She was still thinking when she felt someone tugging on her pants, she looked down and saw Yu Mai standing next to her with little bun who was looking at her with a pitiful expression on their face.

” What’s wrong?” Yu Dong asked as she looked down at the two and crouched down to pick little bun up in her arms, she patted him on the back and for once little bun was not sassy with her, he leaned on her shoulder and let out a soft sigh which caused Yu Dong’s heart to the brim with warmth.

Yu Mai was not jealous when he saw that his nephew was the only one who was hugged by his sister instead he was completely relaxed as he tugged on Yu Dong’s pants and then said, ” Sister we want to eat sticky Chinese pork belly and bun bun wants to eat boiled shredded pork.”

” Sticky pork belly?” Yu Dong repeated as she thought about how Chen Mi has refused to cook sticky pork belly because Yu Mai kept eating three to five bowls of rice, he kept eating until his belly was round and he started getting nauseous, because Chen Mi was worried that Yu Mai will do something like this again, so he refused to cook sticky pork belly for the family.

She smiled at Yu Mai who was looking at her with a puppy dog face and then teased him with a slight bump of her waist. ” You are scared of your third brother-in-law?”

Yu Mai pursed his lips and nodded before replying, ” Third brother-in-law is really scary when he is angry.” Chen Mi was indeed scary for Yu Mai because the two of them did not have much age difference, Chen Mi fought with Yu Mai at the same level and Yu Mai who did not have much experience in fighting would often be defeated by Chen Mi who was well acquainted with the arts of dealing with a brat, given that he gave birth to one.

Because Yu Mai knew that he could not deal with his third brother-in-law, which was he came looking for his sister, he knew that as long as his sister says that she wants to eat sticky pork, his third brother will definitely cook the sticky pork without refusing at all.

” I see,” Yu Dong chuckled as she looked at Yu Mai who was looking at the meat that was being cleaned and salivating continuously. Though Yu Dong was not strict with Yu Mai and little bun but she wasn’t lenient with them either, which was she sternly looked at Yu Mai and said, ” I will ask your third brother-in-law to cook sticky pork for you but you can only eat two bowls of rice with it.” As she spoke, she crouched down again and then the squished Yu Mai’s belly. ” Look at this, I asked you to go around and run but you ignored sister’s words.”

She was not one of those parents who would body shame their child, but that did not mean that she will allow her children to eat whatever they want without any active exercises. As long as they listened to her and burned the number of calories required, they were welcome to eat anything but if they get lazy like Yu Mai who just wanted to laze around in the house and not run at all, she will have to get a little strict with him.

If he was to fall ill because of his laziness then what was she going to do?

Yu Mai pouted but he still raised his hand and showed Yu Dong three fingers and said, ” Three bowls of rice.”

” Three and ten minutes run around the house,” Yu Dong haggled as she looked at Yu Mai who seemed to be a bit hesitant but under the lure of Chen Mi’s excellent cooking, he succumbed and nodded. ” Deal, Mai will run for ten minutes if sister lets me eat three bowls of rice with sticky pork belly.”

He was worried that like last time his sister will give him three bowls of rice and no sticky belly so he specifically emphasised the stick pork belly causing Yu Dong to laugh as she nodded and promised, ” Don’t worry as long as you run for ten minutes now, I will let you eat as much as you want.”

Her words caused Yu Mai’s eyes to shine and he looked at her before asking, ” Really?”

“Really, if you keep your promise like a good boy… I will reward you.” Yu Dong was not afraid of Yu Mai getting chubby as long as he was healthy it did not bother her how he looked.

Yu Mai heard that his sister was willing to give her extra pork belly, he immediately agreed to run around the platform of the tree house as he caught Yu Dong’s wrist and tugged her out of the house.

Shen Li who was keeping an eye on Yu Dong and Yu Mai immediately stopped his work and then walked out of the kitchen after telling Ye Liu and Chen Mi to look after the meat and prepare it for dinner.

Fang Chi was tired and was taking a nap while grandma Yu and Yu Tong were also sleeping because of them being sick and water filling their lungs, so apart from Shen Li, Ye Liu and Chen Mi no one was in the house.

So, when Shen Li said that he was going to leave the house, Ye Liu and Chen Mi suddenly got even more busy and did not have the time to look at where he was going and why.

They busied themselves with work while Shen Li walked out of the house and then came to stand next to Yu Dong who was watching Yu Mai run, he waited, hesitating for a while before he summoned his courage and asked, ” Do you like Xiao Hua?”
