Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Yuan Shoucheng: Dad, Why Are You So Useless?
"Dad, Dad, did you find this?"
"Can I touch it?"
Yuan Shoucheng, being the oldest, tallest, and longest-legged among the group of kids, naturally ran the fastest. He was the first to arrive, and seeing the Golden Eagle being held by his dad, his face was beaming with excitement.
Previously, Yuan Shoucheng wanted to touch You Cang, but You Cang was very aloof and ignored him, and his little cousin was too stingy to help them.
But now, this big eagle was even larger and looked more majestic than his little cousin’s.
"Uh, I didn’t find this!"
Despite noticing his son’s eager gaze, Yuan Shoucheng had to be honest.
"Dad, how can you be so useless!"
Yuan Shoucheng, who had been elated just a moment ago, suddenly dropped his face.
"You brat, what did you say?"
Yuan Wangdi’s eyes widened.
Being despised by his own son, this brat must be itching for a lesson.
Yuan Laidi saw this, chuckled, and said, "Second Brother, I’m telling you, this brat just needs some disciplining!"
"Third Uncle, you don’t keep your word!"
"Lying to kids, I’m going to tell Grandma!"
Seeing his Third Uncle being untrustworthy, Yuan Shoucheng turned and ran.
"You brat, you’ve learned to tattle now, huh?"
Yuan Laidi pretended to grab Yuan Shoucheng, scaring him into running for dear life.
Encountering Yuan Shouyi and a bunch of little friends head-on, Yuan Shoucheng didn’t say a word, focusing only on returning to tattle.
Then, when Yuan Shouyi and the other kids learned that it was Yuan Bao who found this big Golden Eagle, they all seemed disappointed. They couldn’t touch such a great Golden Eagle anymore!
The kids didn’t recognize the Golden Eagle, but they couldn’t resist listening to Yuan Laidi, who loved narrating.
However, even though the kids couldn’t touch the Golden Eagle, they stayed surrounding it, staring eagerly.
Yuan Bao initially worried that the Golden Eagle would become anxious seeing so many people.
Turns out, she was overthinking it.
The Golden Eagle remained calm, or rather, exceptionally aloof.
Alright, Yuan Bao thought it over slightly and understood.
In the eyes of the Golden Eagle, this group of kids was no different from its food.
It’s as if a lion was facing a flock of sheep. Would a mighty lion be scared by too many sheep around? Even for an injured lion, it wouldn’t be afraid.
...
When the group returned to the Yuan Family’s home, the family had already received the news, thanks to Yuan Shoucheng, the expert tattletale.
Upon returning, Yuan Wangdi received a light tap from their mother’s rolling pin, blamed for not knowing boundaries, letting Yuan Bao run into the mountains like that.
"Grandma, I was wrong!"
Seeing his Second Uncle being lovingly reprimanded because of her, Yuan Bao quickly admitted her fault.
After all, all of this was indeed her doing.
"Mom, I was wrong, I promise it won’t happen again!"
When his eldest niece admitted her mistake, Yuan Wangdi was both relieved and, of course, had to admit his mistake too—otherwise getting through their mother would be tough.
When the family learned that Yuan Bao had brought home not an ordinary eagle, but a Golden Eagle, their eyes sparkled with excitement.
Previously, Yuan Bao had saved You Cang, and wild game would often be delivered to their door. Now, having saved a Golden Eagle, which was much more formidable than an ordinary eagle, what kind of gifts would this Golden Eagle bring once it recovered?
The whole family was overjoyed, except for Mrs. Xiao Li who hid in her room.
Most people thought Mrs. Xiao Li was too embarrassed to come out.
But who would have thought, Mrs. Xiao Li wasn’t embarrassed, she firmly believed that Yuan Bao was cursing her again!
In Mrs. Xiao Li’s view, every time Yuan Bao had good luck, it was to her detriment.
