Not only did they have to wash their feet together, but they also had to wash each other’s feet? As soon as Mu Jingzhe said that, Shao Xi and Shao Nan bristled and refused in unison. “No.”

They didn’t even want to wash together, let alone wash each other’s feet.

“You have to wash tonight. You have to listen to me.” Mu Jingzhe was unyielding.

At her request, the two of them unwillingly took off their shoes and placed their feet in the water. However, they decided that they wouldn’t forgive each other even if they washed their feet together.

“Alright, wash each other now,” Mu Jingzhe added.

This successfully angered the two of them again.. This time, not only Shao Xi, but even Shao Nan found it difficult to accept this.

“No way. Mommy, I can’t wash his feet.”

“Me neither. I’d rather stand as punishment than wash his feet.”

“No, I want you to wash each other’s feet.” Mu Jingzhe insisted.

Shao Xi looked at Shao Nan and pulled Mu Jingzhe’s hand. “You might as well hit me. Mommy, hit me. I am aware of my mistake.”

He pulled Mu Jingzhe’s hand and hit her head. “Go ahead and hit me, Mommy.” If other children fought and made a mistake, they might get hit. He would rather get beaten up than wash Shao Nan’s smelly feet today.

Mu Jingzhe was exasperated. “What’s all this talk about hitting you? What if you get brain damage from the beating? I’m a civilized parent. I won’t hit a child for no reason. I’m civilized.”

That said, she pulled away from Shao Xi’s hand. However, just as she broke free, she was held back by Shao Nan.

“Mommy, I was really wrong this time. I won’t do it again. But can you not punish me this way? I can write a self-reflection essay.”

Shao Nan shook Mu Jingzhe’s hand schemingly and blinked. In the end, he even pouted and deliberately attacked Mu Jingzhe with his cuteness. He schemed and pretended to be cute again to escape this dreadful punishment.

Shao Xi was dumbfounded. Why hadn’t he thought of this? Just as he was about to pull Mu Jingzhe, he saw her take a step back.

“Okay, don’t mess around by doing these useless things. If you hadn’t wasted all this time trying to wiggle your way out of this, you would’ve been done washing by now.”

Mu Jingzhe was really almost blown away by Shao Nan’s cuteness. Shao Nan was usually quite cool, but when he occasionally charmed her, she really couldn’t take it.

Fortunately, in the end, she pinched herself and successfully woke up. She didn’t agree to it on impulse.

“Hurry up.” Mu Jingzhe urged them with a straight face.

Shao Xi and Shao Nan were desperate. Shao Nan felt even more disbelief. He hadn’t expected that his shameless act of cuteness wouldn’t work.

Their faces were filled with doubts about life. Meanwhile, Mu Jingzhe continued to urge them. “Hurry up. The water is getting cold. I don’t usually see you act like this. Why are you so wishy-washy this time? Are you guys still men?”

Shao Xi and Shao Nan glared at each other. Seeing that they really couldn’t escape, they could only resign themselves to their fate and lower their heads. In the end, when they lowered their heads, they bumped into each other. “Ah.”

The two of them yelped and kept rubbing their heads as they looked at Mu Jingzhe. Their expressions were pitiful enough to make Mu Jingzhe’s heart soften.

In the end, Mu Jingzhe didn’t even look at them. Instead, she looked down at her fingers. “I’ll count to three. If you still don’t move, then you can wash each other’s feet for the next year as well…”

Before she even finished her sentence, Shao Xi and Shao Nan immediately stopped being pitiful and, after shooting a glare at each other, quickly reached out and washed each other’s feet. They didn’t want to wash the other party’s smelly feet for a year. If they washed those smelly feet for a year, even their hands would stink!

However, just as they reached out to help, the furious expressions on their faces were unconsciously distorted. They felt truly itchy.

