Chapter 377: Chapter 377 The Hindsight
But she opened her mouth and eventually only said to Wen Yue, “Yueyue, what Auntie said just now was nonsense…”
Facing Wen Yue’s unwavering gaze, Loo Ping couldn’t muster the words to continue.
At that mont, Aunt Kang spoke up, “Let’s go, to Auntie’s house. I’ll apply so burn cream for you.” Saying this, Kang Li took Wen Yue’s unscathed hand and turned to the now-silent Wen Yi and Wen Yu, “Do you want to go to Auntie’s house too?”
Wen Yi and Wen Yu nodded their little heads.
“Then co with Auntie.”
Kang Li smiled and beckoned the sisters to follow her.
Outside the Wen Family Courtyard, watching Kang Li lead Wen Yue and her two sisters into her own yard, the middle-aged woman called Sister-in-law Xu by Loo Ping, who was none other than Xu i, couldn’t help but say to Loo Ping, “We’re all neighbors here. Can’t you watch what you say, especially since you’re an elentary school teacher? If Xiao Su finds out what you said inside her family’s courtyard, and in front of Wen Yue and her sisters no less, do you believe she won’t let you have it?”
“Sister, I…”
Loo Ping’s face was a picture of embarrassnt as she fumbled for words.
Xu i said, “Especially the things you shouldn’t have said in front of Wen Yue and her sisters. What’s the point of saying this now? You’d better just take care of yourself!” With that, she turned and headed toward her own courtyard gate.
As she watched the other enter the gate, Loo Ping’s face imdiately turned sour, “If she truly cared, why didn’t she warn before I spoke? Instead, she criticizes only afterward!”
The Luo Family.
Kang Li brought the three Wen sisters ho and not only treated Wen Yue’s burned hand with disinfectant but also applied burn ointnt. After all this, the tears in Wen Yue’s eyes finally began to fall.
“Does it hurt a lot, the injury on your hand?”
The back of the little girl’s hand and the area near the wrist did have so burns, but they were only superficially reddened skin. Before she even brought the girls ho, she had administered tily treatnt, and now she had done even more with disinfection and burn ointnt. It shouldn’t have hurt so much that the girl would cry nonstop like rain pouring from the sky, her tears falling like heavy beads.
Confusion tinged Aunt Kang’s fox-like eyes, mixed with concern, “Would you like Aunt Kang to blow on it for you?”
“It doesn’t hurt… Aunt Kang, my hand doesn’t hurt…” Wen Yue sobbed as she shook her head, glancing at her little sisters Wen Yi and Wen Yu who were sitting in a row on the couch watching TV, sniffed, and said to Kang Li, “I just feel that Ming Rui, Hanhan, and Vivi are luckier than and my sisters Wen Yi and Wen Yu!”
Kang Li patted the little girl’s head and said with a smile, “You and your two sisters are very lucky too.”
“No, we’re not lucky.”
Large tears fell from Wen Yue’s eyes as she shook her head, “My mom and dad are divorced, she married so other uncle and has a new family, she doesn’t want and my sister anymore… And my dad, he married that woman…”
Before Wen Yue could continue, Aunt Kang, with a voice that was both clear and soothing, interrupted the girl, “Wen Yue, you are a smart girl. You should think about happy things every day. Although Auntie doesn’t know why your mom and dad got divorced, Auntie believes that they both surely love you and your sister. It’s just that the adult world is complex, and if there are things you can’t understand right now, don’t think about them. When you grow up, you will understand all those things you didn’t understand before.”
“But I don’t have any happy things. Ever since my mom left, I’ve been unhappy every day. I miss my mom, but I know it will be hard for to see her again.”
