Dressed As the Villain’s Mother

Ji Zhile ran away, leaving only Ji Ningyi and Zhu Pan in the vegetable garden.

Zhu Pan glanced in the direction Ji Zhile was running away from, but she continued to ladle the water and vegetables without saying a word.

Ji Ningyi said, “You shouldn’t have said that about Zhile just now.”

“He just wanted to water the vegetables.”

Zhu Pan’s expression was indifferent: “I’m not lying, he did fall down and cried. He must be suing the adults now.”

“Anyway, my younger brothers are like this. It’s very annoying.”

Ji Ningyi was silent for a moment, pursed his lips lightly, and walked towards the villa without saying a word.

Ji Zhile was crying and his mother and grandmother were asking him: “Why did you fall down? Go change your clothes.”

Ji Zhile said sobbingly, “My new clothes and pants are all dirty.”

Si Tian looked at the child’s sad appearance of crying. His face was also spent, obviously when wiping his tears, he brought the dirt on his hand to his face, which looked very funny.

Si Tian held back her smile and said comfortingly, “It’s okay, it will be new again after washing.”

Ji Zhile’s eyes were red, but his tone was very serious: “It’s not new clothes after washing.”

At this time, Aunt Fang also came out of the kitchen when she heard the movement, saw Ji Zhile’s appearance at a glance, and asked quickly: “What’s wrong?”

Ji Ningyi simply explained: “Just now when we were watering the vegetables outside, Zhile accidentally slipped and fell.”

“Panpan, why didn’t you help?” After finishing speaking, Aunt Fang shouted Zhu Pan’s name loudly, and when the little girl came in, she complained for a while.

“Panpan, didn’t I ask you to take care of Zhile and Ningyi, why did you make them fall?”

Ji Ningyi explained: “Grandma, it wasn’t Panpan who fell down, it was Zhile who accidentally fell down. It has nothing to do with Panpan.”

“It doesn’t matter. Panpan is older than you, so she must take care of you more. She also works a lot, so she is very familiar with these things.” Aunt Fang said disapprovingly.

Ji Ningyi frowned. He did not know why Panpan’s Grandma always said that Panpan was wrong, obviously, it had nothing to do with her.

When Ji Ningyi looked at Zhu Pan, she stood beside her grandma and lowered her head, as if she had already habitually admitted her mistake. But Ji Ningyi thought that she did not feel that she had done something wrong. Just now when the three of them were outside, Zhu Pan seemed to have expected this scene and even laughed at Ji Zhile, but Ji Ningyi did not say anything.

“Aunt Fang.” After hearing a few words, Si Tian could not help but speak up, “This has nothing to do with Panpan. Children will inevitably fall down and get dirty when they make a fuss. Just change into other clothes and take a bath. Don’t talk about Panpan.”

Aunt Fang immediately showed a smiling face: “Thank you.”

She pushed Zhu Pan’s shoulder again: “Panpan hurry up and thank you.”

“No thanks.” Si Tian took Ji Zhile and walked upstairs.

Ji Zhile did not cry anymore, but his eyes were still red. When he followed his mother upstairs and stepped on the stairs, he stopped and turned his head to look at Zhu Pan.

The little girl who had been scaring him in the vegetable garden just now did not say a word. Ji Zhile did not speak just now, because there were too many people and Zhu Pan was also there.

As soon as he spoke, he must have exposed the fact that he had cried. Ji Zhile also had to protect his own face.

Si Tian heard from her mother-in-law that there were Ji Zhile’s clothes here, so she found them and asked Ji Zhile to take a bath.

When he took off his coat, Ji Zhile still felt a little pain in his heart. He touched the tail of the dinosaur with his little hand. He was wearing a long sleeve underneath, but when he was about to take it off, he felt shy and looked at Si Tian quietly with his round eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

Ji Zhile said, “Mom, don’t watch me take a bath.”

Si Tian could not help laughing out: “Have I seen enough?”

Ji Zhile’s eyes rolled: “But compared to before, I have grown up. I even watered the vegetables today.”

“Okay.” Si Tian said, “But you have to wash your hair, there is also dirt on it.”

“Are you sure you can wash your hair yourself?”

Ji Zhile gave in: “Mom, help me.”

Ji Zhile sat in the bathtub, covered his shoulders with a cloth, and Si Tian squeezed out shampoo to wash his hair.

Ji Zhile has fluffy and soft hair, slightly curly, which feels particularly good to the touch, and looks like a little lamb when wet.

Si Tian had not washed the child’s hair before, but she felt that the situation was very similar to the cat in the short video where the owner bathed the cat or the kind of very well-behaved cat.

Just as Si Tian was thinking this way.

“Wow–”

Ji Zhile slapped his hand, deliberately splashing a puddle of water.

With a kick, he got some water out of the bathtub and then poured the water outside with his hands. He had a great time playing with himself, which was quite reasonable: “Mom, I’m practicing watering vegetables.”

Si Tian wanted to stop him, but when she thought of something, she asked again: “What happened to you outside just now?”

Ji Zhile said excitedly: “I got to know a lot of vegetables and even watered them.”

He focused on how he knew vegetables, how he carried buckets, how he watered, and then lightly skipped how he fell down.

The child’s voice dropped again: “Mom, why did Grandma criticize Panpan?”

Although Ji Zhile doesn’t like Panpan, he also feels strange to see her being criticized.

Si Tian thought for a while and said, “Maybe some parents will habitually criticize their children first and find reasons for themselves.”

Ji Zhile said: “Why, why criticize if there is nothing wrong?”

He added in a low voice: “I fell accidentally.”

The voice muttered: “Mom, I don’t like Panpan. She won’t let me water or carry a bucket and says that I will sue if I fall.”

“I didn’t sue!”

Si Tian realized something and said, “Yes, Zhile didn’t sue. Just do whatever you want, even if you don’t do it well, it doesn’t matter.”

Ji Zhile was very happy: “Mom, I will take you to see our watered vegetables.”

Si Tian said, “Okay, but you have to take a shower first.”

Translator’s Comment:

Huhuhu… Panpan, what a poor child!

Oh… I also remembered my childhood memories when I took the blame for my younger brother’s fault! (◣_◢)

But, my older siblings would also be blamed for my mistakes  Hehe…

I think these scenes happen a lot in the family with many children.

Did you guys have these experiences?
