Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Heartfelt Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Heartfelt “Big Bull Brother hasn’t come?”
Chuner said this while twisting her little head to look behind her and added curiously, “I thought he was following us! In the past, Big Bull Brother always loved to hover in front of and behind Sister.”
Upon hearing this, Xuexue couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. The old Big Bull had indeed been wholeheartedly devoted to her, with eyes only for her, but the expression on his face just now made it seem as if he had regained his memories, and she didn’t know if he would be as good to her as before.
“Big Bull is such a big fellow; if he’s hungry, he’ll naturally come out to eat. Mother, you don’t need to worry about him.”
Xuexue gracefully sat on the stool by the table, stretched out her delicate hand, picked up a bowl of soup, and slowly drank. To be honest, without having eaten anything all day, she was really hungry, and the soup tasted truly delicious.
“You two girls.”
Madam Xie chided them and then turned and walked out, likely to call Big Bull over for a meal.
“Mother is so good to Big Bull Brother, it makes Chuner jealous,” Chuner said, sipping her soup.
“Isn’t Big Bull Brother your idol? Are you jealous of him?” Xuexue teased Chuner.
“Right, Big Bull Brother is so good to our family, how could I be jealous of him!” Chuner said with a face full of regret.
“It seems our Chuner really knows how to acknowledge and correct her mistakes.”
“Yes, Chuner is very smart.” Chuner nodded to herself, boasting cutely.
Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, “Chuner, do you want to go to Private School?”
“Can I go to Private School? Isn’t Grandma always scolding us as a loss-making merchandise, saying that it’s good enough just to have a mouthful of food and not starve to death? Private School isn’t a place for people as lowly as us.” Chuner’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Xuexue. Grandma’s words were seared into her heart, making them hard to forget.
“She’s talking nonsense.” Xuexue couldn’t help but curse.
What lowly or noble, that damned old hag was just too much, always looking to belittle them and elevate the status of her grandson.
Putting down her chopsticks, Xuexue looked at Chuner seriously, “Chuner, remember this: it doesn’t matter if others look down on us, but we must always respect ourselves. We are not of lowly birth. As long as we are willing to work hard, Mo Hengjian means nothing.”
“Yeah, Sister, what you said is so right.”
“After some time, I plan to send you to Private School. Would you like that?”
“I would, I would, that’s great! I can go to Private School with Xiao Gougou.” Chuner clapped her little hands happily.”
“Oh no, this is bad, Xuexue, Xuexue, Big Bull is gone.”
Just then, Madam Xie stumbled into the main hall, yelling anxiously at Xuexue, who was drinking her soup.
Xuexue’s hand shook, spilling quite a bit of soup from the bowl, and she stood up abruptly, asking hurriedly, “Mother, what did you say?”
“Big Bull is gone.”
“That’s impossible, did you check properly?”
“I searched everywhere, in front of and behind the house, I looked everywhere. He’s been with our family for so long and has never wandered far.” Madam Xie was beside herself with anxiety, wondering where this child could have gone. He hadn’t eaten all day, and she didn’t know if he was hungry.
Xuexue stood up, strode to Big Bull’s room, pushed the door, and entered. The room was tidy and his luggage and clothing were all there, nothing was missing. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps Big Bull had gone to check on the watermelon seedlings in the field.
“Sister, Sister, has Big Bull Brother really left?” Chuner followed behind Xuexue, asking with concern.
