The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415: Chapter 391, Visitor from the Yan Family_1

After lunch, Xiao Yeyang was punished by Gu Jian to wash the dishes.

Watching Xiao Yeyang dutifully clean up the dining table, Daohua stood to the side, secretly amused. However, her joy was short-lived as she noticed her master staring at her and she immediately offered an embarrassed smile.

Gu Jian snorted and said, “It takes two hands to clap. He made mistakes, but you are at fault too. Go to the kitchen and help stoke the fire.”

Daohua: “…Yes.”

Defu and Wang Manman wanted to follow and help, but they were both intimidated by Gu Jian’s sharp gaze and backed away.

In the kitchen, after Daohua had prepared the hot water for washing the dishes, Xiao Yeyang finished tidying up the dining table.

Looking at the stacked bowls, chopsticks, and plates, Xiao Yeyang felt at a loss as to where to begin. He had become quite skilled at stoking the fire, but this was his first attempt at washing dishes.

Looking at Daohua, who was sitting behind the stove, he asked, “How should I wash these?”

Daohua: “You can wash them one by one, or put them all in together to wash.”

Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment, “Let’s wash them all together, it’s faster that way.” Having said that, he dumped all the dishes, chopsticks, and plates into the hot water at once.

Not having a good grasp of the weight, he soon got his sleeves wet.

Daohua watched with disbelief: “At least roll up your sleeves.”

Xiao Yeyang raised his arm to roll up his sleeves but realized his hands were covered in grease, so he stretched his hands out to Daohua: “You do it for me.”

Daohua stood up with a look of distaste, quickly walked over to him, and rolled up his sleeves in no time. Seeing his robe stained with water spots, she said helplessly, “Be gentler with your movements. If someone knows you’re washing dishes, fine, but if they don’t, they might think you’re taking a bath.”

Xiao Yeyang: “You think I want it this way? It’s just that I have no experience since it’s my first time. It’ll be better next time.”

Hearing this, Daohua couldn’t help but smile, “Then you’ll have to work hard. Next time we eat here, you’ll be the one washing the dishes.” With that, she turned to sit back behind the stove. However, she had scarcely taken a step when she heard a loud ‘clang’ sound.

Turning back, she saw several plates shattered on the ground.

Xiao Yeyang looked innocently at Daohua: “I didn’t do it on purpose, my hands just slipped. I’ll clean it up now.” Saying this, he crouched down to start picking up the pieces.

“Hey, be careful not to cut your fingers. I…”

Daohua hadn’t finished speaking when she saw a smear of crimson on Xiao Yeyang’s hand. She hurried over, pulled him up, and although she wanted to scold him, seeing him looking expectantly at her, all her words turned into a sigh. She promptly led him out of the kitchen.

“Come on, I’ll put some medicine on for you.”

Old Lady Gu and Gu Jian, hearing the commotion, came out of the hall. Seeing Daohua leading Xiao Yeyang to the pharmacy and then returning to the house, they went back inside.

Gu Jian: “I’ve said it before, these two tykes are just fooling around; you worried yourself over nothing.”

Old Lady Gu gave him a sidelong glance: “How could I not worry? Yeyang doesn’t have any elders by his side. If something happens, he doesn’t even know who to ask for help. We really need to keep a closer eye on him.”

Gu Jian fell silent for a moment: “I can guess a thing or two about what’s on that girl Daohua’s mind. She’s keeping her distance from Yeyang, probably because she feels her status isn’t enough.”
