CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 361 HELPING LI JING REGAIN FACE (2)

Fortunately, Mother-in-law knew about Luo Zikun’s situation, fearing she might shout it out loud, her attitude towards her improved a lot, and she said that after the child was born, she would let her manage the Luo family’s account books.

Miss Chai was very tempted.

She secretly vowed in her heart that she must find a way to have a child.

.

This time, the Li family’s birthday banquet for Guoguo was just a small feast, without many tasks to handle afterwards.

Six tables for the banquet, only four sets were borrowed.

Li Xing’an tied the family’s small cart to the horse’s back, placed tables and chairs on it, and made two trips to transport everything.

Some unfinished dishes and wine, Li Xingmao sorted out, divided into several portions, and had Mu Yuanxiu deliver them to a few families who helped.

For example, the two ladies of the Liu family and Mrs. Li Zheng.

Li Xing’an was busy with household matters, while Second Young Master Li Xingsheng was busy cleaning his room.

Li Jing wet the bed, the bed board and quilt had been sun-dried all day, and were extremely dry.

He called over Li Lixing, and the two of them carried the bed board into the room.

The quilt was quite large, so Second Young Master managed to carry it in alone.

Li Yuzhu carried a new bedsheet and pillowcase, and walked over with Guoguo, seeing Li Jing sitting on a small stool under the little tree in front of the house, head hung in a long sigh.

So young yet with such a deep expression, Li Yuzhu couldn’t help but laugh.

"Brother." Guoguo happily called out to him.

"Oh, Guoguo." Li Jing glanced up at Guoguo, then returned to his previous expression, lowering his head in despair.

Li Yuzhu walked over, laughing, "Jingjing, why aren’t you happy?"

Guoguo walked over, wobbling, pinched his face, "Brother, be happy."

Li Jing being happy? That would be surprising.

It’s almost evening, he would have to sleep again, if he wets the bed again, it would be terrible.

He didn’t dare to sleep, yet he was getting sleepy.

Li Jing yawned and sighed.

Li Yuzhu squatted down, touched his face, and laughed, "Jingjing, are you afraid of wetting the bed?"

Li Jing looked up and nodded.

Li Yuzhu said, "Last night before sleeping, you ate melon, so you had much urine, but slept deeply, and couldn’t hold it in, so you wet the bed. So tonight, Jingjing shouldn’t eat melon before bed, nor drink goat milk, nor water. Go pee well, then go to sleep, then you won’t wet the bed."

Li Jing furrowed his brows, "But I’m thirsty."

It was late summer, early autumn then, the daytime was hot, wanting to drink water before sleep was inevitable.

Li Yuzhu said, "Then just drink a sip, enough to moisten your lips, not too much."

Li Jing nodded, "Alright."

"Jingjing, cheer up, you and Guoguo play here, Aunt will make the bed for you." Li Yuzhu patted his little head and walked into the brothers’ room.

Like Li Yuzhu and her three sisters, the brothers also had separate beds, but didn’t split into rooms, all staying in one room.

Li Xing’an and Li Xingsheng each had a bed, Li Lixing one bed, Li Jing a small bed.

The beds were placed in four directions of the room.

Second Young Master Li Xingsheng was making the bed for Li Jing’s small bed.

Li Yuzhu walked over, placed the new bedsheet she was holding on the bed, "Second Brother, this is for Jingjing."

"Ha, this kid, wetting the bed earns him a favor? Using a new bedsheet?" Li Xingsheng shook open the bedsheet to see.

On the light green bedsheet, there were several patches, colorful fabric pieced together into a pillow-sized colorful duck pattern.

The duck wasn’t like a real duck, it had a touch of childlike appeal.

Besides the bedsheet, there was also a matching small pillow, the patch on which was a hat.

The hat was also different from the usual hats, yet looked very fun.

This was drawn by Li Yuzhu as a Donald Duck design, then asked the skillful Great Princess to use floral cloth to cut into the shape, sewn onto the new bedsheet.

Guoguo’s and her bedsheet also had a cartoon patch, hers was a Minnie design.

Li Lixing looked on from the side, enviously said, "Li Yuzhu, make one of these bedsheets for me too?"

Li Yuzhu laughed, "Didn’t you say you’re an adult? But this is for three-year-old kids."

Li Lixing replied, dissatisfied, "Can’t adults use it?"

"No! Adults should make their own things! This is made by Big Sister for Jingjing, if you want it, ask her yourself." Li Yuzhu shook her head.

Asking the Great Princess for things? Not only would you not get it, you’d be scolded, who dares to ask?

Li Lixing sighed inwardly, better forget it.

