<h4>Chapter 1007: My Father Is the Best</h4>


    “Of course, do you think I’m as bad as you are?” Yuan Yuan said as he looked at the strange shape that his sister had made. He couldn’t even tell what it was supposed to be because it looked like a pile of poop.


    Xi Xi said sulkily, “I’m still a beginner, alright? After I’ve mastered this, I swear I’ll be better than you.” She refused to admit defeat and continued to try to shape the ydough in her hands.


    Yuan Yuan had stopped ying with ydough for a while. There was a period when he had enjoyed ying with ydough and could create many tiny animals and even human figurines from ydough.


    He dug up several kinds of colored ydough and started to mold them into shapes. 10 minutester, he had created a tiny human figurine.


    Xi Xi turned to look at her brother and couldn’t help but p her hands happily when she saw that the human figurine looked a lot like her mother. He even managed to recreate her mother’s hairstyle and clothes.


    “Yuan Yuan, it’s amazing how you managed to create a figurine that looks so much like mom,” Xi Xi said as she looked at her brother in admiration. The more she interacted with her brother, the more clever he seemed to her. He could speak English, y chess, recognized many words, and could even draw. He was theplete opposite of her since she could only dance and couldn’t even write her name properly.


    Yuan Yuan nodded and chose to ignore her praise. He realized that his sister was only good at chattering non-stop and even her dancing was only of an average standard. She couldn’t evenpare to the girls in his ss.


    Yuan Yuan continued to y with ydough and soon, he created another human figurine. This time, he created a male figurine.


    He had modeled this figurine after his father. The figurine was d in a ck shirt and pants and carried a document in his hand as though he was hard at work.


    “Yuan Yuan, who is this?” Xi Xi asked curiously when she saw that the human figurine looked like an adult male.


    “This is my dad,” Yuan Yuan said as he ced the figurine of his father next to the figurine of his mom.


    “Yuan Yuan, could you make me a figurine of my dad?” Xi Xi asked. She was upset when she saw the figurine of Yuan Yuan’s dad being ced next to the figurine of her mom.


    Yuan Yuan froze and turned to look at Xi Xi with a frown.


    “Why should I make one of your dad?” Yuan Yuan asked. He didn’t like Xi Xi’s father at all.


    “Please help me. I’m sure you could do it, can’t you?” Xi Xi said as she tugged on his clothes. She had learned that to act cute in front of her brother and parents because they would always give in to her requests whenever she did that.


    “I won’t do it,” Yuan Yuan said with an unhappy frown. “Your dad is so ugly and he would even beat others up. Why don’t you try to make him yourself?”


    Yuan Yuan had an extremely poor impression of his sister’s father. He would vaguely remember Xi Xi’s father hitting his mother and himself. Although he couldn’t remember the exact details, he knew that Xi Xi’s father had hit them.


    Xi Xi was extremely upset by her brother’s words. “Yuan Yuan, my dad is the best. He doesn’t hit anyone,” she retorted.


    Xi Xi hated how her brother would always insist that her dad was not a good person.


    He Xiyan could hear her children arguing when she returned home.


    Their argument went along the lines of “my dad is the best, not yours”, and “my dad is handsome while your dad is ugly.”


    He Xiyan coughed softly and soon, Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi fell silent.


    They both said in unison, “Mom...”


    He Xiyan smiled as she walked over and gently patted their shoulders.


    Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi noticed that her hand was wrapped in a thickyer of bandages and she was clearly injured.


    “Mom, what happened?” Xi Xi asked as she bit her lip and looked at her mother’s injured arm.
