Chapter 28 - 027 Weight Loss (Making up for the 500 extra from the day before yesterday)
Tian Sangsang propped her chin, squatting to the side as she asked, "Son, what did you feed the chickens?"
"Oh, Mom, it’s this." Meng Shuyan puffed out his little chest and extended his hand—a green caterpillar was squirming reluctantly in his palm.
"Ahhh! Ah—" Upon seeing what he was holding, Tian Sangsang let out a series of ear-piercing screams, jumped three feet high, and scrambled backward.
"Yanyan, quick, throw it away, it’s dangerous!" She pointed at the squirming bug, gagged once, and almost threw up.
Meng Shuyan blinked his shiny black eyes in confusion. He didn’t understand why his mom was so afraid of the little bug, but he obediently tossed it aside. The two chickens rolled around fighting over the caterpillar.
"Mommy~"
Tian Sangsang gasped in uncertainty, clutching at her fluttering heart. She finally walked over to Meng Shuyan, grabbed his small, soft hands to inspect them, kissed his little cheek, and pulled him into her embrace. It seemed only then her heart calmed down.
"Son, you must never do such dangerous things again, okay? How could you catch bugs like that?"
Meng Shuyan lifted his head from her embrace, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Then if I don’t catch bugs, can I catch worms to feed the chickens?"
"No, absolutely not." Tian Sangsang trembled violently.
