I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 258: Unable to eat, fed with insects

When Yuan Xiu arrived, the brother and sister were still sobbing and crying.

Fearing that the two children might bother the other children if they stayed in the classroom, the teacher took them to the office.

This really distressed the other teachers in the office.

There are only these twins in the whole kindergarten. They are well-behaved, always dressed neatly, and have a sweet tongue. They greet the teachers whenever they see them. Although they are a little mischievous, they are not naughty in their class!

Apart from the teachers in their own class, the other teachers only ever saw the well-behaved side of these two children.

They tried to coax them with candy and hugs, but none of them could be appeased; they wouldn't even eat the candy.

Until Yuan Xiu came...

"Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi's mother are here..."

Before the teacher could finish speaking, Zhizhi threw herself into her mother's arms like a little firecracker, sobbing and saying, "Brother is crying."

Yuan Xiu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tear-reddened little face. "Mommy knows, Mommy's here."

The two little ones cried until they were covered in sweat.

Qiaoqiao sat on the stool without moving, just pouting repeatedly, looking extremely aggrieved.

Yuan Xiu lifted her son up, sat down herself, and then placed him on her lap. She placed her fingers on his soft wrist. "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?"

The teacher hurriedly said, "I asked him, but he wouldn't say why he was crying. At lunchtime, I noticed he hadn't eaten a single bite, so I asked him a couple of questions, and suddenly he started crying. I don't know why."

Qiaoqiao remained silent and buried her head in her mother's arms.

Zhizhi stood close to her mother's legs, reaching out her little hand to gently touch her brother's head, saying, "Be a good boy!"

When her mother arrived, she stopped crying.

Yuan Xiu didn't realize there was anything wrong. She loosened her grip and pulled Qiao Qiao closer, asking, "Why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"

Hungry……

Qiaoqiao nodded her little head.

"Then why aren't you eating? Is your stomach upset?" Yuan Xiu pressed his tummy again. "Tell Mommy where it hurts."

Qiaoqiao shook his head, not daring to say why he wasn't eating, afraid that his mother would scold him.

The pulse is normal, and there's no discomfort in my stomach, so why is that?

The teacher said, "When we asked him, he said the same thing. But now that you're here, at least he's stopped crying."

Yuan Xiu looked down at her son, who was nestled obediently in her arms. "I think I should take him to the hospital. It looks like he'll need an injection."

Upon hearing that she was going to get a shot, Zhizhi touched her little bottom and took two steps back, hissing softly.

Nestled in her mother's arms, Qiaoqiao's little body stiffened. "Waaah! No shot!"

She cried and wailed while clinging tightly to her mother.

"You're not eating, you're probably sick. Mom will definitely take you to get a shot. Don't be afraid, Qiaoqiao. It's not like it's the first time we've had a shot. You'll feel better after the shot, and then you can eat your delicious food again." Yuan Xiu said, picking him up and standing up.

Qiaoqiao quickly slipped out of her mother's arms and hid inside a desk.

Yuan Xiu: "..."

"Qiaoqiao! Come out."

Zhizhi followed and squatted down inside, earnestly advising her brother, "Brother, don't be afraid, go get your shot!"

Qiaoqiao gave her sister a resentful look: "If you're not afraid, go ahead and fight."

Zhizhi waved her hand: "I haven't stopped eating, I'm perfectly fine!"

She sounded so proud.

The teachers in the office absolutely adore it.

Yuan Xiu deliberately frowned, "Qiaoqiao, Mommy will count to three. If you don't come out, Mommy will be angry. One, two..."

Laozi said that the Shu Road Mountain was still very useful, and Qiaoqiao walked out looking aggrieved.

My eyes are brimming with tears; I feel like crying again.

"If you don't want a shot, tell Mom the truth." Yuan Xiu squatted down and continued to ask him, "Why aren't you eating? Why are you crying?"

Qiaoqiao pouted, "I can't eat to feed the bugs."

Yuan Xiu: "?"

Teacher: "Could it be roundworms? That shouldn't be the case. Our kindergarten started feeding the children pagoda-shaped sugar pills shortly after opening."

Yuan Xiu continued, "Who said you have worms in your stomach? We ate deworming candy, and we're clean and hygienic, so you won't have worms in your stomach."

Qiaoqiao felt even more aggrieved; it wasn't the worms in her belly.

The little one's defenses crumbled, and she burst into tears, reaching out to hug her mother's neck. "Qiaoqiao was naughty! Qiaoqiao ate so much candy, and now she has worms in her teeth!"

Yuan Xiu: "..."

Teachers: "..."

Zhizhi: "...Wow!" (Surprised!)

Only after Yuan Xiu's repeated assurances did Qiao Qiao believe that she didn't have worms in her teeth and that eating food wouldn't feed the worms.

but……

"Didn't I give you the candy? Where did you get it from?"

Knowing that there were no worms in her teeth, Qiaoqiao relaxed completely, grabbed her sister's hand, and happily jumped around, saying, "I took it from the drawer while standing on the little stool."

Yuan Xiu: "Jiangnan Qiao!"

Qiaoqiao: "Mommy, I was wrong!"

Little Qiaoqiao was quick to admit her mistake, raising her little hand and repeatedly promising, "I will never steal candy again, and I don't want worms in my teeth."

Yuan Xiu hadn't said anything yet.

Zhizhi patted Qiaoqiao's shoulder earnestly: "Brother, you have to be good!"

Yuan Xiu: "..."

The food in Qiaoqiao's lunchbox had long since gone cold. The chefs in the kindergarten cafeteria had all gone off work, and the charcoal fire had been extinguished, so Yuanxiu took the two children out to eat at a restaurant.

It wasn't particularly late at this time of day, and the restaurants were still open.

Yuan Xiu found a small shop that specializes in selling dumplings.

The dumpling shop has a small storefront, with only two tables inside. The cutting board and stove for making dumplings are outside the door.

The dumpling shop was run by a young married woman. When she saw Yuan Xiu and her child arrive, the owner warmly invited them inside to sit down.

"What kind of dumplings do you want? We have chive and egg dumplings, cabbage and pork dumplings, and zucchini dumplings. They all taste good."

Yuan Xiu ordered a portion of cabbage and pork dumplings. The portions were large, about half a pound per serving.

Qiaoqiao definitely couldn't finish it all by herself, so Yuanxiu gave Zhizhi chopsticks and poured a dish of vinegar for them to eat slowly.

There were no other customers in the shop. The owner chatted with her with a smile, "You've raised your two children so well, they must be twins, a boy and a girl."

Yuan Xiu nodded, "Yes."

"They look so lovely! My child is about the same age as yours..."

When it comes to children, there's a lot to talk about, mostly the boss. Anyone who dares to open a shop at this point in time is definitely eloquent and talkative.

After talking about her child, she turned to her shop, "...When I first mentioned opening the shop, none of my family members agreed. They were afraid the policies would suddenly change again. My wife almost divorced me, but I said, 'Fine, let's get divorced. I'm still going to open the shop...'"
