Chapter 19 Provocation
"But today Li Luo went to deliver food to Ling Zhuoqun. What's going on? Didn't you say that Li Luo didn't know about this?" Li Ailian paused, a look of doubt in her eyes.

"Wang Xiumei, don't let me catch you coming up with any bad ideas. If you plan to ruin my reputation and get kicked out of my family, I will definitely drag you down with me!"

After hearing Li Ailian's harsh words, Aunt Wang was speechless. It was obvious that she and her sister-in-law had a common enemy, Li Luo, but now that Li Luo had not been defeated yet, a rift had arisen between the two of them.

It’s that hateful Li Luo indeed!

Li Luo sneezed from a distance. Who was thinking about her? Li Luo rubbed her nose and continued to play with Yaya.

"Oh, right? And what about the two boys from the Ling family?" Aunt Wang suddenly thought of something, sneered, and said, "Li Luo, don't think I have no way to deal with you!"

She did not go to Ling Zhuoqun's house to help today, and Li Luo even went there to cook for Ling Zhuoqun. If Li Luo could cook, would their family still need her to help?

She finally found a leisurely job and could earn fifty yuan a month from Ling Zhuoqun. After deducting the money for buying vegetables, Ling Zhuoqun would also bring back meat from the farm.

Every time she would go to the vegetable market, pick up the rotten vegetable leaves that people threw away, put them in a basket, and take them home to cook for the children.

These dishes didn't cost money, so she could put all the fifty yuan into her own pocket.

But on the surface, she still gave her mother-in-law thirty yuan, because Ling Zhuoqun said the salary was thirty yuan, and the remaining twenty yuan was her hard work fee!
Moreover, taking care of these three children is much easier. She can watch the big color TV and take a hot bath at Ling Zhuoqun's house. She only needs to cook two meals a day and still get paid. Apart from the Ling family, where else can she find such a good job?
Seeing that Li Luo was about to take her job, how could she tolerate it?

So he went out without saying a word and once again blocked the road that Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei had to take to go to and from school.

After waiting for a long time, we finally saw Da Mao and Xiao Mao walking leisurely home.

"Big Mao, Little Mao!" Aunt Wang quickly waved her hand and went forward to greet them.

"Aunt Wang, why are you so anxious?" Ling Xiaoguang said calmly.

"Oh my! Damao, you don't know, your stepmother is simply not a human! Today I went to your house to help and wanted to take Yaya with me, but your stepmother refused to let me take care of her."

"She was still pinching Yaya's waist and shoulders. When I was bathing Yaya, there were still black, purple and blue marks on her body. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look."

Aunt Wang spoke seriously.

Ling Xiaolei's heart suddenly tightened: "Brother, what should we do? She bullied Yaya again, and Yaya is still so young!" Ling Xiaolei clenched his little hands into fists and said angrily.

"Let's go home first and see what kind of monster Li Luo is!" Ling Xiaoguang still had a cold face. Facing Aunt Wang's provocation, he was not as excited as Ling Xiaolei.

After all, this is what Aunt Wang told him and his brother yesterday, saying that the stepmother came and bullied his sister, but after they returned home, his sister had turned into a sweet and soft little princess, and even smiled sweetly at Li Luo.

But before, when Aunt Wang took Yaya with her, Yaya was always resistant. As long as Aunt Wang got close to Yaya, she would cry.

"Aunt Wang, don't worry. If that stepmother really did something to let Yaya down, we will never let her stay." Ling Xiaoguang seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through everything.

His eyes swept across Aunt Wang sharply, and Aunt Wang's heart skipped a beat, as if the secret in her heart had been discovered by Ling Xiaoguang.

But Ling Xiaoguang was obviously just a half-grown boy who knew nothing, yet she still easily controlled him!

"Okay, you guys go back quickly, I'm afraid Yaya will be bullied by that woman." Although Aunt Wang could hardly hold back her laughter, she still had to act well. She couldn't show any abnormality in front of Da Mao and Xiao Mao.

Sure enough, after her instigation, Da Mao and Xiao Mao quickened their pace to go home and almost ran back.

"Brother, do you think that woman will really bully Yaya? She clearly gave Yaya a bath yesterday. Can't she pretend even for a day?" Ling Xiaolei scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Do you also think that everything that woman did was just an act?" Ling Xiaoguang asked back.

"Isn't it true? Aunt Wang said that she saw that woman bullying Yaya with her own eyes!" Ling Xiaoguang said anxiously.

"Then I said you stole my braised pork today!" Ling Xiaoguang replied.

"I didn't! You slandered me! Although I like to eat meat, we didn't eat braised pork today. We ate pancakes!" Ling Xiaolei raised his voice and explained.

"See, it costs nothing for a person to spread rumors, but if you try to explain, people will think you are trying to cover up something." Ling Xiaoguang hit the crux of the matter right away.

"Brother, how do you know everything?" Ling Xiaolei bit his fingers and frowned. He found that his elder brother was not as simple as other children of his age.

"Then let me ask you again, who do you think is a better liar, that woman or Aunt Wang?"

"We've only been with that woman for one day, so I have no way to judge. But Aunt Wang...she always uses tricks in front of Dad. Only when Dad is around can we eat better vegetables and meat." Ling Xiaolei pouted.

Ling Xiaoguang spread his hands and said, "Although I don't have a good impression of that woman, it doesn't mean that we can indiscriminately accuse her."

After being enlightened by Ling Xiaoguang, Ling Xiaolei seemed to understand a lot more and was not so anxious to go home anymore.

However, when they returned to the door of the house, they did hear Yaya crying. The two brothers panicked and rushed into the house, shouting, "Don't bully Yaya, come to us if you have any problems!"

Inside the room, three men were staring at each other, stunned and standing there.

"Dad..." The two brothers lowered their heads and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong? You guys are so frightened today. Am I going to bully Yaya?" Ling Zhuoqun had a dark face. He just didn't want Yaya to eat so much candy. When he saw Yaya grabbing the candy, he picked her up and she started crying.

Isn't it? After coaxing her for a long time, she still had two crystal tears hanging on her grape-like eyes.

"Dad, you came back quite early today." Ling Xiaolei scratched his head awkwardly. He had never lost his composure in front of his father before.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I shouted too loudly. Mainly because Yaya was crying so miserably, we thought Yaya was bullied." Ling Xiaoguang explained calmly.

Ling Zhuoqun was a little embarrassed for a moment. He always looked resolute in front of men. When he was in the army, he was known as a tough guy. Some of his comrades still salute him reflexively when they see him.

"It's okay, I just don't want Yaya to eat too much sugar." Ling Zhuoqun cleared his throat and explained why Yaya was crying.
