CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 355: ABOUT THE MATTER OF CHILDREN WETTING THE BED (1)_2

"What do you know? This shows status! Today is Guoguo’s birthday, she needs to be dressed beautifully. Usually, a simple hairstyle is fine, but not today." The Great Princess looked at her creation, handed a mirror to Guoguo, "Does it look good? Guoguo?"

Li Yuzhu clearly saw Guoguo pout her lips, then nod and smile, "Looks good."

That pout seemed like disdain?

After Guoguo was dressed up, Li Yuzhu took her to see Chai Eying.

As they passed by Li Xing’an and his brother’s room, she heard Li Lixing laughing loudly, "Hahaha, someone wet the bed! Oh yes, airing the quilt, washing the sheets! Lalala, lalala—"

"Shut up, don’t laugh! Boo-hoo, boo-hoo—" Then came the wailing cries of Li Jing.

"Crying." Guoguo pointed in the direction of the crying.

"Let’s go take a look."

Li Yuzhu carried Guoguo to the front of Li Xing’an’s room.

She saw Li Xing’an and the Second Young Master Li Xingsheng carrying a bed board out of the room.

There was a noticeable wet stain on one of the bed boards.

Li Lixing tossed a bedsheet onto the ground in the yard and then ran off with a look of disdain.

Li Jing stood in front of the bedsheet with his head up, crying loudly.

"Crying." Guoguo pointed at Li Jing again.

"Jingjing, it’s no big deal, stop crying. Look, Guoguo isn’t crying." Li Yuzhu walked over, wiping Li Jing’s face with a handkerchief.

Li Jing stopped crying and looked at Guoguo with tearful eyes, "Did Guoguo wet the bed too?"

Guoguo frowned, her little face growing long, and didn’t answer.

"Uh... bedwetting is a very normal thing for kids, Jingjing, no need to be embarrassed." Li Yuzhu consoled him.

Li Jing sighed, "But Uncle Lixing and my second and third uncles all said they never wet the bed when they were little."

Li Yuzhu scoffed, "How is that possible? They’ve just grown up and forgotten what it was like as kids! If you don’t believe it, you can ask your dad, he’s older than them! He remembers what they were like as kids!"

Li Jing wiped away his tears and ran off, "I’m going to ask my dad."

Li Yuzhu turned back and looked at the brothers who had just brought another quilt out to air, scolding them, "Why mock a child? Didn’t you ever wet the bed as a kid?"

"Nonsense, we never did!" Li Xing’an and the Second Young Master answered in unison.

"Ha!" Li Yuzhu sneered, not believing them, and followed Li Jing to the South Courtyard with Guoguo.

"Ha!" Guoguo mimicked her with a chuckle.

Li Jing ran to the door of the bedroom in the South Courtyard, lying on the threshold, looking at Li Xingmao, who was combing Chai Eying’s hair, "Dad, did Second and Third Uncles wet the bed when they were little?"

The tears on his face hadn’t dried, and he looked aggrieved.

Li Xingmao was taken aback by the question.

Chai Eying turned back and, seeing the tears on Li Jing’s face, anxiously asked, "Did Jingjing cry?"

Li Jing pouted, "No."

Following behind, Li Yuzhu stood behind Li Jing, gesturing to Li Xingmao and his wife.

Li Xingmao immediately understood.

"Yes, of course." He said, beckoning to his son, "Come, Jingjing, bedwetting is something every child goes through, nothing to cry about."

Li Jing rushed into his dad’s arms, "Aunt said the same, but Second and Third Uncles and Uncle Lixing said they never wet the bed."

"They were so little back then, how could they remember? I’m older than them and remember. If you still don’t believe me, ask your grandma and grandpa. Grandma should know best." Li Xingmao patted his son’s head.

"Okay, I’ll ask Grandma." Li Jing wiped his tears and ran off to find Princess Consort Luling.

Chai Eying frowned, "This child doesn’t usually wet the bed, did he drink too much water last night?"

Li Yuzhu frowned, "He didn’t drink water, he ate a watermelon. The four of them split an eight-pound watermelon!"

