Chapter 463: The Tyrant Pigeon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Li continued on the topic of the toy, pleading, “Brother, I really want to see if it’s a golden retriever toy. Can I take it out and look? I won’t break it.” His words were accompanied by a gaze that was fixed intently on the gift box, as if he intended to see through it.

Su Bing’s face was stern as he rejected his brother’s inappropriate request. “We don’t know who it belongs to, and we have no right to touch it. You always talk about mom, but you seem to forget the rules she taught us so quickly.”

Su Li pouted, disgruntled. If he couldn’t look, then so be it. What was the big deal? He left the living room and headed into the yard, grabbing a handful of dried corn kernels as he made his way to the pigeon cage.

As soon as he entered the pigeon cage, the pigeons seemed to know that food was coming. They all flew down, and he placed the dried corn kernels into the feeder. The pigeons all flocked to eat.

Having fed the pigeons in one cage, Su Li grabbed another handful of dried corn kernels and entered a second pigeon cage. He also put the corn kernels into the feeder, and the pigeons all gathered around.

However, the atmosphere here was not as harmonious as in the first cage. Here, a robust pigeon reigned supreme. It didn’t eat peacefully but pecked at the other pigeons, causing them to scatter around the feeder. It chased them relentlessly until they were too afraid to approach the feeder. Only then did it stop its bullying behavior and began to eat alone.

Su Li was displeased by this sight. He pointed at the tyrant pigeon and scolded, “How can you be so unsociable and unkind, eating alone like this? It’s too much! Next time we have roast pigeon, we’ll eat you!”

The tyrant pigeon seemed to understand Su Li’s words. It suddenly stopped eating, raised its head to look at Su Li, and then nodded, making a pitiful “coo” sound.

The other pigeons then resumed eating, and the tyrant pigeon nodded at Su Li again before joining them in eating.

Su Li left the pigeon cage satisfied. He believed that the tyrant pigeon had just apologized to its companions and even bowed to him. Yes, from now on, it would no longer be the tyrant pigeon, but a gentleman pigeon that knew how to correct its mistakes!

When Su Li returned, his older brother Su Bing was in the bathroom washing their clothes. Su Li squatted in front of him and began to recount the story of the tyrant pigeon’s transformation into a gentleman pigeon.

“Brother, the tyrant pigeon must have realized its mistake, so it corrected its behavior in time. I was also wrong earlier when I wanted to look at someone else’s things without their permission. Brother, I know I was wrong!”

Su Li rolled up his sleeves, ready to help his brother with the chores. Su Bing wrung out the washed clothes and put them into a small basin next to him. He looked up at Su Li and said, “As long as you understand, that’s enough. Let me handle this. If you really want to help, go clean up the yard.”

Immediately, Su Li rose from his seat and stepped outside to sweep the yard. No sooner had he stepped out than he saw his parents returning home. He ran towards them, throwing his arms around his mother. “Mom, I just fed the pigeons. Do you know what happened? There was a king pigeon…” He began to recount the story of the king pigeon once again.

Suddenly, Su Shen, his father, reached out with an unyielding hand, gripping his son’s clothing and pulling him away. Just as Su Li was about to protest, his gaze fell upon his aunt, Su Jing. He rubbed his eyes, confirming her presence once more, before darting forward to snatch his little sister from his aunt’s arms. His mouth hung open in fear, worried that his aunt might do something harmful to his sister.

Although their aunt was not particularly kind and had no desire to take care of them, she had never inflicted any substantial harm on the siblings. However, her lack of interest in their well-being was well-known. Now, seeing her holding his sister and appearing to be quite content, he was certain something was amiss.

Su Jing noticed her nephew’s guarded demeanor and a flicker of embarrassment crossed her face. Who was to blame for this? It was her own past misdeeds. She knew she had to take things slowly. As long as she started treating her nephews well from now on, they would surely change their opinion of her.

Once the family had entered the house, Su Jing began to unwrap a gift box that had been placed on the sofa. She pulled out a golden retriever plush toy and handed it to Su Li. “This is a gift your aunt bought for you,” she said. “I’ll be staying here until after the Yuan Festival. I hope I won’t be too much of a bother.”

Su Li stared at Su Jing as if she were a strange creature, hesitating to reach out and accept the gift. It was only then that he realized his aunt was capable of speaking kindly.

Could it be that she had actually bought these gifts, including the golden retriever toy? How did she know he liked that particular toy?
