Adorable Twins: A Hunter's Wife Has Space-Chapter 29: Bad Things Come in Succession

Su Li heard their cries and she hurriedly put on her shoes and walked to their room.

He Dahu and He Erhu were crying loudly as they huddled at the side of the bed.

"It's alright, it's alright." Su Li took off her shoes and got onto the bed. She hugged both of them and gently patted their backs.

"Mother, I'm scared!" He Erhu hugged Su Li.

At this moment, He Erhu had thrown all his previous fear to the back of his mind. He even forgot how Su Li had despised them and warned them time and time again not to address her as their mother.

Mother?

Su Li was stunned for a moment when she heard this term.

After coming to this world for so long, the two brothers had never addressed her in this way. Whenever they did, they used the term 'she' or 'her'.

"Mother, I'm so scared too!" He Dahu also hugged Su Li.

Su Li patted the two of them lightly and said, "Don't be afraid, mother is here!"

As for these two kids who were deprived of love, Su Li was willing to share her love with them.

She was very mischievous when she was young. She had done many naughty acts but she never got scolded or beaten because her grandfather always protected her. 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢

If not, basing on how mischievous she was, she would've been beaten up three times daily.

Thinking of which, Su Li was reminded of that cute but a little stubborn old man. She wondered if he would be sad that she suddenly passed away.

"Mother!"

"Yes."

"Mother—"

"I'm here!"

Su Li yawned as she gently patted their backs. It was only until she heard snores that she sat her numb body up.

Before she could get off the bed, a little hand had already grabbed the corner of her shirt.

"Mother, don't go!"

Su Li turned around and took a glance. The person holding onto her was He Erhu. His eyes were closed but he was still talking. She thought that he must be dreaming.

"I'm not leaving, go and sleep!"

Su Li laid down again. It was still raining heavily outside. Her eyelids became increasingly heavier and she yawned, falling asleep with He Erhu in her arms.

She didn't sleep well the whole night.

Before Su Li opened her eyes, she felt someone staring at her.

When she opened her eyes, she saw He Dahu and He Erhu staring at her with their bright eyes.

Su Li laughed as she said, "Why are the both of you up so early? The weather is good today, you should sleep a while more. Children need to sleep more so they will grow taller."

"Mother, you hugged us to sleep last night?"

The question was asked by He Erhu. At that moment, he looked like a cat who had successfully stolen some fish.

Su Li smiled as she said, "Yes, I'm scared of the thunder, so I came over for the both of you to protect me!"

Hearing her words, He Dahu and He Erhu lifted their chests.

"Mother, don't worry, we are strong men. We can definitely protect you well."

The two brothers had completely forgotten how badly they had cried last night.

Su Li didn't expose them as well. She smiled and replied, "Okay, I believe that both of you can protect me well."

Receiving her confirmation, the two brothers were like war chickens, filled with pride.

After she got out of bed, Su Li took out the flour. She added some warm water to it and started making noodles. She intended to make them for her and the children.

In her past life, she would try out recipes when she had nothing to do. She didn't dare to brag about others but making normal dishes was nothing hard for her.

While she was kneading the noodles, the two brothers kept hovering around her. They stared at her with their shining bright eyes.

"Why are the both of you staring at me like that? Su Li asked the children.

He Dahu said with admiration, "Mother, you're so beautiful. I feel that you're the most beautiful person in the world."

He Erhu quickly continued, "Yes, I also think that Mother is the best looking person in the world. Even Ergou's mother isn't as good looking as you."

Su Li laughed as she said, "Both of you are the most obedient children in my eyes too. No one else in the world can compare to the both of you."

"Really?" The brothers asked in unison.

Su Li looked at their eager expressions and nodded vigorously. "Of course, you're my good babies."

"Hehe!"

Both He Dahu and He Erhu covered their mouths and giggled.

Su Li looked at them lovingly and shook her head.

After eating, the rain still hadn't stopped.

Drip drop! Drip drop!

Drops and drops of rain fell on Su Li's head.

She looked up and another drop of rain fell down. This time, it landed right on her face.

She stuck out her hand to wipe off the rain from her face.

She took a close look around and realized that the rain was too heavy for the grass roof. The roof could no longer take the water and the rain went through the roof, dripping into the house.

"Sigh!" Su Li couldn't help but sigh.

When it rains, it pours. When someone is unlucky, everything and anything can go bad!

He Dahu and He Erhu were very sensible and took out the basin at home to catch the rain so that the house would not be wet.

"In the past..."

Su Li paused and asked, "Did this happen often in the past?"

The two brothers did not understand why she asked that suddenly, but they still answered her honestly.

"Every time the rain is heavy this happens, but when the sun comes out, it'll be fine."

He Dahu gave it a thought and added, "Mother, don;t worry. The weather should become sunny soon."

Su Li looked at the rain that continuously dripped in. Her emotions felt as if they were on a roller coaster.

The rain did not look like it was intending to stop anytime soon. The rain in the house was also getting bigger. Even her bed was not safe from it.

There was nothing in the house that could be used to stop the rain. It was not feasible for her to try to fix the roof now too. Su Li could only use the leftover materials from the time He Yufeng made tables to protect the bed.

Although it wasn't very effective, at least the place she sleeps on wasn't wet. If not, how was she going to sleep at night!

After doing everything she could, they could only wait for the rain to stop.

Su Li had nothing to do now, thus she took out two black coals from the stove. She decided to teach the two kids some words. Both of them are already three years old but they couldn't read any words. They only knew how to play with mud every day. If this continues, they are really going to become illiterate.

Su Li waved to the two brothers who were busy trying to catch the rainwater. "Don't bother about it, come over to me. Let me teach the both of you how to read."

The two brothers put down the basins in their hands and walked over to Su Li's side obediently.

"Mother, you can read?" He Erhu asked.

Su Li smiled smugly. "Of course. Look at who your mother is!"

She still had to thank that old man. If he didn't force her to take classes in the past and made her learn so many things, she wouldn't be as knowledgeable now. She even had to learn traditional Chinese and calligraphy a few times. During that time, she really hated learning these, but now that she thought of it, learning these was really the most appropriate decision she made.

"Mother is so amazing!"

"Mother is really the best, the most amazing mother in the world!"

The two brothers' praises were given to her as if they were free.

Su Li found these words really familiar. She felt as if she had heard them somewhere.

Ah, she recalled it. Weren't these words ones that the two brothers used to praise He Yufeng? They just changed the father to mother.

Su Li rubbed the space between her eyebrows. So she was just a tool?

"Mother, what are we learning now?"

He Dahu was already very excited. He wanted to study and was thirsty for it.

Father told them that studying was the only way out. However, they had no money to hire a teacher and they also couldn't attend school as they had no money to pay school fees.
