Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5394 Little Thief
The woman said a few nonsense words to fool him.

If she continued to fool him, she was worried that her brother would misunderstand her.

That's not good.

Their family is counting on their younger brother to be successful in his studies and bring honor to the family, so that they can also share in the glory.

Is it okay to create a rift for no reason?

……

The woodcutter nodded.

He wiped his hands on himself as he reached the door of the room where his brother was studying.

Then he reached out and knocked on the door.

Then he opened the door and walked in.

……

"There's a thief?!"

The young scholar was surprised to hear what had happened.

He was wondering why his sister-in-law didn't make steamed buns these days...

It turns out there is a reason for this.

……

"Yes."

The woodcutter smiled bitterly and nodded.

"I don't know what's going on..."

"I've set my sights on our steamed buns."

"I went to the village and bought a dog..."

This is an additional expense.

But thieves are no joking matter.

The money that should be spent should always be spent.

"It's of no use at all."

"No."

The woodcutter regretted spending money to buy the dog.

……

"……fine."

Seeing his younger brother frowning, the woodcutter waved to him.

"This thief just stole the steamed buns."

"We'll keep a close eye on it."

"Don't worry about it."

"But you should also pay more attention to yourself."

The woodcutter reminded his brother.

"This thief is only stealing steamed buns now..."

Who knows what he will steal later...

It would be bad if this thief broke into my brother's room and disturbed his studies.

The worst case scenario is that the thief fails to steal something, gets angry, and then hurts someone...

"If you get into any trouble just yell."

"Don't confront them head-on."

"Do as you are told."

"In short, protecting yourself is the most important thing."

……

After giving his younger brother some nagging instructions, the woodcutter left his room.

My younger brother needs to study.

He couldn't disturb his brother for too long.

……

Although the woodcutter told his brother not to worry about it, they would take care of it.

The young scholar was still a little distracted.

……

The next day, thinking of what the woodcutter had told him yesterday, the young scholar went to the kitchen.

……

The woman who turned around upon hearing the voice was surprised.

My younger brother seldom comes to the kitchen.

They also didn't let my brother come to the kitchen.

A gentleman is far away from the kitchen.

My younger brother is a scholar.

The body is stained with the scent of ink.

How can I smell like fireworks?
……

"How did you come?"

The woman wiped her hands.

Want to get young scholars out of the kitchen.

"Come."

"Let's talk outside if you have anything to say."

Don't stay in the kitchen.

……

The young scholar was about to turn around.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the purpose of his trip.

He turned his feet.

Then he looked at the bowl of steamed buns.

.....
The woman followed the young scholar's gaze.

Soon, a look of realization appeared on the woman's face.

"Brother, do you want to eat steamed buns?"

……

"I'm sorry to have made my sister-in-law laugh."

The young scholar was a little embarrassed.

……

The woman smiled.

"What's a family with..."

The woman paused. She was not used to using such a flowery expression. "Is this embarrassing or not?"

……

The woman walked over.

He picked up the bowl of steamed buns and walked over to hand it to the young scholar.

"Take them and eat them."

……

The young scholar was slightly stunned, "Then you and your brother..."

……

The woman smiled.

"He has already brought your brother's share."

"I'll eat it and make it again."

"Can I still wrong myself?"

"Just take care of yourself and eat."...

The young scholar smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

……

"Harmful."

The woman waved her hand.

"Why are you being so polite?"

"But I am your sister-in-law."

"If there's anything else you want to eat, you can tell me."

"Sister-in-law will prepare it for you."

……

"No."

The young scholar shook his head and said, "I will eat whatever my sister-in-law prepares."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

……

The woman's eyes narrowed.

"What's the hard work?"

"Isn't it just cooking a meal?"

"You are the one who worked hard."

“Studying is hard.”

She also has a younger brother.

My family also had high hopes for me.

Thinking that my younger brother will have a bright future.

Unfortunately, my younger brother is not good at studying.

I fall asleep as soon as I read.

He is naughty and active by nature.

I simply can't sit still and study patiently.

The few thoughts I had were all about how to sneak out and play...

I did a terrible job on the homework assigned by the teacher.

Even though I was beaten many times by my husband.

My palms are swollen.

Still he refuses to change despite repeated admonitions.

She completely forgot that she cried at the top of her lungs and begged for mercy when she was beaten.

In the end, my younger brother naturally did not make any progress in his studies.

My parents spent a lot of money in vain.

In the end, not to mention math, my brother couldn't even write basic characters crookedly, like a dog paddling.

……

Compared with her own brother, her husband's brother is much more hardworking and diligent.

And respect for her too.

She naturally hopes that her younger brother can get what he wants.

Let their whole family benefit from it.

……

The young scholar took a bowl of steamed buns and returned to his study.

……

The steamed buns he had been longing for for days were right next to him, and the young scholar decided to finish reading the book before eating.

……

Time passes silently.

The only sound in the study was the turning of pages.

……

The young scholar closed the book he had finished reading.

My mind is still immersed in the contents of the book.

Until the rumbling in his stomach woke him up.

He held his stomach.

He is hungry.

He immediately looked to the side.

He can eat steamed buns -
The young scholar was stunned.

There were originally more than a dozen steamed buns filling the big bowl, but now there are only two left.

But what surprised him most was not the disappearing steamed buns.

because……

He saw the little thief who stole the steamed buns...

It was a little black creature whose shape was unknown.

It is stuffing a steamed bun that is bigger than its body into its mouth.

……

The young scholar's eyes widened.

He wanted to see clearly what this pitch-black thing was.
He thought it was a mouse at first.

Startled.

But if you take a closer look, you can see that this is definitely not a mouse.

It doesn't have the long, thin tail of a mouse.

……

The young scholar was a little annoyed.

He was too absorbed in reading.

Time passes unconsciously.

It was dim outside.

The light in the room became even dimmer.

He didn't notice it when he was reading.

There was no time to light the oil lamp yet.

This little guy is completely black...

Almost blending into the background behind it.

……

The young scholar held his breath unconsciously.

Don't dare to move.

Afraid of scaring the little guy away.

……

For a moment, the scholar was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

When he looked up and saw the other party's claw reaching for the last steamed bun, his heart skipped a beat.

Moving faster than the brain...

He quickly reached out and grabbed the last steamed bun.

His steamed bun.

There is only one left...

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he wouldn't have even had this one.
