Chapter 144: 144: The second brother’s sneaky move (3)_1
But when the pot lid was lifted, there was nothing.
Not a drop of soup dicine was left.
Glimpsing the neatly washed bowls and chopsticks beside, one, two, three, four, a total of four sets?
There were four people in the family, Second Brother, Yixuan, he, and Dong Dabao!
But he had been by the river and hadn’t eaten, so whose was this extra set of bowl and chopsticks?
Xiao Qingyao!
Grinding his teeth viciously.
His illness had been cured by Xiao Qingyao, and his al was eaten by Xiao Qingyao as well, making his eyes turn red all of a sudden.
......
With a ’bang’, there was a loud noise.
Dong Huiying turned around and saw that the door to the southern room had been forcefully slamd shut by Liang Yuening.
She was utterly baffled. What on earth was the boy doing?
Scratching the back of her head, she continued sorting the herbs.
...
Dong Huiying had been busy all morning when she suddenly noticed that Liang Yixuan looked heavily preoccupied. She asked in confusion, "What’s the matter?"
Yixuan replied helplessly, "Fifth Brother refuses to take his dicine."
"What is he causing a fuss over now?"
After wiping her hands, she frowned and strode towards the southern room. Upon entering, she nearly stepped on Liang Yuening because he stubbornly insisted on sleeping on the floor instead of climbing onto the kang bed.
She moved her foot aside and looked at Liang Yuening, who was facing away from her, hugging a quilt with the sulky deanor of a child.
"Hey, Liang Yuening?"
She nudged his leg with the tip of her foot.
"What do you want!"
Tsk, quite a temper he had.
Liang Yuening sat up irritably and glared at her in annoyance.
"Take your dicine."
"I won’t!"
"You need to take the dicine to recover quickly when you’re ill."
"I said no!"
"Are you going to take it or not?"
"I said I won’t, what’s all the nagging for?"
For a mont, silence.
Dong Huiying looked at him without a word, yet it made him inexplicably uneasy.
He awkwardly turned his head away, his eyes downcast, unable to et her gaze.
Although he wanted to apologize, he was too embarrassed to do so.
Suddenly, Dong Huiying said, "Alright then,"
Hmm?
As he looked at her, puzzled, he saw her grab the dicine bowl and break into a grim smile.
"You’re in your twenties and still think you’re a child; you need to be coaxed to take your dicine?"
She wouldn’t indulge this bad habit of his.
Resolutely, her small hands pried open his mouth and poured the soup dicine down his throat.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough—!!" Liang Yuening choked and coughed violently, trying to push her hand away. But she was surprisingly strong, and he was like a fish on a chopping block, with nothing to do but wait to be slaughtered.
After pouring the dicine, with a ’clunk’, she put down the dicine bowl.
Her brows were fiercely knit, "Rember this, be good next ti and drink it yourself, or I won’t be blad if you choke to death!"
With that, she turned on her heel and left.
Liang Yuening had choked several tis just now and was still coughing while clutching his chest. By the ti he had caught his breath, Dong Huiying had already left.
His face was flushed, and he felt extrely displeased. Looking up, he inadvertently locked eyes with Second Brother on the kang bed.
Seeing the teasing glint and banter in Second Brother’s eyes, even mockingly playful, he didn’t know why, but it made him irrationally enraged.
"Hmph!"
He wiped his mouth and lay back down on the floor, hugging the quilt.
He thought of Dong Huiying’s ferocious manner as she forced him to drink the dicine and thought to himself, what a fierce woman, not gentle at all! In all under heaven, besides our Liang family, probably no one else could put up with her, hmph!
......
At noon, Dong Huiying made a at dish, a vegetarian dish, and a bowl of sleeve-flinging soup.
Yixuan set the bowls and chopsticks and helped the ailing Second Brother to the table.
"Where’s Liang Yuening?"
After the two were seated, Dong Huiying asked.
"Fifth Brother said he wasn’t hungry," Yixuan said, glancing at her expression and trying hard to suppress his laughter.
