Chapter 264: Is This a String of Misfortunes?
Mrs. Zeng didn’t know how to console Yuan Bao, so she ended up saying nothing.
Yuan Bao didn’t make any fuss either, as there was really no need.
After all, she’s not Silver, she can’t make everyone like her.
...
That night, Yuan Bao slept soundly as usual.
The matter of Mrs. Li moving in was forgotten as soon as she closed her eyes.
It wasn’t until she woke up in the morning, during breakfast, that Yuan Bao recalled Mrs. Li had fallen and injured herself, and was staying at the residence.
After breakfast, Yuan Bao’s cousins were all taken by Old Yuan to enter school.
Mrs. Zeng went to the courtyard where Mrs. Li was temporarily staying.
The Song Family and Mrs. Peng also went along to keep Mrs. Li company.
As for Yuan Bao, as usual, she was invited over by the Wei Family.
During this period, Yuan Bao went to the Wei Family every day. Although she was still young, due to her precociousness, she followed Wei Qiqi in learning from their female teacher and found it quite enjoyable.
Of course, Yuan Bao mainly listened to the teacher talk about various knowledge.
As for skills like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Yuan Bao hadn’t tried them herself, as she was genuinely too young.
When Yuan Bao arrived at the Wei Family, she unexpectedly found her second uncle and third uncle were also there.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle!"
Seeing Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi, Yuan Bao excitedly waved at them and ran over with her little short legs.
"Jiaojiao?!"
The brothers were quite surprised to see Yuan Bao there as well.
"Why are you here?"
Regarding Yuan Bao recognizing Wei Shiyu and the Shen Family’s daughter as her godparents, Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi genuinely did not know.
"I came to play!"
Yuan Bao looked happily at her two uncles in military uniform, blinked, and said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, what are you doing here?"
"No, girl, how did you come to play here?"
"Who brought you here?"
Yuan Laidi thought this needed clarification.
Only then did Yuan Bao explain about recognizing Wei Shiyu as her godparent.
After hearing Yuan Bao’s explanation, Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi were somewhat dumbfounded.
"Girl, your luck is incredible!"
Getting in with the Wei Family, this was really a meteoric rise.
"Of course, my luck has always been good."
Yuan Bao was not modest about it.
Unfortunately, Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi were at the Wei Family for official business, so even though Yuan Bao wanted to stay a bit longer with them, it obviously wasn’t possible.
However, from Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi, Yuan Bao learned a piece of news: Yuan Shougui had also fallen and broke his arm.
When Yuan Bao learned about this, she was almost dumbfounded.
Mrs. Li had fallen and her bones were fractured, so she could only lie still to heal.
And Yuan Shougui, who was Mrs. Li’s eldest son, had also fallen.
Is this what they call misfortunes never come singly?
Or is this karma catching up?
Because of this, Yuan Bao was somewhat absent-minded the entire day, and it wasn’t until she left the Wei Family that she still hadn’t decided whether to tell Mrs. Li about it.
Mrs. Li herself was now a patient, and if she found out her dearly beloved eldest son had broken his arm, she might get anxious and upset, which wouldn’t be conducive to her recovery.
Back at the Yuan Family, Yuan Bao still decided to tell her grandparents about it.
As for whether they would tell Mrs. Li, that was not something Yuan Bao could control.
That night, Yuan Bao again slept soundly.
But Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng had a bit of insomnia, as the two of them were also deliberating whether to tell Mrs. Li.
Of course, after discussing it, Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng agreed to first inform their eldest son, and as for whether to tell their daughter-in-law, they decided to listen to their eldest son’s opinion.
