The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife
Chapter 177 Children of course don’t lie
Jiang Tingxia casually turned a page of the book. The rustling sound outside the house had been going on for a while. She felt a little upset, so she simply closed the book, stood up and walked out the door.
Jin Xiaowen was sweeping the yard with Jin Xiaoyu.
The broom for sweeping the yard was made by Li Changpu himself. It was very big. Jin Xiaowen was just slightly taller than the broom, so sweeping the yard looked very strenuous.
Jin Xiaoyu was not idle either. She was following her sister, sweeping with a small broom.
Seeing Jiang Tingxia coming out, Jin Xiaowen immediately called out, "Aunt."
Jin Xiaoyu followed her sister and shouted, "Aunt."
Jiang Tingxia nodded. Seeing the two children holding brooms in both hands, their little fingers were red from the cold, she frowned and said, "Aren't you cold? Come in."
Jin Xiaowen heard Jiang Tingxia say this and smiled broadly at her, "Aunt, we are not cold."
"It will be cleaned up immediately."
After saying that, he swept even harder with the broom.
"Why are you sweeping the yard outside in such cold weather?"
Seeing that the two were disobedient, Jiang Tingxia changed his tone to an order, "You two, put down your brooms and go into the house."
She added, "Otherwise, if others see it, they will think I am abusing you."
Jin Xiaowen was obedient. He put down the broom with his sister and followed Jiang Tingxia into the house.
Her tone was relaxed, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Tingxia, "Aunt, you are such a good person."
"Huh?" Jiang Tingxia looked at the little girl in confusion, not knowing why she said that.
Jin Xiaowen seemed to be thinking of something unhappy, his eyebrows drooped, "When I was in my hometown, my grandma, aunt, grandpa, and uncle were all mean to us. They made us work all the time and didn't allow us to eat."
She looked towards Jiang Tingxia with tears in her eyes, "Aunt, you are so good. You treat us very well. You feed us and don't let us work. You even care if we are cold."
Jiang Tingxia saw the expression on Jin Xiaowen's face when he looked at her, and her face was full of gratitude.
Jiang Tingxia felt a little embarrassed. She didn't do anything. She just felt uncomfortable seeing such young children working outside in the cold, so she asked the two sisters to come into the house.
Jin Xiaowen continued with a satisfied smile on his face, "In my hometown, we were always beaten, but here, we don't have to be beaten anymore."
Jiang Tingxia exclaimed, "Did someone beat you?"
Jin Xiaowen nodded.
Jiang Tingxia shook his head, "How miserable!"
Jiang Tingxia was a little bit unbelievable. Beating a child was too shameless.
Seeing this, Jin Xiaowen rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms were covered with purple pinch marks and whip marks.
Jiang Tingxia took a look and couldn't help but gasp, his face twisted.
New wounds added to old ones, layer upon layer, leaving marks that took a long time to disappear. One can imagine how much strength the person who beat them must have used and how painful it must have been for them.
The two sisters were still so young, and Jiang Tingxia simply couldn't imagine how cruel the people who beat them were.
Seeing Jiang Tingxia's eyes flickering, Jin Xiaowen rolled up his sister Jin Xiaoyu's sleeves and showed her to Jiang Tingxia. There was also the same hideous wound on her little arm.
Jiang Tingxia looked reluctant and asked, "Why are you so cruel? Aren't they your relatives?"
Jin Xiaowen was a little frustrated and shook his head. "We lived in their house, and they called us good-for-nothings who only knew how to eat and ate up all their food. They all hated us."
After Jin Xiaowen finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and began to shake his head frantically, explaining, "Aunt, it's not like what they said. In fact, we eat very little and can help with the work."
She argued, "I can do the laundry, cooking, sweeping the floor, and chopping wood."
Jin Xiaowen pleaded, "Don't be unhappy."
"If you think we eat too much, we can eat less."
Jiang Tingxia felt sad when she heard this. She looked at the child's exposed arms and asked, "Can you make a fire?"
Jin Xiaowen's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Tingxia and said, "Yes."
"I will," she said loudly again.
Jiang Tingxia looked at the two men's blackened arms, which had been covered with dirt for who knows how long, and said, "Then light a fire and boil a pot of hot water for you and your sister to take a bath."
After saying that, he went into the house.
Jin Xiaowen and Jin Xiaoyu followed behind her, their voices brightening, "Aunt, thank you."
Jiang Tingxia got goose bumps after hearing Jin Xiaowen say thank you eight hundred times. She just said, "Okay, light a fire and boil some water."
Jiang Tingxia found a few more clothes and said to the two sisters, "Put on these clothes after you take a shower."
"These are my old clothes. They are a little too big for you. Roll them up first and I'll make them a few pieces smaller so they will fit you."
Jin Xiaowen couldn't believe it. "For us?"
Jiang Tingxia nodded, "Yes."
Jin Xiaowen had tears in her eyes, and Jiang Tingxia stopped her immediately, "Stop crying in front of me."
In fact, these clothes were all her old clothes and were nothing special, but the little girl was so moved that Jiang Tingxia felt a little uncomfortable.
She looked at Jin Xiaowen and was about to speak, then said, "Don't even mention thank you. My ears are getting calluses from listening to you so much."
Jiang Tingxia said truthfully, "These clothes are all ones I don't wear. If I don't give them to you, I will throw them away. You can just wear them."
Jin Xiaowen looked at Jiang Tingxia with bright eyes and suddenly said, "Aunt, you are a fairy, right?"
Jiang Tingxia looked at the serious Jin Xiaowen and exclaimed.
Jin Xiaowen added, "You are so beautiful, kind, and good-hearted. Only fairies in heaven can be so good."
Jiang Tingxia burst out laughing after hearing this, with the corners of his mouth curled up, "You are so sweet, how come you are nothing like your uncle."
"Okay, go take a shower."
"By the way," she glanced at the thin clothes on Jin Xiaowen and Jin Xiaoyu. Not only were they not warm, but they were also covered with patches, just like they were picked up from a garbage dump. She said with disdain, "You don't need these clothes anymore. Throw them away."
This way, I don’t have to take off my clothes at night and shake off the dust all over my body, which will splash all over her face.
Jin Xiaowen looked at her clothes and felt reluctant to throw them away, as she only had these clothes.
But when Jiang heard Xia say that, and there were a few brightly colored new clothes on the side, she became happy again, "Thank you, aunt."
Jiang Tingxia said, "Go ahead and take your sister to get clean."
She added, "Apply the soap several times more."
The two children smelled very strongly, so Jiang Tingxia closed her nose when talking to them.
After the two children went to the bathroom, Jiang Tingxia took a mirror and looked at herself. She couldn't hide her smile and said to herself, "Of course children won't lie."
She recalled Jin Xiaowen's compliments to her and laughed out loud, "She is beautiful and kind-hearted!"
She agreed, “That’s true.”
After being happy for a while, Jiang Tingxia took the clothes prepared for the two sisters and started to alter them.
