Chapter 20 Six-Word Proverb
Wenwen returned to the inner circle of the dolls, where several little ones were eating pastries, their cheeks bulging out, looking incredibly cute.
She grabbed Wenqing and touched her tummy.
"Come, come, let your older sister see if our little Qing'er's tummy is full?"
Wen Qing giggled, "Sister, I'm full, I'm so full."
Wenwen grinned mischievously, "Oh dear, you're full? Then I can skip my dessert."
When Wenqing heard there was still fruit to eat, she was a little worried. "Sister, sister, I can... I can eat some more..."
The other dolls remained silent, but their eyes betrayed their thoughts.
Seeing that everyone was still full of energy, Wenwen figured she could get some better food. After all, some things grow out of necessity for everyone to eat, so why not take advantage of it?
She showed no mercy, her mind already calculating the various fruits she would see during her patrol.
For safety, I packed a small bag of strawberries and gave them to a few kids. These are seedless, so they're absolutely safe.
Tell the little ones to eat and go to bed early.
As for the fruits of the adults' meals, she would take them out indiscriminately, regardless of whether they had pits or not.
She didn't care about categorizing the cherries, lychees, grapes, or oranges; she just kept stuffing them into her pockets. After filling several pockets, she called her fourth brother over.
"Fourth Brother, send a bag to Third Uncle and the others, and a bag to Grandpa and Grandma as well. Keep one for yourself. Remember to bring the bags and fruit peels back to me at the end."
"Fifth Sister, it's not good for me to carry a bag all by myself. I'll go with Third Uncle and the others."
"Okay, you guys have big appetites, just ask me for more if you're not full."
Fourth Brother was overjoyed and readily complied, "Yes, sir!"
Wenwen picked up a bag and placed it with her mother and the others, not forgetting to whisper ingratiatingly, "Mom, you all should eat more! Fruit is good for your complexion, hehehe~~ I have so many more here, Auntie, please eat more~~~"
With both adults and children taken care of, Wenwen returned to her sisters' group; this was the territory she would be conquering next.
She plopped down, and a large bag appeared beside her. The open bag was filled with several kinds of fruit. Wenwen chatted with her sisters by the dim candlelight.
"Sisters, let's eat and chat. Come on, help yourselves."
For a moment, the cell was filled with the aroma of fruit, which diluted the slight musty smell.
Everyone proceeded cautiously, trying their best not to make any noise, and savored the initial, first-grade spiritual fruit produced by the space.
Wenwen never expected that just these few fruits would elevate the Wen family's sense of taste to a whole new level.
People's appetites have become more discerning, and they no longer find ordinary fruits appealing.
This led to the Wen family's collective efforts nearly monopolizing the fruit shops in the exile area.
However, these are later stories.
At this moment, Wenwen watched her sisters eat to their hearts' content, and her gossipy nature couldn't be contained.
She seized the opportunity to bring up the topic: "Elder sister, Grandmother just said that the abbot treated my illness back then, is that right? I don't remember that at all."
As soon as the topic was brought up, the sisters couldn't hold back. One after another, they chimed in, and it felt like eight hundred ducks were tearing and arguing in the air above the prison cell.
“You were unconscious at the time, how could you remember anything about this?”
“Little sister, I pinched you really hard, but you didn’t react at all. My arm was swollen from pinching, and my fingers hurt terribly, but you still didn’t wake up.”
"Second sister, did you pinch me? I thought it was me who hit me and made it swollen."
Upon hearing this, Wenwen thought, "Well, my second sister and Yao Maimai are both ruthless."
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Fine, you two saw me unconscious and not only did you not protect me, but you also cruelly pinched and hit me. You two wait, I'll find a chance to get my revenge sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Yao Maimai hurriedly explained, "That's not how it is, Wenmei, please listen to me."
Wenwen wasn't really in a hurry; she was just trying to create a lively atmosphere and give them a way out. "You two, tell me what you think. I'm listening."
The second sister coughed lightly, "Cough, fifth sister, you were as strong as an ox back then. Grandfather urged you to practice martial arts every day. You had a lot of strength in your hands. I pinched your arm, and my fingers hurt for several days afterward."
Wenwen felt a pang of sadness. "What? Is it my fault for being so stubborn?"
"That's true. The swelling in your arm went down the next day, but my fingers hurt for three days, three whole days."
Wenwen was completely unmoved by her second sister's words.
"Second sister, you'd better practice your skills more, or I guarantee your fingers will hurt for 10 days. Humph!"
