Jie Jingchen's words stung. Jie Jingjue clutched his chest as if wounded and said aggrievedly, "Fourth Brother, I'm your brother. Your full-blooded younger brother."
"Fifth Brother, they're about to eat. If you don't go now, there won't even be any leftovers," Jie Jingshan said, tugging on Jie Jingjue's sleeve. She was genuinely worried her fourth and fifth brothers would start fighting.
Jie Jingjue huffed, then turned and stalked out of the kitchen.
Watching Jie Jingjue storm off, Qin Mei waited until he was a good distance away before she couldn't help but ask, "He won't be coming here to freeload off us now, will he?"
"Hard to say." Jie Jingchen's eyebrow twitched slightly as he went back to washing the pots and bowls. Once they were clean, he swapped in another pot to heat water for a bath.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, one of my fifth brother's good qualities is that he doesn't hold a grudge," Jie Jingshan said with a smile.