One had to know that a person’s feet were the most sensitive, especially the soles of their feet. One wouldn’t feel anything when they touched them themselves, but when others touched them, they would feel the most sensitive and itchy. In the past, when they’d washed together, other than stepping on each other, they’d also deliberately tickled each other.

The two of them had almost bumped into each other at the same time, so they also felt itchy at the same time. They both bit down hard to prevent themselves from laughing out loud. Alas, it was too late for regrets.

How could they have forgotten about the itch?

They wanted to laugh, but they held themselves back. At that moment, whoever laughed would lose.

The two of them froze in tacit understanding and didn’t move, but Mu Jingzhe was watching. She squatted down and looked at them. “Why aren’t you moving? Don’t stop moving. Quick, wash your feet. I told you before that you have to wash the middle part of your feet well too. Hurry up and move. I’m watching.”

When Shao Dong heard that, he almost burst out laughing, his originally ugly countenance changing. It looked like the dark clouds were clearing up.

He had always been in charge of them in the past. This time, Shao Xi and Shao Nan wouldn’t listen to him and had even kept quarreling. Shao Dong felt quite terrible. In the end, Mu Jingzhe used this trick.

Mu Jingzhe’s casual words had forced the two brats to wish they could be like Sun Wukong1 in the 72 Transformations and use all sorts of tricks, but in the end, they’d still ended up like this. Shao Dong wanted to laugh when he saw the way they had puffed up from anger.

Look what they’d gotten for quarreling. They’d turned into frogs now, hadn’t they?

Shao Dong bit his lips and held back his laughter. Xiao Wu and Little Bei’s eyes darted around. Seeing that Mu Jingzhe was squatting there, they squatted over and looked at her with their chins propped up. “Second Brother, Third Brother, wash up quickly.”

“That’s right. Second Brother, Third Brother, wash up quickly.” After urging them, Xiao Wu glanced at them and commented seriously, “Second Brother, Third Brother, you guys have puffed up so much from anger that you look like frogs now.”

Shao Xi and Shao Nan, who couldn’t help but puff up from anger because they were suppressing their laughter, were speechless.

Xiao Wu and Little Bei seemed to think that this wasn’t enough. After saying that, the two of them started croaking in unison.

Shao Xi and Shao Nan almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This made their cheeks puff up even more.

Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Nan and Shao Xi, who had puffed up from anger. Then, she listened to Xiao Wu and Little Bei, who were calling out, croaking like frogs on the side. She felt like she was among a group of frogs in the fields. Plus, it was really… really funny. Especially when she saw that Shao Xi and Shao Nan really bore a shocking resemblance to frogs. Little frogs whose faces were red from holding in their anger to boot.

In the end, Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but extend her evil hands and poke Shao Xi and Shao Nan’s puffed-up mouths with each hand.

As she poked them, she screamed internally: ‘Ah, so cute!’

Shao Xi and Shao Nan had been trying their best to hold back their laughter. Now, their efforts went to waste because of Mu Jingzhe, Xiao Wu, and Little Bei.

“Mom!”

“Little Bei, Xiao Wu, shut up!”

The two of them shouted helplessly. However, when Xiao Wu and Little Bei saw their reaction, they croaked even more happily. Meanwhile, Mu Jingzhe looked like she was watching a show.

Shao Xi cast an aggrieved, pleading look at Shao Dong, wanting him to speak up for them. However, Shao Dong squatted down expressionlessly. “I also want to see if you’ve washed them clean.”

Actually, he was merely doing this to take a closer look at the two little frogs. Just now, he almost hadn’t been able to hold himself back from croaking with Little Bei and Xiao Wu. When he had seen Mu Jingzhe poking their faces, which were puffed up from anger, he had been really tempted to poke them himself.

Shao Dong was expressionless, but his eyes were shining as he looked at the two of them. He was a little tempted, so he was hoping that their cheeks would puff up from anger again.

Shao Xi and Shao Nan, who accidentally sensed his anticipation, were speechless.

“…”

Big Brother had actually become wicked too! How could he act like this!
