บท 224: Strategy Meeting.

Hao Ren and Hao Mei returned to the courtyard. It had been fifteen days since they left and the people heaved a sigh of relief when they saw him return. The children were very reliable on him. Little Si trotted over and said, "Jian, Peng, and Ding bullied me, they did not let me eat drumsticks, and..." 

Hao Ren had just landed on the ground when he heard the little one complaining. He chuckled and scooped her up in his arms. He asked dotingly, "Why did they bully you?" 

Si replied, "They call me little fatty. Boohoo, they are bad.."

As she said this, she buried her head in Hao Ren's shoulder and cried. Hao Mei saw this and was surprised to see how much these children trusted her brother. They did not have any barriers with him as if he was their friends. Specially the girls, they all saw him as the reliable elder brother. She could see the affection and respect they held for him in their hearts brimming through their eyes.