The second sister is always flexible and adaptable. "Okay, I'll listen to my sister and try my best."
Wenwen wasn't about to let Yao Maimai off the hook. "Maimai, what about you? What's your excuse? Tell us."
Yao Maimai stared intently at Wenwen, and as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly stuffed a peeled lychee into her mouth, intending to please her with her actions.
"Wen-meimei, isn't it sweet? I knew you liked this the most."
Oh dear, Sister Mai's sycophantic behavior has finally been mastered, much to Wenwen's annoyance, as if she has been conquered by her.
"Sweet, so sweet. Cough cough, you almost fooled me. Tell me, what was your excuse back then?"
"Oh, Wen, we're used to playing around with each other. You always say it doesn't hurt when I hit you. I just hit you a few more times while you were unconscious, hoping to wake you up sooner. My intentions were good."
Wenwen was so angry she laughed. "It's really impressive how thoughtful you are. Your intentions are good, but what was the final result?"
Yao Maimai looked indignant. "The result is that you didn't wake up, and my palms were red and swollen for many days."
"Pfft, hehe~"
Haha~ Haha~
The group of sisters immediately burst into giggles.
Wenwen turned around and hugged her older sister for comfort, "Big sister, you're the best."
Some people were just trying to sabotage her, saying, "Hmph, the eldest sister is really nice!"
Wenwen immediately sat up straight and listened attentively, "Fourth Sister, tell me, what happened to Eldest Sister?"
“During the days you were in a coma, my older sister kept me by your bedside from morning till night to draw pictures.”
"Drawing by my bedside? What are you drawing?"
"Drawing hairstyles, my sister really had a blast. She changed your hairstyle ten or eight times a day according to the drawings, and your hair fell out in clumps. My sister was so busy, she called it making you a sleeping beauty, hahaha, but she would just turn around and pluck out a clump of your hair."
Wenwen's forehead throbbed with pain. What kind of sisters were these? Could she just not have them?
Wenwen turned to look at her older sister's awkward smile, which gave her the impression of a femme fatale.
She could only seek comfort from her third sister, "Third sister, please comfort me, I want to hear something nice."
Third Sister swallowed the cherry in her mouth, thought for a moment, and said, "Now that you're completely healed, you still have a lot of hair, and it'll grow even stronger in the future. Pretty nice, right?"
"Hahaha~"
"Hehehe~"
A burst of laughter from her sisters made Wenwen fully understand her grandmother's words.
Her older sisters could indeed talk for a whole day and night without stopping.
Wenwen looked around at her older sisters and noticed that Suisui was listening to them quietly. This older cousin had a kind of honest and simple quality that made her feel at ease.
She steeled herself, stepped over her sisters, and approached Sui Sui. "Sui Sui, say something. What were you doing while I was unconscious?"
Yao Suisui's round face was as red as an apple, and she smiled with her eyes narrowed. "I didn't do anything, I just slept with my cousin."
The quick-witted and sarcastic fourth sister chimed in, "She really didn't do anything. She came back from the fight and insisted on sleeping in the same bed as you, then stole your blanket and almost kicked you off the bed. She's a terrible sleeper! Hahaha~"
Wenwen was speechless and asked the heavens, but she hugged Sui Sui and said with a forced smile, "Sui, I'll sleep next to you tonight. We don't have blankets here, so we're not afraid of them being stolen, and we don't have beds, so we're not afraid of falling off. But you have to practice your skills hard in the future, because I'm afraid your legs will hurt."
Hahaha~~~
Hehehe~~~
……
The inmates didn't give them any face and all burst into laughter.
Grandfather, listening to their commotion, laughed so hard that he caught a stitch and started coughing.
Grandmother stepped in to take charge: "Alright, it's getting late, everyone hurry up and pack up to rest. Silang, collect the bags and fruit peels, and give them to your fifth sister."
"Oh, Grandma, I'll get ready right away."
The cell gradually quieted down, and soon, the sound of people sleeping could be heard.
In her daze, Wenwen heard a whisper in her ear, "Sister, once when I woke up in the middle of the night, I heard the abbot's words of advice, which were 12 characters long."
Wenwen suddenly perked up. "Hmm? Ah? Oh!"
She turned her head and saw that Sui Sui was sleeping soundly, even snoring.
Is her silly little sister talking in her sleep, or is she just dreaming?
This little girl is quite shrewd; she has great potential!
Wenwen was suddenly wide awake and entered the space with a sense of confusion.
