Take a Sip of Milk to Calm My Nerves, the Whole Family is Waiting for Me to Save Them – Chapter 49

Ch 49: How Can You Sit Still?

Yuan Xiang returned from outside, looking sneaky with a face full of spring breeze. Because she was distracted, she bumped into Chen He, who was about to enter the courtyard.

Chen He staggered from the collision, dodging away from Yuan Xiang, who was lunging at him. Yuan Xiang didn’t expect Chen He, that old man, to be so unromantic and directly fell to the ground.

She lay on the ground in a disheveled state, looking at Chen He with a wronged expression: “Brother Chen.”

Chen He touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. Actually, he could have caught her just now. But the Heir had been talking about male virtue and remaining chaste like jade recently, so he subconsciously dodged.

“Well, can you get up by yourself?”

Yuan Xiang: “……”

Chen He felt that today was particularly cold. He looked up and, coincidentally, saw his sweetheart.

“Dongxiao!”

Dongxiao gave him a look for him to understand on his own and went back into the house to pour Chou Chou a bowl of milk.

Chou Chou: Why do I feel like I ate two meals at noon?

Chen He didn’t bother with Yuan Xiang, told her to get up by herself, and chased after Dongxiao.

Yuan Xiang angrily pounded the ground with her fist: “D*mn it! I will definitely make you all pay the price in the future!”

Qiu Yue suspiciously asked: “Yuan Xiang, what are you doing?”

Yuan Xiang hurriedly got up from the ground, instantly changing back to the little girl who smiled brightly and seemed ignorant of the world: “Sister Qiu Yue, I accidentally slipped just now.”

“Oh, then get up quickly and go to the backyard to see if there’s anything you need to help with. Don’t just stand here.”

“Okay, Sister Qiu Yue.”

What Qiu Yue didn’t know was that after she turned around, the person behind her changed her face again, becoming cold and sinister, like a poisonous snake coiled in Jingxin Yuan, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Chen He entered the house. Dongxiao was constantly pouring cow’s milk for Chou Chou, and the little one’s face was covered in milk stains.

【Burp~】

【I seem to have eaten two meals. Aunt Dongxiao, I politely decline!】

Chen He first glanced at Dongxiao, who was pretending to be angry, and then reported the matter to Su Junyao.

“Heir, as you arranged, I indeed dug something out in the backyard of the Zheng Family in the east of the City.”

Chou Chou, perking up her ears, held Dongxiao’s hand: 【Aunt, I’ll eat later.】

【What did you dig out? Is it gold? Finders keepers, can you share some with me?】

Three consecutive questions, the Koi is greedy for money!

Su Junyao and Yun Jinglan tacitly pretended not to hear and instructed Chen He to carry the things in. They also wanted to know how much gold Qiao Muyang had hidden.

Chen He smiled honestly, but his eyes were full of shrewdness: “How can such vulgar yellow and white objects be used to defile the eyes of the Heir and Madam? I heard that Madam’s shop needs to stock up on goods and is short of silver, so I took the liberty of paying for you in advance.”

“Of course, the shop has a partnership with Third Master, and it will definitely make a lot of money in less than three months. Madam can just go and collect the money then.”

Yun Jinglan & Su Junyao: “……”

Yun Jinglan quickly reacted and glared at Su Junyao: “Chen He used to be such an honest child. What have you turned him into!”

Su Junyao: “……” Innocent disaster!

“Madam, listen to me, Chen He’s mind is like a lotus root……”

A sharp little milky voice almost broke the sound, interrupting her Dad’s explanation:

【What?!】

【My gold is gone?!】

【That year, apricot blossoms fell like rain, and you said you’d split your gold in half with me!!!】

Su Junyao: Who exactly promised her that?!

Chou Chou was deeply saddened……

But Chen He’s next sentence made Chou Chou perk up again: “But Third Master said that he doesn’t want his share and will give it all to Miss Chou Chou as a New Year’s gift.”

Chou Chou: 【!!!】

The real shock was that a single sentence could almost make a three-month-old baby run.

【Aunt, let go of me, I’ll crawl even if I have to crawl to thank Third Uncle!】

Chou Chou wiggled her chubby body, and Dongxiao almost couldn’t hold her. It must be said that as the months went by, the Little Miss’s strength was also increasing.

◈◈◈

She remembered that the Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master didn’t seem to have so much strength when they were little!

Yun Jinglan spoke up to rescue Dongxiao: “Put her down.”

She wanted to see how she would crawl to thank her Third Uncle.

Chou Chou liked to lie there and wiggle her limbs. A section of the room had been cleared out and padded with three or four layers of plush blankets, which was perfect for Chou Chou to lie on.

She stretched her neck like a little turtle, looking at the people present for help, but everyone tacitly avoided looking at her. After a while, she flipped over, bored.

【When spring blooms next year, I’ll buy a pond full of Jinli, and then beat up all the Cats in the Mansion!】

Yun Jinglan could already imagine how chaotic the whole family would be at this time next year.

But……

Why does she want to beat up the Cats?

Is it because the Tabby Cat in the Mansion meows and scolds her every time it passes by?

Headache……

Chen He also said a strange thing, “But when I was digging the pit in the Zheng residence, something in the room spontaneously combusted, but it burned very quickly and turned to ashes in an instant.”

He brought back the ashes, but they were burned too cleanly. The flames shot up all at once, and he didn’t have time to put them out.

Su Junyao and Yun Jinglan stared at him together. Chen He took a step back. Why did he feel a chill down his back?

Su Junyao: “Imperial Physician Wang is still in the Mansion. Go find him to take a look. Consider it a work-related injury.”

Yun Jinglan: “Dongxiao will accompany you.”

Chen He: “This humble one will go now!!!”

Chou Chou: 【Why did everyone leave?】

【Uncle Chen He, you haven’t told me how much I can share yet?】

Su Junyao scooped Chou Chou up with one hand, letting the little chubby worm lie on his arm. Chou Chou trembled, her light eyebrows furrowed together.

Now she was facing a very serious matter. Did her Dad know that she was his only Daughter?

The feeling of her little feet not touching the ground was a little scary!

Yun Jinglan saw Chou Chou’s tense appearance, her two little chubby legs kicking back, and almost burst out laughing.

“Did she finally settle down?”

【Yes, yes, yes, I’ve settled down, and you’re about to be unsettled.】

Chou Chou tensed her body, unable to help but retort in her heart, unaware that her parents were pricking up their ears, waiting for her next sentence.

【Aren’t you worried that my Eldest Brother is so old and doesn’t have a Wife yet?】

【Aren’t you losing sleep over the fact that my Second Brother is so old and doesn’t have a career?】

Now Yun Jinglan really couldn’t settle down.

The Eldest Brother is seventeen this year and hasn’t settled on a marriage yet, spending all his days fighting and killing at the Frontier. It’s not impossible for him to spend the rest of his life with that broken sword of his.

And then there’s the Second Brother, who didn’t even come back this year for the New Year. She didn’t know if he had taken the Autumn Examination to heart.

Yun Jinglan couldn’t sit still and stood up with a “cheng”, “No, I’m going to write each of them a letter!”

Su Junyao watched helplessly as his Madam left in a flurry, leaving only himself and the culprit staring at each other.

He poked Chou Chou’s cheek: “You scared your Mother.”

【Didn’t I say you? A beauty who brings disaster, don’t forget that Aunt is still at our Home, be careful she sends you Ginseng Soup tonight~】

Su Junyao: “……”

He didn’t provoke anyone, why curse him like this!
