Chapter 816: Chapter 816: Don’t Take Them Seriously
Unexpectedly, they didn’t cry or fuss; they stopped right by ng Wanzhi’s bed.
ng Wanzhi was prepared for them to throw a tantrum, and her hands were even already covering her ears.
But when she opened her eyes, she saw the two little ones staring at her with big, grape-like eyes, not only without crying, but even smiling cheekily.
ng Wanzhi was so surprised she let her hands down.
Jiang Bufan tilted his head at her.
“Mom, why are you covering your ears? Are your ears uncomfortable? Do you need to call a doctor?”
Jiang Buchen looked worried, “Mom, how’s your health? Is it getting better?”
ng Wanzhi was so shocked she couldn’t speak.
When did these little troublemakers turn into caring little sweethearts?
Could it be that she missed them so much she started dreaming?
Then, Jiang Buchen even pulled out a small bouquet from behind him and placed it by her bed.
“Mom, this is what my brother and I bought for you on the way here. We hope you get better soon.”
ng Wanzhi was incredibly moved.
This was the first ti these two brothers had ever given her sothing!
The sun really must rise from the west.
She quickly pulled the two little ones into her embrace.
“Mom’s fine; I just missed you two. Seeing you safe and sound makes happy.”
Jiang Buchen, like a little adult, patted her back with his chubby little hand.
“Don’t worry, Mom. We’re very good at Grandpa’s house. We even study with the teacher every day, and big sister makes us delicious food. Look, my brother and I have both gained weight.”
“Yes, yes, we’ve gained weight,” Jiang Bufan said as he pinched his cheek to prove it to ng Wanzhi.
ng Wanzhi looked at Jiang Li in astonishnt.
Today, she wore a light gray wool coat, with slightly curly hair draped over her shoulders, looking unusually gentle.
Completely different from the rebellious and headstrong girl she rembered.
Wasn’t the Eldest Miss Jiang most averse to children before? Now she is taking care of Bufan and Buchen.
ng Wanzhi was full of doubts, but seeing Bufan and Buchen being well taken care of, she didn’t continue asking.
“Thank you, sister-in-law and Jiang Li, for taking care of them these days.”
“It’s no trouble,” Lin Manru said with a smile as she placed down so supplents. “Bufan and Buchen are so adorable. When Jiang Yan was their age, he was just as naughty, and I brought him up just fine. You should just rest in the hospital.”
As she spoke, she began organizing the items, finally taking out the soup she had stewed at ho.
“This is made with fish maw; it’s good for your body. I’ll find a nurse to heat it up for you.”
“Okay, thank you, sister-in-law.”
ng Wanzhi remained courteous to Lin Manru, knowing that among the Jiang Family, Lin Manru was one of the few who were decent.
Jiang Mingchuan took the items, “Sister-in-law, I’ll go with you.”
“Alright, then you all stay here.”
Jiang Li saw the two off, and after closing the door, she raised her hand to stop Jiang Bufan, who was attempting to climb onto the bed.
“Third Aunt’s leg is still in a cast, don’t be naughty, co down.”
Jiang Bufan pouted unhappily and said, “I just want to lay with Mom.”
“Your thoughts don’t necessarily represent others’, especially now that Third Aunt is still sick. Shouldn’t you be more considerate of her?”
Jiang Bufan’s head hung down slightly, seemingly very dissatisfied with Jiang Li’s reprimand.
He squeezed his little fists but then glimpsed the indistinct smile at the corner of Jiang Li’s lips.
The smile was exactly like the expression she had when picking up a belt!
Jiang Bufan shuddered fiercely!
ng Wanzhi was about to explain that she was fine, used to being tornted by these two little ones, but in the next mont, Jiang Bufan raised his head to look at her.
“Mom, I’m sorry… I didn’t hurt you just now, did I?”
ng Wanzhi was extrely surprised.
Since when did Bufan learn to apologize?
She touched his head emotionally, “It’s alright, my treasure. I know you just want to lay with mom; once I’m better, you can hug however you want.”
Feeling the warmth of ng Wanzhi’s palm, Jiang Bufan also had a peculiar feeling inside.
In his impression, Mom had never been so gentle to him, nor had she shown such a gratifying smile.
More often than not, he heard her sighs and powerless comfort.
And often at those tis, his rebellious ntality grew stronger, feeling he should stir up more trouble to get more attention.
Especially upon hearing “Our kid is just too naughty” accompanied by a sigh, he felt an imnse sense of achievent.
But now… the joy from being praised for being obedient and sensible felt truly different.
It was like his chest was filled with steaming milk, sweet and happy.
Jiang Buchen intentionally pouted in response, “Mom’s biased, lying with brother and not with .”
ng Wanzhi was both amused and frustrated, “How could I not include you? Buchen is the most obedient, mom loves you the sa.”
Jiang Buchen also happily hugged her.
Imrsed in the bliss of familial happiness, ng Wanzhi didn’t forget to look up at Jiang Li.
She truly seed completely transford.
“I…” ng Wanzhi hesitated before speaking, “I am actually very curious, how did you manage to soothe these two? Most of the ti, I can’t even handle them, yet they seem to listen to you.”
This was also sothing ng Wanzhi found unexpected.
Since Jiang Li arrived, she could clearly sense the difference in the attitude of the two little ones towards her.
Very respectful and polite.
Completely lacking the insolence shown to others.
Jiang Li smiled and said, “Actually, it’s quite simple; don’t see them as little kids. Children are smart, especially at this age; there’s no need to indulge them in everything. You can communicate with them the way adults do.”
To put it simply, don’t take them too seriously.
Many children act upon adult cues, and often engage in mischief to seek attention from adults.
Once they understand the pros and cons, everything gets resolved easily.
A few hints of surprise flashed in ng Wanzhi’s eyes.
“You’re not like before…” she said softly, “To be honest, when I first t you, I didn’t really like you.”
Jiang Li didn’t get angry but instead teased, “I know. I didn’t like the old either, but people can change, right? Just like kids can beco obedient and sensible, I can beco a better .”
Because of this sentence, ng Wanzhi completely dispelled her previous prejudice against Jiang Li.
Soone who can say such sensible things, how bad can they really be?
The people of the Jiang Family… they seem really different now.
