When Mei Mei came down for breakfast, she was surprised to see Jingzhe with a shiny black eye and ruffled hair. He looked like he had been in a fight and obviously, he was the loser.
"A Zhe, what happened!" She exclaimed in horror. "Who beat you up like this?"
Around the table, people snickered.
Madam Feng cleared her throat, warning Jingzhe not to say the wrong thing. Unfortunately, she forgot about the one with the itchiest mouth in the house, her very own granddaughter Jun Mingzhu.
"It was grandma Feng." Mingzhu reported like a parrot being questioned at gun point. "She beat daddy because he wanted to give money this much money." She spread her arms out to prove that the money was so much. "And he said he would run away with me and you, mommy. And he...."
Jingzhe put a soft bun on Mingzhu's mouth. "Dear, at breakfast the mouth should be used for eating."
His actions earned him more snickers.
