Qin Liuxi's tone wasn't particularly harsh, but her presence made both Qin Mingchun and Qin Mingqi tense up.
"Big sister, I can endure this hardship," Qin Mingchun was the first to speak up. "I've grown up, I can handle my own matters."
Even if he couldn't, he had to say he could, otherwise, he would be beating up, wouldn't he? Compared to a beating, what's washing clothes and tidying up?
Nothing at all.
What could Qin Mingqi say? If his younger brother by several years, Qin Mingchun, had already made a stance, dare he say he couldn't?
"I can too."
Only then did Qin Liuxi look towards Mrs. Xie: "Aunty, see? Our family's boys can endure hardship. That's right too, their elder brother is suffering even greater hardships than they are; what is there that they can't eat?"
As she spoke, she gave them both a dire look.
The two felt somewhat helpless and lowered their heads.
