Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 803: Younger Brother Misses Mom

"Brother, do you think hiding here is a bad idea?"

"Don’t worry, brother, nothing will happen."

"But if they can’t find us, they’ll be really anxious, right? Grandpa and Second Aunt treat us well."

Jiang Buchen furrowed his small brow, earnestly instructing his brother.

"There’s a saying, you can’t judge a book by its cover. If they are good people, why does Mom always seem so unhappy when she comes back? Why does she always argue with Dad? Why don’t Grandpa and Second Aunt help Mom?"

Jiang Buchen’s series of questions successfully silenced Jiang Bufan.

After a moment, he also furrowed his small brow and nodded firmly, clenching his fist.

"Brother, you’re right, they really aren’t good people. We should let them be anxious for a while. I need to grow up quickly so I can chase away the bad people and protect Mom!"

Jiang Buchen stretched out his arm and patted Jiang Bufan’s head.

"You’re amazing, brother. I want to learn from you too."

"Hehe."

Jiang Bufan was still imagining the scene of growing up, unaware that Jiang Buchen beside him had already calmed down.

In the eyes of others, he was just an innocent child, but in reality, he already had a thorough understanding of the Jiang Family.

The eldest Grandpa seemed kind but was actually rigid and harsh, overly concerned with appearances, incapable of supporting a large family.

The Second Aunt was nice but too weak, excessively doting on her children.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Li were perfect examples.

From his previous impressions and investigations, Jiang Yan was a complete jerk, and Jiang Li was arrogant, disrespecting the elderly and unkind to the young.

Second brother Jiang Cheng seemed polite and obedient but was actually a black-hearted villain.

Third brother Jiang Shixu... he seemed to have never met him; people said he was timid and withdrawn.

The Second Uncle and Second Aunt were one to avoid conflict, the other to be too domineering.

As for their father... he was a complete mediator, unwilling to offend anyone, but ended up offending everyone.

This was Jiang Buchen’s previous view of the Jiang Family.

But this time he came back, and though he had only been here for a day, he clearly noticed that everyone seemed quite different.

Grandpa was no longer unreasonable, but much more affectionate, willing to wait for them all night on New Year’s Eve without a single complaint.

The Second Aunt was not as weak anymore, even willing to argue with their Great Aunt for the sake of the eldest sister.

Jiang Yan seemed not so much of a jerk anymore, tirelessly chauffeuring them around.

Second brother Jiang Cheng no longer had a hypocritical demeanor, his aura of hostility reduced significantly.

And he even saw the third brother he had never met before, who even greeted him.

The Second Uncle and Second Aunt had changed a lot, even rekindling their romance.

Of course, the one who changed the most was Jiang Li.

She was completely different from his impression; she was now very polite, dignified, and elegant, even ten times smarter than before.

Seemingly detached yet actually manipulating the entire situation behind the scenes.

Last night, even Aunt Xuezhi’s deliberate trouble was seen through by her instantly.

The changes in others were still acceptable.

But her change was truly unbelievable.

It was as if she had been replaced by a different person.

So early this morning, he coaxed his brother to sneak out with him, just to see what kind of reaction these people would have.

Especially that eldest sister.

Seeing Jiang Buchen furrow his small brow, Jiang Bufan got a bit anxious.

"Brother, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look unhappy?"

Jiang Buchen was just about to explain when suddenly a scolding voice came from a distance—

"Oh, you little brats, no wonder we couldn’t find you; you’re hiding here!"

The voice wasn’t anyone else but Jiang Yan.

Seeing the group of people suddenly gather under the tree, the two small faces "swoosh" turned pale.

Jiang Buchen was even more shocked.

How did they find us?!

Jiang Zhao Yuan and Lin Manru were both exasperated yet amused.

They were spinning in circles anxiously at home, searching all morning without finding them, only to discover that the two mischief-makers were hiding in the backyard tree!

If it weren’t for Jiang Li calculating their position, they might really have called the police.

The angriest among them was Jiang Mingchuan.

The whole family was busy on New Year’s Day because of these two brats.

Even he was dragged around.

He was so angry that he picked up a broom beside him and pointed at the treetop, "You two brats, get down here quickly, or I’ll tan your hides!"

Lin Manru quickly snatched the object from his hand.

"What are you doing, don’t scare the children!"

Meng Xuezhi, who had been clamoring to call the police, also fell silent, suspiciously and astonishedly sneaking glances at Jiang Li.

This little girl was actually so amazing, she really found them!

Jiang Buchen on the tree burst into tears with a "wah."

Jiang Bufan clenched his fist, his face flushed, "If you want to hit someone, hit me. You can’t hit brother; brother missed Mom, so I brought him here. Standing here allows us to see farther, so we can find Mom!"

As soon as Jiang Bufan spoke, the tempers of the parents instantly disappeared.

After all, the kids were safe, just a bit naughty. A few reprimands would do; no need to be harsh.

However, Jiang Cheng, standing at the back of the crowd, sensed something was wrong.

These two little buns... why did they seem so similar to his temperament?

Jiang Mingchuan had no choice but to put down what he was holding, smoothing his emotions, "You two come down quickly. Dad won’t hit you. Come down first, and after dinner, I’ll take you to find Mom."

Jiang Bufan looked down at the ground, then at his side, his lips pouting, "I can only climb up trees, I can’t climb down."

Jiang Mingchuan: "....."

His hard-earned calm was once again disrupted.

Thankfully, Jiang Li spoke up in time, "No worries, use this."

As she spoke, she handed a net to Jiang Mingchuan.

The net was used by the servants at home to catch fish, brand new and never used.

Jiang Mingchuan glanced at the net in his hand, then at the harmless Jiang Li, feeling a bit hesitant.

"This... will it work?"

Jiang Cheng volunteered himself.

"Third Uncle, let me do it. I can manage without hurting them."

Saying this, he took the net and walked forward.

Compared to the other adults at home, he probably disliked children the most.

He hated kids crying, hated them talking, hated everything about them.

Perhaps because seeing them reminded him of himself as a child.

So compared to their timidity, he had no such concerns, very decisively and accurately placing the net over Jiang Bufan’s head—

Then flipped it.

He scooped up the little demon like catching a fish.