Second Young Master Li Xingsheng finished making the bed, covered the pillowcase, shook his head and said, "Li Jing, this kid has some luck, wetting the bed gets him a new bedsheet and a new pillowcase."

Li Yuzhu chuckled, "You all wet the bed too, huh? I’ll ask Big Sis to make new ones for you."

The Second Young Master had a dark face, "Third sister, we’re not that shameless!"

Seeing the bed ready, Li Yuzhu went outside to call for Li Jing.

"Jingjing, come quickly to see your bed, see if it looks good. Big Sis made new bed sheets and pillowcases for you." Li Yuzhu stood at the door, waving to call Li Jing.

As soon as he heard there were new sheets, Li Jing was delighted.

He patted the dust off his butt and dashed inside, "Let me see if it looks good."

Guoguo laughed and followed along.

Li Yuzhu went over, took her hand, and went inside.

Li Jing ran into the bedroom, leaned over the bed to look at his new sheets, and exclaimed, "Good looking, good looking, hey, this pattern is the same as the drawings in Uncle Lixing’s book. Hey, there’s a little hat on this pillow too."

Li Yuzhu laughed, "Jingjing, are you going to sleep here tonight?"

The little one had been running outside all day, and even when he got sleepy in the afternoon, he didn’t want to come back for a nap and instead went to Uncle Gui’s room at the entrance to sleep for a while.

There were lots of guests today, with people coming and going at the entrance, making a racket. Li Jing dozed on and off until he woke up.

Not getting a good nap, Li Jing was drowsy all afternoon.

But being a child, he forgot about wetting the bed last night as soon as he saw something exciting.

He grinned, "Hmm, I’ll sleep here."

The Second Young Master patted his head, "Jingjing, you better not wet the bed tonight, these are new ones."

Li Jing’s face fell again.

Li Yuzhu pulled a face, "Second Brother!" He always had to bring up the wrong thing at the wrong time!

The Second Young Master quickly waved his hand, coaxing Li Jing, "Ah, I have a feeling Jingjing won’t wet the bed tonight."

Li Jing still frowned.

Li Yuzhu glared at the Second Young Master, can’t he just comfort the kid properly?

She touched Li Jing’s head, "Jingjing, these sheets have magic powers, if you sleep on them, you won’t wet the bed."

Li Jing’s eyes widened, "Auntie, really?"

Li Yuzhu nodded, "If you do what Auntie just said, then it’s true."

"Hmm, I’ll remember what Auntie just said." Li Jing nodded obediently.

The Second Young Master curiously asked, "Third sister, what did you say to Jingjing?"

Li Yuzhu sniffed lightly, "Not telling you!"

Li Jing proudly added, "We’re not telling you!"

The Second Young Master raised an eyebrow, "Alright, your secret."

.

Following Li Yuzhu’s instructions, after dinner, indeed, Li Jing did not gulp down water or milk, even when Li Xing’an and the Second Young Master offered him grapes, he held back and didn’t eat them.

The two brothers gave him a bath and carried him to his small bed, when he was thirsty he still resisted drinking.

Kids, when they get sleepy, they fall asleep after resisting for a while.

Li Xing’an went for a bath, the Second Young Master went to Prince Luling’s main house for a meeting, and Li Lixing sat in front of their bedroom, gazing at the stars in boredom.

Li Yuzhu came over, waving and softly calling him, "Li Lixing!"

Li Lixing asked, "What’s up, Li Yuzhu?"

"Help me with a task, there’s a reward if you succeed." Li Yuzhu said with a smile.

Li Lixing happily ran over, "What kind of reward?"

Li Yuzhu laughed, "You’re thinking about the reward without even asking what the task is?"

Li Lixing waved his small hand, "You’re the kindest in the family, you wouldn’t make me climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, would you? No need to ask, it must be a small matter."

"You do trust me." Li Yuzhu chuckled.

"Hurry up and tell me what the reward is." Li Lixing urged her.

"A bed sheet with the same pattern as Jingjing’s, do you want it?" Li Yuzhu teased with a smile.

"Really? That’s great! Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Li Lixing eagerly rubbed his hands.

"Hmm, it’s simple, after my second and third brothers fall asleep, just sneak a cup of water onto their bed to make it look like they wet it." Li Yuzhu smiled, "Easy, right?"

Li Lixing was dumbfounded.

The task is simple, but if it gets found out, those brothers would skin him alive!

"Actually, it’s not that hard, you’re not pouring water on them, just on the bed, it won’t disturb them." Li Yuzhu coaxed, "Tomorrow I’ll have Big Sis make a new set of bed sheets for you, you get to pick the design."

Li Lixing hesitated for a moment, "If they find out, you have to save me."
