Chapter 242 You Crybaby, You're Made of Water

Eldest brother, don't you think this crybaby is made of water? If we say even a few words to her, she'll sit there and cry nonstop!

Yuqin was furious when she heard Xiao Mulong still calling Nuannuan the crybaby.

First, he gently placed Xiao Nuannuan into Mu Wang's arms, and then gently patted Nuannuan's little head.

Good boy! How about you let your older brother take you to play in his study first?

Mother has something very important to take care of right now, and she will come to find you in a little while.

Mother, since you have something to attend to, then I will go to the study with my elder brother.

My elder brother told me to write a piece of calligraphy for him to see every day, and I suddenly realized that I hadn't finished it yet.

Yang Mulong, did you know I was going to beat you up? So you came up with such a lame excuse to fool me?

Haha! Mu Long, it seems like it's been quite a few days since you showed me your calligraphy practice.

How come you didn't think of this for so many days! You only remembered it when our mother was about to scold you, is that it?

Ouch! Ouch! Mother, please take a look and see if my older brother has hurt my little head?

Mother, you have no idea! During the time you were away from the Yang family, my elder brother would often hit me on the head with his fists.

When Mu Wang heard his little brother tattling to his mother, he glared at Mu Long and was about to kick him hard.

Unexpectedly, Mu Long suddenly shouted at this moment.

Mother, look what my dear elder brother is up to now! If you weren't here with us, he would definitely kick me.

Mu Long, don't you feel your face burning right now? You were just saying that our little Nuan Nuan always loves to tattle on us and is very annoying.

But look at what you're doing now! How can you be a real man with this kind of behavior?

Do you know? My older brother's kicks really hurt! You asked me last time how I got those bruises on my calves.

Hehe! Mu Long, what are you trying to do by bringing this up? Are you trying to complain to our mother again? And then she'll hit me hard with a small bamboo stick.

No! My elder brother tattles on others—that's something little girls like to do! I, Mu Long, am a man; how could I possibly do such a thing?

Mu Long, haven't I been telling you this all along? As the eldest brother, you are like a father to us. When your father and I are not at the Yang residence, you must listen to your eldest brother.

As soon as Yuqin finished speaking, she noticed that Mulong had covered his ears with both hands without her noticing.

Seeing her youngest son looking away impatiently, she flew into a rage. She raised her hand and slapped Mu Long's little face.

Hmph! He spends only a few days a month at the Yang residence with my elder brother and me. He and Father spend all their time in that place called Black Rentang, doing who-knows-what?

He never takes a single moment to come back and spend time with me and my older brother! Now, I don't know why he's back staying for so long! And he's brought along this little crybaby who's always so prone to tears.

Mu Long, what are you muttering about with that little mouth? And why are you looking at our mother with such malicious eyes?

Is the aunt standing before us really our mother? Or did our father marry her because he saw how much we missed our mother?

Waaaaah! Long'er, do you know how much your words hurt your mother? The reason your mother hit you is because what you just said hurt your little sister!

Your mother has always hoped that you two brothers would be sensible and polite, and wouldn't say hurtful things. But I never imagined that you, Long'er, would be so foul-mouthed!

I really don't know how you, Muwang, have acted as the eldest brother while I was away from the Yang residence. Haven't I always told you to act like an elder brother in front of your younger siblings?

Mother, it's all my fault! Why do you have to blame my elder brother? Besides, don't you know the saying, "If you don't teach your son, it will be the father's fault"?

Yuqin was stunned by what Xiao Mulong said, because Mulong was only three and a half years old at the time. Other children his age were still squatting on the floor playing in the mud.

But looking at her youngest son, who could utter such a philosophical statement, it's clear that when she and her husband were not around, her eldest son must have put a lot of effort into educating her youngest.

Haha! Yang Mulong, I've been with you for so long and I never knew you were a chameleon.

Waaaaah! That's because you, elder brother, now have that little girl, how could you still remember me, your younger brother?

After hearing what Xiao Mulong said to him, Muwang reached out his finger and gently tapped Mulong's little head.

Hey bro, I've noticed you've become increasingly sour lately. Did you accidentally fall into a vat of vinegar one day?

Upon hearing his elder brother say this, Mu Long immediately brought the corner of his clothes to his nose and smelled it.

Why can't Long'er smell the sour smell you mentioned, elder brother? Is Long'er's nose broken?

Hmm! How about this? Mother and elder brother have nothing to do right now, so let's take our Long'er to the clinic at Brother Changchun's house.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mulong took off running, shouting "Master Fu! Master Fu! Master Fu!" as he ran.

My dear Second Master, what do you want from me?

Boil a big pot of water for me! Because I'm going to take a really nice hot bath today. I need to wash away this vinegar smell from myself.

Hahaha! Long'er, when did you fall into a vat of jealousy? How come your mother didn't know about this?

Only after hearing this did Xiao Mulong belatedly realize that his cunning elder brother had been deceiving him.

So she pouted and said, "That's because you don't care about me and my elder brother at all! You don't care about anything concerning the two of us brothers."

Long'er, how could you harbor such hostility towards our mother? Do you know that saying such things makes our mother feel extremely distressed?

Xiao Mulong stopped talking and silently shed tears. In order to prevent his mother and elder brother from discovering this, he quietly ran out of the house.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Blackie's cries pulled Xia Rong from her pleasant memories, and it was Blackie's cries that caught Mu Long's attention.

You don't know yet, do you? My dad's big black cat had kittens! They'll be a month old in mid-July.
