Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen - Chapter 80

80 Lecturing Him

Jian Qingqing first went to the market to retrieve the stewed meat and barrels that had been deposited with the owner of the pork stall. Then, she drove the two brothers back in the ox-cart.

When they returned to the village, it was already slightly dark. It was time for the farmer to return home.

Jian Qingqing drove the cart along the road. There was no way to avoid it.

Someone saw Xiao Hu lying on the cart with a bruised and swollen face. He asked in surprise, “Xiao Hu, what happened to you?”

!!
Xiao Hu was embarrassed to say it out loud, but Jian Qingqing answered for him, “He was kidnapped by a criminal. Uncle, aunt, you have to take good care of your children. Don’t let them talk to strangers.”

The villagers were shocked. “How could he be kidnapped! Aiyo, are kidnappers so rampant these days? When I go back, I will definitely remind my kid to watch out for strangers.”

The villagers discussed animatedly. Jian Qingqing took the opportunity to quickly drive the ox-cart away.

When she returned home, Mother Jian was carrying water to clean the ox-cart. When she saw the severely injured Xiao Hu, she was so scared that the bucket fell and the water flowed all over the ground.

She cried out in fear, “Xiao Hu! What happened to you! What happened! Why are you injured so badly?”

Jian Dalang and Old Man Jian were shocked by her words. “What happened? What happened? Who was injured?”

When they saw Xiao Hu lying on the carriage, unable to move, they were also shocked. “What happened? Xiao Hu, why are you injured so badly?”

Xiao Hu looked at his sister for help. Jian Qingqing spread her hands and said helplessly, “I can’t help you with my love.”

Xiao Hu could only explain in a low voice with a bitter face.

After listening, if it were not for the fact that he was still injured, the three adults would have wanted to give him two dusters.

Jian Dalang said angrily, “How many times have I told you not to leave with strangers? Did you remember?! It’s fine that you were captured, but why are you still trying to show off? Breaking free from the rope, you will obviously get beaten up! If you want to escape, can’t you find a time when there’s no one around before you move?!”

Mother Jian was usually a gentle person, but she also wanted to give him a few lessons. “You’re already so old, yet you can still be fooled by these bad people. Do you have a brain? It’s fine if you were deceived, but you still brought Xiao Ye with you. If anything were to happen to him, how are we going to explain it to your uncle? Xiao Ye is still so young, you should have taken good care of him.”

Xiao Ye shrunk to the side in guilt, reducing his presence. He usually remembered that he could not casually follow strangers, but when the bad guy mentioned that his sister was injured, he was very anxious and forgot about it.

This was the first time Jian Qingqing heard about the details of Xiao Hu’s injury. Previously, she only knew how they were tied up, and she also felt that he was too impulsive, she could not help but lecture him, “If you encounter any danger in the future, if it is not too urgent, can you wait for your sister to save you? Even if you want to save yourself, you have to consider the outcome before you act. Like today, Xiao Ye is still unconscious there. What is the use of you escaping alone? How far can you run if you need to carry Xiao Ye? Even if you want to run, you have to wait for Xiao Ye to wake up before you run.”

Xiao Hu lowered his head guiltily and listened to their lecture. After a long while, he raised his head and said firmly, “I know I’m wrong. I’ll definitely learn from today’s lesson in the future. I’ll act more steadily and not be so impulsive.”

Seeing that he had really come to his senses, Old Man Jian said, “Just remember today’s lesson. Alright, let’s go eat.”

Xiao Hu was the eldest boy in their family, but he always looked like he was not growing up. Even Jian Rong, who was younger than him, was much more sensible. He was already earning money to care for the entire family. If Xiao Hu was still so naive, how could he protect his brothers and sisters? Jian Qinging hoped that after experiencing this, he could grow up a little.
