(196) Since He Can't Be My Big Brother, I Guess I Will Just Have To Marry Him

“Big Brother was being a meanie. I don’t want to be nice to him anymore. Big Brother Zhe is nicer than Big Brother.”

Meng Shanshan frowned a little as though she was making a very important decision. “But he is my brother and that’s not something that I can change so I guess I can forgive him. But I still don’t want to play with him!” She stressed on that last sentence.

Lin Yiyi laughed so hard at her comment.

Kids would always be kids. They would always talk about how they don’t want to be close with someone or play with them.

She never thought that the soft and delicate little girl would be mad at her big brother. That being said, she was still going to play the role of the go-between and smooth things out for the two of them.

“Look, you just have that one big brother, right? And you won’t have any more big brothers in the future, so don’t you think you should be nicer to him? If you are very, very nice to your brother, don’t you think he will be very, very nice to you also?”

A little kid’s world was very simple. Meng Shanshan would not be able to understand it if Lin Yiyi had made it too complicated.

But the logic was the same.

Meng Shanshan’s focus was very different from that of Lin Yiyi’s. “Why wouldn’t I have more big brothers?”

Em, about that…

Lin Yiyi was stumped. She wasn’t sure how to explain to Meng Shanshan that she could not create another “big brother” for her biologically.

Meng Shanshan, on the other hand, didn’t need Lin Yiyi to answer that question as she had already found her own answer. “Isn’t Big Brother Zhe a big brother to me too?”

“But Zhe isn’t your real brother.”

This little kiddo had already viewed Lu Mingzhe, whom she had just met not too long ago, as her big brother. All of a sudden, her real big brother was no longer the one and only.

No wonder Meng Yuran was upset.

Lin Yiyi carried on, “Mommy had only given birth to you and your brother, right? Big Brother Zhe is Uncle Lu’s nephew, so he cannot be your ‘real big brother’.”

Meng Shanshan’s mouth dropped open. She had a difficult time wrapping her mind around this.

She didn’t seem to understand the difference between “big brother” and “big brother”.

After a little while, she gave in. “Alright. Big Brother Zhe cannot be my big brother. Nothing we can do about that.”

Seeing that Meng Shanshan seemed to have grasped the concept, Lin Yiyi let out a sigh of relief.

Nevertheless, the little girl said in the very next second, “Big Brother Zhe is so pitiful. Since he can’t be my big brother, I guess I will just have to marry him.”

Lin Yiyi, “???”

How was her silly daughter somehow able to join the first half of the sentence with the second half of the sentence ever so seamlessly?

Whatever did she miss?

Meng Shanshan had no idea what crazy speech she had just proclaimed.

With a very serious look, she said, “I have a good friend and her name is Chen Jia. She said she likes Du Chi a lot and Du Chi is very nice to her so she is going to marry Du Chi. She said, if they get married to each other then they can always be together.”

Lin Yiyi was dumbfounded.

The kind of “like” that little kids talked about was fairly similar to playing house. They play whatever scripts and roles that pleased them.

Just like the “sibling relationships” between Meng Shanshan and Meng Yuran and Lu Mingzhe.

Just like she said how she wanted to be married to Lu Mingzhe.

It was crude and simple!

Meng Shanshan didn’t really understand what a marriage was.

But, boy oh boy, how would Lin Yiyi even begin to explain this one?

Were all kids nowadays this terrifying? ?
