107 Chapter 106, Beaten
Listening to the whispers around her, Liang Hui Mei said half-jokingly, “Alright, alright. How can she not feel sorry for her own child? Are you guys jealous of her daughter’s intelligence and ability?”
Only then did everyone remember that Liang Hui Mei and Li Xu were the best friends in the market. They quickly shut their mouths and did not say anything.
Ji Yuanyuan naturally did not know about this. When she returned with the bones, Li Xu was not up yet.
She went to the kitchen and filled the iron pot with water. She turned on the gas to boil the water.
Probably because the gas switch was a little loud, Li Xu came out in a short while.
When she came out, she saw her daughter standing on a stool by the side of the kitchen sink washing something. She did not know she wash. The stove beside her was still on fire.
Li Xu was shocked. She quickly went forward and carried Ji Yuanyuan down from the kitchen sink, “My little ancestor, what are you doing? Do you know how dangerous gas is?”
She stuck her head out to take a look. Only then did she know that her daughter was washing the meat and bones.
She paused for a moment and realized that something was wrong.
The meat and bones looked very fresh. One look and she knew that it was freshly bought.
“You went out to buy it yourself?” Li Xu squatted down and asked Ji Yuanyuan nervously.
Her voice was trembling!
Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously pulled out a fawning smile, “That’s right, I...”
However, before Ji Yuanyuan could finish his sentence, Li Xu slapped her butt.
This slap stunned Ji Yuanyuan for a few seconds. Li Xu had used a lot of strength. Her butt was burning in pain, and tears were glistening in Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes.
Li Xu felt a little heartache when she saw her tears, but she still hardened her heart and said, “Don’t cry, do you know what you did wrong?”
Ji Yuanyuan knew that hitting her daughter’s body hurt her mother’s heart.
She endured it and did not cry out. She knew that once she cried, Li Xu would regret it every time she thought about what happened today.
“Mom, I know I’m wrong!” Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and tugged at the corner of Li Xu’s clothes. In a sobbing voice, she said, “I won’t go out by myself anymore, I won’t touch the gas anymore. Don’t be angry anymore...”
Their voices were a little loud and woke Ji Zixuan up.
Ji Zi’ang was still sleeping. He was sprawled on his back and was not affected at all.
Ji Zixuan tiptoed out of bed and opened the door.
Li Xu was squatting on the ground, her hands clutching Ji Yuanyuan’s arms, she was trembling all over, “Do you know how many bad people are out there? If something happens to you, what will happen to Mom? You’re so young, why are you making such a big decision?”
She went out to buy meat and even tried to make her own soup!
Ji Yuanyuan also knew that she had made a mistake today.
She felt that everyone in the vicinity was familiar with her. In addition, her soul was an adult, so she would not be easily deceived. That was why she went out in a swagger.
However, she forgot that she was only a six or seven-year-old little girl now. If she really met a human trafficker, she would not be able to escape.
“Mom, I really know my mistake. Don’t be angry anymore!” Ji Yuanyuan raised his hand and caressed Li Xu’s face. “No matter where I go in the future, I will tell you first, I definitely won’t go alone.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s words finally made Li Xu’s expression look a little better.
“And the gas, I won’t touch it either!”
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan had admitted her mistake in a good manner, Li Xu’s mood gradually calmed down.
At the same time, seeing that both mother and daughter had calmed down, Ji Zixuan quietly returned to the bedroom.
He thought, whether it’s mother or sister, they probably don’t want anyone else to see this, right?
Li Xu stood up and deftly washed the meat and bones. The water in the pot was also boiling. After boiling the meat and bones, she transferred them to the clay pot.
After doing all this, Li Xu sat down on the stool and beckoned to Ji Yuanyuan, who had been watching from the side, “Come here!”
Ji Yuanyuan had been watching from the side and did not dare to make a sound. She was afraid that she might say something wrong and anger Li Xu again.
Even when she saw Li Xu mistakenly putting sugar into the pot like salt, she did not dare to remind her.
Now that she heard Li Xu call out to her, she hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Li Xu.
Li Xu pulled Ji Yuanyuan over and pressed her down on her legs before pulling down her pants.
Ji Yuanyuan was shocked. Was she still angry? Was she going to hit her twice to vent her anger?
Forget it, forget it. If she could really vent her anger, she would just hit her twice.
She closed her eyes with all her might and waited. However, the anticipated pain did not come. Instead, she received Li Xu’s gentle touch.
“Does it hurt?” Li Xu asked in a low voice.
There was a red palm print on her buttocks. It must have hurt.
However, Ji Yuanyuan shook his head, “It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt at all, Mom!”
Seeing her daughter being so sensible, Li Xu felt even more guilty.
If she had known this would happen, she would have been gentler just now.
Was it her own child, or was it her own heart that ached after the beating?
Li Xu found some safflower oil and smeared it on Ji Yuanyuan’s buttocks. Only then did she relax.
On the stove, the pot was already boiling, and steam was bubbling from it.
The fragrance of the bone soup was already coming out.
She raised her head and looked at her watch. It was only a few minutes past seven.
Li Xu simply went to the kitchen to cook.
...
After a simple serving of noodles, Li Xu pulled the two brothers out from under the covers.
Knowing that Ji Zi’ang was probably unreliable, Li Xu instructed Ji Zixuan, “Keep an eye on your siblings. Don’t touch the gas and the clay pot. I’ll come back later.”
Ji Zixuan replied seriously, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll keep an eye on them.”
After dinner, Li Xu hurried to the store.
Ji Yuanyuan sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the clay pot in the kitchen.
If she had to do this every morning, it would be too tiring.
If only there was a refrigerator at home...
That’s not right? Ji Yuanyuan suddenly thought of something.
Vegetables and fruits would not go bad if they were placed in the space. What about meat?
If it would not go bad, then her space would be a natural large refrigerator.
Then she could buy a lot of meat at once and take a little out every day. This way, she would not have to go out to buy meat every day, saving her from going outside.
...
No, she did not even need to bring it out. It would be best if she could get a set of cookware and place it in the space to stew soup.
Time passed quickly in the space, and Li Xu’s time would not be wasted.
With this thought in mind, Ji Yuanyuan ran into the kitchen. She wanted to fish out a piece of meat from the pot and place it in the space to test it out to see if it would spoil!
In the end, just as Ji Yuanyuan ran into the kitchen, she heard the sound of running behind her.
Ji Yuanyuan’s arm was quickly grabbed, and a nervous voice sounded behind her, “What are you doing?”
Ji Yuanyuan turned around. It was Ji Zixuan! He was looking at her with vigilance!
