you have to prove it to us,â Sanni was persistent.
The other little ones nodded vigorously in agreement.
âI will,â Yang Ruxin nodded, âBut I wonât go deep into the mountains this afternoon, just gathering some herbs around here, and Iâll be back soon.â Saying this, she raised her hand, âNo more talking about it.
Iâve made up my mind, and I promise Iâll return safely.â
Erni still wanted to say something but she also knew this big sisterâever since she woke up from her coma last time, her word was final.
So she could only sigh, yet she secretly resolved to do more embroidery work to lighten big sisterâs burdens.
Sanni didnât voice any more objections either.
Yang Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: âHow is the little aunt today?â
Sure enough, that got everyone giggling.
âShe didnât make a fuss again, did she?â Yang Ruxin also became interested.
âHeihei, exactly,â Sanni chuckled mischievously, âThe little aunt was eyeing outside all the time, wanting to leave, but every time someone tried to go out the door, she would leap on them.
And guess what happened?â
