Chapter 380: Chapter 380: UneaseMom was theirs, and they knew early on how delicious the food she cooked was!

    Around one-thirty, Wen Yue packed up the burn ointment Kang Li had given her and took her two younger sisters back to their own home.

    After sending the three little girls to the courtyard gate, Kang Li returned to the living room and looked at Xiao Ming Rui and the three children. "Ruirui, isn’t it time for you to go back to your room for a nap?"

    Xiao Ming Rui nodded.

    The twin with mixed-sex also nodded their little heads. "Okay." They slid off the sofa and followed behind their brother Min Rui, obediently heading to the bedroom.

    Turning off the TV, Kang Li tidied up the living room, then went to the trio’s bedroom.

    "Mommy, tell us a story."

    Milk Bun Ming Han lay on his bed, and when he saw his mom enter, he immediately raised his milky voice, requesting a bedtime story.

    "Okay."

    After placing the three little ones’ cotton coats neatly, Kang Li sat on the chair and started to tell the story of the idiom "Drawing a boat to seek a sword."

    Time dripped away, and only the clear, gentle, and beautiful voice of Kang Li flowed in the room.

    Somewhere along the way, the three children closed their eyes, and Kang Li’s story reached its end.

    She stood up, tucked the blankets properly over the three of them, and quietly left the room.

    Next door at Wen’s family, Su Man took a taxi from her maternal home and arrived to find the house eerily quiet. Her heart tightened, and she forced down her anxiety, step by step, walking towards Sister Wen Yue’s room.

    The door was ajar, and she gently pushed it open.

    "So well-behaved!"

    Seeing the three Wen sisters lying on the bed taking a nap, Su Man was surprised and couldn’t help but mutter, "How come you three are not this well-behaved when I am home? Today I go back to my mother’s house, and you all climb into bed to take a nap on your own."

    But as Su Man’s gaze fell on the left hand that Wen Yue exposed outside the blanket, her pupils suddenly shrank: It was a burn from hot water!

    The skin was red, with a few water blisters the size of mung beans...

    Su Man saw this, her feet staggered momentarily, and she immediately turned to the kitchen.

    Sure enough, the kitchen floor was wet, the kettle was set aside, the stove was off, and a few cabbage leaves along with a green onion lay on the chopping block, and the bundle of noodles she had gotten out before she left was still in its place.

    Had they not eaten lunch yet?!

    Her eyes flickered slightly, Su Man’s lips were tightly pressed as she came out of the kitchen and looked in the direction of the two neighboring houses.

    Wen Yue that wretched girl must have burnt her hand with hot water, probably scaring the little ones into crying out loud, which would inevitably attract outsiders to the house.

    Just as she was thinking this, Su Man heard a knock on the courtyard door.

    "Come in." sea??h thё N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Looking towards the courtyard entrance, Su Man frowned slightly, not knowing who would visit at this time.

    With a "creak", the courtyard door was pushed open, and Mrs. Qi walked in.

    Su Man looked puzzled. "Comrade Qi... do you need something from me?"

    "Yes."

    Mrs. Qi nodded.

    "Let’s sit in the living room." Su Man led the way, and Mrs. Qi followed her, and they entered the living room.

    Speaking of which, all the women comrades in this courtyard were overseen by Mrs. Qi, or in other words, Mrs. Qi was sort of the "Women’s Federation Director" of the courtyard. Anyone in the families could approach Mrs. Qi for help with conflicts or unfair treatment of women and children.

    And as for the incident that occurred at Wen’s family this noon, somehow it reached Mrs. Qi’s ears, and it had upset Mrs. Qi so much that she had lost her appetite for lunch.

    She felt that Su Man was really excessive; with her husband busy contributing to the state at his work unit, Su Man, as the lady,
