"Jinbao, Xiaosi, as your brother, it's his fault for not taking good care of you."
"Fourth brother is right," Jinbao hugged her father's leg. "Fourth brother likes Jinbao, so he listened to Jinbao. If I make trouble for dad to take Jinbao to play, dad will definitely take me there too.
.”
Su Jianmin was distracted by the little girl's words.
He thought to himself, it was right, who could refuse Jin Bao's request? Even he couldn't refuse, let alone Xiaosi.
Lin Yulan said at this time: "Master Su, it's normal for children to be playful at this age. Besides, Jin Bao is not injured. I just want to educate the child on this matter. Don't hit the child."
"Yes," Bai Lu agreed, "I will tell Xiao Si nicely, please stop hitting him."
After saying that, she gently pushed her husband and said, "Go back to work in the factory, otherwise you will be counted as absent from work."
"Okay, then I'll leave first..." After talking to his wife, Su Jianmin touched his daughter's head, "Jinbao, if you want to play in the future, tell your father or mother that you can't sneak away with your brother anymore.
.”
"Well, Jinbao knows."
Su Jianmin bent down and kissed Jin Bao's cheek.
"My daughter is so good!" His voice was filled with love and he kissed her forehead again.
After leaving reluctantly, he thought that he had spent too little time with Jinbao. After a few days when he had more free time, he would take Jinbao to fly a kite while the wind was strong in autumn...
Not long after, Su Nanbing also came home and scolded Xiaosi just like his father.
Su Wennian didn't go home until almost evening.
"Third brother," Jin Bao rushed to him, "I'm sorry..."
The little girl looked apologetic and said, "It's all Jin Bao's fault that the third brother has been looking for us for so long."
Su Wenian didn't look angry at all. He picked up little Jinbao and gently pinched the tip of her nose. "No need to apologize. Just be fine, Jinbao. Fourth brother is young after all. Next time Jinbao will be fine."
Bao wants to go out and play, so he’s looking for me and my second brother, do you know?"
Su Xiaosi pursed his lips, with dissatisfaction written all over his face, "Third brother, I'm only three years younger than you, why can Jinbao only go out with you and second brother?"
"You are still in elementary school, and I am already in junior high school. Those who go to elementary school are still kids."
Bai Lu listened to the conversation of several children and said with a smile: "You are all children. Jinbao must tell his mother if he wants to go out to play."
After saying that, she found that Bai Mei had not returned home, and looked at Lao San doubtfully, "Wennian, where is your cousin?"
"She hasn't come back yet?" Su Wennian frowned, "I'm not with her."
Su Nanbing said disgustedly: "It's best if she doesn't come back. Mom, seriously, let's just leave her alone."
Hearing them mention Bai Mei, Su Xiaowu couldn't help but wink at his fourth brother, "Do you want to talk about money?"
"Don't talk about it yet, Jinbao said, wait till night, she will tell her parents..."
Before Xiaosi finished speaking, his second brother turned to him and said in a puzzled tone: "Xiaosi, what are you and fifth brother whispering about? You don't want to secretly take Jinbao to play again, do you?
"
"No...you don't know how fierce my father was before. He raised his hand to spank me. If Jinbao hadn't stopped him, my butt would have been smashed. I didn't dare to secretly take Jinbao to play again."
Son."
Seeing him covering his butt with a frightened look on his face, everyone laughed.
After laughing for a while, Su Nanbing suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, Xiaosi, where did you and Xiaowu take Jinbao to play? I searched nearby for a long time and couldn't find you."
"ah?"
Su Xiaosi looked at Jinbao for help.
Xiao Jinbao said: "Actually, we are not going to play, we want to go find our aunt..."
After pausing for a second, she deliberately added, "It's a pity that I couldn't find it after looking around."
"What?" Everyone was surprised, "Looking for aunt?"
"Well, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother are all crowded into such a small room. It's too uncomfortable. There is only one desk. The fourth brother has no place to even do his homework. He can only lie on the bed and do it. It's so uncomfortable.
Are you uncomfortable?"
Having said this, Jinbao looked at her mother, "Mom, I want to find my aunt and send my cousin back to her mother."
"I also want to send her away," Su Xiaowu immediately agreed. "She always comes to see Third Brother. She even gave her some water last night. She was chattering to death by herself. Fourth Brother and I were reading a little book together.
I can’t even stand it…”
"We all find it very inconvenient for her to live in our house."
Even Su Wennian couldn't help but said: "Mom, I don't want to live with her anymore."
He felt that Bai Mei was too strange, insisting that she wanted to be his sister, and also said that he mentioned Jin Bao to make her angry...
Thinking of Bai Mei's tone and eyes at that time, Su Wennian felt that it was too dangerous to leave her with Jin Bao.
Bai Lu looked at the earnest expressions of the children and felt wronged by them.
Jianmin worked in the factory for more than ten years before she finally moved into a new home. As a result, her children were just able to live in two rooms, and now they have to live in one room. She felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
"Mom," Jinbao said, "my cousin used to live in such a big house, and her family never thought about us. Now that her family is poor, why can she come to our house and live in one room? Does our family owe her anything?
?"
Her childlike voice was sweet and glutinous, but every word she said was on everyone's mind.
"That's right! What Jin Bao said is so right," Su Nanbing clenched his fists, "Our family doesn't owe the Bai family anything, so why does it make us so uncomfortable and aggrieved because of that Bai Mei?"
Bai Lu was originally choosing vegetables, but now she slowly put down the vegetable leaves in her hand, "My mother didn't handle this matter well. I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and brought her home, eh..."
"Mom," Su Xiaosi said, "let's drive her out!"
"I agree!" Su Xiaowu immediately raised his hand, raising it high, "Drive away the annoying cousin!"
The door was not closed and ajar. Bai Mei was about to push the door open when she heard Jin Bao's voice. What she didn't expect was that not only Jin Bao, but also all of them wanted to drive her away, even brother Wen Nian.
"I know you have been wronged..."
Sighing, Bai Lu said: "When I find Xu Fengjiao, I will send Bai Mei away immediately."
"Actually, aunt..." Su Xiaowu was about to say that aunt didn't go back to her hometown at all, she was just lying in her own home.
As soon as he uttered a few words, Xiao Jinbao said anxiously, "Mom, I'm hungry!"
"Jin Bao is hungry? Mom is going to cook right away." Bai Lu put away the vegetable basin.
Seeing her mother walking into the kitchen, Jinbao took her fifth brother's hand and said softly, "Shh!"
Before Su Xiaowu could react, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Bai Mei walked in from the outside, pursed her lips, "Don't worry, once I find my mother, I will leave immediately, and I won't stay here to hinder your eyes!"
The corners of Jinbao's lips rose, as she was waiting for these words.
"Cousin, you said this yourself, you can't go back on it!"
Bai Mei got angry when she saw Jin Bao and said angrily: "Why should I go back on my word? Do you think I like living in your shabby house? Do you know how big my house is? One toilet in my house is bigger than all your rooms combined.
