Chapter 514
Xiaowang also learned to comfort his brother, “I’m not very good at writing, though.”
However, Sanwang was not comforted.
Seeing them having so much fun, Sanwang himself was also infected, “I didn’t get the reward because I didn’t want to fight my dearest siblings for it. Since my Second Sister and Second Brother want it so much, paired with the greedy little Xiaowang. What I’m doing is simply being Kongrong who offered the best plums(3).”
(T/N: Based on a Chinese legend, a boy named Kongrong was the 4th child out of 5 brothers. He offered the larger pears to his older brothers because he was younger, but also gave up his supposed pear for his littlest brother because he believed he had to take care of the younger)
Maisui, “Kongrong offered pears not plums; don’t teach our Xiaowang the wrong things.” RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
Lin Lan thought about it and deemed that it seemed okay, “Then go and see which team has a donkey that’s idling so we can borrow one to help us.”
Sanwang smiled and said, “Mother, didn’t you always say that my Eldest Brother is a donkey? Why would we need to get a donkey...um, guys, help me...” Before he finished speaking, he was carried out by Dawang.
Lin Lan and Erwang then busied themselves, remaining at home to cook.
When Erwang went to get some grass, he was taken aback for a moment before he came back and asked, “Mother, why do we only have so little left?”
Lin Lan thought rather sarcastically, well, maybe it’s because I was using them?
In the end, she said, “We have two kangs here,” Plus, there were times where the family took showers and when they boiled water, they didn’t use firewood.
Erwang, “It seems that there is not enough hard firewood. After cooking, I’ll go with my Eldest Brother over to the river and chop some vitex stalks before coming home.”
