Ch.25 Are You Trying to Remarry? (1)

After they had all left, Aunty Wang sat down to help Xiao Yu exercise, she then asked as she helped, “So is today my last day of work?”

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, “Don’t mind us, follow me there first. I’ll still need you before my body fully recovers.” Xiao Yu smiled at Aunty Wang, then looked outside with a blank expression as she let Aunty Wang stretch her body.

404! Your traps are too much! Teacher Yi is already a pretty tough challenge. How should she remove this flourishing white lotus?

Piano! When will I even be able to move? What if I’m not talented? Um~

Xiao Yu had so much to worry about, she’ll settle in Ji’s house first!

The next day, Ji Yu pulled Ji Xuan along to the ward happily. Ji Yu looked at Xiao Yu and said, “Mom, Aunt Ban is helping you to settle your discharge procedures.”

Xiao Yu nodded and asked, “Is Miss Ban married?”

Ji Yu shook his head and said, “No!”

Xiao Yu said: “If she’s not married, you should address her as Sister Ban, don’t call her Aunt Ban.”

Ji Yu frowned: “She’s almost 30 years old, Teacher Yi said that a person will be an aunt after she’s over 20 years old. Hmph, I don’t want to lie!”

Xiao Yu nodded solemnly, and said, “Then can you not lie forever?” If you see someone over the age of 20 and you address them as an aunt? Even if they’re not married yet! You’ll be referred to as the annoying child.

Ji Yu answered proudly: “Of course I can.” She turned around and asked Xiao Ruoguang: “Can you?”

Xiao Ruoguang answered honestly: “I can’t do it! I’ve already lied.”

Ji Yu pointed at Xiao Ruoguang’s nose and said to Ji Xuan: “Dad, he’s no longer a good boy. Teacher Yi said that good kids don’t lie.”

Xiao Yu went on and said, “Xiaoguang drank the soup that Uncle Sun stewed for him yesterday, he then lied to Uncle Sun and said that the soup was delicious.”

Ji Yu said: “It’s wrong to lie.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, “Yes! But, Uncle Sun was very grateful towards Xiaoguang. That is because if Xiaoguang directly said that his soup wasn’t good, then Uncle Sun would definitely feel very sad. Uncle Sun knew that his soup wasn’t good, but he was still very grateful to Xiao Guang for caring about his feelings and as so his feelings weren’t hurt.”

Ji Yu’s eyes widened: “You can care about someone else’s feelings by lying?”

Sun Hao, on one side, looked at Xiao Yu speechlessly, Xiao Yu didn’t care, and continued: “Yes, that’s why in this world, there’s a saying that goes, it’s bad for children to lie, but white lies will make them a better child.”

It was the first time Ji Yu had heard something like this, she said in shock: “Then……what is a white lie?”

Xiao Yu smiled as she said, “Xiaoguang didn’t want Uncle Sun to feel sad, so he told Uncle Sun that his soup was delicious. To make Miss Ban happy, you should address her as Sister Ban.”

Ji Yu: “Okay!” Ji Yu compromised: “I get it now, from now on, I’ll address those that aren’t married as sisters. By the way, how did Uncle Sun realise that his soup wasn’t good?”

Xiao Yu flashed a kind smile and said: “I told him that his soup tasted really awful.”

Ji Xuan: “……”

Ji Yu: “……”

Ji Xuan coughed and changed the subject by asking, “Do you need help in packing?”

Xiao Yu turned around and glanced at him, “Can’t you look for yourself? Do you think I’m able to help you?”

Ji Xuan: “……Aunt Wang, please help to pack. Xiao Yu said that she’ll bring you along. My house is quite far away, I’ll pay you more from now on. So before Xiao Yu recovers, I’ll leave her under your care.”
