Chapter 27 Angry Mom
"Mom, mom! Grandpa actually talked!!"
Bai Yi shouted loudly downstairs.
Soon, accompanied by the 'thump thump thump' of footsteps coming upstairs, a gentle woman came over, wiping her hands.
"What happened? He actually talked?"
The woman's face was indescribable, neither angry nor happy.
Mu Xitang looked completely baffled at the side.
"Grandpa didn't just talk, he also spoke in English..."
"English?" The woman was astonished.
"Yeah, he said 'Good! Very good!'" Shi Shi added.
The woman: ????
What's going on? Could feeding him medicine have cured the old man's hemiplegia?
The old man felt bitter inside.
The medical miracle in front of him was forced by his filial eldest son, wasn't it?
If he didn't speak up, they would have hit me in the crotch. Could I stay silent?
"Okay, you and Dad go downstairs to eat first, I'll check Grandpa's body."
Jiang Xiao wasn't sure if it was his imagination,
but he felt Grandpa's body shiver a bit, seemingly somewhat fearful of the examination.
Lunch was quite sumptuous, three dishes and a soup.
Stir-fried celery and pork, garlic lettuce, and a big plate of chicken.
This good?
Jiang Xiao initially thought lunch would be bugs, organs, or some other messed-up stuff.
"Daddy, help me serve some rice!"
"I want some too, I want Daddy to help me serve rice!"
"If they all want some, then I want some too."
"I also want Daddy to help me tie my bib!"
"I can't reach the back, Daddy~"
"Hmph! Childish, but since they all want it, I want it too."
The people in the livestream couldn't hold back.
[Is this Kaidan?]
[This is literally my dream girl!]
[Clueless question, how exactly do you produce such cute little girls?]
[You have to get pregnant first before discussing anything else.]
[Clueless question, I'm already in my thirties and still not pregnant, is that normal? I'm male.]
[???]
Jiang Xiao served each of the girls a bowl of rice and tied their bibs.
The four of them sat down and started eating.
The three little girls coquettishly asked Dad to help them pick food while they pleasingly picked food for Dad in return.
Well, saying "picked" might not be quite accurate,
because all three were using a soup spoon to dish up their food.
"Daddy, after dinner, can you tell me a story? I want to hear about Donggan Superman battling the Butt-leak Monster!"
"Emm, no, Daddy, I want you to play dead man with me."
"Pfft, boring. As long as it's with Daddy, I'm up for anything."
The big yellow dog in the yard smelled the food and came in wagging its tail and panting.
"I also had a dog before, named Little White, much cuter than you~"
The big yellow dog's wagging tail froze, then pitifully tucked it in.
"Hahaha, here, have a chicken foot~"
The big yellow dog happily wagged its tail again.
...
The other chosen ones didn't dare to slap Grandpa and Grandma across the face, so the medication process was quite slow.
Right then, the Dragon Country livestream room was flooded with foreigners.
Most of them didn't talk much, just quietly spectating.
'Bang!'
A loud thump came from upstairs, and the woman came down with a dark expression.
Although Jiang Xiao didn't know what had just happened upstairs, her mood clearly wasn't good.
"Not waiting for me to eat? Who told you to start?"
The big yellow dog immediately bristled and cowered under the table, whimpering.
The three little girls instantaneously bowed their heads and put down their spoons, not daring to meet Mom's eyes.
Only Jiang Xiao, carefree as ever, unabashedly continued eating.
"Honey! How could you do this, why didn't you wait for me to eat?"
"Old lady, you talk too much, wasn't it you who told us to come down and eat first? You women always play these games, ah, really can't do anything with you."
The woman: ???
"What does 'auntie' mean? You can call me Sun Wei instead if you don't want to call me wife—don't nickname me!"
Sun Wei intuited that 'auntie' was not a term of endearment...
Jiang Xiao didn't respond, but his droopy eyelids suggested he didn't take Sun Wei's words to heart.
