Little bun was just a baby and his strength was nothing to fear out. However, the light slap, however, was loud enough for others to hear. Chen Mi who saw his son acting recklessly because of his mother's extreme doting felt his temple throb. This child! No matter how much his mother doted on him, there was a limit to what he could do and couldn't do! How can he slap his mother like this?
Others would probably call Chen Mi for thinking too much. That Little bun was just a baby and didn't have full control of his limbs but Chen Mi knew his son better than anyone else. The boy was smart really smart compared to his peers, and could easily control his forelimbs. So, Chen Mi knew that his son slapping his mother was not an accidental slap but his son truly meant it! He was still upset about being fed vegetables and rice with no beef stew that was stewed until it became so soft that it melted right in his mouth without him chewing it!
" bunbun, you don't hit mommy! You don't slap her no matter how angry and fussy you are" If Yu Dong wasn't here Chen Mi would have lightly smacked his son's butt to teach him a lesson but with Yu Dong's don't hit the child policy he could do nothing except scolding his son. And of course, that little devil pouted! He pouted as if he was wronged!
And as expected Yu Dong, his wife who had no resistance against that brat melted right off the bat. She smiled and softly cooed at little bun while she lightly admonished him " Mi, it's okay. Bunbun is still so small, it doesn't matter when he grows up you can teach him then"
" Dong Dong, you just spoil bunbun! It's good that you dote on him but if you keep forgiving his small offences he will slowly grow up spoiled and bratty!" said Chen Mi, he didn't want to fight with his wife and he was really happy that his son was getting doted on even though he was a mer but he was really worried that his son would grow spoiled. In the entire house only he and brother Li kept Little bun in check, even brother Liu spoils little bun! If this goes on then they really might have a troublemaker in their house!
Yu Dong knew that Chen Mi was worried but she didn't think about it much. Though Little bun was a bit stubborn and wilful, he hardly ever fussed compared to other children in the village, he was really good!
" it's fine don't worry, as his mother I can spoil him a little," said Yu Dong as she patted Little bun on the back and rubbed his little nose feeling happier than ever. When she was in her world, she hardly lived a day where she could just return home and take a break from everything, there was no break from zombies. Sometimes when mutations happened she had to kill the same zombie three times because it would somehow ' fix' himself and become even a gorier version of himself- later on, the officers learned to burn the zombies leaving nothing intact to fix.
So, these small things - brought her uncountable number of joys.
"Let's go out, we should allow them to take a rest. Zhu Qian, Lang you can take a small nap - by then I will be finished preparing the dinner," said Yu Dong as she turned to leave, however, how could Zhu Qian let her leave and cook dinner for them?
She was the one who purchased them if anything he should be the one cooking the meals right?
" Stay here and take care of your wife and daughter, look at them one looks worse than the other. I think you will be more of help here than in the kitchen, so take a break" said Yu Dong firmly after trying to refuse, Zhu Qian more than ten times. It was just cooking a meal, she had more than enough members in her family to call if she wanted help. Zhu Qian should be with his daughter instead of helping around the kitchen, Yu Dong was neither a tyrant nor a cold-hearted bastard to force Zhu Qian to work in such conditions.
Once the Yu family was gone Zhu Qian turned his face to Lang and slowly wiped his tears, his heart was filled with joy. Though he wished to magically heal his wife and daughter, he couldn't help but thank Yu Dong for her kindness, if not for her who knows what would have happened to their Family?
Lang urged her husband to lay down a bit and rest, his was even paler than Lang Ru who was sick with fever. She too was really grateful for Yu Dong's help but she didn't want her husband to be burdened because of this either, in future once her leg was healed she will definitely work like an ox to repay Yu Dong for whatever she did for his family.
Ye Liu who had returned after buying the rice noodles and the chicken, together with Yu Dong he dealt with the chicken. While Shen Li was in the backyard cleaning the chicken coop, on the other hand, the daddy and baby were doing a face-off.
" you can not hit mommy, you can't throw a tantrum either. You can't be picky as well " said Chen Mi as he repeated his words again and again to Little bun who babbled incomprehensibly as if he could not understand a thing his father was talking about.
Chen Mi watched his son rolling his toy, a round big ball that Yu Dong took out from her space and stretched his arms before snatching the ball from his son. Little bun finally looked at his father with an expression that screamed ' you traitor !'
Chen Mi huffed as he put the ball aside and looked at his son sternly " really, don't act like you can't understand me because I know you do."
Little bun ".." see no evil, don't speak to evil.
Chen Mi stared at his son's ' I don't understand a thing' stance and narrowed his eyes before speaking " you better get serious, or else you will get no meat for the next week"
That caught little bun's attention, he sat up straight and looked at his father matching his ' glaring' expression.
" This is not how you do things, bunbun. You can't just hit mommy for gaining her attention, look at daddy isn't he doing good?"
Little did Chen Mi expect his son to look him up and down before letting a small sound that sounded like ' Cheh '
It was as if his son was looking down at him!
