Chapter 10 Design
Li Luo was still wondering why Aunt Wang hadn't come yet at this time today? Although they had an argument yesterday, Aunt Wang had received her salary, so she should have been the one to make breakfast.

It seems that she should discuss this with Ling Zhuoqun. If Aunt Wang doesn't want to work anymore, they don't have to pay her wages, and the family will have one less expense.

But after Aunt Wang returned home yesterday, she became more and more angry.

A wild girl appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be Ling Zhuoqun's fiancée, and tried to intimidate her. Not only did her several pounds of meat, eggs and flour go to waste, but she was also scolded by her mother-in-law.

Every time she brought back meat or noodles, her mother-in-law would always smile and hold her in her hands like a gold nugget.

In addition, she could help Ling Zhuoqun's family and bring home money, which made her mother-in-law even happier.

I just didn't hold it today, and my mother-in-law started to look at me as if my eyes were not eyes and my nose was not a nose. She kept looking at me through her nostrils.

"Sister-in-law, why did you make mom unhappy again?" Aunt Wang's sister-in-law, with an expression of watching the fun, helped Aunt Wang pick vegetables.

"I was just saying that. It's all that nosy vixen's fault! Now they've come to my house and found the noodles and meat I hid. From now on, I'm afraid you won't have any more food to eat." Aunt Wang threw the rotten vegetable leaves to the ground in annoyance.

Sister-in-law Li Ailian was completely confused. She thought Wang Xiumei was angry, so why was she taking it out on her? For a moment, Li Ailian was annoyed and shouted, "Whoever made you angry, you should take it out on them. Why are you taking it out on me?"

"Aren't you attracted to the old bachelor from the Ling family? He's already taken a man, so your wish has failed." Wang Xiumei glanced at her sister-in-law, who weighed nearly 200 pounds and was full of fat, but still wanted to eat more delicious food every day.

Most of the meat she brought back went into the mouth of her sister-in-law.

"What!?" Li Ailian jumped up all of a sudden: "Didn't that woman ruin the marriage? Why did she come here to get married? Did Brother Ling just accept her like this?"

Aunt Wang sneered in her heart. This time, her sister-in-law's interests were touched. Is she starting to get anxious?

"You don't know, the Lin family's daughter was taken away by mistake. Now the real daughter of the Lin family is here to get married. Ling Zhuoqun has recognized her, and now she is the real Mrs. Lin."

"Pah!" Li Ailian spat fiercely, "It's been such a short time, they definitely haven't gotten the marriage certificate yet. I don't think she is necessarily the daughter-in-law of the Ling family."

"Sister-in-law, you have to help me!" Li Ailian hugged Wang Xiumei's arms with both hands, shaking left and right and acting coquettishly.

Aunt Wang's small body could not withstand Li Ailian's shaking, which almost broke her bones.

"You said he already has a wife, how can you snatch Ling Zhuoqun back from him?" Aunt Wang pulled Li Ailian's hands away angrily.

"That's because Brother Ling hasn't seen my beauty yet. If Brother Ling saw my pretty appearance, he would definitely be fascinated by me, and that little girl would just be trampled under my feet."

"I'll make her go back to where she came from!" Li Ailian clenched her fists confidently, looking determined to win.

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes but was thinking in her heart, Li Luo was so many times prettier than their sister-in-law. She wondered where her sister-in-law got the confidence from to think Ling Zhuoqun would like her.

However, Aunt Wang's eyes rolled around, as if she had thought of something, and her smiling eyes turned into slits.

"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at? Are you good enough to help me or not?" Looking at Aunt Wang's smile, Li Ailian felt anxious.

"You are my sister-in-law, how can I not help you? If you can marry into the Ling family, my status will rise, and everyone in the village will look up to our Li family!"

Li Ailian nodded with satisfaction, but she didn't know how Aunt Wang would help her.

"That little girl is very vicious. I will go on strike tomorrow. She probably doesn't know that I need to deliver food to Ling Zhuoqun every noon. Tomorrow, my sister-in-law will make a delicious meal and you can bring it to Ling Zhuoqun."

"When necessary, you can use extraordinary means." Aunt Wang gave Li Ailian a look that showed she understood everything. Li Ailian was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head as if she was shy, and pushed Aunt Wang: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I am a girl from a decent family!"

"But the person opposite is Ling Zhuoqun..."

After some self-persuasion, Li Ailian nodded as if she had made up her mind: "For Brother Ling, I...will risk it all!"

Aunt Wang immediately smiled happily: "That's right! You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child! Sister-in-law, the wealth of our Li family depends on you!"

For a moment, Li Ailian nodded vigorously, as if she had been given a glorious mission, with brilliance in her eyes.

……

There was no one at home and Li Luo was really bored, so he planned to clean up the empty space at home so that he could grow some vegetables to eat in the future, so that he could be self-sufficient.

Just do it!

Yaya sat obediently on the stone pier in front of the door. Li Luo stuffed two pieces of candy into Yaya's hands, and he took a hoe and cleared the weeds inside first.

Although Li Luo had lofty ambitions, turning the soil was indeed a strenuous job. After working for a long time and being covered in sweat, he only managed to turn out a small square piece of soil.

There were blisters on my hands.

The people nearby heard the noise and stuck their heads out to see what was going on.

"Aunt Wang, is the sun rising from the west today? You are actually turning over the land at Ling's house?" Xu Mei, holding the child, leaned out her head and teased the busy figure.

Hearing someone talking behind him, Li Luo raised his head, wiped the sweat off his face, and squinted his eyes to look at the person opposite him.

Xu Mei saw that it was not a familiar face and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I thought it was Aunt Wang, I didn't expect..."

"Who are you? Why are you turning the soil here?" Xu Mei asked puzzledly.

Li Luo came to the top of the wall and said with a smile: "Hello, sister. I am Ling Zhuoqun's wife. I just came here yesterday and didn't have time to say hello."

As he said that, Li Luo wiped his hands, took out a candy from his pocket, and handed it to Xu Mei's child: "I don't know what to call you, sister."

"Just call me Xu Mei. Go and thank your sister." Xu Mei was a little flattered. She didn't expect that the bride would come over and give candy to her son.

This candy is a rare thing in the countryside, and not everyone is willing to buy it to eat.

"Thank you, sister." Xu Mei's son clasped his hands together, shook them back and forth, and spoke word by word.

"Pfft, Sister Xu, this is a mess. I call you sister and the child calls me sister. What's going on?" Li Luo smiled, and her whole body brightened up.

Xu Mei also smiled a little embarrassedly: "You are not that old, so I can't call you auntie. It's better to call you sister."

"Did Aunt Wang go to deliver food to Brother Ling?" Xu Mei looked towards the door, but still didn't see Aunt Wang.
