Eliminating Hongguo’s chaotic thoughts, Wen Ran lay at home for three days and started to feel restless.

She figured she must have ADHD.

Being idle is fine, but being idle constantly is a no-go.

Hiss~

Got to find something to do.

It was quite a coincidence.

Spring plowing had just finished, and there had been several big rains.

Mushrooms on the mountain were popping up in flushes.

Initially, the Xiao Family was very busy, but now they had nothing much to do.

Except for Xiao Chenyue taking care of the kids and Xiao Chengguang recovering from an injury, the whole family had free time.

"Let’s go up the mountain?"

Xiao Chenye instinctively responded, "You want to gather pigweed?"

Wen Ran: "... Hiss, can’t you aim higher? And the mountain, all you can think of is pigweed?"

"Then what do you want to do?"

Xiao Chenye looked confused, "You aren’t planning some mischief, are you?"

Wen Ran: "!"

Unbelievable.

This guy got a bit cocky after getting married.

She lifted her arm and gave Xiao Chenye an elbow, "Say it again if you dare."

Wen Ran’s strength was no joke.

With one blow, Xiao Chenye was grimacing in pain, "Hey, are you trying to murder your husband!"

"Murder my husband? So what?" Wen Ran said shockingly, "When the time comes, I could not only murder my husband.

I could take your whole family and remarry."

Xiao Chenye: "..."

That’s not something one should say.

"Alright, alright," Xiao Chenye rubbed his ribs, hissing in pain, "Why don’t you just say what you want to do, today, I’m sacrificing myself to accompany you."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Mrs. Xiao flung a shoe that landed squarely on Xiao Chenye’s butt.

"Mom!"

An impossible life.

Why is the whole family ganging up on me?

Turning around, oh great, there was someone in the corner gloating.

Xiao Chengguang was laughing until he noticed something wasn’t right.

That guy’s gaze...

Hiss, creepy and unsettling.

Xiao Chenye grinned at Xiao Chengguang, mouthing the words: "You’re done for, just you wait."

Xiao Chengguang: "..."

His heart missed a beat, realizing it was too late to escape.

"Mom!"

Xiao Chenye howled, "My brother just said, he never wants to get married in this lifetime."

"Ha!"

Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyes, "Even if he marries a man, I couldn’t care less."

Xiao Chenye: "...?"

Mother, you’ve changed too quickly.

Why are you not reacting as usual?

Previously, this topic was untouchable, bring it up, and she’d explode, and after exploding, she’d hang herself with a rope, cursing all the while.

Now, it seems ineffective?

Seeing this, Xiao Chengguang settled down immediately.

His raised buttocks slowly settled back onto the chair.

He spread his legs casually, raised an eyebrow at Xiao Chenye, full of provocation.

Xiao Chenye: "..."

Honestly, feeling quite upset.

However, he rolled his eyes, and one wicked idea after another popped into his head.

"Mom," Xiao Chenye lamented, "Actually, I don’t really care if he gets married.

The main thing is, he just said, if he never marries, he hopes the child that Ranran and I have could be given to him.

He doesn’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, just so it could take care of him in his old age."

Xiao Chengguang’s wide grin suddenly vanished.

Mrs. Xiao: "?"

The hunt is on.

"Wait, what?"

"Yes," Xiao Chenye nodded, hesitatingly, "Actually, I’m not that petty, I just feel like children should be the darlings of their parents.

Taking care of him in his old age is fine, but he still needs to call me and Ranran their parents."

Xiao Chengguang looked at his mother’s furious face, dumbfounded, "No, Xiao Chenye, you little rascal! This is pure slander and defamation!

This, I swear, I never said that. If I’m envious of Xiao Chenye’s kid, I’m a beast."

"I can understand if you’re envious of Ran’s kid," Mrs. Xiao grumbled as she scanned the room for a broom.

As the cherished jacket of parents, naturally, Xiao Chenye had to help.

He dashed to the corner, grabbing a broom, "Here you go!"

Mrs. Xiao charged with the broom, "You shameless brat, I told you to get married, but you didn’t, and now you’re envious of someone else’s kid.

Shameless, see if I don’t beat you to death today.

Originally, because you were injured, even if I found you insufferable, I didn’t say much.

But now, you dare to walk into trouble."

"Wait," Xiao Chengguang, clutching his head, darted around, "Mom, it’s really a misunderstanding! Xiao Chenye is framing me!"

"I don’t care about framing or not, you stand right there!"

"I won’t!"

Standing there to get hit would be utterly foolish.

He had no choice but to run.

Minmin stood under the eaves, holding a chair, watching Mrs. Xiao’s valiant figure, stars in her eyes.

"Hit him! Hit hit hit!"

She was extremely happy, clapping her little hands, "Hit hit hit hit!"

With excitement, she plopped down to the ground.

"Hee hee hee~"

The laughter echoed out of the small courtyard.

The commotion lasted for half an hour.

Mrs. Xiao gave Xiao Chengguang a beating, along with a smack for Xiao Chenye.

Xiao Chenye, bewildered, "Mom, why are you hitting me?"

"For stirring up trouble, who else should I hit?"

Xiao Chenye: "...You noticed?"

Mrs. Xiao: "Ha!"

She chuckled disdainfully, exuding an aura of nobleness and coldness, "Your mother isn’t dumb."

It was merely an excuse to vent some anger on her son.

In fact, with the kid running around so fast, she felt relieved.

At least it showed he was recovering well. Even if he had to wait a few more days to return to the team, as a mother, she wouldn’t be worrying at home. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Honestly, as parents, they don’t ask for much, just hope their kids are safe and sound and live a good life.

But kids grow up, develop aspirations, and plan their lives with their dreams to chase.

Even if worried, parents can only let go, giving them a stage to showcase themselves.

...

To trap his brother, Xiao Chenye paid with a thousand casualties and suffered twenty percent damage himself.

After a beating, he reluctantly went up the mountain with the whole family.

Yes.

The entire family mobilized.

Even Xiao Chengguang climbed the mountain with his weak body, because he wanted to see how his sister-in-law commanded the wolf pack.

Halfway up the mountain, the wolves arrived just by smelling the scent, without Wen Ran’s call.

One wolf, two wolves, three wolves...

Oh my god, an endless number of wolf heads.

Xiao Chenyue wobbled, leaning on Gula’s arm, and murmured, "Oh Lord, it scared the wits out of me, I could hug my heart fast enough."