Does this new dad not take me seriously?
Sun Wei's anger couldn't be held back any longer; she put her hands on her hips and her voice shot up several decibels as she yelled at Jiang Xiao,
"You dare to eat! I've been slaving away all day, taking care of our child and doing household chores and cooking! Do you think it's easy for me? What are you staring at? Go help me serve the rice!"
Jiang Xiao, startled by her loud voice, jumped and dropped his chopsticks, immediately posing with one foot on a chair and making a laser-shooting gesture.
"Not good! The three-layer-bellied furious old witch has appeared!"
"Everyone, be careful; I'll protect you—Dynamic Light Wave, zz-zz-zz..."
Zz-zz-zz???
And he called me a three-layer-bellied old witch?!
Sun Wei nearly laughed in frustration.
She hadn't felt this raging in a long while.
Which dad usually doesn't get scared of her like a submissive grandchild?
Seeing Sun Wei quiet down, Jiang Xiao struck a Superman pose.
"Wow~~~~ha~ha~ha..."
Dig that...
This move stunned everyone inside and outside the Dragon Country live stream,
"[Seriously, say he didn't op op, he uses his underpants as a vest, say he's not dumb, he wears his vest as underpants!]"
"[I'm totally numb...]"
"[I cringed so hard I mapped out a three-bedroom apartment.]"
"[Fast forward three hundred years, Jiang Xiao's move would still be absolutely explosive!]"
No way, is this new dad so daring?
The big yellow dog trembled like a sieve.
Three little girls quietly stood up, moved aside, and watched their toes, not daring to make a move.
Shi Shi moved her lips and mustered up the courage to speak,
"Mom, dad didn't mean it, please..."
"Shut up!"
Sun Wei's voice now rough and gritty.
"Big-butted old granny, three-layer-fat-bellied auntie, wrinkled old witch is mad..."
Jiang Xiao's brutally candid words made Sun Wei's body quake.
Those words were too much, even for a normal woman, let alone for the bizarre!
Black mist emanated from Sun Wei's body, and some blood-red lines started to appear on her face.
"Mom, please, forgive dad just this once."
Shi Shi pleaded again.
Everyone was surprised that the usually aloof Shi Shi was actually protecting Jiang Xiao the most.
"Yeah, mom, I, I really like this dad..."
"Mom, maybe don't eat dad for now, okay? I, I can't bear it..."
Seeing her daughters fancy this dad so much, Sun Wei forcefully suppressed her resentment.
"Fine...fine...if anyone else pleads for him next time, I'll eat them too!"
The three little girls bowed their heads, indicating they wouldn't dare next time.
"Eat!"
Sun Wei grumpily served herself a bowl of rice.
'Bang!'
The bowl filled with rice slammed onto the table.
"Everyone eat! I dare you not to eat!"
The three little girls promptly took their seats, no longer giggling and playing with Jiang Xiao as before, sitting stiff as if they were in prison.
Witnessing the gloomy atmosphere, Jiang Xiao sighed helplessly.
"Huh, you women really are so fickle."
He carelessly wolfed down a few bites and then dropped his chopsticks,
"Okay, you've had enough!"
Sun Wei frowned, "It's you who've had enough!"
If it weren't for considering her daughters' liking for this new dad, she would have twisted this idiot's neck in no time!
Jiang Xiao's face turned red, sheepishly scratching his head as he responded,
"Pretty much, pretty much, hehehe..."
Sun Wei: Why is your face as red as a teapot bubble? I wasn't complimenting you, was I?
"[It seems the family isn't doing too well financially...]"
"[Not doing well? Three different dishes and two of them meat; I couldn't bear to eat like that.]"
"[Three dishes, tsk tsk tsk...]"
"[You all still in the mood to chat? If I'm not mistaken, Sun Wei likes to eat dad, right?]"
"[...]"
"[With Kaidan being so dangerous, can't everyone just enjoy a normal chat?]"
