Chapter 37: A Conflict Occurs
"Brother is bad, I don't want brother anymore," Yun Sheng said, her voice trembling with tears.

Xu Qingmeng was puzzled. Had Yun Mo made someone cry? That shouldn't be the case.

Just as Xu Qingmeng was about to ask what happened, she saw Yun Mo limping back, looking like he was about to cry, and he looked very pitiful.

Xu Qingmeng swallowed back the questions she wanted to ask. Seeing Yun Mo's aggrieved look, she couldn't help but reach out her other hand.

Yunmo skipped over and hugged her, saying, "Sister-in-law." His voice was filled with grievance.

Yun Sheng immediately objected, "Get away from me, this is my sister-in-law."

Yunmo didn't say anything, but just held Xu Qingmeng's arm tightly, her little face full of stubbornness, and also with a hint of pitifulness.

One is a soft-on-the-outside, black-on-the-inside sesame dumpling, and the other is a small chili pepper. Neither of them gives way, as if they are both victims.

The two of them stopped crying, but Xu Qingmeng cried.

She rubbed her temples and tightened her grip on Yun Sheng's arm. "Sheng Sheng, it's wrong of you to be mean to your brother. Tell your sister-in-law what happened first."

As soon as Xu Qingmeng spoke, Yun Sheng burst into tears again, the tears she had just stopped falling again.

Xu Qingmeng had no choice but to turn to Yun Mo and ask, "Yun Mo, tell me, what happened?"

Yunmo blinked his big eyes, then lowered his head sadly.
"It was my fault. I didn't give the jujube paste pastry to my sister, which made her cry. Sister-in-law, please hit me."

Xu Qingmeng was stunned. "Yun Sheng cried over a jujube paste pastry and even scolded her brother because of it?"

"No, that's not how it is." Rongrong rushed in. "Auntie, it's not like that. It's because Erlaizi gave Sister Yunsheng a piece of jujube paste pastry, and Brother Mo threw it on the ground. Brother Mo also scolded Sister Sheng, calling her a fool, and Sister Sheng cried."

Xu Qingmeng raised her eyebrows and then looked at Yun Mo.

Yunmo looked around, glancing here and there, at the sky and the earth, but dared not look at Xu Qingmeng.

Rongrong continued, "Later we tried to comfort Sister Yunsheng, but she wouldn't listen. Then she pushed Brother Mo down and kicked him."

Xu Qingmeng frowned, then turned to Yun Mo and asked, "Did you fall? Does it hurt? Let your sister-in-law take a look."

Yunmo pulled up his pants a little shyly and said, "Sister-in-law, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Seeing his shyness, Xu Qingmeng said, "Alright, I won't look anymore. I'll have your older brother take a look later. Now you can tell me why you threw away the jujube paste pastry and scolded your sister."

Yunmo pursed her lips, then glanced cautiously at Yun Sheng, who was eavesdropping, and whispered,
“Sister-in-law, she’s just stupid… That scoundrel is no good person at all. We can’t accept anything he gives us. He’s definitely up to no good and wants to deceive my sister.”

As Yunmo spoke, his voice gradually grew louder.

"Why don't we just talk things out with our sister? Why do you have to insult her? And if you call her an idiot, then you're the idiot's brother. Does that sound nice?"

Before Yunmo could react, Rongrong laughed, "Haha, Brother Mo is a fool too."

Upon hearing this, Yunmo's face immediately fell, and she looked at Xu Qingmeng with a wronged expression, "Sister-in-law, I'm not stupid."

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Xu Qingmeng's heart softened, and she patted his head. "Look, you also think 'idiot' sounds bad, so if you scold your sister, won't she be sad too?"

Yunmo lowered his head, scratched his head, and seemed to agree.

Xu Qingmeng hugged Yun Sheng again, showing her little face, "Yun Sheng, look at your sister-in-law."

"Let me tell you, there are kidnappers in this world who specialize in luring children. They give children delicious food and drinks, and if you get tricked by them, you can never go home again. Yun Sheng, do you want to go home?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng immediately hugged Xu Qingmeng tightly, her little face filled with terror.
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to leave home. I don't want to lose sight of you, Mother, and my eldest brother. I don't want to be kidnapped."

Seeing Yun Sheng's terrified expression, Xu Qingmeng gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, her voice very gentle.

"So, from now on, you can't take things from strangers. If you want to eat something, tell your sister-in-law or your mother. Never eat other people's food, understand?"

Yun Sheng was already terrified by Xu Qingmeng's words. Not to mention her, even Rongrong and Yun Mo next to her couldn't help but tremble subconsciously.

Yun Sheng clutched Xu Qingmeng's clothes tightly, sobbing softly, "Sister-in-law, I remember, I will never take anything from others again."

Xu Qingmeng gently patted her back and kissed her to comfort her, "Sheng Sheng is such a good girl. Also, we are girls, graceful ladies, so you can't hit people next time, okay?"

Yun Sheng secretly glanced at Yun Mo, "But what if he bullies me?"

Xu Qingmeng thought for a moment, "If your brother bullies you, come back and tell your sister-in-law that we won't give him any good food or meals, okay?"

In Yun Sheng's opinion, not eating was a much harsher punishment than being beaten, and Yun Sheng immediately nodded.
"Then you can't bully me anymore, or I won't give you any food." Yun Sheng looked at Yun Mo triumphantly, and then added, "And you're not allowed to scold me either."

Upon hearing this, Yunmo pouted and muttered, "I know."

Xu Qingmeng, seeing that the matter was almost resolved, said to Yunmo,
"Shouldn't the brother apologize to his sister for swearing?"

"sorry."

"Sheng Sheng should apologize to her brother too. We shouldn't have kicked him, right?"

Yun Sheng looked at Yun Mo, still a little angry, but said softly, "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed and kicked you."

The two children had barely reconciled, and the matter was considered closed. Xu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Yun Sheng, Yun Mo, and Rong Rong, the three little ones, huddled together, whispering and discussing something.
Xu Qingmeng looked at them, a smile appearing on her lips. The feelings between children are so pure. They were just awkward one moment, and now they are inseparable.

Given the accident caused by the two children over a piece of jujube paste pastry, and considering that she wouldn't need to make any braised dishes for the afternoon, and since it wasn't difficult to make and she had nothing better to do, she got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to make some.

The two little ones and Rongrong were incredibly excited. They still remembered the first time Xu Qingmeng made mung bean cakes, and the sweet potato pancakes she made yesterday—they were so delicious!

Before going to the kitchen, Xu Qingmeng made sure to ask Yun Mo to check on Yun Yi, since Yun Sheng was a bit rough and pushing and kicking. She warned that if something happened to the child, they couldn't be careless.

Yunmo obediently went this time, while Yun Sheng felt a little embarrassed and went with Yunmo.
