Chapter 108: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 108: Suisui Likes Peach Blossoms
When Feng Xuanjie made his comment, the other brothers immediately stopped focusing on their own toys and turned to look at him. At that moment, Feng Xuanjie thought: Actually, dying is an easy thing to do!
He wished he could find a hole to hide in.
What had he said?
To carve a decorative pattern on a commode for his sister.
So, can the young masters of the Wang family self-destruct?
His carving tools were ready-made, no need to buy new ones.
Feng Xuanjie’s face turned red with embarrassment and then white with discomfort. He stood there awkwardly, his head that had been held high now hanging low, his hands fidgeting with his outer robe.
Suisui thought that based on Fourth Brother’s fidgeting, she might not know if he needed to use the bathroom, but it must be very easy for the robe to catch fire.
Suisui was a bit slower to understand than the other brothers and took a while to figure out what a commode was.
After a long time, she realized it and wanted to say: It’s not necessary.
Actually, a commode would suffice without any decorations.
But when she was about to refuse, she noticed the other brothers’ reactions, which were somewhat odd.
Feeling embarrassed, Suisui finally moved closer to Feng Xuanrui.
She thought that when faced with something she couldn’t solve, she should find her brother.
This was something Lele had taught her.
Lele said that since she was still a child, it was normal not to be able to handle some things.
So, when in trouble, find her brother.
When Feng Xuanrui felt Suisui move closer, he finally realized what was going on. He gasped and patted his hands vigorously.
Noticing Fourth Brother’s pale face, he swallowed the words he was about to say. While swallowing, he also accidentally choked on his own saliva and began to cough heavily.
His coughing made the atmosphere less awkward.
Suisui, initially too shy to look at Fourth Brother, saw her brother coughing and hurriedly tiptoed to pat his back: “Brother, Brother.”
Suisui didn’t know what was wrong with her brother, so she quietly asked.
Feng Xuanchang, who had returned with a drink, heard Fourth Brother’s comment about carving patterns on a commode.
He stood there stunned for a while, then thought with a sense of relief: Fortunately, he came back after drinking water.
If he had heard that while drinking, he couldn’t imagine how embarrassed he would have been.
Feng Xuanbin initially thought carving patterns on a commode was unnecessary.
However, after imagining the scene, he thought it might be quite nice? It would be pleasing to the eye, wouldn’t it?
With this thought, Feng Xuanbin moved closer to Fourth Brother, hugged his leg, and looked up with a naive expression: “Fourth Brother, I want one too. You can’t be biased!”
Feng Xuanjie: …
I’d rather die!
Feng Xuanjie was at a loss for words.
Feng Xuanbo finally came to his senses, almost bursting out laughing. Fearing it would make Fourth Brother even more embarrassed, he held back his laughter but couldn’t help turning away, laughing in a way that resembled when the prince hit him with a stick.
Seeing Seventh Brother ask for one, Suisui thought that perhaps this carving was a trend in the capital?
So, it would be okay to have one too?
Understanding this, Suisui moved away from Feng Xuanrui and walked over to Feng Xuanjie, gently tugging at his sleeve and whispering: “Fourth Brother, I want peach blossoms. Peach blossoms are pretty.”
Suisui had not been familiar with many flowers before.
There were only a few small flowers on fruit trees in her village.
Among them, peach blossoms were the most beautiful and pink.
Suisui liked them a lot.
In the village, only two families had peach trees.
During blooming season, both adults and children in the village kept a close watch, fearing someone might come and pick the peaches.
Suisui didn’t want to be seen as a thief and never dared to get too close.
Even when the petals fell, she wouldn’t dare approach, occasionally glancing from a distance, content with her feelings.
Despite this, she was often framed by the village children.
Then, adults would indiscriminately beat her and, after that, drag her home by the neck.
Her uncle and aunt would give her another beating to satisfy the villagers and calm them down.
Suisui once struggled and tried to explain, but all she received was more beatings.
Initially, she didn’t understand why she was scolded and beaten despite doing nothing wrong.
As she faced more hardships, she slowly figured it out.
People didn’t like her and found fault with her at every turn. Whenever something went wrong in the village or at home, she would be blamed.
Now, she finally had the opportunity to choose something she liked.
Suisui attempted to ask for peach blossoms.
The awkward atmosphere was almost completely dissipated by Suisui’s request.
To ease the awkwardness, Feng Xuanchang smiled and asked Suisui, “Do you like peach blossoms, Sister?”
To this question, Suisui nodded vigorously: “I like them.”
After a moment’s thought, she added softly: “They’re pretty.”
Feng Xuanrui, hearing this, squeezed over and said with a smile: “Peach blossoms are not the most beautiful. Mother has a small garden in the backyard with even more beautiful flowers. There’s a warm house in the estate’s garden specifically for growing these flowers. If you like any kind, Brother will dig some up for you.”
From a distance, Qi Wangfei: …!
What else could she do but smile?
The conversation quickly turned cheerful and relaxed, allowing Feng Xuanjie to recover from his social embarrassment.
He thought, if his younger siblings liked it, then he would carve it.
Is there really any difference in what he carves?
After coming to terms with it, he found…
Actually, life wasn’t too bad.
His younger siblings were looking forward to his craftsmanship.
With this thought, Feng Xuanjie felt unusually confident and smiled at Suisui, nodding: “Sister, don’t worry. Fourth Brother will carve yours first.”
If it were any other brother, Feng Xuanbin would definitely be asking, “Why? Aren’t we all siblings? Why is there a need to prioritize?”
But if it’s for the sister…
That’s a different story.
Feng Xuanbin even playfully added: “Yes, yes, carve Sister’s first. And not just the commode, but a bath bucket too, right? Also, I remember Fourth Brother’s little horse and donkey carvings were quite good, though not as good as Third Brother’s, they were still decent. We should prepare those too for Sister. If Fourth Brother can’t handle it, just call me. I have strong hands!”
Listening to this, Feng Xuanjie kept nodding, thinking: Since the sister has just arrived, she needs to be well-prepared.
As for being overshadowed by Seventh Brother, Feng Xuanjie decided to ignore it!
Feng Xuanbin’s favorite little wooden horse was also carved by him.
What the younger brothers had, the sister should have too!
Feng Xuanrui, seeing Feng Xuanbin’s sycophantic behavior, sneered: “Yes, yes, you’re the strongest, yet you still miss the target.”
Feng Xuanbin, unable to handle the mockery, sat down and cried out loud: “Why do you have to bring up class issues after school? Wuwu!”
