Chapter 1389: Comprehension

“No, your pronunciation is wrong, you should read it like this, watch my mouth.”

“La…”

“Ma.”

Suddenly a cold, deep voice interrupted.

The Old Lady shivered all over, her unfinished words swallowed back by a mouthful of cold air, and she looked at Deng Chan, who was standing not far away with her arms crossed, as if she’d seen a ghost.

Surprisingly, she was the first to jump.

“Why are you wandering around and not sleeping in the middle of the night!”

“Why are you talking to a bird in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!”

Deng Chan squinted and asked coldly, “Did you teach it?”

The Old Lady’s mouth was quick: “No!

I’m watching a movie, you heard it wrong!”

Just that once, after being caught by Deng Chan, there was never any evidence of the Old Lady teaching the bird to talk, but she didn’t live in the old house, so the Old Lady had plenty of time.

“Teaching it to call me an old lady is one thing, but how can you teach it to call my daughter-in-law ugly?”

Nan Jiaojiao pouted, “Grandma, did you really teach it?”

What did she ever do to offend the old lady, who had tricked her into the family in the first place.

The Old Lady waved her hand, “Absolutely not me, I admit I taught it to curse Deng Chan, but I definitely didn’t teach it to curse you, I swear on my Xiao San!”

The three of them: “…”

Who should laugh, who should cry?

Nan Jiaojiao was not comforted, “Then where did it learn it from?”

“Is it possible it became a spirit?”

It became a ghost.

Bo Yanching couldn’t hold back his laughter, “I can testify, it really wasn’t grandma who taught it.

Probably it heard so many curses, Xiao Ba figured it out on its own.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at him, thanks a lot, but she still wasn’t comforted.

At least when Deng Chan was cursed, someone taught it, but when Nan Jiaojiao was cursed, the wretched bird figured it out by itself.

If it had such enlightenment, wouldn’t it be better to become a celestial being, of all things to figure out, why focus on someone’s face.

“Never mind, a lousy bird’s judgment can’t be compared with a human’s.”

Nan Jiaojiao quickly comforted herself, she sat down and ate two pastries.

Soon the butler came to call for dinner.

The two children were playing in the living room.

When they saw the three adults entering from outside, Bo Qingshan immediately scurried over, clinging to Nan Jiaojiao and only letting go to complain to the butler, “Uncle, next time finish your words, I thought only my Third Uncle was coming back, how could you forget my Sister Jiaojiao.”

The butler pretended there was something on his toe and didn’t look up, pretending he hadn’t heard.

Bo Yanching poked his forehead with a finger, “Call her Third Aunt.”

“Why should I call her Third Aunt, I call her Third Aunt!” Bo Yanching’s eyes widened, his face pressed against Nan Jiaojiao’s arm, squishing it out of shape, “My Sister Jiaojiao is so young, just because you’re old, doesn’t mean you should make her sound old.

Third Uncle, you should know better, using your old hands to mess with the flowers, don’t you feel guilty?”

Bo Yanching picked up the little brat by the collar, dragging him far away, no matter how much Bo Qingshan wriggled, he couldn’t escape his five-finger mountain.

Even during dinner, he deliberately pushed Bo Qingshan aside and seized the spot next to Nan Jiaojiao for himself.

On Nan Jiaojiao’s other side sat Deng Chan, and Bo Yanching casually tossed Bo Qingshan towards Deng Chan.

He really did toss him over, and when Bo Qingshan’s feet touched the ground, his hair stood on end.

He was so angry he ate an extra bowl of rice.

Just when he was full, the butler coaxed him away.

He wasn’t clueless; he knew the adults had things to discuss, so he half-heartedly took Qianqian outside to play.

“Jiaojiao, my and your stepmother’s intention is…”
