Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 434 - 12 You Don’t Even Call Me Sister
From ancient times to the present, no brother has ever been able to stand his family’s cabbage being snatched away by a little brat on a ghost ride.
The Jade Emperor couldn’t bear it, neither could Erlang God.
Mu Yuming’s idea of letting Li Mumu mingle more with suitably aged young men from decent families is not at all unreasonable.
After the New Year at fifteen, it’s almost time to consider matters of marriage.
But Li Mumu isn’t in any hurry at all; why waste her prime youthful days on men when she could be freely enjoying them?
"Is the braised beef tasty?"
"Very tasty, Sister!"
Seeing the simple smile on Dumpling’s face, Li Mumu felt extremely pleased.
These kind of naive young boys are the easiest to deal with.
Don’t think just because they usually behave like brothers with Wang Yunxiao, swearing brotherhood among men—that’s just kid stuff, as fragile as a sheet of window paper.
Just feed them a few more times, and she would occupy a more important place in the hearts of these boys; then, with just one command, even if it meant tying up their big brother and throwing him onto the bed... pah! Or into the toilet, they wouldn’t hesitate.
It’s just that there’s no need for that.
Such a small group isn’t worth Li Mumu’s further attention; as long as the new bedding she ordered arrives and she does a few similar acts after the start of the school term, she would be able to do as she pleases at school.
Unlike those pampered skinned pigs raised by bitches in Safo City, students in the country are more naïve, raised from childhood on traditional thoughts and culture, understanding manners and gratitude; that’s already quite commendable.
The rice in the cafeteria actually had sand in it; a few days ago, Li Mumu nearly chipped her front tooth eating it.
So, she gave Dumpling an extra penny to cook specially for her.
Steamed white buns with braised beef and plain water, that was Eldest Miss Li’s elegant dinner for today.
Dumpling’s steamed buns could be peeled apart to eat, a unique skill of northerners when it comes to flour-based food. The taste of the bun’s skin could be said to be the essence of the entire bun. It couldn’t even be soiled by the braised beef’s sauce and had to be eaten hot and plain to be truly appreciated.
Li Mumu peeled the skin of the bun and tossed the bun to Jiang Yinyin.
Wang Yunxiao stood by, looking at his unpeeled bun, lost in thought.
"No, thank you."
Who gave you such a big face? Who said I was giving it to you?
Wang Yunxiao, feeling exposed and somewhat affronted, stuffed the bun into his mouth and chewed fiercely.
Feeding Eldest Miss Li was indeed inappropriate, a rich girl like her wouldn’t be wanting for money—offering her bun skins was tantamount to humiliating her.
Wang Yunxiao turned to Little Gourd, "Eat more meat, you need to replenish your nutrition!"
Little Gourd looked at Wang Yunxiao with a pitiful gaze, "Big Brother, I want to eat the bun skin too."
"I’ll peel it for you!"
Feeding his own little sister wasn’t subjected to such scruples; she wouldn’t mind his dirty hands.
This is why men often "downgrade" when looking for a wife.
The brothers were all wolfing down their food, seemingly oblivious to the stir over here.
Youtiao coughed and asked, "Big Brother, what do we do with those old quilts once the new bedding arrives?"
Wang Yunxiao glanced at Li Mumu, then generously gestured, "Toss them!"
"Seems a pity."
"What else to do with them? Don’t they attract bugs?"
"I was thinking of keeping them, in case it gets cold in the winter, having an extra blanket would be good."
The central heating system hadn’t reached the city yet, and without heating in school, one could only shiver through the winter.
The climate in Tianmen City is comparatively warmer than the rest of the North, but that doesn’t mean it won’t freeze you to death.
Wang Yunxiao glanced again at Li Mumu; his main concern was whether the young mistress would be squeamish. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Though judging by their time together, Eldest Miss Li didn’t seem that delicate, but with rich people, you never know what issues they might have.
Li Mumu slowly swallowed the bun skin, "Just wash them again, dry them out, and put them away."
"Can quilts be washed?"
"Take out the cotton and wash the quilt cover?"
"How will you stuff it back in after you take it out?"
"Just stuff it back the way you took it out!"
"Then are you going to sew it?"
The brothers babbled on, completely clueless when it came to needlework.
Li Mumu turned to Jiang Yinyin and asked, "Does Zhou Qing still do needlework?"
Jiang Yinyin nodded hurriedly: "She does, she does!"
"I’ll pay for her to sew it. If she can’t finish it alone, aren’t there many students who stay at school? Let her organize them."
Youtiao immediately gave a thumbs up: "Miss Li is so kind!"
It was indeed a kind act, as not only their group stayed at the school, but there were also many homeless students. While they dined and wined every day, those students could only clutch their cornbread, drooling as they watched.
There was no helping it; they didn’t have the capability that Wang Yunxiao and his group had, and Principal Zhou also forbade them from working outside to earn money.
It was forbidden in principle.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t care and could still laugh and joke in front of the principal.
But they didn’t have the guts to do that.
Without the guts, even if they went out, they couldn’t avoid being bullied.
Staying at school and eating coarse meals at least offered temporary comfort without suffering the harsh realities of society.
For Miss Li to pay and employ them, allowing them to earn some pocket money for snacks, was truly a charitable act.
Such conditions were nowhere to be found outside.
"Don’t call me Miss Li anymore; it sounds too distant." Li Mumu said with increased cheer as she saw how smart he was.
"Sure thing, Sis!" Youtiao obliged smoothly.
If it weren’t for your thin skin, we could’ve just called you Sister-in-law straight away; it’s no big deal.
Seeing that Li Mumu didn’t object, Youtiao glanced back at the others: "Didn’t you guys hear what Sis said?"
"Heard it, Sis!"
The brothers answered in unison, their voices strong and clear.
Wang Yunxiao’s face turned dark; these damn fools had no restraint.
As expected, when Li Mumu turned around, smiling at him, the brothers’ gazes also shifted his way.
Their looks seemed to ask, Big brother, it’s your turn now, are you gonna call out or not? How tasty is the beef in soy sauce?
I, Wang Yunxiao, am an upright and unyielding man—how could you expect me to call her Sis?
A true man never sucks up to the powerful!
Li Mumu blinked and asked softly, "Classmate Wang, are we that distant? You won’t even call me by my name..."
"Mumu."
"???"
"Can I call you Mumu?"
Speaking of thick skin, when had Wang Yunxiao ever been at a disadvantage? He counterattacked immediately: "That’s much more intimate, don’t you think?"
"Eh?"
Li Mumu’s face turned red instantly.
Are you trying to kill me? Boldly using such an intimate name implies what sort of relationship? Too intimate! If this spreads, where will my reputation be?
Wang Yunxiao knocked on the table: "You all call her Sister Mumu!"
"Sister Mumu!"
The brothers echoed without any concern for making a big deal of the situation.
"Is that okay, Mumu?"
"No!"
