Chapter 423 I miss wife
Yu Mai had no intention of being chased around the courtyard with a stick so he sobbingly committed himself to the march of shame and first washed himself clean, his sister was there to keep tabs on him and when he wasn't able to wash the mud out of his hair and teeth, his sister picked him up and then picked the thing called soap before she started to wash him like he was some sort of dirty cloth. She rubbed him until his skin turned red from all that scrubbing and even tugged at his hair, though his sister wasn't beating him, Yu Mai felt really bad as if he was being washed like a vegetable.And after he was cleaned, he had to change his clothes and use his tiny hands to wash the mud off his clothes, a task that was hard enough to make him sweat.
" Rub it nicely, Mai, this little strength of yours will do nothing to that sticky mud."
" Use your strength what are you doing? Scrub it hard."
" Now beat it with the bat, not like this —- there should be less strength but enough force to beat the mud out of the clothes or else you will tear your clothes."
Yu Mai did his best to follow what his sister asked him to do but as a little boy with the strength of a mer, how much strength can he even put into washing his clothes? At the end after all the brushing and beating, it looked like Yu Mai was the one who was washing himself as bubbles stuck to his body here and there. " I...Is it enough?"
Yu Dong looked at the clothes that were anything but clean and then looked at her brother whose face was covered with bubbles and hesitation before she nodded while suppressing her laugh. "It's enough, go and wash your face, I will cook something for you."
Of course, Yu Dong's words were enough to cause Yu Mai's face to light up like a Christmas Tree, the latter jumped in the air and rushed inside the house as if he was afraid that his sister would change her mind. Yu Dong watched him go and shook her head before she picked up the wet clothes that Yu Mai has left behind and washed them clean along with the rest of the laundry.
" I have cut the cabbages as you told me this morning," said Fang Chi as soon as he saw Yu Dong coming inside the house, he knew that even though Yu Mai was going on and on about how he was punished by Yu Dong, the latter must have just taught him a lesson at the most. It was impossible for Yu Dong to beat Yu Mai like the rest of the parents did to their kids, so he wasn't worried about Yu Dong being in an ugly mood.
" You have worked hard," said Yu Dong as she smiled at Fang Chi and then her gaze turned to look at the kids who were playing on the floor. Though Yu Mai was active enough to keep himself entertained, the same couldn't be said for others…Mu Ran was much of an introvert who hardly showed any expression on her face, if not for her speaking her mind straightforwardly, Yu Dong would have been worried about her, and Mu Ran's brother —— Mu Zhu was a cry baby who will cry the second he got separated from his sister, so, Yu Dong had to carry him in her arms while she was teaching Mu Ran to cook even if it was dangerous for both of them.
And as for her own little brat —— she turned her head and sighed despondently when she saw Little bun beating the heck out of a teddy bear while chewing its head. It has been weeks but the little guy hasn't forgotten how his daddy thrust him like a bundle of potatoes in his mother's arm and would blow up from time to time as he remembered the betrayal of his daddy.
Yu Dong pinched the bridge of her nose as she sent a quick prayer for her third husband because she was sure that once he was back no one will be able to save him from the wrath of his son.
" Achoo!" Chen Mi who was soaking in the hot springs sneezed loudly.
" Are you okay?" Chu Chang who was sitting next to him while soaking his feet in the hot water asked gently.
" I am fine, actually I am more than fine!" Chen Mi sighed in contentment as he leaned his head against the big boulder that was protruding out of the hot spring. The Chu family wasn't just the richest in the Capital, they also knew how to have fun. Chu Chang's eldest sister who was hosting them for the time being had a hot spring bath in her house which she bought after outbidding the prime minister's daughter.
Chen Mi never thought that he will ever have so much fun just by soaking in hot water like this but he was, every pore in his body seemed to be getting unwinded as the hot water from the springs gushed against his body. " I am going to ask my wife to get me a hot spring as well!"
Shen Li and Ye Liu laughed at his words as they too soaked their bodies in the hot water before Ye Liu said, " Don't even try to do that, she will really go around looking for one."
" What's wrong with her looking one for me?" pouted Chen Mi as he picked up the curvaceous bottle filled with warm milk. " Isn't it nice?"
"It's nice but I will rather not have our wife running around looking for hot springs," said Ye Liu as he took the bottle that Chen Mi offered him.
" He is right," said Chu Chang from the side. " Hot springs are even rare in the capital, if not my sister wouldn't have outbid the prime minister's daughter."
" Hear that?" said Shen Li as he pointed to Chu Chang while looking at Chen Mi who rolled his eyes and said, " Fine." Then he leaned his head on the raised platform behind him and stared right at the open sky before muttering, " I miss wife."
