Chapter 22 Worry
Drinking plain water is too unnutritious, and she forgot to buy some milk. However, she seemed to remember that if someone had a dairy cow at that time, she could buy some raw milk and boil it herself.

Children at this age are in the growth stage. If they always eat such a small amount of eggs, they will still be malnourished. Meat, eggs and milk are all indispensable.

Ling Zhuoqun is already eight years old, but he still looks like a little carrot. His peers are almost half a head taller than him. I wonder if anyone will bully him at school...

"By the way, I'm going to take Yaya to the city today. I might be back late in the afternoon. When you come back, do your homework first. I'll bring back some food to cook. Got it?"

After hearing what Li Luo said, Ling Xiaolei was the first to become restless.

She was about to jump out and yell, but was stopped by Ling Xiaoguang. Ling Xiaoguang smiled and nodded: "Okay, we will wait for you at home."

Li Luo nodded, eating the pancake himself while feeding Yaya at the same time.

Ling Xiaolei bit the pancake angrily. Even though the pancake tasted delicious, it didn't mean that he didn't blame Li Luo in his heart.

He often heard rumors in the school that a girl from a certain village had been sold and how much money she was sold for... Could it be that his stepmother had finally revealed her true colors?

Will she bring Yaya to the city and then sell her?

He could clearly see the truth, so why did his brother agree to that woman so easily?

Although he did not agree with his brother's behavior, Ling Xiaolei still listened to his brother, lowered his head and ate the biscuit silently. He didn't know what his brother was thinking.

If their sister is sold by her and given to someone else as a child bride, they will never be able to get her back!

In their village, there was a woman who was bought back home. Not only was she crazy and mentally ill, she was also beaten by that family. Every time he passed by that family, he would avoid them.

They finished their breakfast in silence. The two brothers went to school. Li Luo washed up for himself and Yaya before getting on the bus.

After getting on the bus, Li Luo found a seat by the window, opened the door, and breathed in the fresh air outside. Yaya seemed to have never ridden in a car before. Her little face was flushed with excitement throughout the journey, and she kept babbling with her arms open.

The road was still bumpy and Li Luo was dizzy. Yaya was in good spirits. She looked around curiously with her big eyes, but she didn't cry or make a fuss. She was very well-behaved.

Compared to other crying children in the same car, Yaya is really less of a worry.

After getting off the bus, Li Luo went straight to the textile factory without any hesitation.

As soon as I walked through the door, I heard a harsh taunt: "Li Luo? How dare you come here?"

Li Luo turned around and saw a girl who was about the same age as him. She was wearing a smart shirt, had neat short hair that reached her ears, and a strawberry hairpin. She seemed to have put on makeup.

When the girl saw Li Luo, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose: "Li Luo, weren't you driven to the countryside? Why did you run to the city? Did you suffer injustice in the countryside?"

"But the Li family doesn't want you anymore. You won't get help even if you cry for help now."

The girl's words were full of ridicule and contempt for Li Luo.

The two of them had been fighting and playing together since they were young. They used to live in the same office building and they had always compared themselves to each other. Li Luo was pretty and charming, and her academic performance was pretty good.

She was born in a highly educated family, but she was not as good as the daughter of her father's subordinates in every aspect. So she disliked Li Luo since she was a child, and she still disliked him now! Especially when she heard that Li Luo was going to marry into their family and become her sister-in-law, her disgust for Li Luo reached its peak!
Both of them went to high school. After finishing high school, Li Luo was admitted to college but did not plan to go to college, while Qi Nana really did not want to study.

She loved embroidery and liked to sew things she liked stitch by stitch, so she came to the textile factory and wanted to be an apprentice under the master in the provincial capital.

But unexpectedly, Li Luo met her.

This master has been looking for only one apprentice in such a long time, but only Li Luo was chosen. Qi Nana can only be an ordinary textile worker. This is a disaster for Qi Nana who loves this industry.

After all this, in Qi Nana's heart, she and Li Luo were simply mortal enemies.

So when she learned from the Li family that Li Luo did not know that she was the Li family's biological daughter, she was so happy. At least Li Luo would not marry into her family, and she would not have to look at Li Luo's face.

It’s so cool!
Li Luo wondered who it was, but it turned out to be the sister of her ex-fiancé. After she came to resign today, they might never have any contact again in this life, so Li Luo simply ignored the woman who was talking to herself.

But who would have thought that after Li Luo just glanced at her, he turned around and left as if he saw a stranger.

Qi Nana: Is this still the Li Luo she knew? How dare he ignore her?
"Stop, Li Luo!" Qi Nana quickly caught up with Li Luo and stood in front of him: "I'm asking you a question, are you deaf or dumb?"

Li Luo looked at the girl in front of him, frowned, and looked like "Do I know you very well?"

Li Luo's disdainful look deeply hurt Qi Nana's heart.

Obviously, her background and the resources she received were all better than Li Luo's, but why was she not as good-looking, or as good-learning, or even as tall as Li Luo? Even her craftsmanship, which she was so proud of, was inferior to Li Luo's!
When Li Luo had not yet demonstrated her talent, she had clearly seen the master nodding at her with satisfaction, and she thought she was already half way to becoming the master's apprentice.

But who knew that as soon as Li Luo appeared, the master's eyes always stayed on Li Luo, as if his eyes had grown on Li Luo's body.

This was simply unacceptable to her!
Although she later saw Li Luo's works, she found them to be very creative and lively. A small daisy with a withered petal was embroidered by Li Luo to create a bleak and desolate atmosphere.

But she just couldn't accept it! Li Luo had become an indelible shadow in her heart.

"You're very noisy, you know that? This is a workplace, not a market, and certainly not your home. And there are no rules. You asked me a question, so I have to answer you, right?"

"You, you!" Qi Nana pointed at Li Luo's nose, her chest heaving up and down in anger, her face suddenly flushed: "Master Yuhong no longer recognizes you as his disciple, and you are no longer an employee of the textile factory, get out of here!"

Li Luo frowned. When did she not become an employee of the textile factory?

Her job at that time was handed over to another young girl from the textile factory who was favored by the master. When was she dismissed by the master?

Besides, she is a formal employee of the textile factory. If they really want to fire her, they still need an approval note. How can Qi Nana just slap her lips and she will be fired?

"I never said I didn't want this job, and I also asked for leave from Master Yuhong. When did I say I quit?"

"Heh, hasn't your job been handed over to Lin Ge?"
