Chapter 247 - 167 Liancourt_2
Qian Yixiu knew she couldn’t stray half a step from her mother today, and diligently sat next to her, starting to work on her netting. Her fingers weren’t very nimble yet, and she didn’t feel like handling the embroidery needle. She certainly didn’t want to end up like Duo Duo, with her fingers full of needle pricks.
As her mother bent over the work in her hands, she would occasionally raise her head to gaze quietly at her daughter for a while. Qian Yixiu would then look up and give her mother a brilliant smile. Seeing this, her mother’s lips would purse into a smile, then she’d lower her head again to continue her work.
Even when Duo Duo the loli came to find Qian Yixiu to play, she would only sit with Duo Duo under the shade of a tree within her mother’s sight. Whenever she saw her mother peering at her from the small window, she would wave with a smile.
Qian Yixiu felt as if they were the ones acting coy with their mother.
On the third day, her mother seemed reassured that her daughter would not leave her, and Qian Yixiu finally had the chance to go out and enjoy the scenery. She walked around the family compound with Zi Zhu and later went to Qian’s Main Courtyard to play with Qian Manduo for a while.
In the evening, as the family was enjoying the cool breeze and chatting in the courtyard, they suddenly saw Tiaotiao run into the middle of the courtyard and let out a long howl.
Everyone was not startled by this behavior, knowing it meant that Tiaotiao’s father, White Wolf, had come home.
Su Siwu, who had never seen such a scene before, quivered with fear and, with a trembling voice, said, "Third Uncle Qian, we should hide, a wolf is coming."
Qian Sangui waved his hand and said, "Don’t be scared, Siwu. Tiaotiao is the son of Dashan and a wolf; White Wolf often comes to visit our home."
