Shocking! A three-year-old brings his aloof mother to their door.

Tongtong froze for two seconds, then burst into tears.

"Fish! Fish is beyond saving!!"

She cried her heart out, tears mixing with the mud on her face and streaming down, leaving two white streaks.

Mo Yunqi stood beside her, looking at her helplessly, wanting to comfort her but not knowing how to start.

After crying for a while, Tongtong sobbed as she scooped the fish out of the basin and carefully held it in her hands.

"Brother," she looked at Mo Yunqi, her eyes red, "shall we bury it?"

Mo Yunqi nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Two little clay figures, carrying the dead golden carp, walked to the muddy corner of the yard.

Tongtong dug a hole with a small twig, put the fish in, and then covered it with soil.

Mo Yunqi found a small wooden board and stuck it in front of the mound of earth.

The two little ones squatted in front of the small grave mound, their hands clasped together, their little faces full of sorrow.

"Yu Yu," Tong Tong sobbed, "you...you can rest in peace..."

Mo Yunqi added, "Rest in peace..."

Mo Ye stood at the door, watching this scene, and couldn't help but twitch his lips again.

Why does this scene look so familiar?

He remembered.

He did similar things when he was a child.

His pet bird died, and he cried as he dug a hole and put up a small wooden board with the words "Bird's Grave" crookedly written on it.

They really are her biological children.

Just then, He Wanqing changed her clothes and came downstairs.

She walked to the door and immediately saw the two mud monkeys in the yard.

She paused for a moment, then blurted out instinctively:

"Whose kid ran up to our doorstep? How can he be so dirty? Don't his parents care?"

Mo Ye turned to look at her and suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen online: "Your mother will recognize you even if you turn to ashes, but she won't recognize you if you turn black."

He suppressed a laugh and pointed at the two mud monkeys: "Take a closer look."

He Wanqing walked over suspiciously, squinting her eyes to examine it carefully.

She was small, wearing overalls, and had two crooked little pigtails...

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

The more I look at it, the more alarmed I become.

A bad thought suddenly popped into my head.

She quickened her pace and walked over.

Hearing footsteps, Tongtong looked up and saw a small, dirty face facing her, with red eyes and tears still clinging to its eyelashes.

"Mommy!!!" As soon as she saw He Wanqing, she stood up immediately, opened her muddy little hands, and rushed over, "Fish is dead~ Waaaaah...."

He Wanqing looked at the mud ball rushing towards her with its arms outstretched and instinctively took a step back.

"Get away from me!" she blurted out. "I'm not your mother!!!" and then walked away.

Tongtong was stunned.

What did Mom say?

Mom said it wasn't her mother?

She looked at herself covered in mud, then at her mother's clean clothes, her little mouth trembled, and she cried even harder.

"Mommy doesn't recognize Tongtong anymore! Waaaaah..."

She chased after He Wanqing while crying.

He Wanqing looked at the muddy ball chasing after her and felt the ground beneath her feet was burning hot.

She skipped and hopped backward, dodging left and right, as if afraid of getting even a speck of mud on her.

Mo Ye stood to the side, watching this scene, laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

He Wanqing glared at him fiercely and hid behind him.

Tongtong chased after them and saw her mother hiding behind her father, refusing to give her a hug. She was heartbroken.

But she did not give up.

She decided to please her mother.

She turned and ran back to where she had put the bottle, and fished out the eel—the one that looked like a snake and was slippery.

She rolled around in the sand, covering the eel with sand, then grabbed it and ran back to He Wanqing.

"Mom!" she exclaimed, handing over the eel like a precious treasure. "Here, have this! It's delicious!"

He Wanqing looked at the eel wriggling in her hand, and her hair stood on end.

"No, no, no!!!" she cried, backing away repeatedly. "Mommy, no! Take it away!"

Tongtong thought her mother was still angry and refused to accept her gift.

She panicked, grabbed the eel, and chased after He Wanqing, shouting as she ran, "Mommy, hold it! It's really delicious! My brother said so!"

He Wanqing was chased all over the yard, screaming as she ran, "Mo Ye! Control your daughter!"

Mo Ye leaned against the door frame, laughing so hard that tears were almost streaming down his face.

This scene was absolutely spectacular.

Just then, Mo Yunqi silently put down the small basket and walked up to Mo Ye.

"Uncle," he said softly, head down, "I'm going back now."

Mo Ye looked down at him: "Okay, go back and take a shower first. I'll stir-fry some snails for you tonight and invite you over for dinner."

Mo Yunqi didn't leave. After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Uncle...you won't hit Tongtong, will you?"

Mo Ye raised an eyebrow.

Mo Yunqi whispered, "It's all my fault, I didn't watch Tongtong properly..."

Mo Ye gave him a light kick, laughing and scolding, "You're quite loyal. Don't worry, I won't hit her. Go back and take a shower, don't catch a cold."

Mo Yunqi was relieved and ran back to the neighboring yard. A moment later, Liu Ying's voice came from the neighboring yard.

"Good heavens!!! Where have you been running around again, you little brat! Look at your clothes! Look at your face! Did you go rolling around in the mud?!"

Mo Ye smiled and shook his head, continuing to watch the mother and daughter.

In the courtyard, He Wanqing and Tongtong's chase continued.

But the situation has quietly reversed.

At some point, He Wanqing found herself holding a small twig.

When Tongtong saw her mother take out a weapon, she screamed "Waaah!" and ran away with the eel in her hand.

"Mom, I was wrong!!!"

He Wanqing, with her long legs, followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Tongtong ran incredibly fast, her short legs tumbling like two little wheels of fire, turning back as she ran, calling out in a tearful voice:

"Mom, I really made a mistake~ Please don't destroy my nest!!!"

He Wanqing didn't say anything, but chased after them with a tree branch in her hand.

Just as Tongtong was about to be caught and beaten, two people suddenly walked in through the courtyard gate.

Mo Chashan and Jiang Hui are back.

Tongtong's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a savior. She dashed behind her grandparents, and then...

She stuck her little bottom out, facing He Wanqing with a look of grim determination: "Go ahead and kill me~"

He Wanqing: "???"

Mo Ye: "???"

Jiang Hui and Mo Chashan looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened.

Then they saw that their daughter-in-law was holding a small twig, and they immediately understood.

"Wanqing," Jiang Hui quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Tongtong is still young, don't hit her, don't hit her."

Mo Chashan chimed in, "Yes, yes, the child is young and doesn't understand. We can teach him slowly."

He Wanqing looked at the small twig in her hand, then at Tongtong who was hiding behind her grandparents and winking at her, and suddenly realized that she had been tricked by this little girl.

She threw the branch away and glared at Tongtong.

Tongtong peeked half her little head out from behind her grandparents, blinked her big eyes, and let out a "hehehe" laugh...
