บท 391: Adoptive Children

When they arrived, Li Lingyun picked up Dong Huang from the bamboo basket, put her down, and said, "Go and wash your hands. We will have lunch together."

Now that they're here, it would be rude to refuse. Both Dong Li and Dong Huang went to wash away the dirt on their bodies with other children. As soon as the kids saw them, one of them asked, "Huh? I never see you. Who are you?"

Dong Huang didn't know what to say and held her brother's hand tightly. Both are outsiders and feel out of place at this family gathering. Before Dong Li could speak, he heard Li Chenze's voice, "Have you done washing your hands?"

The children saw him and asked, "Uncle, who are they? I have never seen them before."

Li Chenze squatted down, looked at the children, and said with a smile, "They are the foster children of your ninth uncle. So, they are also your cousins. You must treat them well, do you understand?"
