Chapter 32 Drive away
Aunt Wang laughed dryly with a shameless face and said, "These are all misunderstandings, right? I heard all this from Tiedan's family. I am also afraid that the children will suffer from having a bad stepmother. Just think that I am just saying it without meaning it."

"I've been busy with farm work these past two days. My back and waist are sore, so I haven't had time to cook for the children. It's really troubling Luo Luo. It's really hard to take care of the children."

"How about this, Auntie will come over tomorrow morning to cook for the children and make sure they have enough to eat."

Wang Xiumei was also good at pretending. She knew this was her chance to show off, so she quickly complimented Li Luo a few words, hoping to get a chance to stay.

Otherwise, she might lose this lucrative job.

Li Luo was a patient woman, much better than the brainless woman before. She knew how to win people's hearts in just a few days. However, she didn't believe that Li Luo was so patient.

She must wait in this house, waiting for the day when Li Luo reveals his true colors. Then her good days will come!
Li Luo had never seen an old lady as shameless as Aunt Wang. People had already suggested to send the guests away, but Aunt Wang pretended not to hear anything and put herself in the position of a weak person. Was she trying to gain sympathy by doing this?
Who doesn't work? You are paid by others, so it is reasonable for you to take time out to cook for your employer. At the very least, you should at least let them know in advance, right?

Don't forget, her sister-in-law wanted to climb into Ling Zhuoqun's bed...

Li Luo was thinking about how to convince Ling Zhuoqun to kick Aunt Wang out, but she was worried that if there was any connection between Aunt Wang's family and the Ling family, which she was not aware of, it would damage the harmony between the two families.

Do you really want to keep her?

Ling Zhuoqun said with a cold face: "Don't bother Aunt Wang, I already have a fiancée, and I won't bother you in the future. This is this month's salary. There are still a few days left in this month, so consider it as your hard work fee."

If Ling Zhuoqun wasn't busy with work, he really wouldn't have to ask anyone for help. But as a grown man, he has to be both a father and a mother, which is really difficult for him. He has no choice but to find someone to take care of the child.

Although he didn't have time to be thoughtful, he was willing to spend money on his children.

He always brought home a lot of meat and gave a lot of money to Aunt Wang, asking her to buy more nutritious vegetables to nourish the children.

But since the children came to their house, they seemed to have not grown much and looked pale and thin.

Is this really the state a child should be in when growing normally? The children in the village who are the same age as them are all as strong as calves.

Li Luo only took care of them for a few days, and during these days, the children's faces were rosy and they looked much more energetic. They even had new clothes to wear.

The house was cold and deserted before, but after Li Luo came, the ground outside was renovated, the house was filled with air, and there was the aroma of food in the house.

This is a warm home.

He gave Aunt Wang so much money before because he hoped that the children would have a better life and hoped that Aunt Wang would do her best, but now it seems that the opposite has happened.

The children always say they are hungry even in their sleep.

Even though Ling Zhuoqun gave the children money and asked them to buy things themselves, the children put the money in a piggy bank and refused to spend any.

"How can you be like this, Xiao Ling? Luo Luo just came to our house and you asked her to do so much. She's working so hard. What if she has any complaints..."

Li Luo saw that Aunt Wang had brought the flames of war to herself, so how could she let Aunt Wang succeed like this? "Aunt Wang, you are really serious. I don't feel tired at all. I can cook."

"Besides, Yaya is so cute and easy to take care of. I don't have anything else to do except cooking. Since I am a member of the family, I naturally have to contribute at home."

She didn't have to be like the women in rural areas today, who have to farm, take care of children, and cook...being busy like a top.

Yaya can play in the yard by herself, and she is cute and well-behaved. Da Mao and Xiao Mao can wash their own clothes and dishes. She just cooks, which is her hobby. How can it be tiring? Even if Ling Zhuoqun and the others were not around, would she not have to eat?

Li Luo's current life is considered a god's life in the countryside.

But Aunt Wang's words were indeed ill-intentioned. She didn't want their family to have an easy life and was trying to sow discord!

"Aunt Wang, your money has been paid. You can leave now. We are going to eat."

Wang Xiumei saw that Ling Zhuoqun's attitude meant that he was determined not to use her! She immediately became unhappy and sat on the ground crying and throwing a tantrum: "Oh, Xiao Ling! You don't know how important working here is to your aunt!"

If Ling Zhuoqun stopped giving her money, where would she get the twenty yuan to spend? The remaining thirty yuan was for household expenses.

"Our whole family depends on your salary. You're leaving them all starving! If you think fifty yuan a month is too much, then forty is fine. It's just for the children's food..."

"But don't worry, I will make sure they eat well and won't be picky about food anymore! Please, don't let Auntie go!"

Li Luo looked at this scene and didn't know whether to admire Aunt Wang's generosity or Ling Zhuoqun's tolerance.

Fifty yuan a month! You have to know that some workers in the city can't get such a high salary now. Her salary in the textile factory is higher because she works under the master.

No wonder Aunt Wang would be so disgraceful to beg Ling Zhuoqun. If it were her, with such good treatment, she would also be eager to stay.

Yaya, who had never seen such a scene, was so scared that she burst into tears, which made Li Luo feel very distressed.

Ling Zhuoqun's face became even colder, and his tone almost made the whole room drop by two degrees: "Aunt Wang, haven't I made it clear enough? If you don't know how to behave, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Li Luo took Yaya with him, pulled Da, and Xiao Mao and hid aside.

Given Aunt Wang’s current condition, it’s not unusual for her to do anything, but the children must not get hurt.

"Don't cry, Yaya, it's okay, be good." Li Luo patted Yaya's back gently to calm her down. Yaya hugged Li Luo's neck tightly and slowly calmed down, still twitching from time to time.

"Xiao Ling, you can't be like this! Even if your aunt has no merit, she has worked hard. During this period, she got up early and went to bed late every day to cook for the children and bring you meals. Don't you really remember your aunt's kindness?"

"Big Mao, Little Mao, tell me, is what grandma said right?"

Ling Xiaolei swallowed his saliva, shrank his neck and said carefully: "Grandma Wang, I...we like the food cooked by Auntie more, and I don't want to eat your food anymore."

Wang Xiumei's face suddenly drooped.

Ling Xiaoguang's face was as cold as Ling Zhuoqun's. He said nothing, looking like a replica of Ling Zhuoqun.

"Aunt Wang, people's patience is limited. You know how you treat the children. And you haven't said a word for the past two days. If it weren't for Li Luo, would the children have starved to death?"

"I have already overpaid you. If you think the money is too much, just return it to me. If you still want to pester me, I won't have to worry about the reputation of my fellow villagers anymore."
