208 How Could There Be Such a Clumsy Person?

The children who were originally full of admiration looked at Nine in disbelief.

Dumby took Nine’s hand and looked at it. He touched it as if he could not believe that Nine had such great strength. “Uncle Nine, you’ve gotten into trouble. Mother will spank you when she comes back.”

“It was just an accident. I’ll try again.” As Nine spoke, he picked up another small bowl.

He clearly felt that he had been very careful, but the bowl in his hand was not obedient. Nine’s hand suddenly slipped again.

Crack!

This time, the small bowl directly fell to the ground. It was completely shattered.

The three children, “…”

“Uncle Nine, why don’t we do it? Otherwise, there won’t be any bowls, chopsticks, and plates for dinner tonight,” Gu Lin looked helplessly at Nine and said with a heart-wrenching tone.

Nine stood at the same spot, not knowing what to do. He thought for a moment and squatted down, wanting to pick up the fragments.

“Hey, Young Master Nine, you can’t just pick it up with your hands. What if you hurt your hands?” Nanny Sheng rushed over after hearing the commotion. She took the broom and swept up the fragments, constantly muttering about the safety of the fragments, “They’re not hurt, right?”

“Nanny Sheng, mother told Uncle Nine to do housework, but Uncle Nine doesn’t know how to clean the bowls. He even broke the bowls,” Lingbao said, looking at Nine with a helpless look.

She originally wanted to wait until Uncle Nine fell in love with their mother and became their father. Then, he could take care of their mother every day after she came back from work.

After seeing Nine’s embarrassed expression, Lingbao and the two brothers looked at each other. They both agreed that it was a very long road to make Uncle Nine proficient in housework.

“Nanny, I’m sorry,” Nine said awkwardly.

Nanny Sheng smiled kindly. “What’s the big deal? You didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, everyone has things they’re good at and things they’re not good at. As long as Young Master works hard, there will always be a reward.”

Nine looked at Nanny Sheng’s loving look, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart. “I still want to try other housework. Please teach me.”

Nanny Sheng agreed immediately. “Young Master, come with me.”

Nanny Sheng had agreed very readily, but in just a quarter of an hour, her smile turned into a twitch at the corner of her mouth.

In the short quarter of an hour, Nanny Sheng had only asked Nine to clean the table and sweep the floor.

At the end, when Nine was cleaning the table, he accidentally broke Gu Qingxue’s favorite vase. Not only did the dust fly up when he was sweeping the floor, but he also broke the broom at the waist with a crack.

Nanny Sheng almost suspected that Nine did it on purpose. Otherwise, how could there be such a clumsy person in this world?

However, Nine had an innocent look on his face. He looked like a child who had done something wrong. He stood in the middle of the mess, blinking his eyes at Nanny Sheng.

Nanny Sheng put her hand on her forehead and sighed. “Young Master Nine, why don’t you go rest?”

Their family was not a rich family now. They really did not have money to let Nine waste things like this.

Nine said frankly, “Nanny Sheng, I can do it. I want to try again.”

Nanny Sheng said, “Then go and wash the clothes that the Eldest Miss wore after she came down from the mountain that day. Those clothes are covered in mud. With our strength, we can’t wash them off. Maybe you can give it a try. If it doesn’t work, then throw them away. It doesn’t matter even if they tear apart after you wash them.”
