Without waiting for her to finish, Liu Guixia smiled and said, “I have more at home. Just now, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan made it themselves. They made a lot. You can give it to your child. Ah?”
“Alright then, thank you.”
“What’s there to thank me for?”
Liu Guixia came back from giving the candy and let Xue Dafu and the others eat. Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu couldn’t bear to eat it, wanting to leave the remaining candies for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.
Xiaobao and the others had a small bowl, but how much did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan have?
Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan were also reluctant to eat them and had already silently put them back.
It was Xue Sifu and Xue Erfu who laughed, “Aren’t we going to make more tomorrow? Don’t we have a lot right now? Father, you should try it too. Look, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue haven’t eaten it either. They’re all looking at us.”
Xue Dafu and the others took a look and realized that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were only holding onto the caramels in their hands, not eating them. They were indeed looking at them.
“Alright, alright, alright. Let’s try it too.” Xue Dafu and the others took a piece each and started eating. They were all very happy. Their two precious children were indeed different. They knew how to care for their elders.
“This thing is really delicious.”
“It’s really sweet.”
“The powder on this can also be eaten.”
“That’s right.”
“I didn’t expect that we would still be able to eat candy at our age.”
Jiang Yue saw that they were all very happy, so she also started to eat it as well. The caramel had not completely cooled down and was still a little soft, but the taste was just the same.
Xue Yan also started to eat.
After Xue Xiaobao, Xue Dabao, and Xue Gouzi had finished eating the small pieces of candy in their hands, Liu Guixia gave each of them a small bowl.
Xue Xiaobao looked at the small bowl in his brother’s hand, then looked at the small bowl in his own hands. He blinked. Even though he was young, he still realized that something was wrong. “Isn’t that too much?”
Liu Guixia laughed. “No, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan made this for you. Take it, take it all!”
“Oh, oh.” Xue Xiaobao nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. He didn’t know what else to ask, so he happily took a piece of candy from his bowl and put it in his mouth.
It was so sweet that his eyes curved into slits.
Xue Xiaobao and Xue Dabao happily took their small bowls of caramels back home, but Xue Gouzi didn’t return home.
After struggling for a long time, Xue Gouzi finally mustered his courage and raised his head, asking in a low voice, “Can… Can your family not tell anyone about Xue Yan and Jiang Yue giving me candy?”
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he lowered his head again and continued in an even softer voice, “My mother and brother will beat me and won’t give me anything to eat. Although my father has never beaten me, he will at least give me some food. But when my mother and brother are bad to me, my father… My father won’t care…”
At this point, he lowered his head and started to wipe his tears. “If I bring all this back, my mother and brother would definitely snatch them away and not give me a single one…”
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchanged a look.
They had originally planned to give Xue Gouzi a few words of advice so that Xue Gouzi would not be bullied when he returned home. That way, he can keep the candy that doesn’t belong to Zhang Meili and Xue Zhuzi. Now, Xue Gouzi had his own intention expressed. Although he was weak, he was not really that st*pid. Since Xue Gouzi said this, he must have his own way, and they did not have to meddle.
