Chapter 111 Poor

Ling Xiaoguang sighed: "If my stepmother is unhappy about this matter, I promise her that I will help you study hard and improve your grades."

"But, but if my stepmother knew that my grades were not good, would she be upset with my dad?" Ling Xiaolei was very nervous. He always felt that he had been labeled a bad boy.

"Don't think too much. Dad and stepmom are together because they love each other, and we just did a wrong question, Mom. Besides, this is only temporary. I think stepmom will not blame you." Ling Xiaoguang continued to comfort her.

Hearing his brother say this, Ling Xiaolei's eyes lit up: "Really, really, brother?"

After all, in Ling Xiaolei's opinion, Ling Xiaoguang's words were never wrong.

Ling Xiaoguang nodded seriously: "Don't worry, brother won't lie to you, and we must not lie to our stepmother. If you lie to her, you will have to make up for it with countless lies in the future."

Ling Xiaolei blinked guiltily: "I know, brother."

Then he lowered his eyes.

He didn't expect that his little thoughts were also seen by his brother. He did think about handing a test paper with corrected scores to his stepmother, but what if he didn't do well in the next test?

We can't keep living in false lies, can we?
Lin.

Li Luo was absent-minded today. After meeting the fifth round of relatives, Li Luo was exhausted. These relatives never came together, but one by one, as if they had agreed to come to see Li Luo.

Until Li Luo's patience was exhausted, they just beat around the bush, praising Li Luo's good fortune and the smoke coming out of the Lin family's ancestral tomb.

Some people also tried to find out whether Mr. Lin's family was real and wanted to make a Simmons bed for Li Luo. Others also wanted to make some money from Li Luo in other ways, but Li Luo declined.

After all, this wastes time and effort, and the items may not be available as cheaply as those sold outside, so naturally people will buy them if they can, and others can only leave in disappointment.

During this time, only when Lin Weimin's two daughters came over, their timid appearance reminded Li Luo of herself in the past.

She could see that the two girls grew up in an environment of extreme lack of love. Even when talking, they didn't dare to look other people in the eye. They were evasive and secretive, making it difficult to communicate with them.

"I, we... Luoluo, we are here to learn how to cook." Zhaodi's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and Li Luo had to almost put his ear close to Zhaodi's mouth to barely hear her.

"Learn to cook? At this time?" Li Luo was surprised. Originally, Li Luo thought that the two children were not living well, but she didn't expect that the uncle would not even let the two children cook? Then how did they grow up?

Li Luo couldn't help but feel curious.

However, Li Luo was not secretive and taught the two sisters step by step when cooking. However, when pouring in the ribs or chicken, the two girls frowned.

This is chicken and meat, but their family can't afford it. What they eat most is cold wild vegetables. Besides rice, they also have rice porridge every day.

They tried this many times and finally improved the food from being half-cooked to being edible.

But this was just a way to make ends meet, and it was nothing compared to the life of the Lin family. Li Luo looked at Cheng Yuzhu who was burning a fire nearby, and saw Cheng Yuzhu looked up, shook her head at her, and then sighed, as if she didn't want to see this situation.

In the end, although the two girls remembered the steps, they had no rice to cook, so Cheng Yuzhu gave the two sisters a small piece of pork belly that she could not finish.

The two sisters felt as if they had found a treasure and thanked Cheng Yuzhu profusely. Cheng Yuzhu waved her hand and told the two to go home early.

"These two girls have had a hard life. They grew up eating at many people's homes." Cheng Yuzhu noticed Li Luo's curiosity and said as she handed wood to the stove.

Li Luo nodded. Looking at the two sisters' dry hair, sallow faces, and shriveled skin, Li Luo couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. How could this be the life a human being should live?
No wonder the two sisters were so happy when they got that little bit of pork belly. The Lin family didn’t have a refrigerator now, so if they wanted to preserve the meat, they could only put the basin containing the meat in the well to ensure that the meat would not rot.

However, there was still too much meat every day, so Cheng Yuzhu simply offered it as a sacrifice, which was better than wasting the meat.

After meeting the two sisters, the meals at home were almost ready. Li Luo almost daydreamed and didn't want to go out. In the past two days, she was full of energy only on the first day. Now she just wanted to lie there like a salted fish without any dreams.

She suddenly missed the days at the Ling family. It seemed like she hadn't seen the two little brats and Ling Zhuoqun for a while. Ever since she ran away with a kiss, she didn't dare to think about Ling Zhuoqun again. Unexpectedly, he suddenly popped into her mind for no reason.

Yes, she missed her family.

Feeling Yaya at the hem of his trousers, constantly pulling at his trouser legs, as if wanting her to go out with him, Li Luoda gathered his energy, smiled and took Yaya outside.

"Yaya, are you missing home too?" Li Luo smiled and smelled Yaya.

"Hmm." Yaya frowned, as if she was thinking, or as if she was angry. She didn't know when Li Luo would take her back.

Cheng Yuzhu was just about to call Li Luo to eat, but unexpectedly she overheard the conversation between Li Luo and Yaya.

Cheng Yuzhu sighed silently in her heart. It seemed that Xiao Ling and Li Luo had a really good relationship. It had only been less than three days since the two of them arrived at the Lin family, but Li Luo was already anxious to go back.

However, Li Luo attaches great importance to family, which is very gratifying to Cheng Yuzhu. On the one hand, her grandchildren are all very well-behaved. Although they are not her biological children, Cheng Yuzhu's love for them has not diminished at all.

Even if Luoluo has her own children in the future, she is confident that she can treat all of them equally.

"Go back if you want. There's nothing to do at home. You must be feeling uncomfortable these days. There are a lot of mosquitoes at home. It can't compare to the Ling family's...mansion." Cheng Yuzhu was happy for Li Luo from the bottom of her heart.

Li Luo looked at Cheng Yuzhu reluctantly. She also knew that Cheng Yuzhu couldn't bear to leave her. After all, her daughter had been missing for more than ten years. After she came back, she didn't even look after her carefully before getting married. She would feel bad about keeping it in her heart.

Cheng Yuzhu waved her hand and asked Li Luo to ride the bicycle, and she carried Yaya and went back with her.

Li Luo originally wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, before she even left the courtyard, she saw two figures, one big and two small, standing in front of her. Da Mao and Xiao Mao each had a bouquet of flowers in their hands, which they handed to Li Luo.

In Ling Zhuoqun's hands were packages of various sizes, which he euphemistically called gifts for his mother-in-law.