Last night, after bathing, Li Xing’an and the Second Young Master Li Xingsheng went to the kitchen and carried a big watermelon to their room.

Watching these two eat watermelon, how could Li Jing resist eating?

Adults having two slices of watermelon would need to run to the restroom frequently, let alone Li Jing, who is only three and a half years old? A child of this age has just learned to control his bladder, too much watermelon before bed and water will cause bedwetting.

Chai Eying laughed angrily, "These two unreliable uncles."

"I’ll talk to them later." Li Xingmao said with a sullen face, "Making Jingjing wet the bed and laughing at him, that’s over the line."

"Over the line!" The little parrot Guoguo echoed.

Chai Eying laughed and touched Guoguo’s face, "Guoguo looks very pretty today."

Guoguo grinned wide.

Li Yuzhu grinned mischievously, "I’ll teach Jingjing’s two uncles a lesson."

Li Xingmao raised an eyebrow, "How will you do that?"

Li Yuzhu smirked, "I’ll make them wet the bed too."

Li Xingmao, "..."

Chai Eying, "..."

Guoguo giggled.

Chai Eying chuckled, "They’re too old to trick like that, Third Sister, let it go, it’s no big deal."

Li Yuzhu disagreed, she believed kids have self-esteem too.

Li Xing’an, Li Xingsheng, and Li Lixing thought it was just a joke with children, but they didn’t know that kids at this age were beginning to understand things and felt ashamed.

She handed Guoguo to Chai Eying and went to find Li Jing.

Li Xingmao continued combing Chai Eying’s hair, and Chai Eying took out two gold hairpins, clipping them onto Guoguo’s two little braids.

"Guoguo, look in the mirror." Chai Eying handed the small mirror to Guoguo.

Guoguo glanced at her and grinned.

.

Li Yuzhu chased after Li Jing, arriving at the North Courtyard main house.

Li Jing was clinging to Princess Consort Luling’s leg, weeping.

Princess Consort Luling frowned, "Be good, Jingjing, Grandma will scold your Second and Third Uncles later! Bullying a child, that’s over the line."

"Grandma, did Second and Third Uncles wet the bed when they were little?" Li Jing asked.

"Of course, of course, they did! They even got scolded by Grandma." Princess Consort Luling comforted Li Jing.

Only then did Li Jing feel a bit better.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

Li Xing’an, Li Xingsheng, and Li Lixing, after placing the bed board and quilt outside to sun, also came to the North Courtyard main house.

When Prince Luling saw them approaching, he immediately scolded, "Jingjing was only with you for one night, and you made him cry, is this how uncles should act?"

Li Lixing, being the youngest, shrank to the back, "Uncle Li, I didn’t bully him, it wasn’t my fault."

Second Young Master Li Xingsheng sneered, "Who laughed the loudest just now?"

"Not me, you heard wrong." Li Lixing refused to admit it.

"Haha." Li Xingsheng rolled his eyes at him.

Li Xing’an scratched his head, "Dad, isn’t it just bedwetting? Are we not allowed to talk about it? He’s just a little kid."

"Yes, Dad, we were just reminding him not to wet the bed again." Second Young Master Li Xingsheng added.

"Right, I can confirm that." Li Lixing echoed.

So, the three of them all looked toward Li Jing.

"Wah—" Li Jing was talked into crying again.

Prince Luling angrily picked up a feather duster and whipped it toward the three of them, "Can’t even take care of a child! Get out!"

The three of them were so scared they fled.

One ran faster than the next.

Princess Consort Luling and Li Yuzhu took turns soothing Li Jing, finally calming him down.

Li Yuzhu was both amused and exasperated, not knowing what to say.

The three brothers were all born of the same mother, yet how could they be so different?

The eldest brother is so steady, while the two younger ones are like monkeys?

Causing trouble with their nephew, they were like peas in a pod.

.

For Guoguo’s birthday feast, Prince Luling and Li Xingmao originally did not plan to make it a big deal.

They only planned to send invites to a few people in the village.

However, more people showed up than anticipated.
